Updated Normandy'44_Alt (third time, 13 AUG)

[Volcano Man]

Strela,

WOW, thanks for the extensive info! This is exactly the info I need. Thanks also Rick. :)

OK, so we now know that the paper strength of these units were (for the most part) at their full compliment, but now I know that all of these tank battalions arriving from off map sources MUST be reduced to factor in maintenance failures, air interdiction and partisan activities enroute.

At this point in time I have a possible approach: 70% strength for units that arrive from Calais, which models -10% for interdiction + -20% for maintenance failures (both enroute and of the residual rot kind). 80% strength for units that arrive from just off map, which models -15% maintenance and -5% interdiction.

I think that is a pretty good approach for a more realistic arrival tank strength here, rather than having them show up at 100%. I will do that in the next update, so anyone wanting to play a N44_Alt campaign might want to wait for that. ;)
