The article "Hell in the Hedgerows: What U.S. Troops Faced in Normandy" by Tom Laemlein, published on The Armory Life, discusses the intense challenges faced by U.S. troops in the Normandy campaign during World War II. After successfully landing on the Normandy beaches, Allied forces encountered the Bocage country’s dense hedgerows, which had not been anticipated in planning. These natural and man-made escarpments created formidable defensive positions for German soldiers. German forces utilized numerous tactics, including the use of machine guns like the MG 42 and MG 34, mortars, anti-tank weapons such as the Panzerschreck and Panzerfaust, and snipers. U.S. troops had to adapt quickly, employing bulldozer tanks, hedge-cutters, and innovative tank-infantry team tactics to overcome these obstacles. This led to gradual gains that eventually opened the road to Paris, showcasing both the ingenuity and resilience of U.S. forces in their efforts to break through the German defenses.

Locations in Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord -- the Castle, the Adventurer's Inn (Visa and Mordorcharge accepted), the Temple of Cant where dead adventurers can be raised for a fee, and Boltac's Trading Post which has a monopoly on adventuring gear. (Will McLean illustrations from the game manual, Sir-Tech Software, 1981) In actual game play each of these is a short text menu, with commands input by single letters, so the manual illustrations and text help suggest a more detailed world.
