RE: Update: Calais.1944.Campaign.scn Diary
Update:
1) Axis OOB updated after finding more information on misc units in region (Flak, Sich etc.)
2) Created no passage line along the northern border to Antwerp, enhancing the optic for the allies that no axis reinforcements will arrive via those locations. Since the coastline doesn't go all the way to antwerp on the map, elements of 712.ID(bo) will appear south of this line between DDay and DDay+1 which were ordered to block Patton's 3rd army's advance towards Antwerp. Nothing else will follow afterwards.
3) LCT® have been converted to regular ships, instead of single use. Their stats reduced accordingly and will withdraw on DDay+1 (still only 1 ship per unit and high VP value so use them continually at your own risk)
4) Due to map sea zones, particularly along the British landing sites, Allied ship fire ranges have been modified(reduced) accordingly.
5) Various Allied ships will withdraw over time.
6) Some german coastal batteries AA value increased instead of creating an organic AA battery.
7) Started creating a separate unit image folder, which I will make available when scenario is ready. It's basically images already present in game but my naming scheme necessitated new ones with updated names to avoid missing unit images.
8) Adjusted unit values, regular infantry at 1 hex fire distance, with MG and HW units at range 2.
Ongoing efforts
1) Finding information on the 2.Stellung occupied by the 85ID. Slow going as records, for me anyway, are limited.
2) Assessing German Air assets in the region. Compared to Normandy region.
3) Supply considerations
4) Reinforcement schedule. Tentative one ready.
