La Fiere 0500 June 6th 1944

A textbook double flank attack went off perfectly for the US, with only 2 KIA and almost no setbacks. In just over 30 minutes the Germans were dead or surrendering. Dolan himself led the charge round the southern flank and up the stairs of Le Manoir, crushing all resistance. 

Recent rules changes helped the US who can now hide behind the hedges with greater impunity. The Germans never really got off a good shot though they did have several chances. The ability of the US to set up 3 .30 cal MG groups widely spaced and keep the Germans pinned was a big help too.
