DF'85 Strategy Choices

[tbridges]

I am not sure which option is giving you a problem, but let me know and we can look at it - at least give you an option to not use them or possibly add a single later option if assured disctruction are the only choices. Glenn

I'm referring to the strategy choices required when opening turn #3 for the WP, scenario #850610_01sa. I don't have any problem with the location choices: Wurzburg, Nurnberg, Ingolstadt, Augsburg, and Heilbron. These are all good locations for a potential airborne assault. My concern is the timing of the drops.

My main army is nowhere near any of these locations, and unless I'm heavily underestimating the strength of the NATO resistance, will not be in time to rescue these troops. They will be easily surrounded and eliminated long before I can get there to link up. Just as the WP troops dropped on turn #1 have nearly all been eliminated already (not without having done some damage, but eliminated nonetheless).

I was hoping that I could delay my choice of strategy until my main force had approached one of the locations to a logical supporting range. Or, in the absence of an ability to choose a desired location, maybe I could go ahead and make that choice, but at least control the timing of the drop until supporting troops approached more closely.

Hey Kevin...I'm referring to the 106th Airborne.
