Note: This scenario should be played from the German side only. As Sgt. Krause, your goal is to exit the east edge of the map to safety. Doing so will earn you points; not enough points, however, to get a major victory. You'll need to take out a couple of Canadian tanks AND exit to be assured of a small triumph out of a great tragedy for the Wehrmacht.**

Senario Hint: It might be wise to turn off your main gun to avoid wasting your ammunition on some occsions during the Canadian side's turn. Doing so will allow you to pick your own shots instead of the computer doing it for you.**

Remember! If you lose your Tiger, the battle is over for you. You have failed.**

Background:**

While in itself, this scenario is hypthetical, it does reflect the historical and desperate panicked withdrawal of the Germany Army from France before it is cut off by strong armored pincers of the United States Army in the south and United Kingdom forces from the north.**

The Tiger you are moving out of harm's way is the only remaining one of Abeitlung 503. Sgt. Krause has become separated from the column he as escorting and is all alone.**

He and his crew are trying to reach the Dives River and safety. One of his crew is dead, the tank has suffered damage, has lost acceleration, and he is low on ammunition. Krause is determined to make it. He will not be stopped in his quest to save both his tank and the men he commands.**

Canadian tank and recon units are roaming south of St. Lambert trying to stop the German retreat. They may have a big fish on the line, bigger than what they are anticipating.**
