To make a long story short, it was a Major German Victory. I was able to control only the town hex #0921 but that was it. British Infantry are worth more then armor in this scenario and they are in far short supply. The British Armor are in one of the biggest numbers I have ever played with, not counting Desert scenarios but they start to wear down if you are not careful, against all the German AT guns and the few armor units. Artillery is crazy but not reliable from turn to turn. Weather and movement really hammer the British but lack of enough Infantry is the most difficult thing.

On a side note, within the Battle it’s self, I had another battle going on between a couple platoons of Tigers and a boat load of British armor. I rolled well as the British Player and believe it or not took out all four steps of Tiger I tanks at the cost of (6-steps of Firefly’s, 2-steps of Cromwell’s, 2-steps of Achilles & 3-steps of Sherman’s). This really did drain the last chance I had at any kind of victory however.

Fun game to play and a break from The Eastern Front! One more Observation, the German Morale of 9/8 is a real killer in this scenario as well.
