Overview:

When the hammer finally fell on the 1st Borders, it came in the form of heavy attacks on all four companies. By far the most damaging attack was launched on B Company along the Rhine. Taking heavy casualties, B Company was driven from the Westerbouwing heights above the river, but B Company commander Major Armstrong was not yet ready to quit. First he re-organized the survivors of 11, 13 and 14 Platoons to quickly counter the Germans before they could settle in. Putting 12 Platoon into a blocking position at the crossroads, the plan was to proceed straight for the restaurant. The men were game, but the Germans were ready.
Attacker: British (B Company, 1st Battalion, the Border Regiment, 1st Airlanding Brigade)

2015-01-14(A) Paolo Cariolato vs Luca Marcolungo German winsmall scenario, good for a filler, the british side need some finesse in order to traverse the open space, and bring the mortars up the hill for the final assault to the hotel. For the German is just skulk and keep concelment.
