I notice you've added an amber-coloured frame to 6al/6 (Caen) and 858/346 (Ouistreham).
Is this to show that they'll be out of supply on June 10th?
Darned clever...!
No, this show they are cut off from their line of supply. If out of supply the frame will be red. I will try to work out a way to show how many days of supply a BG has.
What you've done already works great. As you remind me, we don't need to show a frame unless a unit is isolated...

Isolated with 2 days supply/yellow frame
Isolated with 1 day supply/orange frame
Isolated and out of supply/red frame

Nice job P-A!

It was all part of our final stage of strategy to provoke the enemy into coming out of their hidey holes.
Unfortunately a wiser commander was in charge most of the time, and they did not fall for our "ow ow my sherman is here" tricks.
I was mostly surprised that your Sherman suddenly could be seen... :shock:

Thanks for two fun games!

I'm considering releasing aerial recon of 1 or 2 battle maps ahead of June 9th orders... which might help you to choose favourable territory for your BGs...

I'm not promising (your flights might get shot down, or your sapeurs lost) but if commanders email/PM me their requests (which maps you'd like), I'll consider 'em...

Happy planning gentlemen!
;-)
Allies have requested two recon maps for named sectors...
Would the Germans like any recon ahead of time?

Sounds good. I've received the German orders, so as soon as I get yours n Monty's, I'll publish the combined...
From the way you're both chatting, there'll be some serious fighting June 9th...

Quick reminder on bonuses...
GJS'44 Rulebook wrote:6. Allocation of Bonuses

6.1 Both sides may access bonuses which will become available to players during battles using the Battle Academy game engine.

6.2 All German battles will always enjoy the Promote bonus.
6.21 Allies can win the Promote bonus by taking any two sectors of Bayeux, Bretteville, Lebisey Woods or Bois de Bavent. Once earned, this cannot be lost.

6.3 All German battles will always enjoy the Resupply bonus so long as that BG is not considered "out of supply".
6.31 Allies can earn the Resupply bonus by taking and holding Gold, Juno and Sword beaches. This bonus can be lost if they lose any of these beaches, but it can be won back.

6.4 Germans will receive +2 Fw190G-2 fighter-bomber bonuses if they hold Carpiquet airfield. Once lost, this cannot be won back.
6.41 Allies will always receive +2 Typhoon ground attack bonuses every turn.
6.42 Neither side can use its aircraft during cloudy weather.

6.5 Germans will receive +1 Artillery bonus for each of Merville/Franceville, Hillman Battery, Cagny and Hill 112 held.
6.51 Allies will receive +1 Artillery bonus for each of Gold, Juno, Sword and Ouistreham held.
6.52 Allies will always receive +2 Naval Artillery bonuses. This artillery can fire up to two rows deep into Normandy, reaching the Vaux sur Aure to Ranville line.

6.6 Germans and Allies may nominate up to two BGs, per turn, to receive an additional Medic bonus.
6.61 Germans and Allies may nominate up to two BGs, per turn, to receive an additional Rally bonus.
6.62 Certain elite BGs, marked in red on the Orders of Battle, will always receive both Medic & Rally bonuses.

6.7 Commanders should communicate their allocation of bonuses at the end of their Orders
6.71 Bonuses are assigned to BGs, not to sectors. If there are two BGs fighting in a single sector, they receive bonuses independently. However, if one BG fights more than once in the same sector, it will receive the bonus for all of its battles during that turn.
6.72 Example Allied Orders for June 8th, including Bonuses

Movement orders have been accepted for both teams and are now fixed - No further changes permitted.

Allies, I need six more bonus assignments from you guys - Jcb, I've PM'ed you what you've left in your locker! ;-)

Allies, bear in mind that Naval arty can fire "up to two rows deep into Normandy, reaching the Vaux sur Aure to Ranville line".

Naval arty can be assigned to a BG that may be travelling deeper into Normandy, where barrages will be available for any battles within the fire zone but will not be available for battles beyond, ie. from the Bayeux to Bois de Bavent line onwards...

Hope that makes sense?
