le Mesnil Adelee

Pete Landry is developing a new scenario for the Mortain counterattack based on an action at le Mesnil Adelee, an NW of St. Barthelmy on 7 Aug 44. He will be running it at Fall In this fall and hopefully we will have it up on the site soon thereafter :-) Here are some pictures from a playtest. His description is:
At le Mesnil Adelee (LMA), the Northern pincer of the 2nd Panzer Division had achieved a breakthrough. When LMA was taken KampfGruppe Schacke put on the brakes! Probes across the See river to the North met heavy resistance. Also no one was following KG Schacke so he decided to hold. When US HQ heard LMA was in German hands 3rd Armored Division with help from 30th Inf. was ordered to take it back immediately. Initially air support hit the Americans. A German spoiling attack sent the Americans running. The Germans returned to the town and sat! Early afternoon the US attack got underway and did force the Germans to withdraw back east. So far the first playtest was a great success, came down to the last German morale die roll to see it they would still be in the town! Germans ran so history was not altered...this time.

Butovo Modified

Rob Wubbenhorst taught the rules to some friends of his using the Difficult Affair II scenario. After the newcomers learned the rules some tanks were introduced (PzIVs and lend-lease Shermans) on both sides so that Rob and a more experienced colleague could play too.
