Overview:

The first day of Operation Cobra met with only limited success. The 9th Infantry Division was supposed to clear through to Marigny, whereby the 1st “Motorized” Infantry Division was to break through. The 9th Infantry Division was only able to get forces as far south as Montreuil, and German forces were not cleared and still remained throughout the area. It was decided that the 1st Infantry Division would be the force to attack Marigny. The attached CCB, 3rd Armored Division and the 18th Infantry Regiment would spearhead the attack on the second day.
Attacker: American (Elements of 3rd Battalion, 18th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division)
Defender: German (Remnants of Panzergrenadier Regiment 901, Panzer Lehr Division)

2023-09-14(A) Jack Wilson vs Ken Walsh German winWith the Americans needing to capture 12 of 15 buildings in 6 turns, AND up against 15 FS (five of them 5-4-8s) with 7 MMG, 5 FH, 8 Dummy ? and being able to set up the rest of the OB concealed, not to mention all the +3 stone buildings and Bocage TEM ... this one was a pretty tall order for the Americans.

As usual, Ken played flawless defense, taking full advantage of skulking to take the edge off my overwhelming FP in his half of the turn while presenting me with multiple bad D1F situations in my half.

Still, the Americans managed to capture 9 buildings with at least a (long) shot at capturing 2 more in CC by the end of the game. The last building was a building too far as evidenced by all the GI bodies piled up at the doorstep on T6.
