Defending Normandy - Part I

I wish I told you "welcome to Normandy", commander, but this is really not the case. As you know, the D-Day or Operation Overlord, the allied invasion of France, has started the sixth of June. Only few days ago the Fuhrer has given us the authorization to use our best armoured divisions to stop the invasion, but someone believes that it is already too late. However, your corps is so powerful that a counterattack is worth at least an attempt. First you have to engage the Americans, mein freund, whose contribute in late 1940 have been decisive for the final failure of Operation Sealion. Well, now you have the chance to present the bill, commander! However you have to be extremely careful in your advance, because the Americans can put on the field all of their titanic air power. Without any escort, it will be impossible for your super-tanks to roll over the bocage!
