All,
The Brits have fought their way deep into the village of Eterville, and the Germans are determined to do something about it. Captain Rolfbertsen and his 2iC, Lieutenant Eichtoriel have been ordered to prepare and lead their unit, the 3rd Company, 457th PanzerGrenadier Abteilung Sauer und Krauthammer, in a counterattack supported by armor, in order to evict the British. C Company of the 5th Westchesterfords North Riding Rangers of the Highland Coldshire Guards (5th WNRRHCG), under Major Lemmuel and his 2iC, Lieutenant Boggler, stand in their way.
In real life it's 10 July 1944, and it's elements of the 9th Battalion, Cameronian Regiment (or at least that's how I'm reading 9/Cameronians), 45th Infantry Brigade, 15th Scottish Infantry Division vs a hastily thrown together battle group of panzergrenadiers and armor from the 12th SS Panzer Division. In real life the Germans launched a hasty attack into a fluid situation and soon lost momentum among the hedges and buildings of Eterville.
It's a knife fight in the village of Eterville! A British Sherman (bottom left) fires on a German Stug III (top center). A Sdkfz 251 burns next to the Stug, while German infantry are in the building at top right and British infantry are in the building at top left, with another Skdfz 251 (top left) beside them. To see how the fight went, please check the blog at:
linkMan, these fights have been awesome!!! The boy won, but I still had a great time, even though he took two of three games from me this past weekend. It's been a blast, and I can't wait until next weekend to get some more fights in. More to come!
V/R,
