Normandy '44 AAR

[CountryBoy]

Sweet! Is the overall plan to bleed the allies as they attack the deep defensive lines? Oh, and just one more question, when the front line units disrupt, can you rotate in undisrupted ones? Or is it too late by that point? Thank you for the AAR!

As unexciting as it sounds, yes, bleeding the Allies as they slog through the defensive lines is pretty much the strategy! This scenario is not one for those who want dashing moves, flanking attacks and breakthroughs! That said, there is something satisfying to be derived from trying to set the perfect defense, construct an impregnable line and shifting units around to maintain a continuous front.

To answer your second question, occasionally I do shift in replacement units to replace disrupted units, however in most cases Allied direct fire and artillery fire usually causes disruption in the replacement unit, which renders the action somewhat meaningless. I do try where I can to place armor and infantry together - usually the infantry disrupt first and I might try and replace them with another infantry unit, trusting that in a worse case scenario the replacement unit gets disrupted but the existing armor unit does not. Allied firepower is incredibly strong and German direct fire or moving into contact is best avoided.
