Vendes*
*
Date: July 16, 1944*
*
Battle Location: Vendes, Normandy, France.*
*
Battle Type: Britain assault vs Germany defend.*
*
Description: The Hallamshire Battalion was selected to execute a frontal assault on the German held Vendes. Denied the request for armour support as well as the option of going in at night the battalion commander was less than thrilled about the operation.*
*
Predicting heavy losses the Hallams nevertheless went in supported by a company of the King’s Own Yorkshire Light Infantry. Historically the German resistance proved too stubborn and the British were withdrawn after suffering major losses only to find that the enemy had pulled out of Vendes the following day.*
*
Notes: If played against the AI the human player should take the British side.**
