Holland and Murray continue the Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry series, now into the fight for Point 103 — a key piece of Normandy terrain. Good detail on British armoured tactics post-D-Day, including Firefly and Churchill AVRE employment, and the high churn rate among tank crews that rarely gets the attention it deserves. The series is building well; this instalment has more tactical meat than Part 2.
