OPERATION GOODWOOD 1944
By Jim Wallman
Leeds Royal Armouries - Saturday 8 October 2011
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 a d modified variant of the free OpCom map wargame rules..
A typical divisional player team is composed of three players - Commander, Ops Staff officer and Intelligence Staff Officer. Higher headquarters at Army or Corps level have larger teams with additional roles. Why not form a team with your friends?
At present we have vacancies for players at the 8 October game on the following teams
- British High Command Team
- British Divisional Teams
- German High Command Team
- German Divisional Teams
Visit the Last War website for more details on the game and current vacancies
