During this crucial period the Germans had their only chance to push back the Allied invasion before the preponderance of Allied men and material made the outcome certain. During this period the US 1st Army fought across the Cotentin Peninsula and captured the major port of Cherborg while British forces took on the bulk of the German panzer divisions near Caen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach turn represents 1 day.
