A Quick Recap
Six Weeks later and we have our winners. The Allies, who had a strong start and continued steadily, were able to wrest all three of the final zones from the Axis and put themselves an insurmountable six points ahead.

The Axis forces defended with tenacity, facing down Beach landing forces in the first week in some exceptionally tough battles. With the two Beach Landing missions exceptionally tough for the defenders, the landings were successful and the ball was rolling.

Week two saw the first major German success, with the defence of Cherbourg giving the Axis their first point on the board. From there, a steady momentum looked like it might bump the Germans into the lead.

Week Three rolled around and the Axis captured two zones, Hill 122 and Mt. Pincon. Week Four gave us our first and only contested zone, Mortain, which ended the week with the same number of victories for both sides. Then in Week Five the Axis denied the Allies any points, retaining control Falaise, Lorient, and Vire. At this point, with Mortain left contested, the two sides had parity of points. It was anyone’s game.

And ultimately, the Allies dug deep and pulled off an incredible final swing of the hammer to put the last nail in the coffin of Axis defence. An exciting back and forth, plenty of movement, and great interaction between the sides made this a Campaign to remember!
