Overview:

During the retreat in France following the collapse of the French and BEF defensive lines, a number of units became detached from their parent units. One such unit was a section of the 115th (Leicester) Army Field Regiment, commanded by Lt. Eric Loveluck. He was ordered to help hold off some light panzers that were advancing in the area of Merville. In the afternoon of May 27, he setup his battery just as the attacking German tanks stopped attacking and setup bivouac in a nearby village. Loveluck opened fire and quickly knocked out a number of tanks. The next morning, Loveluck expected a hostile German retaliation. It came with some medium tanks now added. Loveluck, spotting from a church tower, directed his guns' targets.

2013-06-12(D) Jeff T vs Jerry British winWe setup this quick tourney sized scenario and went at it. My Artillery gun quickly took out two German tanks (both of the 75s with smoke and I broke enough infantry that it was obvious after 2.5 turns that Jerry couldn't take enough buildings. Quick win for the defending British
2013-06-12(A) Jeff T vs Jerry German winThe first game was so fast, we turned it around and tried it again. This time Jerry setup his guns in the back buildings. I smoked the 9-2 / ATR hex and moved in. Jerry broke 1.5 of the 3 squads, but my tanks got good shots in and I wore him down. The final blow to the British was malf'ing a gun on a point blank shot that allowed the remaining Germant tanks to sleaze and approach point blank. German win.
