RE: Normandy 44 Bunkers
Having played most of the two day "Caen" scenario now in the 2nd round of tourny play I have a few suggestions about balance. (1) While I agree with the fixing of the Allies during the 1st night off the beach for the campaign games, unless you change the points in the 2 day games, I'd say the Allies should remain unfixed in the shorter scenarios. It's hard enough as it is the get men in position without two turns of delay (2) While I appreciate the fact that the Germans would have loaded up the bunkers at the beach eventually, I don't believe that the troops stationed at the front in other bunkers, with all the advantages of ranged fire, etc and given the quality of those troops, would have within the 1st turn (hours) of invasion. I just can't see that happening. To immediately unfix all the Axis troops seems a bit over the top to me. Obviously any Axis player is going to load as much into the bunkers from whatever source available, it catching "like wildfire" is the Axis ability to do so in the modified scenarios!
