Runyan99 Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Inspired by my recent trip to Normandy and two visits to the village. Get it here http://www.dragonlair.net/combatmission/ Title: Lingevres Type: Static Operation (Allied Attack) Date: 14 June 1944 Location: Lingevres, France Region: France (CMAK Italy) Weather: Warm, Clear, Dry Terrain: Farm and bocage Battles: 5 Turns: 25+ Night: None Author: Cory Runyan Background: Lingevres lies 7 miles south of Bayeux, on the D13 just west of Tilly-sur-Seulles. On 8 June 1944, the Panzer Lehr division, one of the strongest and best armored divisions in the German army, arrived in the area to hold the town. On 14 June the 151 Infantry Brigade of the British 50th (Northumbrian) division, was ordered to take Lingevres and the village of Verrieres to the north. The 151 Brigade consisted of three battalions of the Durham Light Infantry 6,8, and 9 D.L.I.; tough Geordies, many of them from northern mining families. In this attack, the task of taking the town of Lingevres fell on the 9 D.L.I., supported by the tanks of A Squadron of the 4/7 Dragoon Guards. This operation covers the action on 14 June, when the 9th Battalion Durham Light Infantry attempted to take, and hold, the village. Author's Notes: This operation is based upon a particular engagement. I tried to make it as historical as possible, but I am sure there are some inaccuracies. Feel free to contact me, if you want to discuss the finer points of the historical engagement. This operation features a combined arms battle on a map 2km by 3km. It is intended for 2-player play, but could be played as the Allies against the AI. This operation simulates one full day of action. There are no night battles.

Runyan99 Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 Oh, and another of my CMBB operations "Yamuga" has been upgraded to version 1.1 and should be better for 2-player play. Consider it "tested". Also available at the Depot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
