The Germans are ordered to hold at all costs, protecting the rear of the German counterattack forming to cut off the American spearheads. They have heavy artillery support for the forces defending the town. [Size, small, 14 turns]. Play as allied or HTH. In this version, the US forces have shifted their major push east of the Vire river directly at the town of Vire, and the Germans are shifted to the east also.
