Active Armor: Kidney ridge

Arofan hoted a game over Skype I handled the Germans while Mark had my itallians.

I used the Armor to make a flank move on Chris's British 

Initialy whe had some issues with a Sherman unit tearing into our Norther flank while the British flank guard crusaders and armored cars disrupped my flank move.  But the Royal rifles at the point of the hill were taking a pounding.  

German and Italian Artilery did manage to disrupt the Sherman unit. 

We finaly drive the Royal Rifles off and the Shermans recover but have been hit with multiple artilerty barages. To the south the German Armor begin to inflict heavy losses on the Crusaders. 

The Crusaders are diven off and the South African Armored cars are disordered and hurt badly.  German Artilerty breaks the Sherman spearhead. The 2nd Panzer Grenadiers break the Gordon Highlanders from the point of the hill.  Our Armor took disordering hits form British off board artlery hurting our chance exploiting our victory of the British armor as we send the next turn trying to reorganize.

We drive off the Armored cars and try to manuver to take a shot at the rear of the hill.  My Panzer Grenadires at the point of the hill are hanging on by thier fingernails. Either side could break at any time. 

In the final turn it come down to one good roll. The Axis had sevral shots to win but couldn't manage it finaly the 2nd Rifles managed to drive the Panzer grenadiers off the board giving the British a very narrow victory.  Lots of fun.
