Overview:

The second day of Operation COBRA had the American VII Corps' launch it armour phase. The VII Corps' tanks were to break through the gaps in the German lines blown opened by bombardment and held by the infantry, then drive across the Cotentin Peninsula, cutting off the German 77., 91., 242. and 353., Infanteriedivisions and the 2.SS-Panzerdivision "Das Reich". The American VIII Corps was to tie down the Germans to prevent their disengagement and withdrawal before the completion of the VII Corps envelopment. On the VIII Corps' left flank, the US 8th Infantry division met strong small arms and mortar fire at once from atop the hills south of the Ay River.

2021-12-27(D) Paul Works vs Dan Best German winThe two German heavy weapons are powerful and have good fields of fire. the Americans must establish a firebase where they can break the units in the forward German positions (likely Trench-occupied) on the hill in the back. U.S. must use their mortars to try to get decent ROFs to hit those same, and secondary, trench locations on that ridge.
2021-10-08(A) Eric Partizan Eric vs German win
2020-10-10(A) Dave Mareske vs Paul Works German winThis one is tough on the Americans. The German's HMG found lots of ROF on turn five and broke most of the American squads. The highlight of the game was an American, wounded 6+1 leader was able to get into the trenches on the level 3 hill, forcing a couple of units to route. We both agreed that this might be better if it was changed to 5 1/2 turns rather than giving the Germans the last half turn.
