[jcb989]

Concur (well, except for the BG comment. They are dissolved for 10% penalty, and whose survivors will be enjoying some time on the beach shortly)

See the Sherman wreck there? Had I been able to remove it, the M5 could have gone 2 more hexes... ah well, you're right, we started our final assault 1 turn late.

6 turns left in Thaon.

Was offered a unconditional surrender in Colombelles and have accepted. Need confirmation from Allies and I will post casualties.

[Honour79]

Battle of Thaon over after heavy fighting in the last turns.
Germans hold Road to Rauray 5VP, Road to Bayeux 3VP and West farm 3VP. Germans win and the Allied BG have to retreat after fighting bravely against the impenetrable frontal armour of the German panthers.

Thanks for a good game ProtectiveDaddy!

Then we are waiting for Columbelles... Have the Allies responded to the ceasefire yet?

[morge4]

Just in the game...no official word here. Am holding off on posting the results until that happens...

[Honour79]

Okay, so how many turns left?

[Coreysr]

Confirmed

[morge4]

German counterattack at Colombelles is successful. Allies surrender!

Here are the casualties and flags. As the Allied BG has nowhere to retreat, I believe it is removed and dissolved (correct me if I misspoke).

All June 14th battles have been played. Here's the updated OOB: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/535 ... %20OOB.xls

And the map showing the positions in the morning of June 15th before any orders have been issued. Supplies has reached 25/12SS, 914/352 and 915/352 during the night. Meanwhile 45/RM still has no line of supply, but have supplies left for two more days.

Just a reminder of the weather:

June 11th - Cloudy (fighter-bombers grounded)
June 12th - Cloudy
June 13th - Clear
June 14th - Clear
June 15th - Clear

Both sides will now plan next days orders.

That's a nice way of saying the destruction of said drubbings

[jcb989]

Hey, our side is just happy to be able to say we've got two elite units hitting the beachheads again this turn! =)

[LandMarine47]

As long as they aren't behind our lines!
Besides we have Tigers and Panthers coming on the 15th!
All of our big cats in one package! It brings tears to my eyes
