  1. Thoughts from a newbie.... on the scenario

    1. First off the fighter-bombers are WAY to powerful. Completely destroying a 8+ strength entrenched panzer in the bocage in one shot!?

    2. IMO The AA should get to fire more then once per turn.

    3. Geezzz do the allies get enough air-power? With no "night" the Germans just get blown off the map by the billions of planes...

    4. USA troops ships landing behind Cherbourg or right into it?

    Has anyone ever won this as the Germans? if so... how?

  2. I served in a 8 inch artty unit (michigan national guard) back in 91 then went active in 92 and moved into tanks (19K).

    Trust me, the two are nothing alike. The 8 inch was like being decked in the face each time it went off. Ever shot off full charge? It blew me right off the piece the first time, all the older guys knew to hold on, not me! It picked all the dirt and dust off the ground for 50 yards around and made it float for a few seconds. Pulling the lanyard is a trip!

    The M1A1 is like being punched in the chest if your on top if it or near it out side. The percussion is deep and takes your breath away. I use to love engaging targets while hanging out of the TC's hatch.

    I imagine that WW2 tanks are a mixture of the two. Not as high volicity as the M1 but less of a charge then the 8 inch. JMO
