Introduction |
---|
On the first day of Operation Cobra the U.S. 9th Infantry Division received the task of securing Marigny and the surrounding high ground. After studying the maps, Corps Commander Manton Eddy concluded his boys of the 9th — his former command, and considered by some the best-trained American infantry division — were in for a tough day. |
Conclusion |
---|
Despite another short drop by American bombers Operation Cobra went on more or less as planned. General Eddy quickly replaced his spearhead formations that had been devastated by the "friendly" bombing. Men like Captain Matt Urban, who escaped from a hospital despite a serious leg wound, led their men forward. Though still far short of Marigny, the Americans pushed a mile beyond the Periers-St. Lo road before digging in for the night. |

The M18 has a special rule in Battle of the Bulge but it applies globally: "A two-step M18 unit can fire one anti-tank shot and move half its movement allowance (retain fractions) in a single impulse. The order in which it does these two actions is the player's choice." (Shad
