The 'O' Group Normandy Campaign

A defending German battalion must withdraw from the battlefield immediately if it has suffered three FUBARs or unsuppressed enemy infantry units are in possession of both objectives at the end of a game turn. The defenders cannot counter-attack and the attacker can move forward to claim the objectives if he is not already in possession. Remove all shock and FUBARs, calculate victory points, re-assess the casualty figures and move on to the next scenario.

An attacking British force must withdraw from the battlefield if it suffers three FUBARs. Remove all shock and FUBARs, calculate victory points, re-assess the casualty figures and replay the scenario. The attacker and defender have the option of using their fourth infantry company to replace a company that has suffered heavy losses.

The Germans - defending German forces may withdraw from the field by choice as long as they have suffered at least one FUBAR and they do so at the end of a game turn. The British attacker can move forward to claim the objectives. Remove all shock and FUBARs, calculate victory points and re-assess the casualty figures. The defender then has two choices: -

Declare that he is continuing to withdraw, in which case move on to the next scenario.

Declare that he is going to counter-attack (only German battalions can counter-attack). 

If the German commander declares a counter-attack, the British player can choose to withdraw to his original start line in which case victory points are calculated (the Germans will automatically re-occupy the objectives) and the scenario is re-played. If the British commander decides to stand his ground a new battle is fought using the corresponding counter-attack map. The counter-attacker and defender have the option of using their fourth infantry company to replace a company that has suffered heavy losses, if the resource is available.

An attacking British force may elect to dig-in at the end of a game turn if it has picked up at least one FUBAR but has not yet acquired a second. Any objectives seized must be relinquished and all units will return to the start line. Digging in differs from withdrawal in the following ways: -

Shock and FUBARs remain attached to both sides

There is no victory point calculation

There is no casualty re-assessment

However, both the counter-attacker and defender have the option of using their fourth infantry company to replace a company that has suffered heavy losses, if the resource is available. It is important to remember that a dig-in does not produce a decision and that the action must be continued until a withdrawal takes place. 

The British are only allowed to use the dig-in option once per scenario.
