#150: Operation Cobra
25-30 July 1944, St Lo, Operation Cobra. Large, Allied Human vs. Axis A/I or HTH scenario. With Montgomery's Operations Epsom, Charnwood and Goodwood all failing to crack the German line and Axis panzer reinforcements headed toward Caen, Bradley decides to unleash Lightning Joe Collins VII Corps against a small portion of the German Line just west of St. Lo. The area covered by the map is the area cleared by the U.S. 1st Army prior to 1 August 1944 (when Patton's 3rd Army officially became active). The carpet bombing began at 09:36 a.m. and the assault at 11:00 a.m., so the scenario begins at 10:00 a.m. To follow the historical plan first hit the area just west of St. Lo with all of the air strikes (Panzer Lehr's area) and then attack to breakthrough. I will say in my playtesting several other avenues/axises of attack do present themselves. I will be honest, due to some personal difficulties right now, the OOB is not as throughly researched as I like when I design a scenario. If anyone who is a fan of this campaign can improve the OOB and set up, by all means please do so! Enjoy!
