Or only those flags that were held before the last enemy unit died? I need to decide whether to go with a naval barrage that might (accidentally) kill the last few enemy units before I can take the last flag... Otherwise, I've got to do it the old fashioned way... ???

If all units in a side are kia, map is automatically taken (all flags included, although flags have not been taken)

I discovered when a side surrender because af all units kia, during replay video we can press k key to recount casualities

Thanks G, That makes it very clear!

Bonuses: Do either side, Germans or Brits, get artillery June 6th PM?

For June 6 PM British side has 3 Typhoon and 6 25pdr chits. Germans have 4 artillery.

Remeber all chits remaining after PM turns are lost.

Can we allocate some bonuses to our Airborne BGs from June 6th PM? I figure they weren't allowed them first turn, because they landed in the dark, so no chance to spot and pass accurate targeting instructions... But once they continue on in daylight, bombardments become possible... and, the German H-morale units will be allowed access to German artillery from June 6th PM, right? Pretty please

Man, I thought I looked everywhere! Well hidden. What was it? Ruskie Ost unit obviously, right?

@Granfali, Hey from emails back and forth with Al and Mike, am realising that it makes sense to have at least one German player in US time zone... Something for next time?

If a BG has less than 10 units... How is the core selection for its next fight made?

Do you plan to take 1 infantry, 1 transport, 1 armour, 1 support, then 1 infantry again, etc... until you've filled the number of units in the BG...

Any US player?, I don't know anybody.

If there isn't infantry I'll take support units, if there aren't armors then I'll take infantry. It is really difficult to cover all possibilities. There are a lot of them. In every case I'll try to select the best options (IMO), for example if play vs armored battlegroup, I`ll try to put ATG, and InfAT, if the opponent is an infantry battlegroup then more mortars, hmgs...
In these out of common situations you have to confidence on me, can not write a rule that includes dozens of possibilities.

no problem i trust you.
I think that this campaign is a very good excuse to have some fantastic games together
If all maps are like the first one it will be great
it should be a enormous work for you grandfali

I'm in the US,..in New Jersey on the East Coast.
With how Courselles ended,...not sure I want to play as Germans. Hahaha
Once this campaign is completed,..I wouldn't mind switching sides though.

Gort, Mike and Morge4 are all US players... I have a feeling Jcb is too...
Only me and Random on this side of the "Pond"

No worries, got it, AT75 counted twice... Nice work Gort!

Corrected.

Granfali, Thinking about 2nd turn, do defenders enjoy any advantages? Or is it generally always better to make an attacking move?
