The Fallschirmjägers set up on the two small hills they needed to control for on the eastern half or the board the victory conditions not knowing which one the allies were going to come for first. The front most hill seemed like the first priority for the Allies and the Semovente deployed to the rear there in hopes of ambushing the American supporting Tank Destroyers.

The British deployed in a battalion line out of range of the Fallschirmjägers intermixed with the tank destroyers of the 701st TD Battalion. The combat started with the British mortars and the light OBA trying to soften up the Fallschirmjäger on the hill.

Once it became clear that the Surreys were going to attempt to overrun the hill in short order, the Semovente moved up the hill to support them.

The next turn was more or less a disaster for the Hermann Göring kampfgruppe as the American tank destroyers both malfunctioned and were became useful knocking out the Semovente to the astonished cheering of the Surreys who were moving to assault the Fallschirmjäger in their foxholes.

After a fusilade the Surreys charged the Fallschirmjäger and took them under close combat. Over the next half-hour the Germans lost more and more moral throws and were forced to retreat in disorder, in most cases not recovering before exiting the board.

As the first hill cleared, the same technique was applied to the second hill where the Germans put up a good struggle, but one by one, their units broke and the hill was left in the good hands of the Surreys who lost two steps and a bevy of Bren carriers.

Got to use an Me210for the first time as support. Snore. Very light scenario with the Germans being just a little under strength to make it balanced.
