Cagny is done. German forces put up a rugged defense but were unable to stem the Allied Red Devils, although we did hurt their AT capacity a bit. Germans did manage to hold onto their 3 point flag, as seen in the casualty list...
PD put up a good fight, those 3 mortars made it very interesting.
Here is the final casualty list.

Too bad you boys forgot to reinforce that side of the river with some tanks. Ehh, maybe on June 12th they will come.

Trust me they are there for a reason
Also can the paras near Pegasus be resupplied from the other side of the river?

8. Supplies
8.1 The last unit passing through a sector gains control over that sector for its team.
8.11 Allied-liberated sectors are marked on the Strat Map with an RAF roundel.
8.12 All sectors are controlled by the German-side until they are liberated by the Allies.
8.13 Sectors retaken by the Germans lose their RAF roundel.
8.14 Sector control for each day is determined before that day's moves are made, ie. it will take one day to retake a sector (and to re-establish supply lines).
8.2 All units must be able to trace a continuous path of controlled sectors to a source of supplies.
8.21 German BGs receive 1 day of supplies from either Villers Bocage or Vimont, plus 1 day of supplies from Caen or Bayeux, provided that the supplying town is held by the Germans. ie. German BGs typically enjoy 2 days of supplies, until Caen and Bayeux are lost, then they receive only 1 day of supplies, until Vimont and Villers-Bocage are also lost, when German BGs will lose their access to new supplies.
8.22 New German BGs arrive in Villers-Bocage or Vimont fully supplied for 2 days.
8.23 Allied BGs receive 1 day of supplies from any of Gold, Juno or Sword beach, provided that the supplying sector is held by the Allies, plus an additional 1 day of supplies if all three of Gold, Juno and Sword beaches are held by the Allies. ie. Allied BGs typically have 1 day of supplies, until they gain control over all three of the main landing beaches, when the massive influx of materiel raises this to 2 days.
8.24 Beach landing Allied BGs, including commandos, arrive on the beach fully supplied for 1 day only.
8.25 Commandos parachuting inland carry sufficient supplies for 3 full days, including their date of arrival. Consequently, the Allies must establish a supply line to airborne commandos by day 4, or those BGs will suffer out of supply penalties.
8.3 Out of supply BGs suffer severe penalties.
8.31 The base morale for all units in an "out of supply" BG is reduced: by 50 for all infantry except volksgrenadiers, by 25 for volksgrenadiers and all other units.

OOB and Strat map after battle in Cagny. 26/12SS withdrew to Colombelles. The sector was decided with help from K9mike and a dice(?).
As the Allies captured Cagny, the Germans will have only 2 Arty bonuses next day.

Thanks for the supplies notice but still, do those paras technically still have a supply line from across the river? If so I think that's highly unlikely, as the German would be pounding the ferries with 150MM guns....
And with only 2 battles left, should planning start for June 13th?

No, the paras have not a supply line as the river/canal can't be crossed other than at Pegasus, Caen and Orne Bridge.
It's ok to start planning next days orders.

Well, I'm still having connection problem and slowness as of Monday 6PM EST/.
Anyone else still having trouble? Seems odd. Maybe I will try restarting my FIOS modem.

No rest!
We got to get the campaign moving forward! I hope that orders are sent on Friday so we can start to play on Saturday, Sunday at the latest!

Isn't there one remaining battle? Where 4 German units should be fighting. Can't we just agree to a result there to get the campaign going?
