Re: GJS'44 - D-Day - June 11th - Waiting for Allied orders

OK I've finally caught up on reading all of this thread. You guys have had discussions and made subsequent decisions that should have included the Supreme Allied Commander but did not.
I'll summarize my positions here:
1. According to the rules, the attack on Abbaye is an Attack Against a Fortified Defender.
2. The german unit that was indicated as being Out Of Supply (OOS) on the June 11 Strategic Map, and therefore suffering a morale penalty, is OOS and suffering a morale penalty as indicated.
3. Why an attack against a stationary BG that hasn't received, nor sent, any units would be considered an ASD, but an attack against a unit that has just moved two complete squares to take the place of another unit that has just withdrawn from the same position in the same turn, would be consider an AFD, doesn't make any sense to me.
4. If the provided rules and the map were in error, and the above decisions are to stand, then all orders for the June 11 turn should be rescinded, the GM should publish the rules and the June 11 strategic map that are in effect, and both sides should submit new orders.
5. Whether or not a German unit is OOS and whether or not the attack on Abbaye is an AFD, these are fundamental and critical to the development of both the Allied and German strategies for the June 11 turn.
6. Both German and Allied Commanders should be consulted before any final decisions are made by the GM.
Sincerely,
Thomas

, but as I explained when I tried to step down from GJS'44 a few weeks back, there's a lot on my plate right now... I confess, I don't enjoy it when new commanders post lengthy complaints on multiple public forums before they try to resolve their non-issues privately, but I realise that's just how some people deal with things... and I need to learn to react more wisely 
... Life's too short and it's really not that important... With time squeezed, I should prioritise on the things I enjoy most... I'd really like to concentrate on the Pacific mod that Amaris & I have been toying with (you should see Amaris' brilliant progress on this. It's truly awesome!! 
)... My ultimate aim is to create a GJS'44 style manyplayer campaign, island hopping marines and "sea bee" engineers back and forth across the Pacific, supported by USN and IJN fleets of carriers, battleships, heavy and light cruisers, destroyers, submarines, transports, tankers, Vals & Zeroes, Corsairs & Avengers... You'll all be welcome when it's done
