It was 0725 hours when the landingn flotillas carrying the flail tanks and AFVs of the Westminster Dragoons and the 81st and 82nd Assault Squadrons Royal Engineers closed the beaches...the spearhead role belonged to the flails and the supporting AVREs. -- R.W. Thompson, D-Day: The Greatest Gamble History of the Second World War

XXX Corps, veterans of North Africa, lands on GOLD Beach represented by 'Fifty Div' the 50th Northumberland Division, while the Canadian 3rd Division of I Corps lands on JUNO In spite of the overlap of corps boundaries, we lump JUNO and GOLD together in hex 0910. Directly behind JUNO lays the 21st Panzer Division. This unit is Montgomery's greatest worry, but when it fails its reaction rolls, British success is assured.
The amphibious tanks land successfully on roll of 6.

Exploitation Phase

XXX Corps lands additional 15 REs in the exploitation phase, including the two headquarters of the assault divisions. The British Mulberry also arrives in the hex and begins emplacing.

The British c/m units 7th Arm XX and 8th Arm XX land with just enough MPs to overrun the cadre of the 352nd Inf XX in hex 17A:0811. The 7th Armoured advances into the hex, but the 8th Arm X stays in 17A-0910 to provide AECD/ATEC for that hex's defense.

At the end of the phase 3rd Canadian Inf XX and 50th Northumberland XX assemble. At the end of Jun I 44, hex 17A:09 10 holds:

1x 10-8 Inf XX 3 (Can)
