I've finally managed to get a marginal victory.

I just left my infantry where they stood I did not move them once.

I gathered my half-tracks and stugs and just crossed the river north of the bridges. With smoke to keep the 17 pounder off my balls I took the capture points in 7 turns.

I really think the British Heavy Infantry (they were actually 'highland infantry' Scots) are unrealistic in this scenario. Shell'em, park next to them (5 half-tracks) and lay it on 'em. Absolutely nothing. I didn't inflict damage on a single squad. But I got them to retreat out of the victory hexes. Unbelievable. Oh yeah did I mention that each squad has 8 rounds of PIAT ammo 18 grenades (mills) and a 2in morter in their pocket. That's an awful nice weapons cache. Just ridiculous.

Enough of my whining. I got a victory after a night and a half of fighting this tiny scenario
