Normandy June 6, 1944 Canadians push inland.

The Canadians have been successful in their assault on JUNO beach but are now racing towards Caen. The Canadian 7th and 9th Brigades are to take two villages. They have tank support and some jeeps but their universal carriers and half tracks have not arrived yet.

The Germans are holding their positions with a tank unit and infantry.
The German units consist of members of the 21st Panzer Division.

This time, the Canadians meant business! They hit the Germans with a prelimary bombardment which softened them up, then rushed their lines with many units. The 9th Brigade, took casualties on the second round from the Germans.

The third turn, the Royal Canadian Artillery blasted the Germans again.
However, the Germans do have a few more armored units than the Canadians so all may not be lost on the German side.

While the Canadians closed in on their objectives, the Germans flanked the 9th Brigade inflicting sever casualties on the North Novas, the HLI and the SDGs.

The 7th brigade has fared better but is barely hanging on to their objective
