571 2/9/2026 1:01:00 PM Spring 1944 Axis Message That is correct. Only 1 beachhead available for each type.

You can change your overlord play. Just let me know which spaces you play them in as it will likely change my last move.
570 2/9/2026 6:15:00 AM Spring 1944 Allied Message If I am only allowed 1 allied beach head, does that mean I can't play Anvil until after I have cleared the Scheldt?
If so I need to change from playing an Allied Beachhead to playing BR and US beachheads

Also, not sure why else the option would be given to remove a beachhead at the end of a turn.
567 2/8/2026 9:19:00 PM Spring 1944 Allied Message I don't see where there is any limit on the number of beachhead markers in the rules.
