Default Re: US on the left and Brits on the right
The colossal crack worked beautifully didn't it? Using the concept of 'balance' Monty pinned down german armour in the north (through a series of set-piece battles that might be a draw tactically, but served their strategic purpose) and with the german reserves comitted to battle, the US Armies could break out. This tore the defensive structure of the german front wide open, and enabeled the Great Swan.
