Villers-Bocage scenario

[cglytle]

Would someone please help me understand the specifics for the British Commonwealth units in this scenario? I feel I am not finding all the information.

A link, or copied text, would be kind.

I think I understand all the Axis/Tiger rules, but the poor Allies performance did not make sense to me.

Thanks.

Maybe this helps?

But you can also see this text when you are playing the scenario if you click on the "clipboard" on th right side top of menu

Briefing:
Axis Player
[Germany]
Take 6 Command cards.
You move first.

Allied Player
[British]
Take 3 Command cards.

Conditions of Victory:
Axis Player: 5 Medals.
Allied Player: 3 Medals.

The Victory medals on the two road hexes exiting from the village are Permanent Medal Objectives for the Axis forces.

Special Rules:
British Commonwealth Forces command rules are in effect (Nations 5 - British Commonwealth Forces).

Tiger tank rules are in effect (Troops 16 - Tigers). The Tiger tank marked with a Battle Star is Michael Wittmann's: It may ignore 1 flag; battle at +1d when not moving; and its Battle Star does not count as an additional Victory medal for the enemy.

In this battle, all forest and village hexes are considered impassable. Those Axis units that do start in a forest hex may not enter any other forest or village hex once they leave their initial position.

^^^ This is what I am missing. I read about the battle back, but still I am missing something. Something is flying over my head.

All the other rules make sense.

Thanks.

All the text of the explanation cards is available under the 'How to play" tab in the game. So you can search for "British Commonwealth Forces", and you find the following (almost at the bottom of the page):

British Commonwealth Forces (BCF)
Stiff Upper Lip
A BCF ground unit that survives an enemy's Close Assault combat without retreating and is down to a single figure may immediately battle that enemy back with 1 die
A battle back ignores all terrain battle dice reductions
A battle back may occur even if the Close Assault is part of an Armor Overrun
The unit cannot battle back during an Ambush
