Normandy '44 AAR

[CountryBoy]

Turn 45. 12:00 10 June 1944

A very quick update - in the last post I mentioned my concerns that British commandos might be trying to sneak across the La Dives river to the east of Caen. As shown below, I rushed two companies from the 346th Infantry Division to the area (one infantry, one pioneers) and what did they find?




Three battalions (or companies) from the 6th Airborne Division and another from the 1st Special Services Brigade getting into position adjacent to the river, which would allow the commandos to cross unhindered. it was a cunning plan by my opponent, taking advantage of the poor weather and low visibility and it was just luck that I found out before they could get across.
