Thanks guys, interesting result. Sounds like a great game!morge4 wrote:Hillman remains in German hands despite the valiant effort put up by the Allies! JCB played stellar and was a good game, very enjoyable.
Casualties were even at 12 a piece, 3 flags for the Germans and 2 for the Allies.

Pls let me know which side won which flags (points).
Will setup June 7th PM when I get back tonight...
I guess we should have gone for the higher-point flags lolmorge4 wrote:Hard for me to know as I could not see the flag points on the map???
Have added a text fix from Pip, and reduced font size to 8 (from 12)... So, fingers crossed, everyone will see the labels properly now...jcb989 wrote:I guess we should have gone for the higher-point flags lolmorge4 wrote:Hard for me to know as I could not see the flag points on the map???

Parachute attack ordered by Allied commander on the German defender that arrived in Caen during the same turnGottaLove88s wrote:Gents, Here are the battles which look likely to happen next.
Since many players are new, I've also given a flavour of what to expect where.
To help with assigning (volunteering?) for the maps...
Good luck all!

Upcoming Battles - June 7th PM
CAEN: 6al/6 (AMR+) ME v Ost/411/716 (P-)
Messy urban environment, dominated by a castle, with a port at its heart. Infantry/scouts/recon essential. To win here you need to train in cities, eg. Ortona.
Allied paras landed in and captured the two German reinforcement zones on June 6th, while they lay undefended. Now the Germans must win back at least one of these sectors to regain access to their supplies. Critical battles for both sides...GottaLove88s wrote:VIMONT: 125/21Pz AFD v 3/6ab (MR)
VILLERS-BOCAGE: 192/21Pz AFD v 5al/6 (MR)
Both of these are deceptive. At first glance they appear to be open, tank country, and indeed they are, but there are lots of trees and cornfields to hide in, plus scattered stony river fords, dune grass, and rough ground in fields, where anything, from a piat to a 17pdr, can sit and wait in secret. Played well, these can go either way. Played aggressively, you'll get a battering as Allies or as Germans.
Difficult frontal assaults by partially wounded Allied brigades continuing inland after they were victorious on their beaches on June 6th.GottaLove88s wrote:HILLMAN BATTERY: 7/3cdn (N) AFD v II/726/716 (AMRP-) [this one's tbc pending what happens during June 7th AM?]
Modelled somewhat close to reality, these 152mm coastal batteries were actually taken from behind in WW2. So Hillman should be a tough ask when it's assaulted from the front, but the Allies benefit from their devastating Naval Artillery and II/726/716 may have been weakened by a prior attack during June 7th AM.
