Marigny

Marigny is an Battle in .

Overview
A company of Panzergrenadiers and supporting tanks attempt to hold off elements of the 1st Infantry Divison attached to the US 3rd Armored Division before an Allied breakout threatens the German front line.

Allies
Marigny is our first objective after the Cobra bombardment. The north edge of the village and the main road is held by the Germans, but you have the option of advancing either left or right of this area. It would be a bold move for German tanks and troops to deploy this far forward. The region around Marigny provides a little more open country. Hedges still abound, but in between is slightly more open, maneuverable country for tanks. Use the excellent speed of your Sherman tanks to your advantage.

Axis
A company of 2.SS panzergrenadiers and a handful of tanks have been rushed into action from our reserve bivouac. The Allies have pierced the lines and our troops and tanks are called upon to stop the Americans at Marigny. If the American control the road here, there is no defensive line, and they will be able to move quickly to the west and south potentially cutting off German troops north of Avranches. There is a lot of room around Marigny to fire and maneuver. Be mindful of Jabos and concentrated enemy artillery.
