DAY 1 TURN 1

WN 4/716th INF DIV vs 3rd PARA BDE/6th AB DIV

Merville Battery

I decided to go with another tactic than that I use against AI, so instead of garrisoning the battery, I spread my forces to cover both ends of the road. West had the road to Pegasus bridge, in the East a possible staging point for Arc's future ops in the area. My saving grace was the two 20mm flak guns I had in this sector, that coupled with few MG34's managed to stop Arc's assault on the two flags without own casualties. After the first engagements, we harrassed each other with mortars and eventually decided to truce this one; I had no troops to counter-attack and Arc was pinned down in his landing zone.
