The Germans chose not to infiltrate at La Motte, but committed a platoon and an additional section into a night attack at the paper mill. The COC Probe scenario was used for this game.
2DLI used platoons to protect both locations.
La Motte can be accessed from Les Monts or Les Ples while the Paper Mill is accessed from Gastuche or Bois-Vallee only.
At any time, the German commander may attack directly the Dyle Bridge but he’ll find it easier going by first hitting the flanks.
Colonel Quilp of 2DLI gave the orders for the deployment of the British
Oberst von Weißmehr commanded the deployment, and crucially the follow on attacks, of the 31st infantry.
All games are played solo following these deployments, using Chain of Command.

| The Paper Mill position. British and German jump points. |
The stream is counted as a railway embankment for this game, and the road passes under it through a tunnel.
The British occupy the Paper Mill and from its upper stories thier section can engage across the embankment, but must fire Very lights to see the advancing Germans.
 |
| A German LMG and rifle section pour a devastating fire on the British section just over the e man mentioned, killing them all including their Platoon Sergeant. |
 |
| The Germans capture the jump point, driving out the British, but they lose a section doing it. |
 |
| German fire now focuses on the Paper mill itself |
 |
| Flanked by the Germans the defenders of the Mill hold out. |
 |
| The fight in the woods. The Pendraken 10mm are perfect for these games, but I had to red dot the British and Blue dot the Germans for the sake of my eyes. Here the remaining Corporal and the last Brits outside the Mill. |
 |
| A win for the 31st Division, but they lose 2 sections. 2DLI withdraw thier remaining men, the Platoon at half strength. |
