In this battle, a British infantry company, supported by an American Grant company, must hold off about a battalion of mixed German infantry and paratroopers. The Germans also have some AT gun support and a platoon each of PzIII and Tigers.

The Germans must capture all the hills on their half of the two-board layout, and exit 10 steps off the far edge. The Allies must stop them, and will have a full Stuart battalion with support arrive as reinforcements, to help them do it.

With the arrival of Allied reinforcements weighing heavily on the Germans mind, they aggressively attacked the two hills being held by dug in Allied troops. It did not go well. Limited Allied airpower did a banner job of hindering and killing the German infantry, along with some truly devastating opp fire. Over the course of three hours, the paratrooper company at one hill and the infantry battalion(-) at the other completely wore themselves out trying to defeat the dug in Allies. The Allied Grants took a beating from the Tiger, as did a company of Stuarts when the gamely tried to set up a Tiger crossfire, but that is about all the Allies lost.

The Germans would have probably done better with a more deliberate preparation before the assault (my most common tactical error) but they were very exposed and I'm leery of taking a pounding without being able to reply.

Major Allied victory.
