Scenario	POCH001

The Brits have to take the farm, caused casualties and get on to the road to the north and if possible exit infantry and the 1/2 tanks platoon. They have a reinforced infantry company to do this with.

The plans was to move the infantry up and have the mortar support by direct lay fire into the town while the AFVs move north to slow down the German reinforcements. This worked well as the infantry force got lucky and wiped out the German half strength parachute platoon in the farm. The Matilda's and Bren carrier went north to delay the Germans and gained some time doing so by falling back each time the Germans closed. Finally, the Germans assault the town but their suppressing fire was ineffective and the Brits managed to keep enough of the Germans disrupted or demoralized to prevent and assault. The Brits did move forward some infantry and the Bren carriers to assault the enemy mortar platoon and gain the road victory conditions.

A fun quick scenario to play but it is a somewhat dicey.
