I'm not sure how much support I will get with this project but here goes;
I want to map The Battle for Bourguebus ridge. Bourguebus ridge was a heavily defended gunline southeast of Caen roughly 3km away from Cagny. After Caen was secured mixed allied forces drove an attack onto the Bourguebus gun line. Heavy bombardment of the line took place before the attack went forward. Fortunatly for the Germans, the large majority of the AT (88mms) and Artillery (Nebelwerfers) were still intact and useable. The allied advance went forward, sustaining many casualities. When they finally reached bourguebus they encountered a German armored couter attack by the 1ss Panzer division. This made the battle for Bourguebus ridge a large scale tank engagment. (Very breif overview)
The map will focus on 3 areas. The British, comprised mainly of shermans and fireflys start in the south of Bourguebus. The brunt of the German armor, 101/503 Heavy tank battalion start south of La Hogue.
The germans start with La Hogue and a small line of broken resistance. The British can quickly use their armor to capture Tilly la campange. Undecided about other flags. But will probably be junctions along the road.
Only problem. I am a terrible mapper. Would anyone take me under there wing, or even better
Help in the creation of this map?
I'll post some of my plans soon!
