Lingevres 14th June 1944 - a Rapid Fire scenario set up

Have set up Lingevres scenario from Rapid Fire 2 rule book for a solo outing with Rapid Fire Reloaded (and possibly other sets).

Scenario depicts action of 50th Tyne Tees Division on 14th June to capture Lingevres from Panzer Lehr.

The RF scenario has elements of 151st Infantry Brigade attacking elements of 902nd PzGr Regiment.

Specifically the British are a Battalion of the 9th Durham Light Infantry supported by elements from 2nd Cheshires (an MG Company), A Squadron of 4th/7th Dragoon Guards (Shermans), an Achilles Troop from 102nd AT Regt with fire support from 341st Battery of 86th Field Artillery (25pdrs).

The Germans are the reduced 1st Battalion of 902nd with support from Panzer Regt 130 in form of a troop of Panzers (Panthers).

Reserves for Germans (due turn 8) are another troops of Panzers (Panthers) and a PzGr Coy from 2nd Battalion of 902nd.

Germans set up dug in on 2/3rds off table will British advancing across cornfields.

Have set up the initial defenders in and around Lingevres ready for the off.

The awful 2020 is proving to be a good year for WW2 rule sets with the release of Rapid Fire Reloaded and with 'O' Group and World In Conflict both in pipeline (both planned for release before year end)
