Overview:

For the 115th Infantry Regiment, their D-Day plan was to land in a subsequent wave, move inland several miles, and defend against the expected German counterattack. All plans change at the first shot, however, and the 115th was now to “mop up” the beachhead. What this actually meant was that they were to be used to attack St. Laurent, a town just behind the beach that was sure to be fortified and heavily defended. Companies E and F were the first to try and attack the town. Advancing along the road, the Americans were immediately fired at by Germans in the town church.

Attacker: American (E & F Companies., 115th Infantry Regtiment., 29th Infantry Division)

Defender: German (Kompanie 5, Grenadier-Regiment 916, Infanterie-Division 352)

2021-08-10	(A) Tom Abromaitis	vs		Draw	Solo game. Ameicans lost their best leader on snakes and the Germans created two leaders on self rallies. 'Nuff said!
2020-12-25	(A) Mark Dennehy	vs	Benjamin Steinberg	German win	The German set up forward. Two US platoons engaged while the remainder went around the southern flank, eventually looping around and breaking into the village by turn 5. The first batch of buildings fell quickly to the Americans but the advanced stalled at the T5 building and first line of hedges on the north side. Americans kept breaking as they tried to position themselves to take out the resistance. The naval guns took out the steeple in turn 5, but the MMG the German had there had broken a turn earlier and the leader had left to rally troops, making the steeple's loss not so critical. The final turn saw a frenzied American push to rout out the final defenders but US morale did not hold and a couple of German half-squads remained to claim the victory.
2020-11-20	(A) Eric Topp	vs	Peter Morris	American win	Peter set up most of his units west of hexrow S so he wasn't able to stop my US units moving quickly up to the V and W hexrows on turn 1. The "naval artillery" (SSR 2) did its job and destroyed the Steeple (eliminating a German HS and LMG) on turn 2. By turn 3, the US was putting pressure on the Germans defending the centre from both north and south of the road. The Germans were brave - they shook off a 36 FP attack and then took a 4MC with only two Pins as a result. However, the end seemed inevitable. By turn 4, the Germans only had two leaders and a squad left alive so Peter conceded.
2019-01-22	(A) O Ramaille	vs		German win	The American infantry did not have enough morale to expect win this game. Most of the men routed and failed ELR under fire. Moreover, the naval artillery was silent till the end of the game when the steeple was destroyed. But to no avail as the battle was already won by the Germans.
