This game took the better part of two weeks to play. The planning was the hardest part, and the British plan did not go well. The British OBA and air performed lackluster, given their higher numbers. German air and OBA did well in proportion. The British tried to economize CPs to allow both day and night attacks in Days 1 and 2. These diluted attacks beat the Germans up some, but the British suffered heavily for modest gains. The 1st BN of both the 25th/26th SS PG Regts were ravaged, but held. A German night attack (day 2) with fresh BNs erased most of the British gains. Day 3 the British attack with 3 infantry and 2 armor BNs and take Marcelet, but not Cheux. The German composite BN arrives that night and chews the worn down Brits to pieces. Day 4 sees another British move with 3 Infantry and two armor BNs. The German barely hold a horseshoe around Cheux, both sides consolidate depleted units at night. Day 4. The Germans deploy what’s left across the board. The Germans can put together less than 1 SS PG regiment, with the Wehrmacht units all consolidated in to 1 kampfgruppe. The British can muster 4 understrength infantry BNs and less than a BN of armor. The Brits throw it all in to a daylight attack and still fail to capture Cheux. The Germans counterattack the last night battle and retake Marcelet! Massive german win.
