I’ll take the target to D1 and the armor to D1 for 3; then for my impulse I’ll activate St. Jores (or is it St. Jean, I always forget) and move those two fresh flak into Carentan. |

| 545 | 5/8/2022 3:15:00 PM | Turn 1 | Germans | Message |
I think going all out for Carentan might have been the better play. However, even with Carentan, the Allies are at 9.5 (0.4 for Caen, 0.1 for Pont l'Abbe) after getting booted from Merville + not clearing Sword. So even if Carentan falls, somewhere another 0.1 is needed. If you want to play it out, that's fine with me. In general, I think you've played well strategically, and that's excellent. Your weaknesses have been tactical or optimization, generally, and that's something you can improve by thinking one day ahead: where do you want your units tomorrow? As the Allies, you want to threaten as much as possible, and that means big stacks that can go big or little, depending on the situation. But putting a maximum over 20 together day after day makes the Germans defend a little thicker everywhere. Really, though, this was a really tough board and you made good decisions go claw back into it. If I don't get a weather change on the 10th, the board would be more favorable to you. Officially, I will pass, and you can decide whether to continue with A4. |

You've played well. You had pretty bad early luck, but you took Villars and that dooms Tilly most of the time, and that makes it a game. By rights you should have taken Montebourg and we'd be slugging it out. It tilts German pretty heavily now, after the clouds on the 10th. If I hadn't had the weather change on the 10th, it might be about even. You're getting my best game. I'm scrambling to prevent some unusual things, like taking St. Vaast from Montebourg, or contesting Aunay for 0.2 VPs. I'm even trying to save Catz, which is a goner in most games. You have credible threats on every axis. The impact of Sword is minimal at this point. You control it, so there is no -1 VP penalty. You can't count VPs through a contested Beach, but that only impacts Merville's 0.1 VP on this board. Normally I'd say it's a priority, so you can threaten to take Merville. On this board, with Brit naval already fired on the 11th, the threat to Merville won't develop. |
