Unlike the Nisei who were expected to take their objectives in the Bruyeres operation with minimal assistance, the other elements of the 36th Texas Division were sent into combat with plenty Regiment was tasked to confuse the enemy as to the division's true intentions at Bruyeres, and support the main effort to the north by advancing on Bruyeres along Highway D-44 from the southwest. Once they reached Laval they were to swing east along a secondary road and take Champ-le-Duc. The heavy fog and rain allowed them to assemble and begin their advance unobserved but prevented their planned air cover.

The advance on Laval proved costly but eventually numbers and firepower told the tale as the Texans captured the town. Following the plan, the 143rd then swung east to roll up the Germans and force their way into Champ-le-Duc. This effort proved for naught as the depleted Texans ran into frustrated and determined Germans who refused to yield further, and advance faltered. Although this diversion delivered more gains than expected, the Nisei to the north were stymied by weather, and the same stubborn resistance.

This scenario is an updated version of the "Diversion" scenario from the 1st edition of Go for Broke.
