D+6: July 29, 1943*
Perriers, France (3)*
*
We expect another attack tomorrow. It is critical that we hold Perriers. Not only is on the main road linking US and British forces, but if it is lost, that will compromise the drive on Cherbourg. Our job is to hold at all costs, to give those divisions the time they need to capture the port. Our supply lifeline and the success of future operations will depend on it.*
*
German tanks and halftracks have been spotted on the Coutances-Perriers road, at least a company, so expect at least one attack to come from that direction. You will some air support, and the regimental 105s for support. A German air attack hit the Division's artillery battery and its out of action for now.*

Game Notes: The ROUNDHAMMER campaign is about to take a distinct turn. From now on you are going to face significant German armored and mechanized forces, including SS formations. A draw or worse here will end the campaign.*
