The Americans launch their offensive to cut the Cotentin, but the resistance is strong, and on the road to St Lo, the 3FJ redeploys to fill the holes

Disaster for the defenders: after the reaction of the paratroopers, all available actions are consumed

On the road to Cherbourg the resistance was stubborn and the US did not progress.

On the other hand, the 2nd Pz had to intervene urgently to fill the gaps in the lines, but the English had acquired some space in front of them...

The English carry out 3 activations and operate large breakthroughs in the German lines!

But the panzer counter attack is brutal and 2 armoured brigades are lost

Cherbourg is attacked and will fall

For the second time, the Canadians save their positions and the entire British army...
