Air Support comes into the area and strafes the same platoon managing to pin them. Panzer Grens move towards the now pinned Brits in their Halftracks. StuGs push towards the center objectives hoping to reinforce the Pumas. British Rifle Company: Brits get reserves. Crocs lumber into the fray! Rifles stay dug in hoping to weather the next bombardment and air attack again. Knowing that if they do not knock out the Pumas the fight is lost the Brits order a Heavy mortar bombardment and succeed in knocking out the one Puma contesting!! The newly arrived Crocs score a long range hit on another Puma forcing a morale check which is failed! Seeing off the immediate threat of a German early win.

PanzerKompanie: StuGs park on the objective and turn to face the charging Crocs (For whatever good it does!) Panzer IVs take shots at Crocs managing to Bail one. No Air Support Rockets drop a bombardment on the Crocs and HMGs but to no avail British Rifle Company: With no teams close enough to contest the objective the Brits fire everything they have at the StuGs. The Heavy mortars reduced to just two tubes range in but cant bring the pain. Knowing they cant win the battle they turn to doing as much damage as possible. Newly arrived M10s from reserve chew up the Panzer IVs leaving 2 burning in the fields.

German foces manage to seize and hold the objective utilizing their highly mobile forces. (5-2 Axis Victory)
