Normandy 44 Bunkers

[Barbarrossa]

Hi Volcano Man

I am Gordon HQ opponent, playing the Germans and learnt my tactics from Heinz in the recent Anvil Tournament when he beat me because I could not get off the beach even though I had captured 3 bunkers which were not together.

I do not have the numbers of men in the bunkers as claimed but certainly have reinforced them and they now would be very hard to take them.

The trouble is with the rule of being unable to advance from one zone of control to the other.

The Americans Capture a pillbox. The German player retreats into the adjoining Bunkers but makes certain that no reteating units adjoin the captured Pillbox inland but places even a distrupted unit one hex away inland. This completly prevents the Americans from advancing except by once again trying to take the adjoining bunkers and one is not sufficient if they are in the middle, to m ake sure three have to captured that are adjacent to each other.

A simple solution would be to permit the rule to enable an advance from one enemy control to another with loss of all move points and the first unit being disrupted.

Omaha as it stands is just to hard for the Allied Player.

The Americans DID get off the beach and that was the Historical result. The historical result should only be a draw to the Allies

Hope this helps.
