I had the British forces move to and defend the eastern portion of Board 57 by taking the hills and village. the intent was to fight hard for the Village to keep the Germans from getting the Village VC. I conceded the north village on Board 56 thinking it would spread the British force out to try to get I. When the time was right, mounted infantry on Shermans would dash for the East Board edge using the falling darkness as cover.

I played the Germans aggressively moving out to capture the villages while leaving the Marders, ATGs and some scattered infantry to stop any British attempt to get off board.

The Germans fought for an took the NE Hill to use that as a base of fire for the attack on the east village of Bd 57. But their attack on the Village was stopped by combined direct and indirect fires from the British. As dusk started to fall, the British moved out with tank mounted infantry across the North edge to get off the board. Starshells popped up and direct and indirect fire hurt much of the British mounted infantry (I had some issues with the Bombardment and morale rules against tank riders)but the tanks pressed on only to be finally hammered by cross fire from ATGs and one remaining Marder platoon. The Germans won on Turn 17 after achieving two VCs: stopping the British form getting ten steps off the board and killing more 10 or more British Steps.

I liked this scenario, there are many courses of action each side could take to win.
