When my computer died the other month I lost the scenario work I was doing around Joe's Bridge. Meanwhile my Operation Windsor work hit a few map making snags so that's on hold for a while. The good news is they aren't completely gone from my to do list.
However this is another engagement I wanted to try and replicate in Combat Mission for a while now do rather than retreading old ground I put this to the front of the list. 'Three patrol Action' in the hamlet Fournel, south east of Foucarvile on the evening of D-Day. I plan to get a scenario with as accurate forces as possible and also a blank QB map.
A few guiding principles-
- Next to no off map support
- Few Airborne forces means placement is key
- (Possible) 'Hide and Seek' Objective. If you know the history of the engagement you know what I'm talking about.
Pics and video of work done so far...
Ambushed 88 AA Gun and halftrack.
Hamlet from the south west
Farmhouse and Pig Trough
From the north east.

Any help appreciated. Especially if you have anything on the Germans during the engagements round Foucarville or any information on Charlie Company 502nd. In particular the quality of the officers.
Cheers all.
