General situations is not bad, Caen outer limits are holding well, the Para menace was rebuffed at Touffreville tankbattle and now they're on the defense.
Bocace below Trevieres have minor enemy activity.
However below Caretan allied forces are pushing and pushing fatigued Axis forces, we need reinforcements, luckly they're on the way.
Very little action above Orglandes-Valognes line.
