Overview:

After waiting a month for the Allied attack at Calais, Generalmajor Karl Seivers' Feld-Fivision 16 (Luftwaffe) began its move to Normandy into the front lines around Caen, protecting the flanks of SS-Panzer-Division 12 and Panzer-Division 21. After an RAF raid against Caen on 7 July, the British 3rd Infantry Division attacked near Lebisey – and then along the Caen canal towards the industrial suburb of Columbelles. Led by the 2nd Lincolns, the British slammed into the German lines in two directions.

2021-08-28(D) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best German winDan's British struggled in the beginning. My Germans raced two leaders and 5 squads across the river by Turn 2. I was able to hold Dan back for another two turns, which allowed my tanks to each cover a bridge. Dan cleared the north side of the bridge by Turn 5, with only a single 4-4-7 still on the north side. Dan would take 9 building locations, but with 13 German points across the river, it was over and a German win.
