The Canadians prepare to land:
As I'd thought most likely Andy deployed the 716th Infantry in a few groups mostly concentrated in rough terrain leaving gaps for the Canadians to move through:
Following my plan the Canadians advance as quickly as possible bypassing the German defenders and securing the towns and first objective:
One battalion of Germans threatened the Canadian supply source and had to be eliminated:
Being somewhat isolated the position was quickly taken:
The end of the initial Canadian turn results in 5 towns being taken together with the first objective. The 716th Infantry defending have been isolated though the forward Canadian tanks have also been isolated:
At this point something occurred that I had not anticipated: the German 352nd Infantry counter-attacked!
The attack went badly for the Germans:
There was now little between the Canadians and their final two objectives. It would be a while before the 21st Panzer Division arrived:
At this point Andy conceded defeat, concentrating the 716th Infantry had allowed the Canadians to bypass them while the counter-attack by the 352nd was disastrous.
As it was still quite early we decided to play again with the roles reversed, Andy taking the Canadians and me the Germans.
