Bolt Action 2,500 pts

Both sides had two 1,250 point forces.
Chris's Germans faced Mark's Brits on the German right.
SteveJ's Germans faced Mitch's US on the German left.
Jim assisted Chris & umpired one flank.
Mike assisted Mitch & umpire the other flank.
The table is 10' x6'.  There are two objectives, the railway bridge & the village.  The objectives count as 3 VPs if held unopposed at the end.  Each enemy unit killed counts as 1 VP.
There was separate dice bag for each flank.  The order dice were pulled at each flank's own pace but whoever finished a turn first waited for the other side before starting the next.   Units are at liberty to engage the enemy on the other flank.  To do so they announce that they are doing so the other  flank pauses other actions until the cross flank action is resolved. 

Picture taken from the German right flank.  

The only cross flank action was between the US Sherman on their left & a Panzergrenadier unit in the woods on Chris' left.  The Sherman killed a few Panzergrenadiers but the Panzergrenadiers got their revenge by popping the Sherman with a panzerfaust.

On the near flank there was a lot of firing across no man's land before both sides rushed the objective on the last turn.  It ended up disputed with 2 Panzergrenadiers surviving with 3" of it.  On this flank the Germans lost 3 units & the Brits 4.

On the other flank the objective also ended up contested, but the Germans only lost 3 units to the US's 6. So in aggregate the Germans won 10 VPs to 6.
