1st Platoon led by Lt. Baldric, need to push onto the Axis VPO on the Allied left whilst avoiding the StuG's. Where is the armoured support? ATR are not good enough.
2nd Platoon led by Lt. Willis need to capture the Chatau to their front, but they have just lost one of their crew and are now without their mortar. This is in the Allied centre.
3rd Platoon led by Lt. Boo need to push onto the axis VPO north of the gully and mop up the melee they are involved in.
Lt Willis, shamefully failed to rally, so 2nd platoon will struggle to activate fully this turn.
Platoon 3 continued their advance, but a 81mm mtr was activated in the woods adjacent to the VPO, this fired, maintained rate and broke the Britsh squad. Another squad pushed forward to engage the mortar with fire.
Platoon 2 is starting to pull back to reform.
Platoon 1 began its attack on the VPO location and moved away from the StuG's to their rear.
The 81mm mortar continues to rain fire and destruction through the woods and the squad is CR.
Lt. Boo and the other squad joined the melee which finished with the German squad being eliminated. The conscript facing platoon 1 was KIA by a 12Fp +1 shot in the AFPh. the VPO falling into British hands during the advance.
End of Allied turn 6. Going well for platoon 1 and 3, but platoon 2 is halted and taken a Hs and crew as lost.
Good session this evening. Now to watch some old Jon Pertwee Doctor Who. what geeks we are!
