Serious things coming on this turn 8 ! I lost my 2 17-pdr AT gun near “pegasus bridge”.
The company “Coup de main” progress to the west through field.
The 7th maintain position on Benouville, and tak care of the Germain who arrive to the north “Canal de Caen”.

The 13th must take car of the germain who arrive on their back near Anfreville !

NB :


I have some HQ who are "Out of Command". 
Do you have some advice to avoid this fact ?





Combats looks hard near “Herouvillette” and “le Mesnil”, where 44Pzgrenadier Zug (hundred men !) are waiting for fighting !
The 9th try to go down to Bavent.



On the South, The 8th Parachute Bn go west and is near SMN (Société Metallurgique de Normandie) Steel Work at Colombelles, a great still mill, but during war they making Bombshell and so she was bombed by British Bombers.
In 1943, only 900 workers are here (4000 in 1938 !) and the last high furnace was closed on 1942.
I Imagine the Paratroopers, when they saw this long chimney, and arrive near this old, partially destroy industrial complex !

Now it is time to see Victory Dialog !

For this turn the losses are :

-47 men and 4 guns for me
-104 men, 3 guns and 1 vehicles for the Axis

A good ratio for me !

The next hour the Beach landing will coming !
