Crossfire scenario: Deux fermes (fictitious)
Introduction
This is a tiny scenario that I have been playing solo to test out various tweaks to the standard Crossfire rules. It only needs a 2 foot x 1.5 foot (600 mm x 400 mm) table and a small (by Crossfire standards) amount of scenery.
Background
Normandy, near to the Odon river, July 1944.
Operation Epsom has ground to a halt. A badly bruised platoon of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders is trying to hold a farm on the outskirts of Gavrus against attack by elements of 10th SS Panzer Division (i.e. same time and place as "Scottish Corridor" scenario in "Hit the Dirt")
