Or the standard map with a German army in Tyr instead of Sax.

You mean the English army in Boh.  (I don't understand why it couldn't
retreat to Tyr, but that's irrelevant).

No, because the attack of Mun to Boh has a prevent strength of 3 on Boh,
and the move of Sax to Boh only has an attack strength of 2, so it bounces.
