Germans (Chris): 1 Tiger, 4 MkIV, 2 truckloads of Panzergenadiers.
Brits (Nick & Jim): 2 Cromwells, 2 Shermans, 1 Firefly, 1M10, jeep with PIAT team, 2 truckloads of vets.
Tank wars scenario with 7 objectives on a 12'x6' table fought lengthwise with a turn 0 where units were deployed in a 24" deep deployment zones at their end of the table. 1,750 pts each.
The Germans at the far end have Tiger & a MkIV on the hill commanding a lot of ground, 3 MkIVs on their left & infantry in trucks on the road.
The Brits have infantry, PIAT & M10 on the left & the rest on their right.
The Panzergrens have seized the 2nd bridge. The Brits have put one infantry section in the village & the other is in the woods on the left.
The 2nd Panzergren section has moved up onto the ridge on the left to seize that objective. The M10 & Firefly are trying to pin down the Tiger firing at long range from cover. MkIV's, Shermans & Cromwells are trading blows at long range without much effect. The Panzergrens on the bridge are pinned down by fire from infantry in the village & tank mgs.
The Tiger took out the Firefly, a MkIV got a Sherman& the PIAT took out the MkIV on the left, but the infantry decided the battle. At the start of turn 7 the Germans held 4 objectives, the Brits 2 & 1 was not taken. In turn 7 both Panzergren units were charged after been worn down by fire & broken in hand to hand combat. The un-taken objective on the right was disputed by tanks of both sides so the Brits won 4 to 2.
