Overview:

The pincers around Falaise were closing on Paul Hausser’s 7. Armee and by the third week of August there were very few routes of escape left. One such possible route was at the village of St. Lambert along the Dives river, which was little more than a stream. Nonetheless, the few bridges capable of carrying vehicular traffic became very strategic, and one of the last was located at St. Lambert. A small but speedy mixed force from the Canadian 4th Armoured Division under command of Major David Vivian Currie was dispatched on 18 August to seize the bridge – if they could.
Attacker: Canadian (South Alberta Regiment and 29th Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment, 4th Armoured Division)
Defender: German (Infanterie-Division 353 and Panzer-Division 2)

2024-05-10(A) Jack Wilson vs Gary Fortenberry German winAnother FnF loss. I opted for a mass attack from the south. Got my infantry force in position to assault the VC buildings by turn 3 (hopefully under the cover of vehicle smoke). Unfortunately, I was a little too sloppy with my armor and gave up some unnecessary shots. I lost two to his 88, one to a PF, and one to his MTR. CVP reached- game over on T4. In hindsight, the better attack plan would have been to attack from at least two directions. Another lesson learned too late.
Gary is a great player and a real gentleman. I enjoyed the beatdown!
