Introduction
|
|
The Santa Fé Division had captured the key villages of Lutrebois and Villers la Bonne Eau, and along with them maps showing that the Germans planned an attack of their own using the small towns as their jumping-off points. Rather than call off their offensive, the Germans struck back to re-capture the villages and begin the planned attacks, all in one operation. Despite the clear evidence of a pending German attack, when it came in the early morning hours it took some of the American defenders by surprise.
|
|
Conclusion
|
|
Militia armor and infantry captured Villers la Bonne Eau in a confused fight, with two American companies killed or captured to the last man (the last man, Sgt. Webster Phillips, escaped under a hail of fire). But elsewhere, the Americans held and the 35th Infantry Division’s artillery deployed its new allotment of proximity-fused shells with catastrophic effects on the attacking Germans.

Additional Notes

|
SS transport counters are available as a free download from Avalanche Press. If not using these or other SS transport from other games, players should use regular German army transport as substitutes. |
Display Relevant AFV Rules
| AFV Rules Pertaining to this Scenario's Order of Battle |
- Vulnerable to results on the Assault Combat Chart (7.25, 7.63, ACC), and may be attacked by Anti-Tank fire (11.2, DFT). Anti-Tank fire only affects the individual unit fired upon (7.62, 11.0).
- AFV's are activated by tank leaders (3.2, 3.3, 5.42, 6.8).
They may also be activated as part of an initial activating stack, but if activated in this way would need a tank
leader in order to carry out combat movement.
- AFV's do not block Direct Fire (10.1).
- Full-strength AFV's with "armor efficiency" may make two anti-tank (AT) fire attacks per turn
(either in their action segment or during opportunity fire) if they have AT fire values of 0 or more
(11.2).
- Each unit with an AT fire value of 2 or more may fire at targets at a distance of between 100% and 150% of its
printed AT range. It does so at half its AT fire value. (11.3)
- Efficient and non-efficient AFV's may conduct two opportunity fires per turn if using direct fire
(7.44, 7.64).
Units with both Direct and AT Fire values may use either type of fire in the same turn as their opportunity fire,
but not both (7.22, 13.0).
Units which can take opportunity fire twice per turn do not have to target the same unit both times (13.0).
- Demoralized AFV's are not required to flee from units that do not have AT fire values (14.3).
- Place a Wreck marker when an AFV is eliminated in a bridge or town hex (16.3).
- AFV's do not benefit from Entrenchments (16.42).
- AFV's may Dig In (16.2).
- Closed-top AFV's: Immune to M, M1 and M2 results on Direct and Bombardment Fire Tables. Do not take step losses from Direct or Bombardment Fire. If X or #X result on Fire Table, make M morale check instead (7.25, 7.41, 7.61, BT, DFT).
- Closed-top AFV's: Provide the +1 modifier on the Assault Table when combined with infantry. (Modifier only applies to Germans in all scenarios; Soviet Guards in scenarios taking place after 1942; Polish, US and Commonwealth in scenarios taking place after 1943.) (ACC)
- Tank: all are closed-top and provide the +1 Assault bonus, when applicable

United States Order of Battle
| 3 Errata Items |
|
The reduced direct fire value of the SS HMG is 5-5 in Beyond Normandy and Road to Berlin.
|
|
The Units in Beyond Normandy were misprinted with a movement factor of 5. The movement factor should be 8.
|
|
|
Liberation 1944's counters are mislabeled 'PzIVF2.' The counter's ratings are correct (Armor 5, Move 8, DF 11-6, AT 6-8).
