Overview:

Brigadier General Norman Cota had decided to tag along on a mission to capture two bridges that the Germans might use to sever the tie between US forces in Carentan and Omaha Beach. After crossing the Vire River, the two companies encountered heavy resistance and the total force was reduced to just 80 men. Capturing the bridges was not going to be possible. Around 6 pm, as Cota’s men were digging in northwest of Montmartin-en-Graignes, reinforcements arrived in the form of 60 men from Battalion I, Glider Infantry Regiment 327 who had been probing south from Carentan. Cota decided to take Montmartin instead, or risk being slaughtered out in the open in the dark.

2018-11-19(A) Andy Goldin vs Tom Arnold German (SS) winTough loss to Tom's defending Germans. I was handicapped from the start when a sniper wounded Cota (my 10-2). Nonetheless I succeeded at pushing Tom's Germans around the map by using my superior numbers to outflank his scattered defenders. Tom consolidated around the last building on the southernmost part of the map. Although my losses were relatively small until that point, I didn't have the firepower or the dice to take it from him, leaving him in possession of the last building for the win.
2018-05-08(A) Allen Evenson vs Joe Vennarucci German (SS) winHad to make mad dash for several buildings last turn and it didn't work. Joe played great defense. (PBeM)
2016-10-26(D) Jeff B vs Pierce Mason German (SS) winAmericans couldn't crack the stellar German defenders on the northeast side of the bocage, and the western screen of half squads slowed the bulk of the American advance down just enough. A very interesting and exciting cat-and-mouse game.
2016-06-01(D) David Garvin vs James Montgomery American win
