beginners guide to D-Day

now on T6, lets look at Axis lines, as you can clearly see, they have no intention of letting me break out on the yellow front as shown, where they have put most of the SS divisions, so don't push there, or you will just cause a bloodbath, they are far too strong and tbh it's easier to go elsewhere and flank, or try and flank them, as they will pull back if threatened etc

[zakblood]

so instead we look and find easier places, and attack there, sometimes a assault is needed, for me a attack is a 3 stack from one direction, and a assault is using more than one stack from multiply directions etc, while the cost can be higher, the chances of success is also higher if done right, with support and the right mix of units, just check the force also of what your attacking, recon and no FOW helps here, but once this isn't used, it's a hole new ball game also

one or 2 more turns and i'll be able to break out, as on the south west corner, there getting weaker, then i'm in and in at last into the open spaces of France[;)]

also to shake something up, i've landed in southern France just outside of Nice, so more bombers and fighters have been busy this turn, so more losses, but you can't break an egg if you don't want an omelet[:D]

this may pull some support troops for the Axis from elsewhere, as they can't be everywhere at once, so either of my main fronts will get some rest bite hopefully, just the free French and some US divisions, so a minor side show or faint tbh
