Excellent scenario. Tough for both sides and highly replayable. This is a good example of how initial decisions can almost determine the outcome of a game.

The numbers clearly reflect the desperate nature of the battle, since the Brits can be easily outnumbered locally once they are forced out of their initial positions.

An interesting game. The set-up is rather haphazard though, with numerous British units not properly placed in their foxholes.
The SS have an overwhelming numerical advantage (around 3-1), plus armour that the British lack. This one is probably meant for playing as Allies vs. AI. Not really balanced for H2H play.

Superb fighting, but the german numerical advantage is to great for it to be an even fight.

Very fun game and great challenge for the Paras. Think it's still (just) winnable as Brits, I made too many little mistakes which Raz pounced on.

Good infantry fight. Best played with the flamethrowers from the vehicle pack.
