RE: D-Day to the Ruhr

<t> Regarding the Mulberry situation the point of the Mulberry harbors was to provide a way for deep water freighters to be able to directly unload their cargo at the invasion beaches instead of unloading it in England, then having those supplies transferred to LSTs for unloading on the beach. The ...

RE: D-Day to the Ruhr

<t> Seems like a good source. That said I wonder if the reason Ike didn't discuss any sites closer to Brest is because they never planned on it because they figured it was just too far away to begin the campaign. Your campaign seems to be falling short because you're having to hold back because of ...

RE: D-Day to the Ruhr

<t> I didn't even have 1 or 2, it was just the supply signal and some of them were not even half white half blue...my breakout trigger also happened way east of that though. The Brits had cleared Normandy and were pushing towards Le Havre and the American forces had already reached Paris and were ...

RE: D-Day to the Ruhr

<t> Sorry I don't save that often, trying to stop myself from going back in time if things don't turn out how I'd like.<br/>

RE: D-Day to the Ruhr

<t> I don't like to interrupt an AAR but I haven't seen a lot of discussions on this scenario...I landed on Brest quickly cleared that peninsula and had multiple units spread out clearing France. Some trigger I don't know removed Bradley as the 1st AG commander and replaced him with 1/3/9th AG ...
