RE: I am looking for an opponent
North
‘A’ company got a 6 pounder ATk gun into position where it could shoot at the immobilized Panther on the north road, but it only bounced shells off the front armour. Then Major Bryan and Corp Hobart close assaulted the Panther but also failed to damage it.
Centre
Lt Vale of ‘B’ company was traveling in a Lloyd carrier when they ran right into a Flammpanzer in the woods. Vale’s HQ suffered 4 casualties, and they expect to lose the carrier.
South
The remains of one of Lt Watts’ infantry sections was routed by artillery and ran into a German halftrack which finished them off. Another of Watts’ infantry sections destroyed a Brandenburger section, and Lt Swifts tank finished off the other Brandenburger section.
Artillery
German mortars continue to hit east and NE of town.
German 10.5cm is now firing counter-battery against British mortars, and is again targeting the hill that British Vickers MGs were using.
British Infantry Casualties
A Coy – Major Bryan: 11 Casualties
B Coy – Capt Baldwin: 4 Casualties (all from Lt Vale’s HQ)
C Coy – Major Tunstill: 20 Casualties (17 from Lt Watts’ platoon)
