Over the Reich - McMonkey vs. JPetroski

When I find some time later I'm going to share some thoughts on balancing. I would briefly leave you to consider this:

Should the Germans get a dialogue box about 950 points in warning about D-Day and allowing them to build the Atlantik Wall?

I'm thinking that they get three options:

Concentrate in Calais
Concentrate in Normandy
Concentrate in Brittain

Depending which they choose, all three regions are reinforced, but the primary region is heavily reinforced.

Thoughts?
 
Sorry it took me so long...

So what I'd basically propose is that you can pick one of the three regions to put 2x shore batteries, 2x 3.7cm, 2x 88mm Flak, 10x Infantry, 4x Artillery, 2x Panzer

In the other two regions you can get exactly half that per coastal city:

1x shore battery, 1x 3.7cm, 1x, 88 mm, 5x Infantry, 2x Artillery, 1x Panzer

I am thinking that 950 points should trigger this. I'm at 930 or so right now.

Allies Turn 65

Very slow, boring turn where absolutely nothing happens... No cause for alarm. Go about your day and enjoy your liederhosen...

Apologies again for the delay. I was out for a few beers with an old friend last night.

Every time I see you have posted I wince as I click to open the thread & see what misfortunes have befallen my Reich, so seeing no news is a glorious relief. Sadly it probably just means you're massing for something really big in the next few turns!
 
Allies Turn 66

The build up continues - no news.

I'm slowing down a bit - just had a very challenging month at the office and it took everything out of me. Hopefully stuff calms down soon!

Axis Turn 67

Two P51s and one A26 shot down by flak near Antwerp.

The Regensburg/Schweinfurt victory was a nice little bonus at a time when things are looking increasingly bleak for the Axis!

Allies Turn 68
-I've triggered the 1,000 points necessary to initiate D-Day, so if you are going to take me up on the reinforcement offer from a few turns ago, now would be a good time to do it.
-No other news (trigger was from supply ships)

These turns are starting to get long, apologies for the delay. Anyway, we make several attacks at Cherbourg and Calais, killing some defenders and losing several aircraft, but aren't able to empty either.

I'm about 1/3 of my way through my turn - these are getting long now that D-Day approaches!
