WW II Normandy 1944 AAR

[Captain Darling]

We played a WW II game recently using Great Escape Games Iron Cross rules. We pitting British against Germans in Normandy! We choose the 'escalating battle' scenario from the rulebook.

It was a hard fought affair. Both sides started with strong infantry units supported by armour. Initially the British looked to be in the box seat and in a position to decisively defeat the Germans but the Germans fought back! On one of the flanks they took out a Sherman and the Tommies accompanying it halting the British advance there. The battle was then decided in the centre where the fighting focused on a town and its important bridge. The Germans tried their best to take the town but were defeated and the British occupied it. At this point with their armour support knocked out the Germans decided to retreat and save their infantry, a British victory!

A German PAK 38 crew were deployed and awaiting any British attempt to take the bridge! In the distance they spy a Sherman!
