Tank Clash in Normandy: British vs. Germans in the Bocage (July 1944) Community Panzer Leader Game
Join @brucelea and I as we return to Panzer Leader, this time for a recreation of the “bocage hell” in the summer of 1944. The D-Day landings at Normandy were all well and good, but what followed was almost two solid months of some of the worst fighting ever seen on the Western Front.
German defenders, determined and well-equipped, made expert use of the “bocage” agricultural fields in the area, turning all of Normandy into a semi-flooded, channelized, fortified honeycomb of point-blank defense. Often the Allies had no choice but to drive straight into such defenses with frontal assaults.
Conversely, the Germans had to contend with a foe that outnumbered them sometimes ten-to-one and had total dominance of the air.
