Following the successful allied landings near Rouen and an unsuccessful strike towards paris the reeling armoured formations moving away from Paris turned the flank of the Coastal defences and forced the defenders to withdraw lest they be cut off. GI's in the Vanguard of the US Army then pushed the Heer outposts, during the fighting a Storch light aircraft crash lands in no mans land carring important orders and intelligence to retake the Atlantic wall defences.
Today's scenario is Top secret! Documents in the middle of the map must be secured and run off of the Map to secure victory. The Germans in this scenario are outnumbered 2:1.
The USA brought an army of infiltrator veterans and dominated the table from setup, the Heer made up mostly of Penal Battalion troops were quickly shot down and pinned by the Veteran GI's.
With allied trucks on the objective end of turn 1 and half the already ounumbered Germans down off of the board, I called the game for an Easy US victory!
What happened next completely shifted the Game, the Germans fell back but maintained contact with the defenses objective, the allies moved their tanks in to chase the retreating Heer. The German infantry and Kriegsmarine support outflanking from the sea shifted the focus of the battle north, the allied armoured tried to disengage but was destroyed in an ambush (when campaign tokens try to move in a hex adjacent to an enemy the enemy can roll to destroy the enemy token for free).
The Allies then tried to bomb the Kriegsmarine squadron but was quickly driven off by the luftwaffe before the German bombers tried to destroy the advancing allied infantry, but failed to stop them. The Heer then launch an assault on the communications centre. This battle will be resolved in Log entry 4.
