DEPLOYMENT SUMMARY

Scott's Desert Rats: The train track embankment more or less splits the board for me, as we played it impassable to tanks. I put one CW squad on each side. Al's 91st Dismounted Cav: 155s and 105s split on each side of the embankment. Boots line up the board.

TURN 1

Right flank Cromwells move up

Left flank Cromwells move up

COMBAT CASUALTY SUMMARY
Scott's Desert Rats	Al's 91st Dismounted Cav 1x Dismounted boots team

TURN 1 SUMMARY

Scott's Desert Rats: Cromwells move up on both flanks. MG fire kills a single dismounted boots stand. Al's 91st Dismounted Cav: Arty funs all direct fire, as they did for most of the game. I never really gave Al more than one tank under the template, so I guess this was the best plan, but I did have a 3+/4+ save from them. 105s bail a firefly.

TURN 2

Firefly REALLY dosnt want to get back in! (CiC reroll)

Cromwells take out two 105s

Right flank Cromwells take out a single 155

155s direct fire kill the right flank firefly

TURN 2 SUMMARY

Scott's Desert Rats: Cromwells unload semi-indrect fire into gun teams. Kill two 105s, one 155, and a HMG nest. Al's 91st Dismounted Cav: 155s kill one firefly.

TURN 3

Rigth flank kills a second 155

Feeling confortable on this side of the barbed wire, some Cromwells move up to MG some infantry.

TURN 6

After assaulting and breaking off, the Cromwells move back to the edge

Maybe this isn't such a great idea....

Al's chem mortars and one short engineer squad come in on this corner

Scott's Desert Rats 1x Firefly and 1x Cromwell from right flank cromwells	Al's 91st Dismounted Cav 2x Dismounted boots team 3x 105s 2x 155 1x HMG nest

TURN 6 SUMMARY

Scott's Desert Rats: Cromwells assault and kill off the last 105, although the command and staff teams survive, being far away from the action. The Cromwells breakthrough into the large boots squad, kill a single stand, and end up breaking off after one round. Right flank Cromwells assault the bazookas in the building out of boredom, and are quickly taught their lesson. Al's 91st Dismounted Cav: Some of Al's stuff came in on the left flank corner, including a small platoon of Engineers, but they failed the tank terror to assault the flanks of Cromwells.

TURN 7

Stuarts being an awesome assault unit apparently.
