Death Ride Normandy: Gold Beach

The British 50th Infantry Division, landing to the west of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division, made good gains on D-Day and looked like it would be able to advance on Bayeux on the 7th without problem. After consolidating for the night the British moved out smartly in the morning to the south along the road toward Bayeux. For the 2 days they would make some headway, and then be stopped cold for weeks by Panzer Lehr, possibly the best Panzer Division in the German Army. The fight between these 2 divisions would become legendary during the campaign and filled with vicious combat. —description from the designer
