Overview:

During Operation Totalize, Worthington Force with B, C and HQ companies of the Algonquin Regiment supporting 52 tanks from the British Columbia Regiment, bumped into the rear of Halfpenny Force fighting the SS in Bretteville-le-Rabet, went round them and got lost. When dawn broke on 9 August, Worthington Force was 4.5 mi (7.2 km) to the east of Hill 195 at Hill 140, halfway between Estrees-la-Campagne and Mazieres. They held their ground against German armoured counter-attacks during 9 August but suffered many casualties, including most of their tanks. By 17.00 hours what remained of Worthington Force had either been captured or forced to withdraw. Because the column was so far from its intended objective, other units sent to relieve it could not find it.
Attacker: German (SS) (Elements of KG Krauss and KG Waldmuller, 12.SS-Panzer Division "Hitlerjugend")

2018-10-01(A) Jeff B vs Elmo Menon Canadian winThis situation is very difficult for the Germans. Probably the most difficult task is balancing keeping one tank in good order versus using them in full assault mode. I lost one on the opening turn to the Firefly and soon after MALF'd the MA on another. That knocked me down to two and that all but sealed the deal. The rest of the game was just seeing how far I could get. I approached from the southeast and swept my way across the first hill, but there were just too many Canadians left and still one tank. In retrospect I should never have even tried to take the second hill, just cover all the Level 3 hexes with firepower and have a shootout. Not one of my favorite scenarios.
