The British Sector, left flank of the invasion area: With four assault Divisions landing against the 2nd rate German 716th Infantry Division, the British I and XXX Corps had an even chance of scoring a major D-Day coupe by capturing the city of Caen. Only the positioning of elements of the 21st Panzer Division near the landing areas and their savage counterattack late in the day prevented this. As a result, the British and Canadians would bleed for weeks to come in the long, drawn-out fight for the city. This 1 day scenario combines the D-Day actions in the British sector. For a 2 day version covering this same battle area, see #10 "Race to Caen". [Size: medium; Length: 10 turns]
