In our series of Skype games around the German 9th SS, one more Normandy scenario where the SS attack against the British. This one I have played before in a solo effort, but in this game the Germans were able to take the day. The 9th SS is attacking the Welsh Guards holding Montchamp. My setup had the British deployed in the towns with the WPN's and RIFs facing the advancing Germans and hoping to disrupt the attack before they can close on town and assault. The Germans were deployed to the north east edge and initially moved on toward the town. Early OBA and OP by the British stunned so of the advancing Germans and two RIF platoons were deployed to northern wooded hill to disrupt any advance through the woods. British fire was accurate, but the SS morale was stronger. Some demoralized and disrupted but the recovered quickly and continue there advance on the town.

The first German assault began on hex 610, with both sides scoring morale checks that they easily passed. But the German massed behind the assault and forced the brave Welshmen to move out of the assault to try to buy time for the defense. The Germans kept on advancing and eventually they closed on the British. Their OP fire and OBA slacked and the Germans were able to score hits on the British. So the open southern side of the town was overwhelmed with SS as well as they pushing from the north and east. By turn 7 the Germans had controlled or contested 75% of the town and the British casualties were mounting.

In the end the Germans were able to get a Major victory and pushed the British out of Montchamps.
