Tim Saunders for Pen & Sword
Same series as Bluecoat above and with the same excellent presentation. Indeed I found the maps even better that in Bluecoat which is saying something. This covers VIII Corps drive across the Odon. It was halted around Hill 112 (see above) by a massive counter-attack by 1st SS Panzerkorps whose attack was forestalled by Epsom. This is one of those brawling battles much practiced by the British and German armies. German defensive skill, better armour and mortars-spandaus-snipers meet British numbers and artillery. Both sides gave the other a fearful bashing.
