Campaign Normandy

Actually, it was the 750 turn scenario we were playing; the allied player threw in the towel on turn 257.

I should say that all is not bleak for the allies. They get an incredible amount of tanks. And if you play with counterbattery on, the nebelwerfers can be dealt with, as there range is short.

They also get an awful lot of artillery...and aircraft.

I think that if I was to change something in the game, I would up the allied supply level. On the last turn we played (257) his supply level was 45 coming in the main beaches. Which meant that where I was pushing my offensive with the SS divisions/Lehr/21st Panzer, a lot of his units would be on low ammo, and easier to assault. The game uses a random 2% drop of 5% and a random 5% increase of supply every day.

You start at level 20. With a:

June 9: +10
June 10: 2% -5, 5% +5
June 15: +10
June 19: -10
June 20: -20
June 23: +30

So without the random variation, he should have been at 40. And the random variation favours increase over decrease. With a level of 45, he was roughly on par.

But when I look at Sealion, the germans get an 80 level, despite the fact that the Allies can interdict the supply at sea.

I would suggest eliminating the storm supply drop. And perhaps the random variation as well (to avoid extreme bad luck ruining a year long game). The storm drop in supply does nothing game wise, as nobody can attack due to everyone being dug in.
