Pretty excited for this campaign as I haven't played multiplayer in a long time. I will be taking the germans and try to contain the allies and counterattack when I can. Forgot to take in-game screens though .
Any ways, first battle was at St. Germain-De-Varreville, AB troops take on a demoralized German BG at night. Knowing the AB troops are pretty tough I decided to hold any offensive action and instead try to hold as much as I can. They started scattered with one small deployment zone at the north and another bigger zone at the north-east. The Battle started pretty uneventful as the night covered the AB tropps' movements, it wasn't until like minute 4 that the enemy showed itself though their intentions weren't clear yet, the german 5cm mortar was ordered to fire at suspected enemy locations, scoring like 5 hits in the northern part. Later a recon team was seen scouting for an approach to the tare green beach that was guarded by a lone Spähtrupp, a light skirmish ensued but as AB reinforcement were seen approaching the german scout unit was ordered to retreat, the VL was taken by the invaders.
Later a major enemy assault on the north-eastern part of the central village was attempted but they suffered many casualties, result was uncertain as time ran out before any conclusive outcome was achieved.
I think I did pretty good, with only 2 casualties, but lost the beach exit which could provide the AB of potential crucial supplies.

Action continues at the Contentin peninsula. 2 battles played this time.
St. Marie Du Mont
Ost company vs AB troopers.
Things looked grim since the beginning because I could only choose 12 units and the map was pretty big. Action started right away as the AB deploy zone was practically in the middle, I decided to left the church as I didn't see it that important right now, nevermind lacking the resources to hold it, and concentrated on forming a eastern perimeter instead, main objective was to hold at least one exit VL to allow a potential retreat being that BG's are set to not return after being disbanded in this campaign, saving them is pretty important.
After AB troops took the church, they continued their path through the southern portion of the map, overwhelming my defenses, slipping behind my lines and taking all but one road VL.
They attempted to scout the western area but where stopped on their tracks.

2nd Battle
La Fiere Causeway
German Light BG vs AB troops
OK so I finally got some Heavy firepower to try and drive the invaders of these lands. AB troops commence with two Deploy areas one major at the buildings and another small one on the exit to the left. Main objective was to reduce the small area and continue push forward hopefully disbanding them in the process. Battle started well, it seemed that there were no troops on the wet so all the forces prepared for a drive to the east, I move the R-35 light tank to the main road and a WOOSH sound is heard, I rapidly deduce that the only place that the sound could have come is a small hedgerow on the limit of the allied deploy zone, supressive fire is called upon that area and one dead soldier is confirmed, machine gun fire continues but the brave AB soldier manage to fire another extra shot, destroying the tank and severely crippling the german advance, after that the soldier is promptly reduced and the area secured.
Light skirmishes in the center, an American scout unit is destroyed up north and later in the battle a major force comprised of an HQ a rifle team and a MG team manage to secure the northern VL, destroying an sMG42 and a command team. A german spähtrupp makes a dash at the last seconds to try and grab the center VL, they lost one member but couldn't finish their objective by a couple meters.
German Tank Destroyed

Pzt_Kanov spotted an error I made in the Stratmap text file ... corrected now.
New version is 1.3
http://uploading.com/files/6fb84881/CCTLDModGroundTacticsv1.3.zip/
Unfortunately we have to restart the campaign.
So ... hooked up with RD_DD and replayed the first battle.
It didn't go so well for the Allies ... since I tried powering through a hedge of German defenses that was covered from buildings further back. Ended up expanding the main deployment zone slightly, but abandoned a small one at the other side.
Well defended by RD
