6th November. Defeat at Givet!

At last, got my hands on a Matilda Mk II and headed north to try and intercept Jerry forces back dooring Givet from the west. After a 40 minute drive, the few soldiers left defending the town called for backup as enemy panzers were holding the bridge on my side.

Crested the hill and took out a Pz IIIF that was parked near the bridge. Unfortunately, he called in the long range 88's on the hill, and I was subjected to 10 minutes of constant barrage, until finally it stopped and I heard Jerry voices outside the tank - Sappers! Had to surrender as he took out my engine. crew posted MIA, the town fell shortly after.
