Hill 278

Hill 278 is an Battle in .

Overview
The US 1st Infantry Division's offensive toward Mateur continues through the rugged hill country north of the Tine valley. A major strongpoint blocks across the spine of an east-west ridge now blocks their advance.

Allies
The farm in the southwest is your only stronghold to coordinate a cross country attack to take Hill 278. This rocky terrain will be slow going and provide the enemy with too many opportunities to dig in. That is your advantage. With supporting tank destroyers you will have the opportunity to attempt a flanking maneuver through the rocky terrain or along the road to the north.

Axis
American infantry will press the attack to take Hill 278 or flank to the north along the road. While our defenses may be wearing thin, a small reserve of supporting armor is now available for support. Moving tanks over hilly, rocky terrain is never ideal, but the road may provide an ideal path to launch a combined arms counterattack.
