Contested Zone act as a captured zone

@The_Good_Captain Example 2.

@The_Good_Captain It applies to all zones.

@Sebskullian-0 you can find these games on ebay for not too much.

@Krieghund

Agreed. That’s how I always play it.

@krieghund

Thank you so much?

@the_good_captain Yes. From page 16 of the Rulebook:

During this step, Axis land units move and patrolling Allied fighters react. Each fighter in a region rolls to strafe each Axis unit moving into or out of that zone, including reinforcements. The Axis player indicates all units that are moving, then the Allies fire one at a time against target units.

I’ve found that if Germany plays hard to Cherbourg and cuts off the US beach landings, then it’s the hardest to take.

Coordinated Landing simply allows you to land units in any of that country’s landing zones regardless of which Beachhead they’re in.  Of course, you must still observe stacking limits.
