During replay I see Phil's reinforcements pouring in.The Turks launched a counterattack at (20,4)wiping out 4th plt Bco. then another counterattack at (20,5) pushing Bco 2nd plt.leaving them demoralized at hex (19,6).

In the South with the 3rd New South Wales bn.
Bco.2nd plt tries to rally demoralized units from Phil's successful counterattack at (19,6)one section was rallied the plt fires at Turkish units causing no casualties. 1st and 3rd plt at (17,8)fires at Turks at 20pt obj at (18,8) not good on my part my units ended up demoralized or pinned ended up rallying them. 4th plt was wiped out during one of the Phil's counterattacks.
C co. 1st and 2nd plt.moves from (18,6) forward into the trenches to (19,6)then firing at Turks at (20,5)causing (1) casualty and pinning one unit but the return file from adjacent hexes pins or demoralizing both plts.
Aco. 2nd and 4th plts at tunnel exit hex at (17,7) fires at Turks 20pt.obj at(18,7)pinning one of the units and causing (6) casualties 1st and 3rd plt moves from tunnel exit hex at (17,6) to trench (18,6).
Dco 1st and 2nd plts move form tunnel entry hex (15,7( to exit hex(17,6)
3rd and 4th plts stay at tunnel entry hex (14,6).

In the north with the 4th New South Wales bn.
Dco 1st,2nd and 3rd plt fires from trenches at Turk unit at (16,3) pinning the unit. 4th plt remains in reserve.
Cco.4th plt tries to rally pinned units at (17,4)and fails 3rd plt at tunnel exit hex (16,4) tries to assault pinned Turkish unit at 20 pt obj.at (16,3)assault fails. 1st and 2nd plts are pinned but with no surviving leaders so they remain that way.
A co. remains at the tunnel entry hexes at (14,4)and (14,5).
Bco. still waiting to enter tunnel hexes.

My casualties to this point

11 leaders
308 men.

In Closing:

To sum up I am calling this one quits and will surrender to Phil.The key to this one is on the very 1st turn you have to capture most of the 1st line Turkish objectives I failed to do that and Phil for the most part kept me bottled up in the tunnel exit hexes and now that his reinforcements have moved into the trenches\bunkers he is firmly established in the trenches and all i'll be able to do is just inflict more heavy casualties on my troops for little or no gain im already negative one hundred and some odd points.

I hope you enjoyed my and Phil's AAR and my hats off to Phil for his victory good game.
