Introduction

News that more German panzer divisions had appeared on the Mortain front caused Maj. Gen. Leland Hobbs of 30th Infantry Division to redouble the efforts to relieve the troops on Hill 314. With reinforcements from 12th Infantry Division and 3rd Armored Division, Hobbs’ troops made a new attempt to seize the crossroads American maps identified as RJ278 and relieve the pressure on Hill 314.

Conclusion

Breaking with American doctrine, VIII Corps had parceled out two companies of Sherman tanks from 3rd Armored Division’s Combat Command B and placed them under 30th Infantry Division’s command. Despite the extra firepower, the Americans could not secure the crossroads as fighting would rage here for days to come. The SS militia in this sector was well-experienced and eager to fight and die for their supreme leader, no matter how foolish his ideas.

Additional Notes

Counters from Black SS may be used in place of those for Dishonor Before Death.
