From the Too Fat Lardies scenario book: "From Wildcat to Whale" Scenario #14.

This scenario focused on the German attack on the Right Flank Company of the Scots Guards holding the area of Carroceto railway station during the late evening and night of 9th/10th February 1944. One of the forward companies of the Scots will be holding positions out along the railway track to the north: the Germans will be trying to wipe them out.

3rd platoon of the 1st Scots Guards arrive as reinforcements and with the "Skirl of the Pipes" attacks the German left.

With the left flank of the Guards wiped out, Panzer Ivs and Panthers take control of the railroad cut, however, heavy German losses made it only a tactical victory.
