@oriskany thanks for the reply.

That’s what I like about this sector is that it does not follow the norm of STuGs being the norm. As they say there its always an exception to the rule and here it is.

About a month after the landings a British operations command ship about cruiser size is believed to have been destroyed by a German air to surface guided missile similar to the one used to destroy the Roma after the Italian surrender.

I had a feeling that the tanks arriving on Omaha would have such a cascading effect, but not to this level.

I have notice you have posted the battle report. I look forward to reading it a bit later and bringing to @timp764‘s attention. It may help him with his must have list for WinterCon.

I have a bit of a love hate relationship with the Firefly. When it was in a mixed troop of tanks the Firefly is holding the Cromwells back. I prefer to use the speed of the Cromwells but are often put at risk keeping formation with the Firefly. The Cromwells are up to the job on getting through the side armour of most of the German tanks with exception of the Tiger and King Tigers. It is with these exceptions I start appreciate the Firefly.
