Three minutes into the battle i make contact with the enemy....A german sniper unit which doesn't give me to much warnings before putting a bullet in the head of one of my leading men.
The good news is it seems it's the only german unit defending the area so i should be able to advance rather smoothly.
My units continue to advance while providing covering fire (via target area).
This is quite a pesky sniper. It kills two other of my men,but in the end i manage to drive a squad in an universal carrier towards a gap in the bocage and flank the enemy unit.
End result: the two snipers are dead for the price of 3 of my own.
With the sniper team gone,the next step is to occupy the buildings west of the objective.Again,i encounter light resistance-just a half squad-quickly killed by a 95mm HE shell delivered by my Churchill. Not before claiming the lives of my two scouts sent to investigate the building.God,i hate the german SMGs!
With that half-squad gone i occupy the complex and deploy my men for the assault on Pulpit.
