Played this one yesterday.
The German player starts the battle with 1 Medal (1-0).
In a couple of turns with both Mortar and Machine Gun barrage Germans managed to get 2 VP killing a Mark I female tank. (3-0).
Brits tried to advance on left and center area, pushing to the left and avoiding german Mortar and MG on the right.
A german lucky roll using a "First Strike" wiped out a brit infantry (4-0).
Another brit riflemen unit killed while fleeing on open terrain hex. (5-0).
British player feared german "recon card" (worth 1 VP for brits racing against time) all game long... but it never arrived.
Germans began to suffer lack of cards to be played or at least "not as useful".
British pushed all along on the left capturing fortified position, german trench and killing some infantry units with both tanks (close combat).
Final result: 4-6 for the British!

Card of the game: "Direct from HQ" who allowed British player to move every unit (pressing on the german fortified positions).
