This scenario gives the German 90th Light Division an ardous task: to exit 20 steps off the north edge of map 5 starting from anywhere on map 4 below it and to eliminate 10 British steps in the process. The British win if the Germans do not and if they also eliminate 10 German steps. The British have a ton of Grant and Stuart tanks; Bren carriers; available OBA of 4 x 13; a decent amount of foot units along with one aircraft drawn each turn to wreak havoc on the German forces with. The Germans have a lot of foot units but just a few SPW251s for armoured transport and have to rely on one unit of 88mm AA guns and four units of 50mm AT guns to keep British armour at distance while attempting to somehow make a breakthrough.

Of course the British are able to enter the northern map from the east with the benefit of the road to attempt to block German units from making it past the southern hill area and have enough time to get their tanks and carriers off the road and towards the northwest edge where though still in range of the AT weapons, the firepower is reduced. British Foot units divided up; a small detachment stayed at the road, blocking any German transport while a larger force attacked the hill, getting close enough to spot for OBA against the 88 and 50mms. Early on, the German were able to eliminate a Stuart, a Grant and two steps of Bren carriers but soon enough; with the deadly combination of British OBA and aircraft all German AT capable weapons were taken out. And without AT weapons there was nothing stopping overwhelming numbers of British armour from both encircling and utterly devastating German foot units. I did not know how to protect these valuable AT weapons. Even once moving them out of sight of British leaders, on the other side of the hill, they could not be protected from British airpower; especially when the Hurricane II was drawn quite a few times. So once the 88 and 50mms were gone I knew it was over but played out the scenario until turn 29 of 44 when at that point there were only 18 German steps left on the map and very few of those in good order. At that point with less than 20 German steps remaining it was an unshakable British win. In fact, not one German unit had been able to escape off the north edge at all by turn 29.

I still give this scenario a '3' rating because there has to be some way for the Germans to win it but I just didn't have it in me. Keeping the German AA and AT guns in good order or intact is crucial but there is only so little space to hide and even then there are no safe spaces from aircraft. So with a potential 44 turns it's only a matter of time before those valuable guns are eliminated. No matter what I did with the remaining German foot units, whether keeping them together or scattering the they just kept getting chased down and decimated. I think this would make make a great challenge for a seasoned, veteran axis player but not an impossible German win.
