Scenario BlSS015

Played solo in two sessions, this scenario has a battalion (+) of GREN well supported by AFV including TIGER's attacking British RIF supported by SHERMAN who are dug in on a hill protecting the approaches to Pavee. The British set up was designed to force the German's to spend at least half of the 18 turns available getting into position to launch any assault (no forward defense this time but a line of dug outs on the ridge line with tanks and on board MTR to the rear. The German commander launched a left flank attack using the extensive fields as cover, with a smaller attack in the right although the Tiger,s were in the support of this assault. The assault hit heavy Brit OBDA and right from GT1 were taking minor casualties, 2 x JgPath platoons did have some success in luring some rather rash Sherman's into a gun duel which left the Sherman's destroyed for the loss of 1 JgPath. As the German right flank engaged the British forces in the town on the lower hill it was apparent that Pavee would be a very tough nut to crack indeed. German losses were heavy and after several hours fighting only a small part of the town had been taken (1 Hex). The German left flank attack fared no better as accurate British RIF fire disrupted the German commander's attempt to get a fire base from which to launch an attack. Once again after several hours of fighting only marginal gains had been made. A final desperate assault was made but was poorly coordinated (The Brits won the initiative by 3) and the ACHILLIE's avenged the earlier defeat by eliminating the remaining JgPath's for no loss and WPN fire then took out the accompanying GREN & ENG units. With only 30 mins of light left, the German commander called off the attack and retired hurt. This is a real toughie for the SS as the Brits have good morale, OBDA, Aircraft and an excellent defensive position to work with still with lots of different units to play with its good solid entertaining PG fare
