Overview:

The 175th Infantry Regiment landed on June 7 and, aided by the 747th Tank Battalion, spent all the next day and into the night fighting through Ost Bataillon 621 into a rubbled Isigny to secure its bridge over the Aure. As 9 June dawned, most of the remnants of Infanterie-Division 352 were pulling back to the south side of the Elle River with the 29ers hard on their heels. But less than two miles to the west of Isigny was another important highway bridge, this one over the Vire, that the Allies needed to link up the two bridgeheads.

2021-02-22(D) Maurizio Mai vs Steve Worrel German winVery interesting scenario, however it is very difficult for the American to advance avoiding losses and 25 CVP can be reached quite quickly with Jeeps and AFVs. The OBA (no smoke) was basically useless but for the hindrance. I would replay it as American. Maybe the balance for the American would help?
2016-03-11(A) Ian Morris vs Gary Norman American win
2015-09-20(A) Michael Rodgers vs Andre Escobedo American winAndre Escobedo and I played a FTF match of AP104 LINKUP, from AP11. I had the attacking Americans. I don’t know if we both were particularly stupid today, but ever turn or two, we read something new that we missed in the VC. First, we thought the Amis needed to exit 10 VP (vehicles not counting) and clear the Germans away from hex 72Q1. Then we learned the 10 VP needed to include a leader. Then when learned only tracked vehicles did not count. Then we learned the Germans needed to be in buildings near 72Q1 to cause the Americans to lose.


Andre is a bit rusty. He set up a lot of his defence to kill units crossing the stream. This made him quite spread out. I would have focussed more assets in around the 72Q1 area than he did. I set the Americans up strong on the left, except for a couple of units to interdict his shifting of assets.


Andre was hampered by failing more MC than he passed; one third of his troops were conscripts. The three squads near where I wanted cross the stream broke. The stream did not bog any of my vehicles, which helped me out. Then everyone shifted right to head to the 72Q1 area. Andre had his ATG on the extreme left of the American attack. He had his high point early in the game shooting, a Sherman in the rear for 6 CVP. My infantry then took care of that gun. After five turns, the Americans were well established in the centre area, the AC were poised to exit with a leader, as well as some infantry with a leader, so Andre conceded.
