I have the boardgame of the battle. It's called Operation Dauntless. I don¡¯t know how accurate it is but I'd be happy to summarise the German forces if it helps. Kind regards Andrew Holmes

As Andrew has noted there is a board game from 2015 designed Mark Mokszycki and published by GMT Games on Operation Dauntless/Martlet. One of the other lads at the old club had the game and talked about it when we were playing the CoC campaign. I¡¯ve just looked it up. This game covers company sized actions between elements of the 12th SS Panzer Division (Hitler Youth) and Panzer Lehr and the British 49th Infantry Division (The Polar Bears) near Caen during Operation Martlet/Dauntless.

Tom, Make sure you have a look through his photo tour of the battlefield. Gives a very good idea of how close the terrain would be. Allan.

Breaking the Panzers by KevinBaverstock is worth reading if you're? interested in op Martlet. Goes through the action on an hour by hour basis. On Wed, 17 Feb 2021 at 19:39, Allan Doran via <ajd_1204=[email protected]> wrote:

I've ordered the book at ?23. Just a thought here and it might just be me but ...... would this set of interlinked operations not be ideal for an O Group scenario/campaign? I've played the Martlet/Dauntless PSC in CoC, but the wider action may well be suited to a battalion plus action. Allan.

An excellent suggestion Allan. I've seen the expanded versions of the scenarios for "29 Let's Go" and thought that several PSCs would bear scaling up.

Of course, this requires a campaign supplement for O Group. I'm sure one will be out by Easter.? My coat? But it's cold outside. :-) Kind regards Andrew Holmes
