Introduction |
---|
While the 4th King’s Shropshire Light Infantry swung back north to drive the Germans from the Souleuvre River bridge, other elements of the 11th Armoured Division pressed on to secure the crossroads village of La Ferronniere. The tiny walled village controlled the main road between Caen and the offensive’s ultimate objective of Vire. But the Germans could also read a map. |
Conclusion |
---|
The British attack drove the defenders from the village. In response, the Germans feigned a counterattack but did not have enough remaining force to be effective. Meanwhile, the British brought up a tank destroyer platoon to bolster their forward defenses. They now had severed the German road connection between Caen and Vire. |

The "Optional Values" for the Firefly given in an Avalanche Press Daily Content piece on the 17-Pdr Anti-Tank gun (and printed on a replacement counter sheet Download) are now the Official Ratings, published in games like Cassino '44, Grossdeutschland 1946, and Indian Unity. These are: 5-5 / 8-8 Full Strength and 3-5 / 8-8 Reduced Strength. (caryn

This unit is interchangeable with the StuH 42. Technically there never was a StuG IIIh. The StuH 42 was a StuG III with the main armament replaced with a modified 105mm howitzer. The StuG IIIh and StuH 42 counters have the same values, so there is no affect on play. (plloyd1010
