panzerkyle,

Sorry about your situation.

Been there several times.

Know that getting new job can be a full-time drag on your time and energy.

Let me know if there is anything I can do.

If you want to meet for coffee, I can offer some job-searching tips.

 

Look forward to seeing you again when cash flow is reliable and you have the time and energy to jump back in.

Greetings comrades excellent news from the front our attack a merville was a crushing success destroying both the  airborne and the 51 highland divisions.  Bad luck for the 51 3 times destroyed in one war.  The tommys right flank is now crushed all we have to do now is roll up the beaches and drive the last of the rats back into the sea.  

 

There is movement in the American sector but high command is confident that they can be contained.

For Thursday, AUG 6, my Canadian armor will be ready (minus the infantry) for Battles 5 or 6.

However, I will need to borrow 1 or 2 platoons of infantry to proxy for the canadian inf:
Rifle Platoon-Comd Rifle/MG, Light Mortar, PIAT, 6x Rifle/MG

If we do battle 6, I will also need to borrow artillery and an AOP to proxy for this firestorm unit:
BR 1 Corps Arty: CT-Medium Battery-Comd Rifle, Observer/OP Carrier, Staff, 4x BL 5.5”, AOP

 

I can use Soviet tanks to proxy for the Cromwells or Churchills

I'm pretty certain we'll be doing Battle Arrow #9 tomorrow.

Nice to see someone working one of the other US areas.  I've been working the 2nd Armor Div with 4th Inf Div angle on the far right flank of Utah Beach.  And I know there has been lots of work being done on the British side.
