I deployed all my troops to attack towards at single objective in the right quarter. Jesper trainer Panther got stuck the woods a lot, even though equipped with widetracks. Placed between the M10 and Challenger they got easily destroyed. 

My 2 recon units worked overtime lifting gone to the ground and I was able to clear the objective. Jespers scattered reserves didn’t help him arriving in the opposite corner.

5-4



Game 2: 

Micheals Grenadiers



Played surrounded for the first time. I didn’t concentrate and deployed all wrong and forgot my place M10s. I split my force in 2, I should have made a single push from the river side of the board.

Did try for a long time to grab a single point but failed.

1-6
