*This was a quick playing scenario but I really had to think hard about how to setup the Germans and how to bring the British on the north edge of the map as well. I placed my Tigers and some supporting Infantry forward of the village Chenedolle in the woods and a small town hex just south of the east-west road and the rest of the German forces in Chanedolle with on mortar in the hill adjacent. The British would now have to go around the forest on the Germans left and as they were pretty much covered everywhere else.

*The British had to fight their way dismounted from their halftracks and the British armor waited for their brother Sherman tank reinforcements to arrive before they took on the Tigers, which really blocked their path. Once this happened, all the Sherman’s including the Firefly charged forward hoping to activate first next turn as the Germans had already fire their steel beasts. But with all good plans, things didn’t go as planned and the Germans activated first and pretty much shot up the spread out Sherman tank column before they could apply that cross-fire modifier.

*From here on, nothing went the British way, not the dice rolls for sure! The only highlight was taking out one step of German Infantry in an assault. Once the British armor was pretty much taken care of, the German Tigers rejoined their Infantry to help them out with some trouble spots of British Infantry and to blow up a few more halftracks. This was a German victory, no doubt about it.
