Overview:

On June 12th, to expand the Omaha Beach foothold, the 18th and 26th Infantry Regiments of the “Big Red One” launched a morning attack in the direction of Caumont. Initial progress was swift and the village of Sallen, 3km north of the objective, fell easily. But as dusk approached and the Americans tried to enter Caumont itself, they were hit by a counterattack comprised of infantry and assault guns from Panzerdivision 2. The battle raged in the fading light as the Germans pushed the Americans out of all but one small corner of the town. Early the next morning, having been reinforced with Shermans from the 743rd Tank Battalion, the 26th Infantry tried again.
Attacker: American (2nd Battalion, 26th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division / 743rd Tank Battalion)
Defender: German (Panzergrenadier-Regiment 304 / Panzerjäger Bataillon 38, Panzerdivision 2)

2021-09-01(A) Jacob Elmqvist vs Asad Rustum German win
2021-09-01(D) Asad Rustum vs Jacob Elmqvist German winThe Americans lost after hitting the CVP cap. Two Shermans were lost to the 88 and another to Street Fighting with additional help from ATMM. The German JgPz was recalled after rolling a 6 on a repair dr. The Germans set the DC with the help of the 9-2 and destroyed a 1 hex victory building enabling the Germans to focus their efforts to maintaining one building block only. Lots of fun!
2021-01-11(A) M T vs R.S. American winAmerican firepower carried the day, though to be fair my opponent did experience some phenomenally bad luck with his rolls. The required buildings were taken by Turn 4 and as the Germans saw no way to win any back through a counterattack, they conceded the game.
2020-10-31(D) Rob MacGinley vs Fabio Mazzucchelli German winOne of the Best - very balanced
Best fight in the town I have played
Luck went probably my way and in CC this meant the CVP cap was a problem but just down to that last turn like a excellent ASL game should do
