(4) Caen

“Jerry held onto Caen, tooth and nail. Every time we pushed, they clung on tighter. Every basement, ruin and bunker down every damn street was a deathtrap, and what should have been a fleeting skirmish took us the better part of a month. Wilkes summed it up best: ‘they fight like we did at Dunkirk’, he’d said. We shouldn’t have expected less.” Dense urban ruins change the pace of combat, where ambush and indirect fire are key to maintaining control. Knowing where to defend and where to assault can turn the ruins against your enemy.
