I am still attempting to upload a video about this little action. Since my 1/72 figures and viechles are back in Canada, one has to improvise.
I have thus decided to use www.juniorgeneral.org topdowns to model some actions.
The first one I decided to use was the 9th Canadian Bde. advancing off the beaches.
21 Panzer group was waiting in an ambush. Three German Panzergrenadier battalions were waiting in woods, while a lone 88mm gun and an A/A battery took on the advancing Canadians. 3 Panzer regiments of Panzer III and IV. The Panzers first blunted the Canadian advance. Drawing them in, the Germans began to quickly pick off both infantry and tanks. Eventually the North Novas were able to pin down the German machine-gunners while the Highland Light Infantry hit then in the flank. The Stromount, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders held the road junction. A pair of Sherman Fireflys eventually took out the 88mm gun. With that, the remaining Germans fell back. The Canadians capture the hill and were off beach.
