Forêt d'Ecouves, South of Argentan: August 12th, 1944. (Scenario Size: Battalion-. Head to Head or French Human vs AI) The French 2nd Armored Division was ordered to bypass the Forêt d'Ecouves and push on to Argentan. The French commander General Leclerc decided that the forest might hide significant enemy forces and sent two of his task forces to the east and west of the forest and one through the centre from the south. The centre force (RMSM) was stopped on the southern fringe by entrenched Germans and it was decided to send a relieving force from the north. Units from Grp Tactique Waraboit pushed south along the road traversing the forest hoping to assist their stalled colleagues.
