Game 4 - the allies kicked their tanks into gear and attacked up the eastern most road. And the irish guards rifle company commanded by Tom and supported by 2 sherman platoons detached from XXX corps operations. In the way was a panther company commanded by Jim.
The battle for the road raged for 8 turns, but late arriving reserves for the Germans allowed the British infantry to take several houses, and heavy artillery bombardments caused havoc on the German forces there.
6-1 To the allies, who also destroyed an 88 in the German retreat.

The Updated Situation: 4 Games down in Turn 2, with 5 days to go in the turn. Since I'm at a wedding, I'll be abdicating my role as supreme allied commander. George will be popping in Friday, (or early Saturday) to do the airborne supply drops, and move forces around. Unless we get a few more games in this campaign turn, I'm going to advocate running a generals game for a portion of the turn, to get in a good number of fighting moves. Inactivity plays heavily in favor of the Germans. I think 8 or 9 is a good minimum on battles to set overall, but we can roll off. To those who have gotten in some games thanks for jumping in! Jim needs someone to fight other than me, so I'm hoping we get Grady and Greg in on some games. Shane and Wes also did an offsite one, which was great. I understand Shane has a new place and is working on a wargaming table...I still have fond memories of the last mega battle we played. The Next Campaign Round will run from August 6th (Saturday) to August 19th (A Friday) and for once, I don't have a wedding on a weekend! I am free August 13 and 14th. We should try to get a group of folks together to play a few games at once if there are people free. If you have any more results from off site games, or if you pop into hobbytown to fight a campaign game, post it here, and I'll update the map ASAP. Thanks everyone!

Looked like you guys were fighting one heck of a battle today, Tom! I'd love to host a mega battle at my place, or even just some regular games - the new table should be up and running in the next couple of weeks!
