It was one of the Rapid Fire scenarios, Lightfoot southern flank, which pitched the 7th Armoured against positions held by Folgore and Ramke paratroops, backed up by Axis armour. I took on one flank of the British assault and we won best in show so it was doubly a pleasure to play

The axis realised the inevitable and conceded victory.
