Overview:

Hill 112 had a commanding view over the area south of Caen and attracted the best units of both combatants. On July 10th, a British combined tank and infantry force had wrested the hill from its SS defenders. That same evening, the hill was subjected to an intense bombardment, then a sharp counterattack by SS-panzergrenadiers. The British were able to drive back the SS with pointblank fire. With daylight, Tiger tanks joined the fray. The weary defenders quickly discovered that their hellish nightmare was not yet over. . .
Attacker: German (SS) (SS-Panzer Division 9 / SS-Panzer Division 10 / Kompanie 1, Schwere SS-Panzer Abteilung 102)

2023-12-20(D) Richard Jenulis vs Brent Morris British winThe Germans lost two Tigers on turn 1. That put them behind the eight-ball from the start. When the OBA came down the Germans fate was sealed.
2023-08-13(A) Todd Cox vs In progressJust didn't enjoy this one at all.
2021-07-21(A) Dwayne Duval vs Kevin Duval German (SS) win
2021-07-17(D) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne Duval German (SS) winUsed German balance. Germans aggressively attacked straight up the middle & split my forces and easily took out British AVF as they entered the battle.
2021-02-13(D) Dan Best vs Scott Martin German (SS) winScenario lived up to it's name. Tigers took out the British tanks for the win.
