Overview:

Patton’s rush across Brittany to take the port city of Brest and fortress of St. Malo met little resistance during July. To keep the pressure on, he ordered the formation of Task Force A – a regimental-sized unit composed of the 15th Cavalry Group and the 159th Engineer Combat Battalion, but not much infantry. Instead they would be supported by the Forces Francaies de l'Intérieur Bretange. Task Force A finally encountered retreating German units of XXV Armeekorps setting up strongpoints along the highway from Avranches to St. Malo. Fearing that allowing even small German rearguard units to remain in the vicinity of St. Malo would be like “allowing a small sore to grow into cancer”, VIII Corps commander Middleton ordered emergency surgery.

2022-01-09(D) Rich Weiley vs Dave Wallace German winHad the German defender in this one. Bought mines (all converted to AT mines), roadblocks and some wire to supplement the defence. Started off badly when the M8 manoeuvred around to 79W2 and broke the 8-0, LMG and squad in W4. The unarmed jeep with HS passenger then went on a recon and found the first of my AT mines in R1 Meanwhile most of the soft skin vehicles entered via Y10 and were able to drive through and laager in the central orchard.

This suited me as the infantry gun was set up in Q2. In defensive fire and the subsequent Prep fire phase it knocked out a half track and truck, eliminating the two squad passengers. I then got greedy and malf'ed the gun on an intensive fire shot at the M20 and promptly disabled it in the the next rally phase.

US turn 2 a Hellcat bogged trying to cross the bocage hexside at U2/T1 and the second Dodge tried to force the minefield and failed.

Whereas I'd been on the receiving end of a few snakes in my last game, I dealt a few out in this game, the first coming on a 4-1 when the 347 carrying the flamethrower attempted to dismount from the M20.

Turn 3 my opponent tried to go for broke to get across the river. The bogged Hellcat extricated itself and drove across the bridge and an empty half track managed to thread its way through the minefield in R1 and head for the bridge. It survived one shot from the MMG (in N1) when it reached Q1 but the MMG retained rate and fired again at it in Q2 for a hit and a snakes on the To Kill roll to leave it a burning wreck. When the M8 endeavoured to negotiate the minefield and was immobilised my opponent conceded.
2019-12-16(A) Eric Partizan Eric vs German win
2019-12-07(A) Michael Rodgers vs Chris Meyer American / FFI winThe Americans found a whole in the defence and were able to capitalize on it with tolerable casualties. Enough units were over the river, or almost over the river, that the German conceded after three turns.
