This was replicated in the game. <br /><br />Along the canal the Germans managed to force a crossing a bit closer to the town irl, but in both the real thing and the game (sadly missed in the photos) British cavalry conducted mounted counterattacks which went down in a hail of Mauser fire.<br /><br />I was very pleased that the game broadly folowed the course of events, it was quite a hard scenario to design at a grand tactical level as the BEF frontage is ludicrously extended.
