Overview:
The brigadiers commanding 69th Infantry and the supporting 8th Armoured Brigades had accompanied B Squadron of the Dragoons Guards up Hill 102, south of Cristot. Opposition was light, but infantry would be needed to secure the position. The Green Howards were summoned, and looked with dismay at the difficult country they would have to cross. At least only slight opposition was anticipated. Unbeknown to the Green Howards or their brigadiers the Hitlerjugend Division appreciated the value of the hill and, following the British recce, slipped reinforcements into the position.Attacker: British (D Company, 6th Green Howards / B Squadron, 4/7th Royal Dragoon Guards)
Defender: German (SS) (SS-Panzerdivision 12 / SS-Panzerregiment 12)

| 2024-06-23 | (A) Vic Lauterbach | vs | JM | British win | I drew the attacking British in this rainy bocage fight. Turn 1 ended on a low note when Jim successfully used ESB for both Panthers, passed two bocage crossing bog checks and brewed up a Sherman V(a) with a TH DR3 75LL AFPh shot! Turn 1 wasn't too bad. My infantry found the hidden 50L, but the Firefly broke its MA on its first shot at a HD Panther behind bocage! I decided to move the tanks in Turn 3, but the HD Firefly was brewed up by Jim's sharp-shooting Panther when it started up. I broke the 50L crew. The rain wasn't a factor as very little firing occurred at >7-hex range. The Panthers slaughtered my Shermans, but my infantry held up and reached the L6 and F2 hills. I threw two MMC at L6 to occupy Jim's infantry (they were both broken and routed away), and three 457s, the 9-1 and the Hero at E2-F2. I advanced wounded Hero Hollis into CC with the Panther C to prevent it from firing at the 457 w/PIAT in F2. It came down to that 457 surviving an OVR which it did for a squeaker of a win. Jim: Bocage fights are always tense and the difficulty moving any distance is frustrating but they're also generally great games as this one was. I should have been move aggressive with the second Panther in the last two turns and closed on the 457s approaching hill E2. That and a broken CMG cost me. Well played and as close as a game could get! | ||
