Result: Axis victory!

To maintain Hitlers fixation on the Pas de Calais the Allies have continued to scout other beaches on the French coast after the D-Day landings. We fought this using the Postage Able scenario. The Allied Commandos had the misfortune of coming ashore on a stretch of beach guarded by Sven Hassel, the Old 'Un, Tiny and the Legionnaire. The first Commando scouted the first section of beach and then slipped back to sea while his comrade scouted the second section & moved on to attempt. the third section. The Germans had eliminated 2 of the diversionary markers. While attempting to scout the final section the last Commando came too close to the Legionnaire, his senses honed by his pre-war service with the French in Algeria. The Commando attempted to eliminate the Legionnaire but against the lethal reflexes of the little man his Commando training was of little help.
