Overview:

As the remnants of German forces in the Falaise Pocket crumbled, General Sir Bernard Mongomery ordered the British and Canadian armies to pursue the retreating Wehrmacht eastward toward the Seine. Initially slowed by the overwhelming number of German prisoners, the 2nd Canadian Division soon regained momentum. At the forefront of the pursuit, the 5th Brigade encountered determined resistance from German rearguard units. Along the Trun-Orbec road near Vimoutiers, the Black Watch came under heavy fire, prompting Le Régiment de Maisonneuve to join the fight to neutralize the enemy positions. Farther ahead, B Company of the Calgary Highlanders disrupted German engineers attempting to demolish a vital bridge.

2026-07-10(D) Rob Tyson vs Douglas Leslie German winFun little scenario. As the Germans I was ready to throw in the towel by turn 4 after Doug captured the bridge, but the dice gods decided to smile down on me by granting me an extra leader (Leader Promotion from self-rally) and then rolling lots of snake eyes.

(VASL Log)		Friday Night Fight

Got of to a poor start, rolling 1 on the ? SSR3, so no extra ? I elected to defend south of the river with the aim of delaying the Canadians until my reinforcements arrived. Just a half squad with the mmg north of the river firing straight down the bridge road. Oh and the dummies in the brush hex looking across to the west in front of the bridge buildings.

(VASL Log)		It looked like an easy Canadian win as they swept through the German defenders on the first two turns. They came unstuck when a German squad infiltrated its way out of CC and ended up as a thorn in their flesh in the back field while a HS self rallied with a snake eyes, generated a leader and went on to break a vital German PIAT unit. with a low odds shot.

Rob did well to cling on here but I think that this is how the scenario is meant to play out. The Canadians can make mincemeat of the onboard defenders but they are then forced to defend the bridge from wooden buildings while under fire from a Panzer that they can't kill. The scenario will generally come down to the German tank rolling onto the bridge on the final turn and there is no guarantee that the Canadians can kill it with a PIAT, assuming that they have any left in the possession of an unbroken squad.
