Scenario BeNo001

The game started off badly for the Germans loosing their offboard arty due to an event (how could I know that they wouldn't need it at all to win this scenario..). Onward the two- pronged British attack went, down the hill and into the valley. The 2nd Glasgow sustained heavy losses (15 steps) but managed to capture St. Mauvieu and La Gaule by noon. In the meantime the 9th Camorian took the western approach hindred more by terrain then by enemy fire. By the time they reached the 120 platform west of Cheux it was already 12:30 and way too late to reach all goals. The coming of the 7th Seaforth Highlanders straight down the middle wasn' t much help, because the 12th SS Pioneer put up a stiff fight in which they just refused to retreat on Cheux. Notably the 81mm and the 75mm ATG and their leaders were candidates for some Iron Crosses. Major German victory, no doubt. There was no way the Brits could've taken all town hexes before 14:00.

If the scenario weren't so unbalanced it could be rated a 4.

This scenario needs a thorough preparation for the Brits that's for sure, but even then I doubt the Brits will be able to win this one.
