Canadian Dragoons vs Puma's Cauldron

So a rematch, the much maligned Canadian Recon re-enter the fray. Once again against the evil Hangfire. We decided upon Worcester - and rolled Cauldron. The Germans had advanced but were stretched too far, the Recon trap was set!

TURN 3 SUMMARY

Canadian Recon: More reserves hit the field (Stag's and AAA). The artillery again hit home, and the Shermans and 2IC opened fire on the howitzers. The Stage 3's and remainign Canadian infantry carge in but at a heavy cost of only one MG team surviving. But the remaing AAA died German panzergreadier: The Nebs remained pinned and the hoitzers failed to range in, with only the AAA remounting and destroying 2 scout cars and their occupants the Puma HQ attempted to damage a sherman

TURN 4

COMBAT CASUALTY SUMMARY
Canadian Recon	German panzergreadier

TURN 4 SUMMARY

Canadian Recon: The Canadians recieved their last reserves, and the 2IC led their forces into combat. The Germans lost all hope with their commander lost; their roving Pumas lost in the welsh border and forces here routed German panzergreadier: With still no reserves it looked dire the HQ tried to slow the allied advance and the howitzers and nebs remaind pinned

So it all finished after turn 4, all Hangfires platoons dead and the Canadians holding the field. Hangfire had some awfull luck and kept forgetting his storm trooper moves. My Canadians performed well, hitting the right bits in the right place (over loading a flank helped!) But with on loses a 6-1 win
