Panzer Vor

The Pz IVs of 4 Kp advance along the track next to the RR cut. They were easily spotted by the infantry that was dug in around the road that went down through the cut. The troops on contour 100 also saw the advance and were trying to get some artillery up.

Lead elements of the attack The Pz IVs lead a road column and grenadiers move along the RR cut. The beige cards are the blinds that they are moving on.

Best chance of the game Two of the M5s have a nice shot on the side of the Pz IVs. Four shots and not one penetrating hit. Now they are going to get some pay back.

Should I stay or should I go now? Fight or flee? They have a really good chance of taking out the panzers from the side. And there are no AT units around here.

As all the action seems to be directed along the track and RR, this has created a stream of fire that is hard to move against. One of the Grenadier squads moved across the hedge to fire on the platoon leader's squad, the PIAT team and the 2" mortar team.

The action goes on The M5 on the road takes a couple more rounds from the panzer. It is now immobilzed with a jammed turret and no crew. The blinds at the bottom are a couple of Humber scout cars looking for an escape route.

Panzers to the front again Braving the last of four PIAT shots (no damage from any) the Pz IV moves up to the intersection. It looks like there is little left to do but run and hide for the Brits.

End of game

With no real AT left to stop the panzers and their position overrun, the Monmouths start to pull out. With average luck at least two of the panzers should have been KO'ed, but every shot was a miss or did no damage. The Grenadiers did take losses though and one of their platoons is in a bad way. The remaining M5 is pulling back south to the main village of Mouen (where the attacking Germans have Panthers). All in all, a decisive win for the Krauts.
