Overview:

The pincers around Falaise were closing on Paul Hausser’s 7. Armee and by the third week of August there were very few routes of escape left. One such possible route was at the village of St. Lambert along the Dives river, which was little more than a stream. Nonetheless, the few bridges capable of carrying vehicular traffic became very strategic, and one of the last was located at St. Lambert. A small but speedy mixed force from the Canadian 4th Armoured Division under command of Major David Vivian Currie was dispatched on 18 August to seize the bridge – if they could.
Attacker: Canadian (South Alberta Regiment and 29th Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment, 4th Armoured Division)
Defender: German (Infanterie-Division 353 and Panzer-Division 2)

2026-05-03(A) Grant Linneberg vs Jody Sallans German winMy 10-2 went berserk on the second turn and of course took a squad with him. I managed to lay smoke in front of their 88 before the berserkers had to charge across the road to take their 81 MTR, but the mortar crew reduced the squad as they attacked. They eliminated the crew in CC, but then the 10-2 and HS were out of position. They did manage to get as couple shots off with the MTR, but captured use and inexperienced crew made the DRMs too much to stay there.

It all came down to the final turn. I needed all 6 VC locations and took 5 easily, but needed to push him back out out of one without losing anyone myself as I was 1 away from the CVP cap. I assault moved a leader and squad next to the location where he just had a HS. If I make it into CC, I have a great chance at winning. But he manages to get an NMC on me and my squad rolls boxcars, casualty reducing and giving up the final CVP. Very fun finish to a fun game.
