Big shout to Frimmel for the strategies and Krieghound for being “der Spielfuhrer” with all the advice on rules… :-D

You’re welcome. Glad to know all my typing on here has been a help.

Yeah, the allied player was very generous. I capured a total of 15ish supply tokens from them :-D

@PhilFromIT:

I just pick this up last week and after about 5 games I can say yes. I would warn them however that playing the Allies takes a lot of tactics and maneuvering!

There definitely is a learning curve for the allies.

Hello. And Bye.

Hello. And Bye.

Those got gobbled up pretty fast.

You would have to land supplies at the beaches and move them to the front line units. Units would have to be able to move out of zones with other units. The whole “locked in combat” aspect of D-Day is not in keeping with most of the mechanics of BOTB.

So having read the rules it looks like this game will be pretty unpredictable. Even putting a lot of dice on the table it will be up in the air what will get killed and what will have to retreat. Lots of things to manage. Can’t crowd the line too much and not give your troops room to back up can’t get any group too far from the supplies. The key will be when to blitz, and to keep moving before the Allies start pounding the snot out of your trucks with all those aircraft.

Looks like it will be fast paced with lots of action. That twelve sided dice system will take some getting used to. Quite a departure.

Can’t wait for my set to arrive.
