The Aussie went after the multi-hex building first. But after some beating they switched to the single building VC. Since the multi hex condition was still attainable I had to disperse my forces, on top of that the 9-2 BH to 10-2 and got hero status. of 4th turn he went for the building but my R35 saved the day breaking 2 and 1/2 squads and surviving the melee, on my last turn there was a wall of bodies around the building preventing access to the second hex and an R35 and a concealed squad of mine in melee with 1 squad and the 10-2. he tried to take off the tank with the leader but didn't succeded and the game was over.

I opted to push all my forces to take the church. I made it into the church in the second turn but only 1 of the 2 hexes and Gene left both tanks in the building making my job much harder.
Good shooting and terrible MC rolls left 6 Aussie squads broken at the end of Turn 2 and only 1 rallied in Turn 3. Equally poor MC and TC rolls broke the back of the Australians. I couldn't even pass a PAATC to get anyone else into the hexes with the tanks so it was over at the end of turn 3. The Vichy had the ability to fill both hexes with troops and still had the tanks in place.

The Aussies split their force and attacked from the top and bottom right. Good deployment of smoke allowed the Aussies to get a foothold in the buildings on the right-hand side although they would subsequently lose some of those gains. On the top progress was better and despite being attacked by one of the French tanks they were able to bypass it and get a foothold in the Victory building. Once that was secured the French were not in a position to take it back and despite some success against the Aussie forces on the right it was an Aussie victory.

Just my comments were that the French are hard to re-deploy with the unique terrain

This one is an uphill struggle for the Australians - literally! Yes, they are stealthy in CC, but usually have to move/advance uphill into buildings, resulting in CX that more than negates this. Even so, I nearly made it, but fell just short of taking the key victory building.
