597 5/30/2026 1:48:00 PM Turn 3 Allies Message >Lastly, when you did assault 14 you did so with only half your force. If you had used a Double Impulse to combine forces from 21 and 16, you would have cleared 14 (and won the game) with that bid +9 roll with room to spare.

I did not even think of that primarily because I've been 'schooled' in doing a few smaller attacks vs the ONE BIG ONE both on bombardments and assaults...but in this instance I do SEE how that could have been way different.

Okay, game set up and bombardments started tomorrow.

Thanks
596 5/30/2026 1:33:00 PM Turn 3 Germans Message Well, it was not without its moments. The dice this time were sort of neutral although I had the advantage in Pips ... by +18 ... You won 43 rolls, lost 48 and tied 8, but there were long streaks of extreme rolls for both sides. This was a classic example of a game where not all rolls are equal in importance.

To be blunt I thought I was toast when you rolled the +6 to take area 49. IMO I thought I had little chance on the 12th. Fortunately for me the dice abandoned you at the start of the turn before coming roaring back at the end.

Your End Game still needs work. Despite the poor dice at the start of the turn, you made your task harder with bad decisions.

You should have regrouped out of area 28 on the 11th with your fresh units to area 32 away from my heavy artillery in St Lo. Then you could have threatened either 28 or 34.

My weakest point was area 14, but you left it alone far too long and turned to it only after exhausting all other possibilities. By the time you attacked it, you had wasted both air strikes plus the XXX Art in 16 on other targets.

Lastly, when you did assault 14 you did so with only half your force. If you had used a Double Impulse to combine forces from 21 and 16, you would have cleared 14 (and won the game) with that bid +9 roll with room to spare.

For my part, I should have assaulted Isigny before you moved the CCA armor in. It almost cost me the game.

Enjoyable in any case. Whenever you want more - let me know.
595 5/30/2026 1:24:00 PM Turn 3 Allies Message Heading out to a friend's wedding in a little but perhaps tomorrow I can start another game - bid still "8" for your Germans? I'll start my bombardments too.

I forgot to reroll the attack which was largely in my favor. Had I done so I would have won. In short, the game isn't over if you use the Advantage for another roll ...

566 5/30/2026 11:44:00 AM Turn 3 Allies Message Nice move and NO help from JABOS....

So, I'm faced with:

8-6 assault into 54 needing to win by 13+C points

Double assault into 4 @ 17 - 10 needing to win by 14+

Second assault into 14 from 21 @ 12 - 7 needing to win by 13+

And assuming day does not turn cloudy.....

Anything I missed?

All near impossible - but very much 'pretty close' things.....

well, enuff whining ... 14:8 is 6 +9 DR = 15 -1 bocage = 14 CPs. So KIA the Lehr Art & 101 Pz D2 (4); Retreat to 13: 12ss/26 (3) & 731 (3) and retreat the remaining four D2 units to 13 (4). That leaves the Lehr 1 Pz in 14.
