(Thread. Context: testing ‘Fury in the Hedgerows’, an introductory #chainofcommand game I’m hosting for any interested beginners at #VirtualLard6).

Date: 13 June 1944.
Location: 1.5km SW, Carentan, Normandy.

Terrain: Bocage, fields, small tree-lined stream, farm outbuildings.
Following pre-Hr fires at 0530, the lead elements of I/SS.PzG.Regt.37. cross their start lines heading towards Carentan leading the German efforts to retake the crucial town. Deploying from the left flank JOP, the Schwerpunkt forms up around 2 PzGrenadier sections, SL & Pzshrek.
Almost immediately the lead Zug comes into contact with elements of 506th PIR, 101st US Airborne. A .50 cal HMG position is well sited, covering the Bocage-lined lane. This will provide a solid fulcrum point for the US platoon as the firefight develops.
