Chain of Command - British against Germans

After last week's success we decided to give Steve another Chain of Command tutorial type game.
General B. took the beastly Hun and Steve took command of the Good General's British.
We've never used the British before, so this was a chance to see how they want.
"Use smoke" I repeated, helpfully, throughout the game as that's the only thing I've ever heard about the British.

I didn't take many pictures, but here they are

The peaceful French village (you may just be able to see some jump off points)

The British popped up to hug the bocage.

Heer began running toward the Brits

On the north of the table the Germans advanced rapidly and knocked on the door of a peaceful French house.

Unfortunately (for the Germans) the house contained a company of 47th Kilmarnock light infantry sleeping off a night of brandy fuelled fun in the beds of nubile French farm girls (not pictured). A brutal close combat fight erupted, at the end of which a team, a junior officer and a senior officer on the German side all lay utterly dead on the ground. Morale plummeted.
On the British side just three bleary eyed and hungover riflemen survived.

With his left flank pinned in the bocage, his right flank ripped to shred by hungover Scotsmen, Leutnant Ballzimmer directed his men to rush the centre.

The British in the bocage realised they were being outflanked but their attempts to head back to the centre fell short.

Ballzimmers men rushed off the centre and claimed the victory.

A good fun game. Initially the Germans made rapid progress, but the close combat around the house knocked the wind from their sales. however the damage inflicted on the British meant Steve didn't quite have enough resources to stop the Germans in the centre.
Also he should have fired smoke.

And finally a "period" sepia picture. because I can.
