Overview:

The 5th Canadian Armoured Division was advancing north of Arnhem to cut the Amersfoort-Apeldoorn road. On the evening of the 16th, the British Columbia Dragooons had severed the highway and were defending a section of the route east of Voorthuizen. Fearing encirclement, the 6th Fallschirmjager Division attempted to breakout through Voorthuizen. In the process, they ran headlong into the Dragoons. A sharp fight ensued between German paratroopers, supported by self-propelled guns and the Dragoon’s Sherman tanks. Headquarters, 5th Armoured Brigade sent a Badger flamethrower vehicle to assist the defenders.

(VASL Log)		Friday Night Fight

The early terrain makes this difficult for the Germans if the bottlenecks are defended well. My successes were along the northern edge where two of my STuGs punched through the wood along with half my troops. In the centre my forces met an impenetrable wall, although one squad and the 8-0 leader would eventually get through. Two STuGs malf'd their guns on their first shot, the other fell to the firefly when trying to speed over the hill road. Despite early setbacks I was able to force through to my last turn MPh before a pinning leader ended any hope for the Germans.

(VASL Log)		The badger didn't breathe for long and was taken down by the German sniper on turn one. Thereafter the defence held firm, aided by low dice rolling on my part.

2026-08-26(A) nathan wegener vs Mike Nicely German winGerman’s had lots of smoke to cover the assault. Caught a Sherman moving to protect the south flank which opened up the side. Was able to push into the village and overwhelmed the defenders.
