Major_Johnson -> WW2 France battle question (11/4/2003 10:59:35 PM)

When in doubt, I come to the forum with the answers!! :)

Last night I had the History channel on in the background and I heard a story about a battle in France just after the D-Day landings that involved Patton's 3rd Army. It was near a French town/city named (and I'm not sure of the spelling) Mountaine. Being an admirer of the general I started paying closer attention, and it sounds like this engagement might make for an interesting scenario. So my 2nd question is just that. Has anyone ever designed up a scenario based on it? I can't remember Patton's German counter-part's name, but he was relieved of command after that battle. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Your asking about Von Kluge's Flank attack with 4 Panzer divisons and a a PZ Gren Division hitting Pattons north flank on Operation Cobra August 1944 that set up the Falaise pocket ? Mortain maybe
