D+4: July 27, 1943*
Sainteny, France*
*
With Perriers captured, press on to link up with the British around Carentan. They have pushed to within a mile of Sainteny, but have been stopped cold by german paratroopers and tanks of the 21st Panzer Division. If you can get through, that should break the back of any German resistance in the area. If you can't, the Germans may bring up more panzer units and critically delay the linkup. Force a way through somehow, and ignore your flanks. Let follow-up forces expand the breakthrough.*
*
You will be allocated every piece of artillery the Division has managed to get ashore. We've also got the airfield at Lessay and other locations operational, and can provide some air support.*
*
Game Note: Only a major victory will take you onto the next battle.*
