#17 - The "Jugend" Come out to Play - PzC 02 Normandy '44

Northwest of Caen, D+1, June 7th, 1944: The 3rd Canadian Infantry Division was ordered to expand their beachhead and push south toward Carpiquet. The Germans reacted by sending "Panzer" Meyer and his elite troops, the 12SS (Hitlerjugend) Panzer Division, into a breach in the lines. Meyer was ordered to "drive to the beaches" but much of the division was strung out and no coordinated attack could be made. From his perch at the Abbey Ardennes, he could plainly see elements of the Nova Scotia Highlanders, supported by armour, as they moved off toward the airport at Carpiquet. The Panzer Grenadiers held their fire and waited until the time was right. The first clash between these formations was a bloody one and the vicious nature of it set the tone between the SS and Canadians for the rest of the war. *Designers Note: This scenario can be enjoyed as from either side or even H2H play, but is especially enjoyable as Allied Human vs. an Axis AI Opponent.
