I just got back from France and Normandy so I was in the mood for a DDay game. I also wanted something basic and that would allow for both sides to do some maneuvering, so a straight out assault on dug in stationery troops was out. I came up with the move in from Asnelles by the B Company 2 Devons and the counterattack by the 916 Grd Rgt later in the day on June 6. The 2 German grenadier companies had 2 3-section Zugs. I rated them as poor troops. This company had 2 attached MMG teams. The German orders were to get off the north edge of the table. A pair of StuGIIIs would show later. For the Brits, B Company of the 2 Devons had all 3 platoons, but I also rated them as poor troops for this game. Between being seasick and inexperienced they were not fully up to their game. A troop from the Sherwood Rangers were assigned as support but were running late. Their orders were to advance south and get off the table.They began on the north board edge.
