Overview:
Brigadier General Norman Cota had decided to tag along on a mission to capture two bridges that the Germans might use to sever the tie between US forces in Carentan and Omaha Beach. After crossing the Vire River, the two companies encountered heavy resistance and the total force was reduced to just 80 men. Capturing the bridges was not going to be possible. Around 6 pm, as Cota’s men were digging in northwest of Montmartin-en-Graignes, reinforcements arrived in the form of 60 men from Battalion I, Glider Infantry Regiment 327 who had been probing south from Carentan. Cota decided to take Montmartin instead, or risk being slaughtered out in the open in the dark.Attacker: American (Reinforced 175th Infantry Regiment, 29th Infantry Division)
Defender: German (SS) (Battalion II, SS Panzergrenadier Regiment 38, SS Panzergrenadier Division 17)

| 2026-01-30 | (D) Douglas Leslie | vs | Tony Gibson | German (SS) win (VASL Log) | FNF game pitting my 5.5 SS squads against a company of US troops led by a 10-2 leader who have 6.5 turns to capture seven buildings. It looks like a mismatch but the bocage is a great equaliser as it slows movement and negates US firepower. Tony's guys came at me from opposite sides of the board. They managed to outflank the Germans defending the north east bocage. One SS squad was encircled in bocage with half of the US OB including the 10-2 bearing down on it. Four DRs of greater than or equal to 10 allowed it to survive. That squad tied up a lot of manpower and eventually won a CC to survive to the end of the game. Elsewhere the Americans were having similar problems rolling low enough to harm the German defenders and Tony conceded on turn 6 when it was clear that he didn't have the necessary manpower to expel the SS from the three buildings that they still held. Fun scenario that is ideal for a quick game in the evening. | ||
| 2026-01-30 | (D) Paul Legg | vs | Peter Palmer | American win (VASL Log) | Friday Night Fight My Germans conceded in the American turn 6 prep fire when the 7-0 wielding a bazooka finally got a hit on the church and took out the half-squad defending it with a k/2 result. This left me with a solitary hs w lmg and 9-1 leader to hold off the americans over two turns of movement. Early turns were bloody with casualties just dying and not breaking. A 658 in P8 kia'd, the american sniper eliminated by the triggered german sniper. Turn four there was a collapse in the german defence as several key units broke allowing exploitation of the resulting holes. | ||
