Mech War in Normandy

We did a mech war battle for old comrade Mike Chevak on a visit back to Hobart. 
Brits: Mike & Jim.  Confident Trained.  11 Cromwells, 3 Fireflies, 2 mech inf platoons, 4 bugs & off-table artillery.
Germans:  Mark & Chris. Confident Veterans.  2 Tigers, 5 Stugs, 5 MkIVs, 2 mech inf platoons, 4 med mortars, 2 Pak 40's.
Rules: Mech war house rules with card based hidden movement ( see previous blog).
Figures: 15mm.
Scenario:  BA Tank wars.  5 objectives: Railway station, bridge, village and 2 hills (at LH side of pics).
Deployment: By placing cards including decoys in zone up to 24" from own table edge. 

Situation after turn 1:
The Brits start on the near side.  They have used their artillery to smoke out the Pak 40's on the hill as 2 tank platoons storm forward on their left.  Their infantry in half tracks have moved up the road to the village and on the right of the tanks.  The rest of the Brit armour is still out of sight of the germans in the woods & behind hedges in the centre.  All their cards on the far flank are decoys.
The Germans put their Paks on the hill on their left.  Panzer grenadiers are rushing the village.  The rest are still out of sight. 

The Tigers have taken out a Cromwell, but the swarm of Brit armour is closing on them.
More Cromwells in the woods in  the centre have found the Stug platoon. 
Both sides have seized half the village.
The other Panzergrenadiers and the MkIVs are been spotted on the right where they found no opposition so are moving towards the action.

The Paks remain neutralised by smoke as the bugs move to deal with them.  
Two platoons of Cromwells & Fireflies have taken out the Tigers while the Stugs are dying in the orchard unable to find any decent dice themselves. 

With the Tigers & Stugs gone, the MkIV's have no chance against the wall of Brit armour.
The Panzergrenadiers have tried attacking in the village, but the Brits have so far held them off & are about to get massive armoured support.  

The Brits had the unbeatable combination of a good plan backed up with good dice. The German position is hopeless & they conceded the battle.
