N44 Campaign (alt) - Do the germans still need help?

[Peter777]

Hi VM

I have just tired Omaha agian (Day 1 Alt version) and I now agree it is to tough for the Allies your only chance of getting off the beach before German reinforcements arrive is to get lucky when assaulting the few E grade german units. And as the Allies in Anvil that was pretty much how I got off the beach. Or get very lucky with your naval fire

The B Grade German units are unmoveable, even those in the open hexs in PILLBOXs. Again that is what happened to me in Anvil the 2 B Grade Unit between Vierville and St Laurent held on until late on day 2, even then I only pushed them back to Vierville. In Anvil I managed to break out through St Laurent to Colleville. But I now realise how lucky this was as I captured 2 hexs pushing the germans into the middle hex of the 3 trapping them. I then reduced this hex over 2 turns giving me a way off the beach.

I my test game I even managed to get the Germans to reinforce the beach either side of my one hex break throughs as they occured after 1600hrs. If you are not off the beach by 1800hrs I do not think you will be getting off it.

I will do some more reading but I think you may have made this to tough.
