Overview:

American forces dropped from the skies on June 6th were finally consolidating and receiving reinforcements and supplies. Commander of 7th Corps, General “Lightning Joe” Collins, came ashore to plant his flag on French soil. Stopping at a tank park, he told Lt. Col. Hupfer, CO of the 746th Tank Battalion, to get up and help the 82nd Airborne which might be in trouble. Hupfer, not apt to drag his feet after speaking to a corps commander, charged straight on into Ste. Mere-Eglise. As the tanks approached a hill on the road, they were taken under fire by the mobile anti-tank battalion from the 709th Infantry Division.
Attacker: American (505 Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82 Airborne Division and 746th Tank Battalion, with 8th Regiment, 4th Infantry Division)
Defender: German (Grenadier-Regiment 1058, Luftlande-Infantrie-Division 91 and Panzerjäger-Abteilung 709)

2023-01-13(A) Andy Goldin vs Arnie Shimo American winA fun, medium sized combined arms scenario from the MMP HASL about the US 82nd Airborne Division's actions around St. Mere Eglise. Arnie and I decided to play this at the 2023 Winter Offensive and had fun with it. The American player has to attack north along the paved road while clearing the hedgerows along both sides so the tanks don't get PF'd or hit by the Marder 1s. An SSR prohibits the German player from moving his 2nd line squads until they see a known enemy unit or Turn 3. The resulting low unit density on the German side provides opportunities for the American to flank German defenses, as does the reinforcement entry locations. In our game, I managed to prevent him from shifting his forces around by controlling the road which bisects the map. The US player really has to hustle to both capture the required building hexes AND exit forces off the north edge of the map. Lucky fire attacks and eliminating German units for failure to rout ran up the body count so that by the end of Turn 6 it was hard for Arnie to defend everything he needed, and he conceded.
