Played Online. Another close game.
Allies came up the Center and got a couple hits on both units in bunkers. I sent my sniper Right and shot his inf on the hill, and moved artillery up 2. He went for my sniper. I played General Advance to I move it back to hedgerows and rolled a flag on his inf on hill. In the Center I got a hit on his tank and 2 on his inf on my L/C hill. He Countered, got a lucky shot on my sniper, killed the guy in my Right bunker, and knocked an inf on my Left to 1 fig. I Countered his Counter and scored a kill on his lone-fig inf on the hill and 2 hits on my Right plus 2 more hits on his engineers. His engineers came back to kill my anti-tank in bunker. I played Medics to restore to full my lone-fig inf on my Left. Allies 2-1 (plus sniper).
Allies launched an Air Power strike to retreat my artillery and put a hit on an inf. I used Move Out! for my 4 surviving inf to come up the hill on my Right and kill his inf, while leaving cover just to retreat his on the hill on my Left. Recon-in-Force gave 2 hits on his Right and 1 on his Left. I took out his lone-fig engineer on my bunker to take the lead, 3-2.
He missed on my Left, but I got 2 hits on my Right. he got 2 hits, so both our inf on the hill on my Right were down to 1 fig. I didn't have any Rights, so went Attack-Left to retake my bunker and knock his inf to 1 fig. Allies played TFH (2inf,1arm) to kill my inf on his Left, and knock 2 inf on my Left to 1 fig. He chose to Take Ground off the hill, so I played another Attack-Left to kill it with my 2 lone-fig inf, and got a 1d pot-shot hit against his lone-fig inf next to the coastline.

Played Online. I opened with Barrage for 4 hits on his anti-tank in bunker, so thought the rest would be easy. I sent 3 inf up the hill with Attack-Right and played Firefight (2hits,2retreats) but he struck back with Air Power for 1 hit each. I advanced and got 2 more hits on his inf in the forest. He played General Advance to kill one, then Ambush to hit and retreat the 2nd before killing it. He retreated my third inf on the Right past the road.
I started going Left against his inf that moved into the hedgerow, and his inf in the bunker (but would keep missing the bunker!). I knocked that left inf down to 1, but each time he shot my tank I'd moved to the Center, he got 1 hit. His sniper came forward to shoot my guy next to the beach. I played Dig-In to clear my hand and buy me some time, and protect the wounded guy on the Right in the no-retreat zone in case he came up the hill.
I finally got his lone-fig inf on my Right by playing BEL, and ended on the far Right hill to shoot his 3-fig inf next turn (flags). He played Infantry Assault-Center for the third shot and hit on my tank! and brought a guy near mine on the Right hill. I shot his 3-fig inf on the Right but rolled 2 flags. His guy from the Center came up the hill to hit me. I played Recon-in-Force but forgot to activate the guy next to his lone-fig inf. I also should have brought my tank back to the Right for 2d. On the Right I got 2 hits on his hill inf. I was lucky his Move Out! only got 2 hits on my Right and 1 by sniper. I was out of Rights so did pull the tank back and got 2h/2d to kill and tie @ 3.
He did play a Recon-Right for his artillery in the corner to get a ping-hit on my lone-fig inf, so we both ended up losing 3 inf on the Right. This time when I played Recon-in-Force I went for his inf and hit. I wasn't sure where to go next with inf, since he still had a sniper. Tied @4.
His sniper knocked my inf near the beach to 1 fig, so I played Assault-Left to move a guy in front so he couldn't shoot him. With Direct from HQ, he shot it but missed, but got hits on my Left infantry. I Countered to head my 2-fig tank for the medal and found a #1 mine (miss). He Countered my Counter. He needed to retreat my tank for another turn or kill an inf on the Left. He got 1h/4d vs tank (no retreat) and 2h/3d vs my inf, so it came down to a sniper shot (miss). I walked into town for the win (w/Armor Assault for dramatic touch).
