Scenario NZeD003

The initial Mauri/NZ line was tight across the middle of the map causing a fight for anyone coming down the road. The 17lb gun was in the road, between minefields and fortified with other units, in the entrenchment. The rest of the forces were spread loosely North and South from there. The defenses included the Eastern half of the ridge along the Southern half of board 78 and the hills in the North of board 79. A couple of minefields and a reserve unit were settled in and around the village. The Germans went for the middle of the road, at first, as a feint (and to see if it could be done), but to no avail, after an hour of this, the attack shifted to the Eastern half of the ridge. This battle raged for four hours and it never did collapse completely, however the most Westerly portion did collapse and the chase was on. Unfortunately, for the Germans, the NZ troops were shifting troops toward the center of battle during the fight and the matter became moot for the Germans. (Note: I seem to prefer the scenarios that have open terrain, two maps and around 20-30 turns. Makes for more interest.)
