Our latest update includes the following maps ("aerial recon" map screenshots below):
June 6th - Gold beach assault... It's just you, Tom Hanks, and a shedload of MG and mortar fire...
June 6th - Juno beach assault
June 6th - Sword beach assault
June 7th - Paras attack city of Caen versus a low-morale volksgrenadier garrison
June 7th - Paras defend Vimont to disrupt German supply lines
June 7th - Paras defend Villers-Bocage to disrupt German supply lines
June 7th - Wounded Brit mixed-armour brigade (fresh from the beach) heads inland towards Hillman Battery
June 8th - Brit infantry brigade attempts to outflank Ouistreham fortifications
June 8th - Canadians must cross a heavily defended river to reach Buron
June 8th - Brit mechanised brigade reaches the northern edge of Bayeux
Both MP players can use their first turn to deploy. Deployment zones are related to the direction from which their battle group (BG) came. See the wider GJS'44 Strat Map below. If a BG dropped from the air, its units won't be too far from where the gliders and parachutes are (which may not be immediately visible to the defenders!
).Some of the German units fighting on June 7th are marked with asterisks (*). This indicates that their BG is "out of supply" and those units suffer morale penalties...
Happy hunting ladies & gents!
