Overview:

Erwin Rommel, the famed “Desert Fox” had been seriously wounded on July 17th, 1944 by strafing Sptifires. After spending the 18th in the Luftwaffe hospital at Bernay, Rommel had been quickly moved to the forward HQ of the 1st SS Panzer Korps at the specific orders of Sepp Dietrich. For reasons known only to Dietrich, he wanted Rommel in his care on the 19th of July. Dietrich had Rommel placed in a Norman Cottage near his field HQ. Dietrich planned to have Rommel transported back to Germany the next day. But the French Resistance and SAS Captain Raymond Lee had other plans. Landing in a Lysander in a nearby meadow at midnight, Lee met with 100 French Resistance members. Their mission, directly from Churchill was to capture Rommel and fly him that very night to England. Someone, high up in the German command structure had revealed both Rommel’s location and that he was possibly conspiring against Hitler. The information was so credible that Churchill immediately dispatched Captain Lee with the capture order.

2025-02-13(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best German (SS) win2 hrsMy Partisans crept into the German compound, but struggled to win Close Combats even with ambush. Losses started to mount and I couldn't rally my broken Partisans. Dan immobilized both Panthers on the repair rolls, but both used their turrets effectively. Rommel was in the G13 house and well defended. My Partisans failed to take out the Germans defending Rommel and after 5 turns, I conceded as my force was too degraded to win the game. Enjoyable scenario overall.
