Overview:

As the Germans relentlessly pushed deeper into Belgium, they hit the British defenses at the Escaut River. They suffered sever casualties forcing a crossing, and establishing a bridgehead near Esquelmes on Poplar Ridge. The small bridgehead was heavily shelled, and then attacked in successive waves by two British infantry companies. Still, the Germans held firm to the important ridge. The British tried once again, supported by three Bren Carriers.
Attacker: British (Elements of 3rd Company, 3rd Battalion, Grenadier Guards)

2016-07-14(A) nathan wegener vs James Treu British winsmall and dicey fun to have carriers as the heavy metal in a scenario. One of them went on a 5 shot ROF tear into a stack of 3 squads breaking all and finishing them off by failure to rout. My opponent did similar damage late game with his mortar but it was too late. Key moment was his MMG crew breaking on the first incoming fire.
