Overview:

In addition to breaking into the stronghold at Kerrognant, US forces also needed to capture Fort Penfield – an old five-sided fort constructed of thick earthen embankments encase in masonry wall and very typical of the numerous pre-twentieth century forts near Brest. The Fort was tasked to Major Glover Johns’ 1st Battalion, 115th Infantry Regiment. Prior to Johns’ attack, the position was subjected to a deluge the Air Corps’ new jellied gasoline bombs that would become known as napalm. Only the fanatical Fallschirmjager remained in place to defend the fort, and the bombing provided a cleared but devastated moonscape that created better fields of fire for the defenders.
Attacker: American (I/115th Infantry Regt., 29th Infantry Division)
Defender: German (Elements 2nd Fallschirmjäger Division)

2023-01-10(A) Camille Garek vs Samuel MACARI German winVery special (and interesting for he US player). I don't think the German side has something interesting to do except sit and fire.
2022-04-20(D) JP Laurio vs Ron German win
2021-11-11(D) Grant Linneberg vs javanabal radjah American winThough he didn't choose the smoke capable group, he managed to push me out of the VC building completely and set up for my reinforcements. That looked pretty impossible for me to accomplish, so I conceded this one early.
2021-02-13(A) B-E Karlsson vs German American win
2021-02-03(D) Paul Legg vs Jeff Wright German winPlayed this one PBEM. Jeff elected to go with Group B for the smoke I believe. I placed the shellholes in O5, O7, R7, S7 and W8. The trenches went in a tight group in P7, Q7 & Q8. By the end of turn 2 the germans had withdrawn in good order to the fort with 1 squad retreating slowly to slow the assaulting Americans. With no smoke for the turn 3 attack the Americans conceded. The extra -1 IFT DRM proved crucial in delaying the initial assault.
