Setup:
The germans were defending, the Tiger held the left flank.

The sniper was in the house with the 1st Lt Behind

A mortar squad and infantry squad of 8 men were also in command distance.

The bombardment distributed alot of pins and killed the snipers assistant and pretty much pinned the sniper out of the game.

The british spotter quickly calls in a barrage for the pack howitzer which wipes out the german mortar.

Turn 5:
The tiger shoots from one bridge at the jeep on the other bridge, they try to recce away but the range is to long so they can only get behind the bocage and hope....the Tiger misses!
Afbeelding

Three british squads leave the table for 9 points.
With 4 german units dead thats 13 VP's
The brits have lost 5 squads so only 10 VP's
Time was up so the brits narrowly won.

Lessons learnt:
Against inf tigers are no more scary than pz Iv but it could have been worse if it hit more.
5 man squads give alot of dice but are very flimsy.
Medics are not much use for the same points i can take a 2nd recce jeep. Placed order fo one after game!
