This scenario has a South African Infantry Brigade supported by New Zealand light tanks and INF attacking a mixed Axis force behind a A/T Ditch and in strong fortifications.
Dusk is about to fall as the Commonwealth troops begin their attack in three separate waves the first at the Northern end of the enemy line the other two towards the centre after the first attack had drawn in enemy reserves. As night fell a part of the A/T ditch had been filled in and the New Zealand armour made its way to the front. Losses had been fairly low up to now but in the confusion of night fighting these soon mounted for both side.
The Northern attack had now been repulsed freeing a German INF company to move southwards to deal with the threatened break through in the centre. Here Italian gunners firing over open sight had delayed the supporting South African INF/HMG units just long enough for the Axis units to be able to seal the breach in their lines.
The VC are tough for the South African troops trying to amass 40 steps worth of undemoralized units East of the MLR is hard specially with the South Africans fairly brittle morale. However a solid scenario with a nice mix of nationalities and units to use.
