Flames of War: Normandy Action

The NUTS Group May Flames of War Action took place in the British Sector of Normandy, and featured a clash between a mass of British armor facing off with a mixed German defense.

On the German right, a Fallschirmjager force managed to stymie the British advance, while in the center a more armor heavy force held on against a mass of British armor and infantry.

The German left was held by light forces supported by armor, which struggled to hold of more British armor and infantry.

In the end neither force managed to hold enough objectives for a clear cut win, leaving the action as a hard fought draw.
