The First Counter-Attack - The Matrix Games version of West Front

The Canadian 9th Brigade was in a difficult position. Its orders were to advance along the axis Les Buissons - Buron - Authie - Franqueville - Carpiquet with a composite battle group of North Nova Scotia Highlanders, Sherbrook Fusiliers and Cameron Highlanders. Brig. Cunningham was told to keep to the axis of advance as it was hoped a British Brigade would catch up and cover their exposed left flank. As well, the guns of 14 Field Regt were held up, but again it was hoped they would soon be in range. On the other hand, since they landed, no-one had even seen a German tank! Best played as Allies, but can be pbem if you can put up with a few turns of fixed units.
