#0729_01: Notre Dame - Das Reich Disaster - Battles of Normandy

Notre-Dame-de Cenilly, South West of St Lo: July 29th, 1944. (Scenario Size: Battalion. Head to Head or United States Human vs AI) Confusion was caused in the 2.SS-Panzer-Division Das Reich by conflicting orders from the German High Command. This led to the bulk of the German forces trying to withdraw SE through Roncey to Percy. On many roads there were 'penny packets' of units making their way back to try to form a new front. Das Reich was no different and had its units spread all over the place. Such was a column of armoured vehicles, led by a Hummel SP gun, trying to force the crossroads at Notre-Dame-de-Cenilly held by a small group of the US 2nd Armored Division - the last platoon just moving into its prepared position.
