Day continues.

I will say that this game has become one of my most VEXING and yet most INTERESTING games I have every played.

Not like the 'original' Afrika Korp or Stalingrad games and not well over my head like Third Reich but a game that (as mentioned before) I have never had a 'same game twice' moment - and yet I feel that although I am still 'learning' this game the game mechanics and strategies are.... just... this... much... out.. of.. reach from me getting and gaining competence.

I recently made the mistake of going on the internet and reading some of the old reviews of this game. Makes me sad to see so many disapproving opinions. I always thought this was as close as I ever came to the perfect game.

41 12/27/2025 10:34:00 AM Turn 1 German Player Message RE: "Well, I guess this also supports the 'don't land a full division if possible - losing both stacks was / and will be a steep climb."

I don't agree with that at all. In fact, my only criticism of your landings (aside from the interdiction omissions) was your splitting of the 3rd division at Sword. Why give up that +1 division integrity bonus? That +1 could make the difference between a safe landing and a disrupted one? If you want to keep a unit in reserve for the 2nd wave, use one of the ss units. I suppose you wanted the extra MF for a possible assault of Merville in case the 1st wave cleared Sword, but to me that's not worth the risk. It's an extremely rare game where Merville does not fall eventually.

36 12/27/2025 10:19:00 AM Turn 1 German Player Message Tough choice indeed on the reroll at Juno. I think you were right to bite the bullet at Gold, but Juno ... like you say hard choice with two beaches disrupted. I can't say I would have been as brave as you but neither can I say you were wrong. I think I'd have caved at Juno though on the theory that if I lost a third beach on the next landing the game was probably going to be a tough go anyway.

30 12/27/2025 10:10:00 AM Turn 1 German Player Message Gold and Juno land safely ... this is NOT ok. By rule, you must identify ALL first wave landing units before seeing ANY interdiction results. In a tournament your opponent could void your rolls until this was declared.

In this case, fate stepped in with bad landing rolls, but you shouldn't give your opponent that option. The lapse in time during email messages and responses makes this harsh, but it is unavoidable.

spent CA on Omaha will be the PD.
