All,
Well, we made it, the last fight of KG Klink's campaign in Greece!
The ninth fight saw Captain Freitag's 1st Schutzen Battlegroup absolutely bludgeon the weakened British Rangers/9th King's Royal Rifle Corps as they attempted a spoiling attack to buy their retreating comrades time to escape the German encirclement. It didn't work, and now we find Colonel Klink leading an assault by the Panzer Battlegroup on the lightly armed Wellington Force. A victory here for the Germans will likely see the Wellington Force destroyed and the gate shut behind the retreating Commonwealth forces.
The Germans advance aggressively, so aggressively that they allow their Engineer Platoon, still mounted in their trucks, to be ambushed by Kiwis dug in on Hill 312!
And those damned Allied 2-pdrs are on the scene, again!
As absolutely all hell breaks loose on Hill 421!
The Germans ultimately come out on top, but the ragtag, lightly armed Wellington Force sure put up a helluva fight!

I thank everyone that made it this far, I hope you enjoyed it as much I did, and we'll be coming back to KG Klink as soon as I can get some stuff painted up and some stuff re-based. In the meantime, we'll be heading over to my Cuba Libre blog for a massive, 30-fight campaign in the fictional African country of South Leon.
V/R,
