RE: Normandy 44 Bunkers
Its great to see the interest on this topic. After 1943 I cannot recall one occaision when the Western Allies were thrown off a beachead by any axis power German of Japanese. Algeria,Sicily,Salerno,Anzio, D Day, Southern France, and all the numerous Pacific Island landings not once did they fail.
It should not be a question of luck to get off Omaha, it should be a very rare circumstance indeed not to get off on the First Day otherwise we are playing a What IF sce.
and this is no bad thing if we want balanced games but dont kid ourselfs that its historical.
These HPS GAMES are the most realistic ones I know off and surely the Historical result of a real event should result in a draw, to get a major victory the victor should do better than the real historical result of a historical sce and vice versa.
Volcano man suggestion of downgrading the pillboxs and bunkers might do the trick because it is only Omaha beachead that is unrealistic historically the rest is a tour de force on his part. :chin:
