Overview:
In addition to breaking into the stronghold at Kerrognant, US forces also needed to capture Fort Penfield – an old five-sided fort constructed of thick earthen embankments encase in masonry wall and very typical of the numerous pre-twentieth century forts near Brest. The Fort was tasked to Major Glover Johns’ 1st Battalion, 115th Infantry Regiment. Prior to Johns’ attack, the position was subjected to a deluge the Air Corps’ new jellied gasoline bombs that would become known as napalm. Only the fanatical Fallschirmjager remained in place to defend the fort, and the bombing provided a cleared but devastated moonscape that created better fields of fire for the defenders.Attacker: American (I/115th Infantry Regt., 29th Infantry Division)
Defender: German (Elements 2nd Fallschirmjäger Division)

| 2021-11-11 | (D) Grant Linneberg | vs | javanabal radjah | American win | Though he didn't choose the smoke capable group, he managed to push me out of the VC building completely and set up for my reinforcements. That looked pretty impossible for me to accomplish, so I conceded this one early. |
