La Mesnil Frementel, South East of Caen: July 18th 1944 (Scenario Size: Battalion+. Human vs AI Human vs AI for either side or Head to Head) The 3rd Royal Tank Regiment had fought virtually cut off from the rest of 11th Armoured Division when they passed under the railway embankment to the west. Now their Commanding Office decided to maintain the momentum of his group. They had a brief respite while they reorganized and then charged to the south towards the Bourguébus Ridge. The German defence by this time was ready and, ominously, the arriving units from 1st SS PzD started to appear.

The actual Allied Commander over extended himself and that is what you have too work with vs Axis Panthers on a hill. The terrain favors the Axis. The delayed arrival of the Panthers can be the lucky break the Allies need to draw or win. Nice scenario for quick mirror games.
