Overview:

The follow-on to Operation Bluecoat was Operation Blackwater. After the capture of Mont Pincon, the 50th Infantry Division attacked through the 43rd Wessex Division to secure the road south of Le Plessis Grimoult and to clear Conde. The East Yorkshires attacked on the 10th to seize Point 229 and Saint Pierre-La-Vieille, but determined enemy resistance stopped them short of their objectives. The same mission fell to the 15th Battalion, Hampshire Regiment supported by Sherman tanks of the 13/18th Hussars, who resumed the 50th Division's attack the next morning at 1100.
Attacker: British (15th Battalion Hampshire Regiment, 50th Infantry Division and 13/18th Hussars, 8th Armoured Brigade)
Defender: German (Luftwaffe Field Division 16 and Schwere Panzer Abteilung 503)

2024-10-10(A) Michael Rodgers vs Philippe Briaux German winIt was too easy for the 2 Tigers to set up adjacent and HD in the village. More than half of the German infantry was protecting them. The remaining Germans held the hill until the end of the last turn.
2024-03-15(D) nathan wegener vs Randy Shurtz German winHid Tigers in village. Defended the hill with most of the infantry.
Attack fizzled with a couple of malf’d Shermans and some resolute Krauts passing MC’s. MM2024
2024-03-15(D) Kermit Mullins vs Richard Burton German win2024 March Madness Round 1.
2024-03-12(D) Dave Mareske vs Paul Works German winA nicely balanced scenario with combined arms. The final Tiger withstood over 9 AF shots against it's HD status, not able to secure a turret hit. The final CC proved unlucky as well as the squad and leader rolled an 8, the following sN shot broke or pinned the rest. A great game that came down to the final rolls.
