Product Description
The tankers of the 66th Armoured Regiment had landed shortly after D-Day, and had been grinding through the interminable hedgerows ever since.
"Driver halt". Braddocks Sherman rocked to a stop, the barrel of its hull MG panning side to side. Braddock dismounted and met up with his counterpart from the infantry. Braddock had just begun to unfold his map when the cry of "Panzers!" could be heard. He scrambled back up the hull and dropped down into the turret hatch, grabbing the ear-phones to clamp over his ears. "Up to the corner - fast!" Switching to the platoon net, he directed Felder and Lee commanding his other tanks to cover the infantry against the enemy assault. The experienced tankers positioned hull down, waiting for the enemy.
A foot slogger yelled that there was an enemy tank advancing down the lane. Braddock rotated his turret to face the flank. "We're going to race through the intersection. Shorty, take the shot as we pass. Glover, get some speed up and take us through." Engine thundering at high speed the Sherman sped past, the 75mm gun firing as they did. Braddock saw the enemy tank firing as well before they passed out of sight. A column of black smoke and and bright flame shot into the air above the hedgerow. MG fire stuttered from the flank, as the enemy assault engaged. "Move up to the wreck - lets see if we can surprise them."
Small groups of enemy infantry were advancing towards them, using the trees and hedges lining the lane as cover. Braddock unlocked his .50 cal machine gun and began firing short bursts, the turret co-axial joining in moments later. As bodies began to fall, the enemy infantry scrambled back. A bolder grenadier unslung a Panzerfaust and knelt down to take a shot. Two streams of tracer fire converged on him, flinging the body back, as the Panzerfaust clattered to the ground. "Not today! Not this time!" Braddock shouted, as the shell casings rattled down the hatch causing Shorty to start cursing in colorful and inventive ways.

US Army Deal - Late War
A really great deal, considering everything you get. Its basically 6 kits for the price of 2-3 kits, and everything in the box is good for an American player. Honestly, two of these would be a great base for an army. I am adding mine to the American half of Hit the Beach, personally.
