D+19: August 12, 1943*
St. Lo, France*
*
We've been battering at St. Lo for several days now, but we think we're close to a breakthrough. As the British hit them from the north, we are going to attack them on the flank and rear. German artillery and supply depots are south of the town, so a rapid advance from the west may unhinge the whole defense. You are in operational command of the attack. *
*
You have plenty of artillery and air support. Expect heavy casualties. Hitler has declared St. Lo a Festung - Fortress. Expect the Germans to defend it to the death.*
*
Game Notes: Only a major victory will advance you to the next battle. While the defenses are formidable, a major victory is possible. This is the second to-the-last battle of the campaign. Do not be too concerned over losses here.*
