[@MeanderingMikesManCave]

[@MeanderingMikesManCave]

Thanks!

[@HissyCat]

[@MeanderingMikesManCave]

Thanks!

Morning. Again.

[@charleslatora5750]

Brest. West Coast. No.
Go north along the channel.
I oops on the beaches and landing zones so I saved Paras and dropped them on Marseilles. Unless I did wrong there ain't enough headquarters and supplies to get you very far north

[@charleslatora5750]

Math is fun

[@charleslatora5750]

Maybe games need to start having more half factor lines. we see 1.5:1. Why not 2.5:1, 3.5:1...

[@MeanderingMikesManCave]

I'm trying to figure out the southern France invasion possibilities. I hadn't thought about a big paradrop there ... sounds like a good possibility.

[@charleslatora5750]

@@MeanderingMikesManCave as a German commander, I realized the allies had used up all their beach landings, So I started filtering troops north for the defense in front of and on the Rhine River. As an American intelligence officer, I realized the Germans were abandoning the South and I suggested jumping pears on Marseilles or close at hand... That's how I got my good conduct medal... Lol

[@charleslatora5750]

Great game. Maybe playing BOTH GAMES was a bit much. East front was very easy n clear.

[@charleslatora5750]

Yep. Made a few players aid myself

[@MeanderingMikesManCave]

I decided to just do the West Front portion to keep it "simpler".

[@charleslatora5750]

Wasn't there a rule about Antwerp at some point being, and not sure if I remember this correctly, becoming the only port usable?

[@MeanderingMikesManCave]

Antwerp or Rotterdam can support 2 HQs instead of 1, but the estuaries have to be clear. Between Antwerp, Rotterdam, and Boulogne-sur-Mer because of port engineer limitations, only one of these three can do Attack Supply (and Antwerp is the most convenient once the front is up there).

[@charleslatora5750]

HQ limits per command n supply?

[@MeanderingMikesManCave]

Each functional port and beach port allow for the support of 1 HQ (with Antwerp or Rotterdam being able to support 2 HQs). The trick is you need to have trucks in the right place to be able to use the HQs, so it is hard to use all your ports.
