It Never Snows turn 2 [errors in play ignore]

Edit – this was part of our erroneous play, too many Brits on map in Turn 2,

After barrages and nominal road move we notice an illegal Allied move. We adjust that in the movement phase.

82nd Airborne takes and clears of explosives the Son Bridge :



Attacks clear volkstrum, and the OOS arty unit. Which will alleviate supply issues later this turn. The outskirts of the town are attacked but we only manage a step loss. Note that no arty or air went in effectively in the city.


This highlights the Exploit phase moves.

Which will place several units OOS. Im ok with this as the Germans have little that can attack effectively. By pressing deeper we not only put the westward units holding the city OOS but we can get eyes on and barrage deeper into the map. A lot of reinforcements for the Germans arrive this and next turn if I recall. So we need to be at the outskirts to catch them on the hop!

Here are the OOS units at the end of Turn 2:


As I looked at this, I realized I would be better off encircling the enemy up close and personal, So I adjust my exploit phase move like so:


Those adjustments effectively block the supply for all German units there at the moment.


Germans move units Into the Frame. Some poor road mgt fouls up progress, but they should be where they need to be in time for a show down in Eindhoven.

 

Edit: I have made some mistakes here zooming around in VASSAL..ugh.

I’m going to quickly re start.
