Interesting battle with changing situations and good challenges for both sides. German player should stick with this, even when the first part of the battle is quite frustrating .. it can get better / will be more even in the later stages.

Unit design is very odd at times, especially for the German side.
Aside from this, a very unique and entertaining scenario!

In my opinion both sides have their chances. If the British player uses his strenghts correctly, the Germans have a very hard time, I believe.

Could use some minor map tweaks relating to the arrival area of certain reinforcement groups.

Interesting scenario, really enjoyed it and was great H2H

zinzan1963 was my playing partner and we had a really good fight. This was a SOT play and I would rate this one a good scenario to try out.

I really thought I had this as the Axis but my opponent managed to keep one guy alive in one of my objectives and I believe that is why had a draw. Fun game. Lots of back and forth.
