Introduction |
---|
On the left flank of the British airborne division, the 51st "Highland" Infantry Division advanced to meet the German infantry supporting the advance of 57th Panzer Corps. The Scots had ample tank support; the Germans had only a handful of aged assault guns but their commanders hoped they wouldn't need anything more. |
Conclusion |
---|
The German missileers packed a significant punch, enough to knock out even a Black Prince tank, and the ability to filter through the woods seeking flank shots against the British armor. The British pushed forward anyway thanks to sheer firepower and numbers, but the number of losses suffered shocked every level of command. |

The "Optional Values" for the Achilles---and by extension the Archer---given in an Avalanche Press Daily Content piece on the 17-Pdr Anti-Tank gun (and printed on a replacement counter sheet Download) are now the Official Ratings, published in games like Cassino '44, Grossdeutschland 1946, and Indian Unity. These are: 8-5 / 8-8 Full Strength and 4-5 / 8-8 Reduced Strength. (caryn
