Overview:
After the allied landing of June 6 and the initial success in the Eastern beaches, the pace of the fighting was slowing down and now it was clear that the campaign was far to be an easy win. Caen was not seized yet, and several operations were to be launched in order to widen the penetration of Allied troops. One of these operations was code named Goodwood, and on July 18th, after a terrific carpet bombing of more than 2000 bombers, the attack began. At 0745, with over than 1000 tanks, the Allied spearhead crossed the departure line and the 11th Armored Division advanced through numerous shocked German landsers. But after a few kilometres of light fighting, the advancing units were faced with an uncommon problem: a sunken railroad denied any further advance, and the bridgelayers had to be called upon...Attacker: Canadian (11th Armoured Division, 3rd RTR and 159th Infantry Brigade with 22nd Dragoons)
Defender: German (Remnants 16th Luftwaffe Feld Division)
