Overview:

The British 5th Infantry Division was holding positions in the Dunkirk perimeter to allow the evacuation of Allied troops back to England. Colonel Tod’s 2nd Battalion, Royal Scots Fusiliers initially held positions around a farmhouse until it came under intense mortar and artillery fire. Tod moved his troops a few hundred yards forward to a wood line to await the enemy onslaught. At daybreak, Tod found the shattered remnants of his battalion surrounded and decided to fight his way back to the farmstead where he intended to make a stand. . .

2022-11-11(D) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best British winGerman attack on Turn 1 met with breaks which slowed their initial assault. The British crossed the stream and managed to get into the building complex. The German tanks came in, but were eliminated by the ATR and immobilized by ESB. With the British securely in the farm complex, the Germans gave the concesson.
2020-12-01(A) M T vs R.S. German winAn interesting scenario with a chance of the German pursuers becoming de facto attackers at scenario end due to the VCs. I played the Germans and found the scenario to be good for learning the full ASL AFV rules - it plays fast and there are only a few AFVs present but you still get a chance to see many of the rules in practice.
2018-05-19(A) Paul Works vs Scott Martin British win
