BRITISH OFFENSIVE FIRE / MOVEMENT PHASE.

No firing this time which is understandable as it is apparently 'over the top time'.

Orders came through to the British units to move forward and push the enemy off the ridge.

On the left flank the Grant manages to roar up the left slope to attempt to crush the lone section guarding that side of the ridge. The British infantry attempts to go to the same position as the Grant but their morale is not good. Only one section arrives to help the tank out. Two others nearly make it to the rocks while the last three reorder but are staying put at this stage.

On the right the Valentine has had another Jekyll/Hyde pill. It blew away the 251 and now it moves back one action disordered (again). This unit is shaky at best.

The brave infantry on the right stay in place but due to enemy fire and their own losses they fail to reorder. Once again the right flank is stagnant for the British.

It all comes down to the close combat to take place on the left of the ridge. A success for the British and the Germans will have no choice but to pull out to the right to save their tanks. A successful defence by the Germans and they may be able to get their tanks moving to the left along with their infantry and overrun the British troops.

It is now the German defensive fire phase followed by any close combat. Good luck to all.
