First contact

The Gordons start to move through the orchard with a troop of Shermans in support when they draw fire from some grenadiers in the hedge on the other side of the road. Other infantry and Shermans are moving to the left flank under blinds. The blinds at the bottom are dummies. StuGs are further back behind the grenadiers.

Moving through the field A platoon of Gordons move up through the field under the overwatch of a couple of Shermans and the Company CO and 3rd platoon and light mortars. Good target for the Jerries at the opposite end.

Tigers moving up They were waiting for something to pop up at the road crossing over the RR cut but since nothing appeared they are getting moved up closer to the action. They were spotted by the 2nd troop of Shermans.

Another Firefly brews The grenadiers fired a couple of panzerfaust at it but it was a hit from the Tiger's 88 that blew it up. The Brits and grenadiers are trading fire across the road. StuG switches its HE fire as it retreats.

Gordons closing in on remaing StuG They put a couple of PIAT rounds into the immobile StuGs just to be sure and try to catch the remaining StuG as it backs away. The grenadiers have been pretty well eliminated from this side of the table.

Last of 2nd troop The last Sherman had pulled into a gap of the hedge to hide from the oncoming Tigers. Its last two shots bounced off and the Tigers return fire was rather more effective.

Tigers Vor!

This was the end of the game. The Gordons managed to kill or drive off all the grenadiers and the StuGs while taking around 25% casualties. The Hussars were down to two Shermans hiding in the orchard on the other side of the table. But the Germans only had the two Tigers looking invincible roaming about. This was the most enjoyable game of the three. It was also the first time that Tigers got to behave like Tigers in a game that I've played (I suspect that had something to do with me not running them).
