they did, only the tank in the south even survived, –in the north, a couple infantry, an ART and the tank. Allies should have dumped more into Bastogne and surrounding area i guess.
And since nothing else survived, the tank was cut off from supplies and allies didn’t bring any more up to allow it to even move.
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.
You can but it has not been playtested with the map. The ideas have been playtested and they work very well in other games. I am working on changes on the air power thing because its not historical. Both sides had limited air power for each day of the campaign and i plan on spreading out the pain of allied 3/9 planes for the last 4 turns of the game , while i feel many games will progress with the statement " if the germans dont get far by turn 4 they should resign" I want to take the same number of air allocations but spread them out over all the turns ( except no allied air allocations on turn one).
So what im saying it go ahead and post but let me email a better version first to you with these new changes. Ill have it by tomorrow.
