For those who may be interested it was the return of my Paras from R&R to face Liam's Germans. I was hoping to have my 6 mortars ready but alas they were only half done.
Zee Germans had 2 infantry platoons with anti tank, 3 Stugs, HMG platoon, Mortar team & 2 snipers
The plucky Brits had 2 para platoons, 2 Sherman's & a Firefly, 3 extra Piats and a sniper.
Needless to say that without any high ground for his mortars and with plenty of bocage, walls and a church to hide behind, my paras had a better chance this time.
The result for my Paras was as expected, my 2 Sherman's & firefly managed to take out 1 infantry and 1 mortar platoon whilst one of my other 2 para platoons took out his HMG platoon and destroyed 1 of his 3 stugs. After the loss of his HMG platoon a failed company moral check resulted in another win for the Brits. British losses were 4 piat teams, 1 infantry team with 1 sniper returned to the pool and they did not attempt to dig in, not ONCE!
Queue the Dam busters music and a wide shot of Macca standing over the table looking smug!
