Overview:

The armored forces were committed on the second day of Operation Cobra, and 2nd Armored Division made significant gains. The following day the armored forces were racing through the German rear lines, as they had been given the directive “speed over caution”. The 2-22nd Infantry Battalion, 4th Infantry Division was part of TF 2-66. On 27 July they initially met little resistance other than a couple of isolate pockets, and Canisy was abandoned by the Germans. The advancing Americans met some stiff resistance after passing through le Mesnil Herman. German infantry was hidden in the bocage and two Panther tanks awaited their prey.
Attacker: American (Elements of Task Force 2-66, CCA, 2nd Armored Division)

2024-12-16(A) David Garvin vs Nick Faryna German winCame to the last turn (and no US tanks left!) But full of ASL goodness. Examples:
A US 666 took out a Panther in CC.
Another US 666 took a 4-2 Firelane Shot (in desperation) and in the ensuing MC, rolled 1, 1. Result? HOB and Hero Creation!

Didn't matter. In the end, I needed one more hex held by a broken Conscript Squad. Great game!
2021-02-20(D) John Garlic vs Ted Wilcox German win[Imported from ROAR]
2021-02-12(A) Will Willow vs S. Anderson German win
2021-02-03(A) Andy Goldin vs David Ready German winI lost two Shermans to hidden PSKs and a third to a lucky Panther shot but got to the victory buildings in time to seize all of them, driving away his infantry. A chancy 'sleaze freeze' of his concealed HMG allowed me to surround and capture the squad, which withered at my point blank firepower. I even managed a lucky kill a Panther in CC on the last game turn. Unfortunately he left a HIP HS on the upper level of Q7, and I didn't think to clear the building by declaring a "mopping up" so he eked out a win..
2020-08-16(A) Richard Jenulis vs Rob Wirthlin German winCascadia 2020 Summer Offensive (R2) VASL. Last turn, but not even close.
