A new scenario posted in H2H
Hey All,
I just posted a new scenario in the H2H section. It is called:
The British Strike Back.
May 21,1940
The 7th Panzer Division had its sights set on Arras and the channel
coast beyond. As the Germans attacked the town there was some
initial confusion among the Allied defenders as Arras was the
army border between the BEF and the French 9th Army. The British
rushed forces to the town and managed to hold back the Germans,
Besides the BEF, some troops from the French 3rd Light Mechanized
Division were in position to help hold the flank along the Scarpe
River west of Arras. Desperate to stem the German tide and buy
the Allied forces some time to regroup, the BEF launched a counterattack
to the south and west of Arras. The British under General Martel
using Matilda I's and II's and supporting troops from the Durham
Light Infantry forced the German 7th Panzer Division to a halt.
The Germans watched in disbelief as their 37 and 50 mm shells
bounced off the thick armor of the Matildas. The German troops
were shaken and morale wavered. The Germans were steadied only
by the intervention of Rommel himself and some timely help from
a couple of 88mm Flak batteries. The British attack knocked out
some 40 German tanks and took several hundred prisoners. This
attack proved the British could hold thier own even against the
overwhelming odds of the German Blitzkrieg.
It is a large 35 turn scenario with plenty of armor and many attack and defense options. Enjoy!
