Overview:
The German fort at Point de Corsen, a rocky promontory five miles north of the Graf Spee Battery that is one of the westernmost points on the French mainland, was garrisoned by a force defined by an American intelligence report as ’50 in number, thirty to fifty years old, mostly coast guardsmen… supplied by fishing boats from Brest.’ On the evening of August 28 a task force comprised of Companies A and C of Rudder’s 2nd Ranger Battalion moved up and prepared to assault that position. It looked like a tough mission, but the task force commander, Capt. Edgar Arnold, was a veteran of the early-morning Omaha Beach assault on D-Day, and compared to that cataclysm, this job would in all likelihood be easy because the enemy garrison apparently did not have its heart in such a hopeless cause. In fact, part of the garrison attempted to escape during the night, and French partisans killed ten of them. . . . This is the only scenario here that does not use either tanks or guns, but it makes up for this with an unusual set of combatants and an Allied force composition that changes each time you play it. Set in France in 1944, a German unit comprised mainly of 2nd line troops is attacked by two separate forces: one force is made up of elite American Rangers cooperating with poorly-trained and poorly-equipped Free French irregulars; the second force is a group of escaped Russian POWs who have rearmed themselves in order to fight the Germans!Attacker: Allies (Company A, 2nd Rangers / Free French of the Interior (FFI) / Russian rearmed POWs)
Defender: German (XXV Corps)
