Can the Allied effort recapture Hill 112 and escort the convoy of supply vehicles and Artillery to its summit, ready to support yet another Action on the Town of Caen. The road to Hill 112 is long and filled with German ambushes and dug in, fixed positions. There is only one route that can be taken and every CP must be captured and secured along its journey.

This is a British vs German battle but as always US players are still able to take part and will be put together as an attached US force under a US commander.

For those that wish to badge up correctly for the British its was the 43rd Wessex Infantry Division that took the main for this operation.

Leading the way is the now renowned and decorated 47 Commando, this is a woodland battle with long roads, fixed bunkers, vehicles, armour, artillery, anti-tank guns and CPs to be captured. A hard fight ahead is suspected so be ready for an epic battle. Due to the size and distance of the site you must carry all you need for a days war, there will be trucks for water on both sides.

Saturday’s battle 12.00pm will take the allies on a long journey of guts and glory to Hill 112, but the favour is on the Germans side. If the allied effort can capture the hill, there’s no guarantee they can keep hold of it. End ex will be know later than 7pm.

Sunday will be a continuation of Saturday, however, which ever side controls two of the three gun positions by 2.00pm on Sunday will take the victory!

As usual Saturday will feature a social at ‘What a Fine Mess’ with beer and grub.
