The battle of the tiny trees.
This is on the north edge of the map (see earlier post for full map)
Arnhem is a few hexes from the bottom of the image.
Simon was horrified to find he did not have enough tiny trees to fill the table.
We would have to use our imaginations.
Arnhem (and the drop zone) is off to the left of the image.
This is my command, 2nd Battalion Kampfgruppe "Von Tettau".
Mark Woods commanded the 1st Battalion.
Brad commanded the paratroops who were somewhere in the woods
Found them!
But they pull back.
We advance, attempting to work around their flanks and cut them off from the drop zone.
The full weight of Kampfgruppe "Von Tettau" now comes into force
and we have them almost surrounded.
But it was not to be, they find a gap in our lines and beat a speedy withdraw.
However we inflicted serious damage.
The paras were reduced from 11 platoons to just 3.
German losses were light with each battalion losing just one platoon.
A very exciting game, well constructed and umpired by Simon.
The final battle in Turn 1 is for Arnhem itself.
