Liberation 1944, 2nd Ed | Base Game |
Introduction |
---|
The 1st Dorsets spent the first half of the war as part of the Malta garrison, and then took part in assault landings on Sicily and at Reggio di Calabria in Operation Baytown. Well-experienced in hitting enemy-held shores, the Dorsets managed to clear their sector of Jig Beach (the right flank of Gold Beach) quickly, then started their advance inland towards Bayeux. With the landing going smoothly, reinforcements soon arrived to help. |
Conclusion |
---|
The 1st Dorsets gathered up the ready armor and two infantry companies from the second wave and worked their way far enough to the south of Le Hamel to avoid becoming entangled in the vicious fighting there and swung west. While unable to reach Bayeux they did subdue Ryes. These accomplishments, along with the capture of Arromanches, secured the beachhead from the west. |
