The Germans couldn't allow a 'Sir Robin' roaming their rear, and repositioned their Ersatz Tank Platoon and a Tiger to kill him in a number of nasty ways. While two surviving Fireflies took their shots using "Semi Indirect Fire", hoping for a lucky hit.
Now that the Tigers were out, the M-10's double timed to the cover of the nearby hill, the idea was to approach the Tigers under cover of a hull down position on the hills. The subsequent assault, counter assault, reassault, and counter-reassault ended with the sIG 150 left standing, and 'Sir Robin', to beat a very brave retreat. Lieutenant Idle, in his Stuart 'Sir Robin', skirted the Ersatz Panzer Platoon, and maneuvered to the flank of the surviving sIG 150. The Shermans of Troop 'B' had lined up on a PaK 40, and gave it a couple of volleys, but to no effect. In Bourguebus, the Motor Platoon dismounted and started approaching the objective under cover of the buildings and the watchful eyes of Troop 'B'.
