Overview:

Within the framework of Operation Spring, the Black Watch received the command to seize May-Sur-Orne where the Calgary Highlanders had just suffered a bloody failure. The attack started badly. The gathering zone located at St. Martin was not secure and during the mopping up operation, the Black Watch lost its leader, Colonel Canthe. The command fell to Major Griffin who, while waiting for the design of a new attack plan, sent six men and a sergeant on reconnaissance. Upon its return, the patrol stated that they did not meet any Germans. The capture of the village being considered essential, Major Griffin then decided to go right at May-Sur-Orne. And went right into a true flood of fire from camouflaged SS in the village.
Attacker: Canadian (Black Watch, 2nd Canadian Infantry Division)

I launched an unimaginative attack along my right flank. None of my mortars had smoke which made the first two turns advance painful. I lost two leaders early which put the others on rally duty for the rest of the game. I ended with three buildings and toe holds in two others, but ran out of units. High point for me was generating 5 heroes. The low point was seemingly not being able to pass morale checks. The German sniper was on fire all game.
2013-10-18(D) Ian Willey vs Jon Canadian winRoar has this as equal with a lot of plays. Our game was quite one sided though due to poor tactical choices and the inability to hit a barn door all on my part. Was fun but would have been a lot more if a few more dice bounced my way
