hi, all plans can change, and this is what my general tactics and strategy is.I am open to any sujestions, general tactics or strat moves.

I would like to lead the charge at gold,i think i can crush the germans, they will either put massed guns on hedgerow, or go deep, i know all the spots, and crocodile will chew them up, inf and 95m cromwells to mop up. firefly incase(good to train to elite now also)AVRE for south blasting(i know hot to sneak him sideways to get LOS of any hiding guns/inf without getting hit by Guns).

firstly its importand for first 6 turns of so to go hard, move around and forward, and wait for panzer counter. in my 3 GC's with AI, i almost always get to within 1 or 2 maps of there depots/supply before encountering 'new' BG.

down south is panther/panzer strong, the 'tiger/panzer' units comes from top supply,then pznther Lehr middle supply. Caen cpos a battering,IF i take caen, i usually sit a good unit there,and blast all german counterattacks, and let my BGs pass north of south.

the germans Cant hold ALL beaches, we will punch through, there guns dont last, if we go armour heavy, blast our way off,and punch through(crocodiles/sherman flail are thicker) in the middle,dont forget those lovely 95mm reak havock with infantry/guns and can take tanks out.
get off beaches,run to naval barrage range,im sure germans will set up a 'hindenberg line' just beyond naval barrage range IF they can.

they will harras with snipers if they are good, hit and run with MG42's/chrecks/flamers to delay, and force tank rushes into well placed guns!
SAVE NAVAL for big guns, dont waste them early!

I always go north and south,alloy AB to hold south,then put 2/3 armoured BGsbehind them.

remember many maps u can move into,but moving 'arrows' dont show(eg merville battery map to bois du bavent,always trust 'yellow areas' as movement areas.

strat moves.
1)pegases AB to go north and cut of german beach BG(they run out 100% ammo/fuel second turn). sit and wait for north german BG or I22 panzers. its a gun map,reinforce when they arrive for 6lb's(panzer only)

2)merville battery AB to move west to bois and wait.

3)6/6 AB to sit and wait at Ranville.
Support:
we should have 3 naval, 4 air strikes. germans usually have None.
use naval on gold/courseles/sword.
air on gold/juno/courseles/sword.

pray AB hold, i lost badly in practice run, spead forces to think on bottom VL,german massed infantry swamped me with marder 105mm support devistating...defend pegasus exit heavily.

likely germans strat moves.(remember they may simple move all BGs back as surprise tactic and wait in hedgerows OR out of Naval range)

and remember everybody we want a sitrep here after every battle, which includes the map name the two bgs involved as well as the name of your opponent.. damage report and area takin or lost make em short and to the point here, you can be as flamboyant as you like on your aars but we just want the facts here...good luck every body and have fun

wolfgrau played first game, he did really well, but didnt dislodge germans, but need to see if he got exit VL's!

we had a lag problem with wee and kor, so with consultation with wee/kor/bjorn and myself we decided to replay.

im waiting now to do so, then im going to be gone for most of the day,

NO STRAT MOVES!

Tried to play WeeFunk at about 10.30 am a.e.s.t but somthing weird going on with deploy area (grabed the battle file from here) deploy was all wrong and in thirds like ccv cap de la hague... when i opened it against ai it was correct deploy so WeeFunk did a uninstall/reinstall but still did the same... so not been able to check it against an online opponent yet....

kor and wolf, both excellent work!

A7 be worried now! we have 2 exit VLs, 1 total destruction of BG, and almost total voctory at 2 others! we can move 4BG's west next strat move!

Karain(anzac_loser) would LOVE to take A7 on as one of the AB units.

excellent stuff, keep it going!

charge!!!

ok big poblem. 1/3rd map deploy is caused by games not being saved at the end of game but instead being save after nexting thru to strat screen... the file we now have is corrupted.. the only choice is to roll it back till we are bug free or put up with the deploy as is... which in my opinion is an untenable situation for the ab....thoughts ?

Blackstump----> Try to remove all saves with this game. After that you should copy my save to folder "save" and than try to connect with your opponent.
Don't look at the map on single mode. If you did , do what I write at the top of my post.

dosnt work,, previous game or possibly previous games will have to be rebuilt to get rid of the deploy bug

me and stumpy tried me new recreat, and im telling you all, the allies have it tough!

i let stumpy use his morters, show his machin gun sites with cheap fast german inf, marders/half trucks with pak75 have NO MG34. so i chose 3 flame trucks, wasted 2 stupidly by attacking with no infantry support, lost one to RG and one to mills bomb.

still my third killed 2 teams and reaked havock on stumpys right flank!

forget the mansion on left!

forget hedgerows in front!

take town right, and blds, set up 2/3 vickers and 2/3 bren rifle teams, and piat teams, maybe 6lb and hold on!

dont run everybody flat out, germans have 2 8cm teams,4 morters hurt running AB!
maybe a scout team north west hedgerow, thats it, germans cant reach even if we crawl....CRAWL....
