Overview:

As part of the VIII Corps advance south of Caen, the 11th Armoured Division was given the mission to seize the villages of Bras and Hubert-Folie. Believing Bras to be lightly defended, Cromwell tanks of the 2nd Northamptonshire Yeomanry attacked at 1600. As the approached the village, the Cromwells were met with heavy fire from Hauptsturmfuhrer Erich Gratez's panzergrenadiers and two assault guns. The Northamptonshires were knocked off balance by the determined resistance and had to pull back to find a bypass around the village, leaving it to be secured by the follow-on force from the 8th Motor Battalion. By 1810 Bras was secure and the attack toward Hubert-Folie began. Taking the lead again the Northamptonshires moved carefully toward Hubert-Folie. They were once again met with heavy fire from Obersturmfuhrer Joachim Schiller's SS panzergrenadiers in Hubert-Folie and from Panther tanks on a ridge flanking the approach to the village.

2024-02-10(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best British winWow, tough game. Dan's SS were uber aggressive and came after me like Spider Monkeys on Mountain Dew. His STUG's attacked hard along with the Panther. The British were on the ropes and then a PIAT got a crit hit on the Panther and took it out. From that moment the momentum seemed to swing to the British and that was game and a British hard fought victory. Dan's attack was a clinic on how to counter-attack and seize the initiative from the attacker.

2015-08-03(D) nathan wegener vs James T German (SS) winLost Panther to T1 Cromwell swarm. Managed to wear down Brit Armour with PFs and STUGs and delay the offensive enough to hold on to the Board 10 village.
2014-06-19(A) Davide Bendazzi vs Toze Santos British winEverything went well for the Brits. The Cromwells took out the Stugs and then pounded hard the panzergrenadiers - Side note: took out the Panther with a rear hit with the PIAT
2004-03-12(D) Aaron Sibley vs Toby Pilling British win
