@Pikey, Yellowstreak and Koji - Thanks for the game guys. It really came down to the wire, with the Airborne holding on by the skin of their teeth. Well done Koji.

Truly the SS and Fallschirmjäger outclassed the Allies with their fearless and ferocious attack taking key positions in buildings on the left flank and a thick tree line on the right flank and battered the Allied positions with constant fire. A valiant effort by Major Allison Digby Tatham-Warter to charge the Germans on the flanks with some of the bravest volunteers from A company was repelled in short order by unforgiving German assault rifle fire and a flame thrower. When the German mortars finally honed in on the building the last of the airborne were hunkering down in, and the flame thrower teams successfully bullet-dodged their way to within firing range - it appeared as though all was lost - and more so when Lt. Col. John Frost was burned to a crisp by the flame thrower. Ouch! The kiwis were too hard pressed themselves in the North to reach them in time. But thanks to the valiant cowering of the British Airborne 6-pdr anti-tank gun team - which incidentally meant they could never push their gun to actually point at any tanks - the bridge was held, and earned the artillery team the moniker 'Tought Nut'. Now if only they could earn themselves the nickname 'Nut Cracker'. Maybe next time....

"Tough nuts" indeed! Great game guys, good fun to put down so many toys at once and have a big bash. The 'double dice pull' to speed up the turns also worked well I think.

Sounds like the massive BA game was a cracker. Wish I could've stuck around till the end.

@Primarch - Thanks again for the books, started the first one, looks like I'm in for a good adventure.
