The Allies had a thrashing handed to them. Yes, I took out the majority of the pillboxes and bunkers with little issues, even using only part of my forces.
That being the case, there is nothing wrong with the assault rules, based on this test. Heck, one could even argue the scenario is rather pro-German. This is a player victory by 582 points.

Jason,
I'm for the EA so I'm not complaining, but if there is some sort of magic mix of troops to make EA more succesful them it should be included in the update explaination. I think what is getting on peoples nerves is the fact that I've read rumors about this magic formula but nobody will say anything one way or the other. I would like too see it toned down a little, but compared to the old version it is much better and more to what happened in the battles just my opinion. I don't know weather Dan is using it in his Normandy 44 or not, but we're using it in our teamgame. It seems to be pretty good, but we as the Allies have a lot of arty at our disposal.
A lot of good Ideas have been mentioned here. I like the Idea of the defenders chances lowering each time they are assaulted in a given turn. The Idea of greater losses on both sides are good. I'm not sure about the Morale dice roles and all the nuts and bolts of the EA rules, its far beyond what I'm capable of thinking about while playing a game. Thanks for all the work and if there is a secret formula to EA please send it too me I'm in need of some help.
I know that no matter what, somebody will be mad and not happy with what you come up with. Hopefully people smarter than me will come up with some good ideas that will be able to be put into the game, but above all don't change because you can, change because it makes the game better.
