Normandy 44

[CountryBoy]

I'm playing as Axis in a PBEM of the campaign scenario and we are on Turn 110, so I have seen what Michael has mentioned.

I wouldn't go so far as saying that it has 'broken' the game, however ability of rangers and commandos to ignore ZOC did make it very hard to mount an effective defence near the beaches. I had to pull the German units backwards very quickly to try and form a continous front line to negate the ability of those units to ignore ZOC. Mind you, I just adapted to it and got on with the game, it didn't occur to me that it was an issue.

Isn't this what happened historically? jonny

Didn't 21st Panzer counter-attack the beaches west of Caen? In the game it's not possible, unless you don't mind destroying the only worthwhile Axis unit on the map at the invasion start.

As mentioned above, ignoring Zocs allows Allied units to get off the beaches quite easily (although losses are still high).
