Scenario LIBE027

Played against Vince Hughes in a single session, this has the German forces defending a wide front against a tank heavy mixed arms British force with the chance of air support every other turn. We played using Vince's rule re leaders morale only effecting the hex they occupy. I chose to attack on only one board thus forcing Vince to move forces which would lead them open to air attack and OBDA. The Sherman's would hold back until the enemy ATG's were located. The tone of the game was set on the first turn when my Typhoon flight having no enemy to attack had a go at the STUG platoon lurking in reserve, one double six later and first blood to the Brits. As the RIF swept forward the 50mm ATG was found and quickly overwhelmed. The German 75 ATG had better luck as a flanking shot took out a Sherman. The damaged STUG platoon moved out and claimed another Sherman but another aircraft attack took out more STUG,s and Artillery took out the 75mm. Having reduced the A/Tank capability of the German forces the Sherman's and Firefly's moved forward destroying the remaining STUGs at this point the German commander conceded. Slightly unbalanced towards the Brits in my view however I was lucky with my rolls for aircraft this is scenario is standard PG fare.
