"Disaster" in the Wallonia

Captain Slaughter's Plan 

Step One Lt Atkins to slip into the town and fix the Germans attention.

Step Two Lt Disaster to seize the road bridge on the British Left

Step 3 Lt Scarlet to attack to take the cross roads on the high road

Battle Commence, immediately poor radio transmission leaves each platoon operating in isolation all three platoons are out of touch with Captain Slaughter in  battlegroup HQ.  In CSM Punishment's opinion Captain Slaughter is the one out of touch with reality.  Lt Scarlett passed through the woods and was killed in front of the White house in this pictures foreground.

Lt Atkins before he "pushes on"

Lt Atkins kept the jerries occupied, Sargeant Sly hugging the wooded river bank managed to get within assault range of the Jerries but his boys wouldnt charge home pinned down by spandau fire.  Atkins rather luckily got most of the sections into fire positions, rattling fire into their dominate position.

Lt Disaster occupies the Lofthouse

Lt Disaster's lead carrier ran into a Panzer schreck ambush, who in turn paid the price. The last carrier was pinned down repeatedly by nasty Jerries hidden on the second floor of an old wreck.  Disaster later brought down a vengeful mortar stonk.  Jerry had melted away victorious.

Scarletts's death had made the whole company think of vengance on their next encounter with Jerry.  Scarlett had been very popular and known to the men as "Crumpet hunter"
