Operation Goodwood was an attack launched on 18 July 1944, by the British army to the east of the city of Caen with three armoured divisions, supported by a British corps on the eastern flank and a Canadian corps on the western flank.

When Operation Goodwood came to a close on 20 July, the armoured divisions had broken through the initial German defences and had advanced 7 miles before coming to a halt in front of the Bourguébus Ridge.

Some have called it the largest tank battle that the British Army has ever fought.

This operational megagame pits Divisional and Corps staffs against each other in an intense pitched battle over the French countryside. We will be using an updated variant of the free OpCom map wargame rules that were used for the last Operation Market Garden Megagage played in Nijmegen in 2004.
