Had a splendid game with 2 British Tank Sqns with a Coy (-) of infantry and support attempting to secure a bridge from elements of 21 Pzr Div, prior to the imminent arrival of a Tiger II platoon. An initial game on Thursday had the British stopped in their tracks so we altered the points for this game. The British had approx 2,500 points and 155 BP with the Germans at 1,300 Pts, 75 BP. In the first game the initial British Bombardments had taken 25 BPs off the Germans, however the second time not so well and had taken out one of their own Staghounds. The use of Recce elements to draw out the Germans was and important factor in the British victory in game 2. With 2 players per side the rules worked well and gave a good game.
After initial bombardments the British start their advance:
