Overview:

This was the critical day of the operation for the Americans. General Collins decided to gamble and committed his armored forces before the situation was unquestionably ripe for an exploitation maneuver. Instead of assigning exploitation objectives, Collins told one of the armored columns to take Marigny, the other St. Gilles. Near Marigny, the troops encountered increasing resistance of the German Infantry Division 353 and the two companies of the SS Panzer Division 2.

2010-03-13(A) Edward Fritz vs Darrell Wright American winA meaty scenario with lots of stuff. The Americans have to get a VP total by either causing CVP or exiting through the Germans. The American player was able to exit several halftracks off the board prior to the German (SS) reinforcements arrival. The remainder of the points (except one tank exited) were from CVP. The American fighter-bombers with rockets made the winning kill.
