We were dangerously low on troops in the middle part of the map and were lucky that you didn't push harder there.

It was bit more luck than "brilliant", but I think not much of either; instead some straight forward but chaotic soldiering.

A clash between the German KF in the north and the British was inevitable. The Germans outnumbered us, and were almost on top of our northern infantry platoon; and then on my turn I witnessed some well aimed British mortar fire land in front of the British infantry. I figured the Germans must have suffered some suppression, so now maybe the only opportunity to hit them before they hit us.

It was risky, but I had several infantry sections able to move forward. I knew I was running them into SS troops at 50yds but they just had to take it on the chin so I could get to the Panther, T34 and halftracks. The Tommies took a couple of casualties.

I got some infantry up to the Panther and T34, but they had to fight their way there, were suppressed and almost out of shots. They attacked but missed the tanks, probably causing extra suppression to the crews. I brought a Cromwell forward which was missed by the T34 at 50yds (it’s only shot, probably because of suppression). The Cromwell was also buttoned up and missed several times before damaging the T34.

I now had two infantry sections suppressed and out of shots right next to the Panther and several SS sections, so I knew I had to continue to press the attack or lose them; it was an all or nothing moment. I threw Major Elliot (A coy HQ) into the scrap, another infantry section, a halftrack and two more Cromwells.

Almost all of the fighting was at 50yds and the British tanks were missing horribly, but I believe the Panther and German halftrack were KO’d by each tanks last shot. I tried to damage the SS to the point were they would flee, but just didn’t have the firepower. I had to leave Major Elliot and other units right next to routed SS troops, praying they wouldn’t rally.

It was a risky, desperate, intense firefight, that was disorganized and almost went horribly wrong. But somehow the Tommies and Royal Tank Regiment just barely won that skirmish.

Not one of my proudest firefights, and not pulled off with military precision.
