Overview:

The British effort to cross the Rhine in September had fallen a bridge short and was now bogged down in "the Island" between the Rhine and Waal Rivers. The Germans had bottled up the Allies and casualties on both sides were mounting. The Wessex Division was scheduled to be pulled out of the line and replaced by the American 101st Airborne Division in Opheusden, a town not far from the Rhine, near the railroad line that served this part of the Netherlands.
Attacker: German (Volksgrenadier-Division 363)
Defender: British/American ((British) 5th Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry, 43rd Wessex Division, (American) 1st Battalion, 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airbourne Division)

2024-03-02(A) Shane Pask vs British/American winTurn 1 started well. I broke most of the defenders and their MMG malfed. Turn 2 everyone who could left and a new batch of Yanks entered. Then things went south. My 7-0 with 3 broken squads managed to rally only 1 by game end, 2 CRed on one turn. The Stugs had no effect at all even though 1 Stug was hit twice by the bazooka - the first bounced off, the second shocked the crew who recovered immediately. At game end, 2 squads and a 9-2 (battle hardened hero) still held out in the last victory hex.
2023-11-05(D) Camille Garek vs Jean-Pascal PAOLI German winOriginal for the allied.
2023-10-03(A) John Garlic vs Mike Cassaro German win[Imported from ROAR]
2023-08-16(A) Martí Cabré vs Josep Maria Cassani German winThe Germans have overwhelming force and massive firepower. Even tough the first two player turns the British broke about 6 German squads by good rolling, there are so many German squads that they managed to fire several 20+ attacks on the British until they broke. Then the vehicles enter and cut retreat paths. We even had the fun situation that a German prisoner attacked its guard creating a Melee in the entry hex for the Americans, forcing them to enter on Open Ground under German fire. On Turn 3 there were no GO Allied units and they conceded.
2023-05-24(D) Paolo Cariolato vs Federico Corso German winOne of the worst scenario I ever played, basically the Allied have no choice on executing the fighting retreat, trying slowing down the attacking germans, no choice on Reinforcement that can come from one place and the changing mechanism is horrible and makes no sense. On top of that the germans have overwhelming forces and this scenario got not enough playtest. I loved the idea of small scenarios on a card, but they should have done more playtest (it was not that difficult to understand that it was unbalanced)
