Gentlemen...
Recon flights reveal high level overviews for all four maps for June 8th.
GJS'44 Strat Map is shown in the top right corner of each battle map below.
(Don't hold military intel to exact locations of VP flags, but our spooks advise that you should encounter terrain similar to this)
OUISTREHAM
Ouistreham would have been a bloodbath for an Allied attack from the ocean.
But could a cunning Allied attack from the west be successful? How open is that road?
BURON
Buron is where Panzer Meyer's Hitlerjugend chewed up the Canadians.
However, II/736/716 doesn't have Meyer's 12th SS PzIV squadrons.
Can these recently merged survivors hold the crossing?
BAYEUX
Bayeux was actually liberated on D-Day itself, June 6th, lightly "defended by only female German typists" Allied commanders would later claim.
How will the as yet untested II/744/711 perform against the fresh might of 9/3 mech/armour brigade?
CAEN
Ding, ding, Caen, round 2... In a shock development, Allied paratroopers captured the regional city of Normandy on June 7th.
This is urban warfare extreme... where infantry delight... Can the paras hold out against a mechanised assault?
