Attack #1:

Hex 3310 containing 1-8 Cmdo II 6 and 2-8* Inf X 36 is attacked by 3-2-8 Pz II 501, 2-10 Mot III 10B, and Ju87D. The attacking ground units are unsupported and halved, thus the Axis force numbers 7.5 AFs in attack supply 0.5 REs) with full unopposed AECA. The Allied force arrayed against them also contains an unsupported unit (6th Cmdo II) and so the defense numbers 2.5 DFs in rough terrain with no retreat (and no AA) = 3:1 (+2). The Allied force is gone regardless of the die roll, but the Tigers must follow them if you roll a 1 (HX). Advance the tanks.

Attack #2:

Hex 3311 containing 5-3-10 Arm X 26, 0-1-5 Para II 1/1, and 10 Arm XX HQ 6 is attacked by 12-10 Pz XX 10, 2-10 Mot hv AA III 54, 2-10 Mot hv AA III 55, Ju 88A x 2, He 111H x 2, and SM.84. The attackers total 28 AFs in attack supply (5 REs) with full AECA against 4 DFs in rough terrain with 1/2 ATEC. This could make a neat 7:1 (0) if the Allied HQ misfires its lonely AA pt. It really needs 3 hits in 5 (without Ju 88A) or 2 out of 5 (with Ju 88A) to put you in trouble; at 5:1, an HX would indeed make you cry. You should normally roll at least on the 6:1 column and put the Brits to the test (a DH is nearly as good as a DE since you will be able to overrun the survivors). Advance the victors.

Attack #3:

Hex 3412 containing the valiant 3-8* Inf X 1 Gds is attacked by 4-6 Inf XX 1, 2-6 Mar III SM, 2-1-10 Pz II 190, 2-10 Mot III SV 287, Fw 190A, Me 109G, Re.2002, and MC.202. The attack force consists of 15 AFs in attack supply (4.5 REs) with 1/7 AECA against 3 DFs in rough terrain. Note that the SV 287 is unsupported and draws supply from any otherwise unused step of supply (Rule 32C2). The attack goes at 5:1 (0) and the surrounded brigade is destroyed; again an HX is possible (you lose the colorful San Marco marines). Advance everybody save the SM unit.
