Overview:

Colonel Robert Sink and his unit, the five-oh-sinks, were trying to break the German hold on the town of St. Côme du Mont bewteen Carentan and St. Mere Eglise. To do this he manuevered several units into a line east of the town including the 1st Battalion of the 506th Parachite Infantry. Sink realized that the men in his unit had been under constant pressure with little to no rest for 2 days and that they needed assistance breaking into St. Côme du Mont. To help his dead tired mean, he arranged for as much help as he could find including an elaborate artillery barrage in an attempt to soften the way into town.
Attacker: American (506th PIR, 101st Airborne Division)

2022-07-19(D) Vilis Pavulans vs Stephen Mackintosh German winPlaying the first game against Stephen who is a very nice opponent. Started with a pretty withdrawn defence in order to duck the OBA which worked out ok. Only one squad got hit but it broke. Americans advanced rapidly into the lower right part of the village through the orchard as expected. After that a horrible advance through smoke which broke more than half of the american force and wounded the 9-1. After that, the Americans couldn´t get their nose above the water since brokies were kept down by annoying German fire and we called it a game in the beginning of turn 4. Scenario seems very unbalanced unless the OBA happens to hit more German units.
