Overview:

Trévières fell to American forces by 0845 hours, and the US 2nd Infantry Division pursued the retreating Germans by moving southward. Surprisingly, they faced minimal opposition, allowing them to push all the way to Cerisy Forest. The forest itself was surprisingly lightly defended by the Germans. The 9th Infantry Regiment encountered weak resistance as they traversed the forest en route to Balleroy to the east. On the evening of that day, the 1st Battalion of the 9th Infantry Regiment continued their advance to seize the Haute Littee crossroads at the forest's southwestern edge. Their progress was impeded by the Engineer Battalion of the German 352nd Infantry Division, entrenched around the crossroads.

2025-01-06(D) Dave Mareske vs Paul Works American winThe Germans protected the middle with mines and wire, but the infantry defense there quickly faltered on some simple MCs. The flanks did better and held up the advancing Americans. The German reinforcements made it in, but the leader with the FT, broke, again on a simple MC...the 8 Morale did not measure up. The Americans rolled several 2s in turn 4 and 5, getting 3 CH and turning their 9-1 leader into a 9-2 hero. Still, the Germans had a one squad chance, but needed to survive a 6 minus 2 shot. He did not.

2024-04-05(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best American winFun scenario, but certainly tough for both sides as most Bocage based scenarios are. My Americans advanced well on Turn 1 and by Turn 2 were hitting the German MLR. Dan's Germans suffered from a lot of bad rolls. This allowed the Americans to get to the victory location road hexes by Turn 3. It wasn't a picnic though as my Americans broke early and often. I had difficulty rallying which hurt my ability to exploit opportunities as Dan's broken. I would lose a Sherman to a faust and another was recalled and then hit by the 50L and knocked out. By Turn 6, I had hit 17 CVP. But I was able to break up Dan's last two assaults for the win.
2024-03-16(D) Will Willow vs Rick Reinesch American winWent to last turn. Lost by one CVP. Great game with Rick. March Madness.
