Mortain

Mortain is an Battle in .

Overview
Forested ridges and roads run parallel through light bocage. A company of 1st Division infantry and supporting units rush to the edge of Mortain for an unexpected encounter with reconnaissance troops from the 2nd Panzer Division.

Allies
The fight has moved to the threshold of Mortain. While there are rumors of a large German force assembling east of Mortain, there is no hint of it here along the rapidly melting front lines. Our campaign through Normandy is coming to an end, and Mortain offers you one final trophy. A large forested line runs north-south. This area may be difficult to clear and is an ideal location for counterattacking German troops to cut your line of attack. Give the Germans one final push and they may fall over on their backside. It s not how you start a campaign, but how you end it that counts.

Axis
The front is a mess and the Cotentin is lost. The Americans are driving to the south, undermining the front line in the rest of Normandy. Your reconnaissance force of the 2.Panzer Division has been dispatched to Mortain to screen the assembly area for the rest of the Division and the larger Panzer Korps that is organizing to counter-attack. Hold on to the vital road junctions and the commanding high ground so that the counter-attack plan is not disrupted.
