📖 About This Game

The decisive battles around Arracourt commenced on 15 September 1944 when elements of the German 15th Panzer Grenadier Division clashed with the reconnaissance units of the USA 2nd Cavalry Group. After initially withdrawing, the Germans again advanced near the town of Luneville, with the 111th Panzer Brigade committed as reinforcements. Caen was the objective of the British 3rd Infantry Division on D-Day due to its position on the Orne River and its roll as a road hub for the area. Many famous units saw action in the conflict including the British 7th Armored Division (the “Desert Rats”) and the German Panzer Lehr and 12th SS Panzer Divisions.
