Morale

[D-Day_Dodger]

I think the high fatigue/low morale explanation certainly explains what my troops are experiencing. My opponent has been withdrawing steadily since turn one so my troops have not had a chance to rest. Consequently, my troops are tired but they control most of the map edge east of the Orne River and I'm at the outskirts of Cherbourg. 80 turns should be enough time to rest, lower my fatigue, increase my morale and make the final push.
