Operation Overlord - this time as the Germans

[MikeJ19]

Larry,

Thanks for your thoughts.

I have not noticed the Allied ships causing me too much difficulty. They have been directed more at the coastal artillery sites than my forces. Pulling back will reduce their effect a lot, although they have some ships that can reach Caen, I think.

The Allied supply situation will not change too much if I pull back, unless I pull back South of Caen. I think that having captured the hex with a Mulberry Harbour that would have effected their supply, but there is no indication that it did.

The Allied planes have been a pain, but because of a flaw with the supply sources in the scenario, not as much as they could/should be. There interdiction efforts can be painful, but it has not been too bad.

As you can see below, I am planning on pulling back a bit and your comments helped in that decision. Please feel free to give advice as you see fit. It will help me learn!

It is Game 7 tonight in the NHL playoffs. This is my final post for the night. I really hope that my Toronto Maple Leafs can beat the Boston Bruins.

Meanwhile, in Normandy in June 1944 the battle continues. Here is the overview of the battle the morning of 24 June.

Go Leafs GO

A very disappointing third period and my Leafs are done for another season. Oh well, less stress moving forward.

Here is the situation in the West.

The battle around Caen remains the most important one. Here is the current view.

It was a long day, with the Allies getting some key reinforcements and back to back moves.

A back to back move for me! Major reinforcements as well, things are looking up.

I keep saying it, but success will be determined in front of Caen.
