1st SS Panzer counter attack from Verrier Ridge

Calgary Highlanders mortar platoon holds back Jerry. This game was where the Germans were counter attacking from Verrier Ridge.  The Canadians were holding a village

while the leftover panzers burn

This was the first action that I won for a long time. Ian's panzers had bad rolls and my mortars took out his panzergrenadiers. The Canadian troops had hidden in the Bocage shown with the pen and tissue. A group of machinegunners were in the house while the motars were hidden behind the wall.

Two Canadian battalions were held in reserve. The SS Panzers advanced towards the bocage whereby the Canadian battalion there attempted to hold out. The Canadian mortars then rained fire down on the Panzergrenadiers behind the tanks. Two battalions of Germans met their match there. The tanks then began to advance on the house and wall but were repelled by HEAT rounds from the mortars, and PIATs. The tanks were picked off one by one. Ian advanced his tanks right up to the wall and opened up.. only for his rounds to shoot high. The Canadians then rushed out with all they had and used whatever anti-tank weapons they had. All of them hit home and brewed up each tank. The Panzergrenadiers enraged by this attempted attempted to use their machinegunners to clear the house and wall but were pinned down by the large volume of fire coming from the hidden Canadians. Eventually, all the SS were hit and pinned. Those who were not killed were taken prisoner.
