29 Let's Go   (listed as 290 Let's Go to separate from original TotH numbered scenarios) 


Grandcamp, France, June 8th, 1944: Two days after D-Day, the 352nd Infantry Division, now decimated, was
forced to withdraw in the face of an American push from Omaha Beach. The small port at Grandcamp, because of 
its importance for Allied supplies, was nevertheless defended against elements of the Rangers and of the
29th Division that came out of Pointe du Hoc. The swampy terrain was an asset to the Germans, and so was a
small stream protecting the eastern approaches to the village. Around midday, a group of Rangers were fought
off. A more powerful American attack was then prepared.

Aftermath: After a one hour naval bombardment, K and L Companies of the 116th Infantry Regiment launched an
assault with the support of Sherman tanks. The tanks crossed the untouched bridge, but one of them blew up
on a mine. The GI's were taken to task by German MG's and mortars and returned the fire. The Americans seem 
to be marking time at the edge of the village. At this point, Sgt. Peregory infiltrated the enemy positions 
and single handedly neutralized a MG nest with Garand fire and grenades. He pushed his prisoners in front of 
him, knocked out another MG nest and captured some more Germans. This exceptional action allowed the main
force of the battalion to mop up Grandcamp. Peregory would be the only man of the 116th and one of only two 
of the 29th Division ever to be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. He never learned about it: he was
killed in action 6 days later.
