Operation "Goodwood" 18-21 July 1944
One of the key objectives of British forces on D-Day was the capture of the strategically vital city of Caen, which was to act as a springboard for the Allied breakout in the West. Operation "Goodwood" was the final operation in a total of three major offensives to take Caen. This wargame focuses on one area of the battlefield on the second day of Operation "Goodwood", when on 19th July 32nd Guards Brigade, the infantry brigade (Grenadier Guards) of Guards Division and elements of 5th Armoured Brigade (Guards Division) attempt to take the villages of Frénouville and Le Poirier. Opposing this attack was the hasty arrival of elements of the 12th-SS Panzer Division "Hitlerjugend". The game is at platoon-level on 1:1 scale using 1:48 scale miniatures, and the "Disposable Heroes" rules system for 4 players.
