Turn 3. UK – US – GE
UK – Cromwell explodes damaged PzIV G; Humber kills MG-42

Turn 5. US – GE – UK
US – M4A3 destroys PzIV F2
GE – PzIV F2 destroys M4A3
UK – Advance!

Turn 6. GE – US – UK
GE – 2 Fallschirmjaegers airdrop on an distant possible objective: it’s a bluff to get allied units off the real objective! Fortress close assault Cromwell with 5 dice = 5 success! – Cromwell damaged
US – M4A1 kills Haupstürmfuhrer
UK – Cromwell kills Fortress Defender

Turn 7. UK – US – GE
UK – Bren MG kills Fallschirmjaeger; Humber disrupts other Fallschirmjaeger
US – Stays on position
GE – Fallsch. disrupts Bren MG

End of turn 7. Secret lab location is revealed (#2 – top center). Us and UK agree to split the victory (it is well past midnight and we all work tomorrow!). At the end, I only had one disrupted Fallschirmjaeger left! It was pretty hard to fight on two fronts. I should have consolidated all my forces together instead of splitting them in two groups. I wasted points taking an Me262 since no other planes were deployed and each side had a pretty strong AA unit (UK – eternal Bofors; US – M16 Halftrack with its double shot).

I have to say that the dice god was not with me tonight and was definitely supporting my enemies! :-) See picture below to understand what I’m talking about. That was my kind of dice rolling (except for one shot on the Croc by the PzIV F2).
