I was facing Mike with a Platoon of Infantry and an extra Motor Rifle Section, with Bryn facing Simon with another Platoon and an Airborne section.
We had support in form of 3 Shermans, a Staghound, an M5 Stuart and couple of 2" Mortar Teams and an HMG.
Germans had 2 Reduced Platoons of foot sloggers supported by a PzIVH, a Stug/105mm, an Sd222, an Sd250, a couple of PzShrecks teams and a Sniper.
Mike rolled low for his individual Force Morale starting with 8 and this was to be his undoing as a steady stream of 2 point losses occurred for each of his 'Bad Things Happen' incidents (his Leaders seemed to attract wounds like flies !).
His Stug had a firefight with a Sherman on my side with the M4 thankfully only suffering engine damage whilst the Stug took a couple of Shock points and after several exchanges of fire (both obscured) the Stug was brewed and exploded.
His Sd222 proved bothersome however with its 6 HE dice for its 20mm auto-cannon and a PzShreck team ambushed and destroyed my Staghound.
He was rather unlucky firing on an advancing British section and once revealed his sections took a deluge of fire losing several figures and leaders to break his morale.
Bryn on my left pushed against Simon (who was much more reticent to deploy his infantry) losing the M5 to the PzIV but keeping his infantry fairly intact.
When Mike lost his last Morale we called it a day as half the German force was routed.
Great game with plenty of action and I prefer COC2 to the original version.
