The panthers coming in from the west side of the board slowed down to exchange shots with AT guns and Churchills that were set up on the west end of the British defense. In hindsight, I probably should have kept them moving north for an end run around most of the British AT but the two that did go ended up being destroyed in the bocage as they tried to approach the town of Cheux from the west. With a stack of 3 British infantry and a 10-0-1 leader, I gave one platoon the Piat shot and just assaulted with the others. Piat took out a step and the others took out 2 more. This after the Panthers had lost a step to AT fire from turn 1 and 2 when they exchanged fire with the Churchill and a 6lber that got in a lucky shot. The SS tanks and infantry attempted to skirt the British to the east of the positions, and both sides had little effective artillery support. Even when they got it, the fire dice rolled 6 and 7 very consistently. In the end, Germans had lost 19 steps and British had lost 7, with Germans only barely contesting one of the 3 town hexes needed and missing the 10 steps needed for a step loss victory. Great game, and this solo play helped me sort out how I might change things in face-to-face play.
