Overview:

Major General Leland S. Hobbs' 30th Infantry Division kicked of Operation COBRA with and attack near Hébécrevon. Even after the short bombing which killed over 300 American troops, the early advances gave VII Corps commander General "Lightning Joe" Collins cause for encouragement; while the Germans of 7. Armee were fiercely holding their positions, these positions did not seem to form a continuous line and were susceptible to being outflanked or bypassed. One of these positions was held by a scratch force led by Eastern Front veteran Oberst Albert Kentner-who was known as a "...good engineer, but not much of a soldier."
Attacker: American (Companies I 1nd K, 119th Infantry Regiment,30th Infantry Division and Company D, 743rd Tank Battalion)
Defender: German (Grenadier-Regiment 897, Kampfgruppe Kentner, Infanterie-Division 266)

2025-04-06(A) Indy Lagu vs Colin Jeschke German winI walked right into the teeth of Colin's defenders and
he made me pay. He played quite well and quickly
blunted my attack...I didn't really make any progress.

I would certainly play this again, and I'd like to attack
again to see if I can come up with a workable plan.
2025-02-14(D) John Garlic vs Mike Grogan German win
2025-02-02(A) nathan wegener vs Wes Vaughn American winNot much of a battle. Got a few key rolls and it was over quick. Not much there to stop the Americans.
2025-01-25(A) Larry Rohlfing vs Jim Vasilou American win
2025-01-24(D) Jason Wert vs Andy Hershey American winExcellent matchup at WO25, but gacked the setup conditions and didnt locate the dug-in tanks appropriately. However, barn burner of a scenario and finished in the last turn with the Americans escaping enough troops and tank for the win.
