GJS'44 Campaign Main Thread - Final June 16th 1944 Tournamen

[cavehobbit]

Seems you had a good fight in Bois!

That was the last battle this day and now we start planning for June 14th. Here are the updated OOB and Strat map. There are several units which have their supply lines cut of, but none is out of supply. 915/352 in Merville-Franceville will be out of supply June 15th. Note that the Para BG's carry three days of supply. 48/RM had no line of supply last day and therefore have two days left while the three other have their first day without a line of supply on June 14th. But all in all no BG will suffer from being out of supply on June 14th.

With Caen back in German hands all German BG's will have one extra move.

You're not getting it back

[Honour79]

Send the orders! Let's fight!!!

[jcb989]

All orders are in and they are being analyzed! Germans win the toss....
Cavehobbit will post shortly after we work out any issues that need to be resolved.

[cavehobbit]

I have combined the orders, but there's a minor question Jcb and need to discuss. It looks like we will have five battles this day, probably only am battles. I will start preparing the battles (most of them on new maps ) and will then send them to Jcb.

My guess is that the battles could be ready in the middle of this week

[LandMarine47]

Teasers!

[jcb989]

proposed solution sent to PA

[LandMarine47]

Does the 14th hold anything well..... Intresting (cough cough Caen cough cough)

[cavehobbit]

I've sent the map pack to Jcb for inspection. I had hoped to be able to updated the Strat map and OOB, and aerial photos of the new maps. But it's getting late here. Expect them tomorrow.

So I guess that means no Duke of Windsor or General Patton?

[LandMarine47]

If you don't already know, I won't be participating during today's operations until I can get my iPad fixed

[cavehobbit]

With LM not participating the German commanders will be:

Mlazar - Ranville
Navaronegun - Lebisey Woods
Morge - Colombelles
Honour - Thaon

There will be no battle in Escoville as the Germans decided not to enter the sector with 45/RM reinforced by 6AL/6.
