38th Irish Brigade are the first to hit the hill, the New Zealanders are on the other side of the hill while the Australians are on the left. The Gurkhas took a bunker on the German right. The Irish took two bunkers on the centre.
Ian begins his counter attack. 
The Australian's wait for their next set of orders
The German tanks are pushing back the Allies attack
The 51st Highland Division are in reserve with an attached armoured brigade

It was a hard fought engagement. Eventually, the only offensive unit left to charge were the 28th Maori Battalion! The remaining Commonwealth units had pounded the hill and drove off a German reinforcement attempt.
It was one of the first outright victories I have had over Ian.
The next position calls.
