1 D-DAY THE CANADIAN PUSH ON CARPIQUET AIRFIELD HISTORICAL EVENTS At 0745 hours on 7th June 1944 the Canadian 9th Infantry Brigade resumed their push inland from Juno Beach. The Stuart tanks of the Sherbrooke Fusiliers led the way followed by C Company of the North Nova Scotia Highlanders. The other three companies of Highlanders followed, riding on the Sherbrooke Fusiliers Shermans. Initial progress was good and by 1150 hours Buron had been reached and by 1300 hours C Company had entered Authie and the Stuarts were in Franqueville. Most of the tank riding infantry dismounted between Buron and Authie and continued the advance on foot. By now the Canadian advance had extended beyond the range of any supporting artillery fire. Unknown to the Canadians they had run straight into elements of the newly arrived 12th (Hitlerjugend) SS Panzer Division. Their advance crossed the path of a well concealed 2nd Battalion SS Panzer Grenadier Regiment 25 and the Panzer IVs of the 6th and 7th Companies of. These units maintained superb fire discipline and allowed the Canadians to pass. When the Shermans passed Franqueville they were engaged and counter-attacked by Panzer IVs of the 5th Company, artillery and SS Panzer Grenadiers from the 3rd Battalion. The other German units broke cover and joined in the battle. The Canadian infantry tried to reach Authie but were overrun as were their colleagues in C company that had occupied the village. The Sherbrooke Fusilier s CO, Lieutenant Colonel Gordon, requested help from the rest of the 2nd Canadian Armoured Brigade but none was forthcoming. They withdrew to their starting position. It was a costly day for both sides, the Sherbrooke Fusiliers lost 21 tanks and the North Nova Scotia Highlanders sustained 242 casualties. The Germans lost nine Panzer IVs and suffered 300 casualties. This was Hitlerjugend s first action and they had acquitted themselves well. Although the Germans were unable to capitalise on their victory and press on to the coast it was to be another month before the Allies would recapture this area. The Canadians, on the other hand, performed very badly. Tank/ infantry co- operation left a lot to be desired. The other two infantry battalions in 9th Brigade were not committed to the battle in support of their comrades and most tanks of the 2nd Armoured Brigade ended the day without firing a shot. THE WARGAME SCENARIO The Canadians must capture Franqueville to win. Any other result is a German victory. The table is 11' x 5'. The Germans have two battalion groups for morale purposes. The Canadians have an infantry battalion and five squadrons (, 3 x Sherman squadrons and the Stuart recce troop) for morale purposes. The next two pages (2 and 3) are the Canadian briefing. Pages 4 and 5 are the German briefing. If the game is being played with new players the umpire may wish to withhold the relevant brifing from the opposing players to enhance the surprise factor. The scenario is played with Rapid Fire! basic rules are used with the addition of aircraft from the advanced rules section. There is no restriction on the number of moves.
2 CANADIAN BRIEFING All Canadian troops are regular. The order of march must be followed as the troops advance along the road from Buron to Franqueville. No movement off this road is permitted until either the first elements have passed Authie or an element has been fired on. The Canadians Sherman counts as an air link vehicle and may request support from from a rocket armed Typhoon fighter bomber (see advanced rules 15.4 and 15.12).
