The SS forces set up in a thin line in front of the objective town with the AT guns in the north and the Pz IVH to the south. Each of these positions is supported by an INF or HMG platoon. The British enter with the Churchill VII platoons and the main force of HMG’s and INF along the northern road. A supporting force of two companies of INF proceed along the southern road to confront the Pz IVH and flank the AT gun positions. For several turns, no combat occurs as the British approach the SS positions. On turn 4, the British close to within firing range. The center British force spreads out and begins to trade fire with the center SS 75mm AT gun and supporting force. The southern British force rushes in adjacent to the Pz IVH and INF platoon. On turn 6, the Pz IVH and INF are unable to break the adjacent British force, but the British score a 2X results and eliminate the SS INF platoon. Meanwhile, no casualties occur in the center. The Pz IVH leaves its southern position before the British assault, but the British companies follow. The northern SS position moves down to flank the center British force. The Center SS AT gun eliminates a step of Churchill VII’s, but then another Churchill VII eliminates a step of the Pz IVH. The SS center and northern forces continue to trade fire with the center British force, as the southern two British companies circle the Germans and enter the town. The northern German force assaults an adjacent British force, eliminating three steps. The southern British force clears the town and heads towards the rear of the SS AT positions. Overwhelming British numbers eventually eliminate the northern SS positions, and British forces set up a defensive position in the town in anticipation of the German Panther reinforcements. The Panther platoons finally enter on turn 16, but the British have a firm hold on the town, and only one platoon of SS INF remains from the original blocking forces. The Panthers eliminate some Churchill’s over the next several turns, but are unable to push the British from the town prior to the end of the game. Final result is a draw.
