That was a tough game but a fitting end to a well played out campaign. The bully beef franchise has been paused but it will get it's day again, this pizza malarkey is overrated.

I'm currently reading 'The Black Bull' by Delaforce about the 11th Armoured Division and in pretty much every attack, they are caught by mortar and nebelwerfer barrages in pre-registered areas. All British attacks bar one so far have been ably supported by artillery. Interesting to note that in one attack a request for mortar support was turned down with predictable results.
