BLM is still working so I will take advantage of this. A hex was occupied next to beach on newest landing site. It was empty so nothing impressive.

Established landing site south of Brest is located on town of Les Sables. Nothing to report on it either. That means there were no ...

I wanted to display two aspects to the challenge between Metalist and myself for 1945 but feel it would be too much.

A: Russian advance with Eastern Front.
B: Air resources; pools of existing aircraft type.

Therefore I will tackle the first one , Eastern Front on this segment and ...

Star date, supplemental. Star Trek humor there.

Final four. I think Germany lost 40+ aircraft on this one hex but Allies did loose a few too. Also, take a look at how many soldiers started this fight And how it dwindled. From around 36,000 to around 11,000.
