Overview:

Operation CHARNOOD called for the 59th Division to join I Corps at the centre of the line between the 3rd Canadian Division and 3rd British Division. With all three divisions attacking simultaneously, assisted by massive artillery and naval support fire, the defenders, in theory, would be overwhelmed. It would be the first battle for the 59th Division. Phase II would start at 07:30 hours. This phase involved an attack by 197 Brigade on the right, with two battalions up: 1/7 Royal Warwickshire to capture St. Contest and 2/5 Lancashire Fusiliers to capture Malon; and an attack by 176 Brigade on the left with 7 Royal Norfolk to capture Epron. All of these settlements were being held by the 25.SS-Panzergrenadierregiment of the 12.SS-Panzerdivision "Hitlerjugend".
Attacker: British (Elements 1/7th Battalion, The Royal Warwickshire Regiment, 59th (Staffordshire) Infantry Division)

2022-01-01(A) Dan Best vs Dave Mareske German (SS) win
2022-01-01(D) Dave Mareske vs Dan Best German (SS) winFirst game of the year against my good friend Dan. Came down to the last CC which the Germans needed to win an ongoing Melee, which they did. The Brits got lots of SMOKE but their Turn 2 force fell apart coming into the village, but a late hero creation for the Brits turned the tables on the Germans.
2021-09-11(A) Doba Serge vs Pascal Boileau British win
2021-09-11(D) Pascal Boileau vs Serge Doba British winA short and tense game. The British troops smartly rushed to occupy the entry zone for the late German reinforcements. Meanwhile, they cleared the village of the meager German defensive units. In the last turn, I tried to reinstall a MMC in one of the keys buildings but the British fire was accurate enough to end each attempt. Congrats Serge !
2020-05-01(A) Dave Mareske vs Nathan Wegener British winDicey game for the Germans, They can't have bad rolls early. A few misplaced 12s allowed the British to overrun the positions and take the win. Called it in turn 3.
