Bolt Action WWI again

Brits: Mike, Mark & Nick.
Germans: Steve & Chris
Rules:  Basically BA with some house rules. The artillery is off table. The Brits have 3 batteries & the Germans 2 batteries with 6" templates.   
The British have begun their advance.  The Germans have 2 squads of infantry in reserve.  They have to nominate their arrival point 3 turns in advance.  They can come on either of the reserve trenches or from either flank.   
Most of the Brits have made it to the wire
The weak British left has been almost destroyed, but is doing it's job of  keeping germans busy while the main attack goes in on their right.
German reserves have arrived along the support trenches, but British advance continues.
2 of the tanks have crossed the ditch, but then bogged down on the main trench, but they have infantry over the ditch & ready to assault. 
On turn 6 the Brit infantry this side of the furthest tank stormed into the trench.  German counterattacks along the trench failed to dislodge them & left the Brits in control of the far flank.  The Germans conceded without doing a turn 7.

The Brit's victory condition was to have an infantry unit of least 3 men in the trenches at the end of the game was achieved so they won (with horrendous casualties all round).
