I had the Canadian 2nd Division attack a Dutch town held by a German Army regular division with some Luftwaffen support battalion.
I was late in getting shots of the game. The windmill was the objective of the game. Whoever held it by the end of turn six, would be the winner.
The game began with the Canadian Recce units coming onto the table. The left flank was attacked by Shermans on turn 2 while the 7th Armor Brigade sent in a Churchill. The single British motor battalion advanced up to the windmill in an assault only to have their members cut down by crossfire from the defending Germans. Early in the game, the Germans lost their MG 34 team, and their Engineers. Their anti-tank companies held out but were then enveloped by angry Canadians.
The Panzer IV did away with the Shermans, as did the Hertzer. The Panzer IV was taken out by a 6pdr Anti-tank gun. One of the 6pdrs had been taken out by the German mortar. In this game, the Canadian mortars had been taken out early and the remaining mortar team 
A German regiment holds these houses. It took the Canadian 3 turns to capture two of the houses, but still, one company held the centre house.
The windmill was assaulted right up until turn 7. Despite the attacks by the Black Watch, the Hertzer was still in play, and a single company still held a flanking fire. With more allied armor falling to grenades, the British and Canadians withdrew.
A single universal carrier attempts to find surviving Canadians to take back to friendlier lines.
