This will be the AAR and Saga of the GJS Campaign between British and German forces in Normandy. KG_Loki will command the Invasion Force. MarkusAur will command the Defending Force.

6th Airborne has already undergone Operation Deadstick, The capture of key bridges including Pegasus Bridge.

Now the focus shifts to Operation Neptune with landing craft approaching Gold, Juno, and Sword beaches.

50th ID (Northumbrian) smash through paltry German defenses in the morning of June 6th.

*VS* elements of

231 BDE and 69 BDE *CRUSH* the shell shocked companies of the the German 726th Battalion and the 441 (Ost) battalion.
Germans were not fully prepared for Brigade strength with armored support against spread thin companies. It looks as if the 231st has control of the road to Bayeux...

69th needs to spend a few minutes to track down a guerilla Oberleutnant who is hiding somewhere with an old Russian Pak 184/1. British command doesn't seem to have given the order to move to Creully.

Thoughts: British armour seemed much stronger than expected. German morale is low. It was very unexpected that swarms of Hampshire's would flood the fields. The order to withdraw should be given...if we can find a functioning radio.

*VS* elements of

7th Canadian Infantry Brigade and a nearly unstoppable 1st Hussars drive through a battalion from the 736th Regiment of the 716. Resistance is crushed. Crippled platoons and ad-hoc squads of Germans are seen fleeing. The battalion is disbanded.

Further along the coast another battalion of the 736th holds desperately against the 8th Canadian Infantry Brigade. The Sherbrooke Fusiliers nearly collapsed a battalion from the 736th Regiment.

Again, Brigades with armoured and naval support are able to press hard individual battalions in a 3:1 numerical superiority. The Canadians have arrived.

*VS* elements of

8th Brigade Group and 9th Brigade Group from the British 3rd Infantry Division Land with strong support from 27th Armoured BDE and 22nd Dragoons.

The OST 642 hold out with strong resistance to British superior firepower and Naval bombardment.

In order to support the 726th Regiment the nearest unit available to rush to its' aid is the 1st Battalion of the 22nd Panzer Regiment of the 21st Panzer Division.

They intersect with the Canadian 8/3 as both race to secure the Hillman Batteries.

*VS*

No pictures. Fighting Still Continues. Screen Shots after results of next battle.

151/50 Durham Light Infantry Brigade Arrive to Fight The Russians.

*VS* OST 441 Ukrainians (2 companies)

What a surprise. It looks like an armored column is coming off the beaches in column formation. OST 441 holds to fight another day.

1st Battalion of the 736th Regiment [716 ID] Tries to link up with their brothers in the 2nd Battalion. VERY Risky for these guys to ASSAULT a fully defended beach town with an Armored Brigade camped there.
