GJS'44 Rules & Regs wrote:7.6 The battle is ended once the German player has completed his move showing "3 turns remaining", ie. Games last for 20 turns.
7.61 At the end of the game, the German player should post on this thread which side holds each of the five VP flags, using each flag's label name and showing its VP points value, for example:
June 6th - Juno Beach VPs
German - Road to Tailleville (5 pts)
German - Road to Courseulles (5 pts)
Allied - West Cliff (3 pts)
Neutral - Barracks (3 pts)
Allied - Juno Bunker (1 pt)
German 10 pts v Allied 7 pts
German victory
7.62 The German player must also take a screenshot of the units killed in action (KIAs) screen, showing both sides losses, and post it to this forum thread.
7.63 The Allied player should quote the German's battle report on this thread and add "VP flags and KIAs agreed". If the Allied player does not agree, the German player must post screenshots showing each of the five VP flags, and return the game to the Allied player.
7.64 Negotiated ceasefire. One player more propose a ceasefire to his opponent at any time before "5 turns remaining" shows. The two players may then negotiate a conclusion to their battle, over factors including which BG wins the sector, which BGs withdraw to which adjacent sectors and whether any BG is dissolved. During a negotiated ceasefire, a losing BG may be dissolved, ie. removed from the Strat Map, with or without additional loss penalties applied, if both players agree to this. Once agreement has been reached, the terms of the ceasefire should be communicated to that day's GM, who will confirm whether they are permissible. Battle resumes if agreement cannot be reached or is not permissible.

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.

VIMONT: 125/21Pz AFD v 3/6ab (MR)
VILLERS-BOCAGE: 192/21Pz 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.

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.

Explanation of bonuses that were allocated:
A=Arty, N=Naval Arty, M=Medic, R=Rally, P=Promote, +=Air-landing so scattered on arrival, -=Out of supply morale penalty

Let me know when you think I should start up CAEN as the commander there for the Allies.
No word on Iprop, hope he's okay and just busy suddenly.

Thanks Justin, I've emailed Mitch cc. you & Al, to check all ok... We'll know in 24 hours... If no reply, I'm sure it's ok for you to play it... Just life getting in the way... Pprobably distracted by wise men and a load of sheep asking for directions...

Obviously it's important to know the VP point values...

Yes I can, it's working correctly in Hillman.

About 4-6 turns to go over there.
