How is the restart of the battle of Hermanville? iprop Tells me it hasent been restarted, or recreated. is that right?
Bloody autocorrect from the IPad!!!!

I believe the battles (in general) are taking too long...

I believe Mlazar said he wouldn't be able to play until Saturday viewtopic.php?f=87&t=38844&start=1340#p393063

So long as folks let their opponents know if they can't play for some reason, and commanders assign BGs accordingly where appropriate, I'm sure we can all live with a few days of waiting...

Sounds like Cristot and Biéville were quite one-sided affairs? The other two look more evenly matched?

Fair enough, have all a nice week i Will take some rest.

Cristot:
The allied advance was abruptly halted by the suprising arrival of a armoured SS BG. The blood-thirsty and fanatic SS threw themselves over the allied troops as soon as they came into sight. After a short and uneven battle the Panthers had decimated the allied troops heavily with their superior long-range cannons against the Shermans and Fireflies. The German assault came to an end at the river after the bridges had been secured. The German commander saw no reason in continuing the battle and offered the Allied commander a ceasefire. There were no special terms for the ceasefire and the allies were offered to retreat according to... the campaign rules.

Germans win by 14-3 in VP (the allies hold The Mill 3VP).
Mkboy, please agree to the result to make it official.

I'm not looking forward to your revenge!

Ouch!! Don't think Ol' Rodney's guns will reach that far...lol

Ouch indeed. I confirm the results of Cristot.

We negotiated an outcome to Pegasus based on current positions and dead - clear no one was going to stick their neck out after the failed British crossing.

check to see if you are running the game with the "Full Screen" box checked at startup. I was running it that way and could not screen shot...after unchecking...I was able to...might give it a try.

Here's the updated map with new arrows. Please tell me what you think. I did not wanted the arrows to stand out too much and toned them down. Black are Germans and blue are Allies. Thick arrows indicate moves that result in a battle, thin arrows are moves that are depending on the outcome of current battles.
I also discovered an error in the previous map. I had moved 9/3 to Cruelly but as 131/7 moves before 9/3 it is 131/7 that reaches the sector first. And as there're a lot of fighting in Hermanville, 131/7 can't move there even if it was its intended destination. Am I correct, Jon?

Thanks P-A, Great Strat Map as always! Where 131/7 is able to move, will depend on the prior battles in Hermanville.
If there are no Allied BGs in Hermanville, 131/7 can enter that sector. If there is an Allied BG there, it can't.

Any news from our valiant commanders in Hermanville?

Hermanville: Lt Col iProp 192/21 [APS] ASD v Lt Col Mowby 27/3 [MRS]

I've been in contact with Mowby today and they have played a few turns so far.
