Overview:

The 229th Field Artillery Battalion had heard bad news. The Germans had turned the flank of the French line and the gunners would soon find themselves face to face with the German panzers. No longer was the artillery position behind the lines – now they were the line. . .Just before the tanks arrived, a platoon of Fusiliers arrived carrying their wounded platoon leader. Bolstered by the foot soldiers, the cooks and mechanics of the 229th engaged the German vehicles.

2015-03-24(D) Martí Cabré vs Eoin Corrigan German winI conceded after a few turns. Eoin easily bypassed the British positions without many losses. My firing was lousy but there was really nothing I could do to stop him reaching the map edge with so many turns and so few defenders. Either my defense was horrible or there is some strategy I did not see or maybe it's unbalanced.
