Normandy 44 game 2 over

 Turn 6 and game over.  

4 attacks with rolls of 1,5,2 and 1.  The two 1 rolls were 4 to 1 attacks that would only fail on a 1.  Had all I could stand and quit.  If it makes me a big baby I don't give a shit.

Normandy 44 (second playing) end of turn 5

 Playing this one over VASSAL (lovely program) and have finished up turn 5.  Things are looking bad for my UK troops and good for the US.  If the UK can hold on and push the Germans back from the beaches it will be slog.  If not it will be over soon.  Lots of mistakes with the UK and a couple of bad DR (compensated by good DR on the US side) caused the mess there.

Normandy 44 continues! (Turn 14)

Lawrence and I continued our Normandy 44 game via vassal.

CLEAR SKIES!!!  The perfect weather leave JABOS flying all over the battlefield.  The Germans (me) rashly decided to attack anyway - there was a 50% chance of the jabos not showing up over any particular battle and only a 1 in 6 chance of them being a 3 column shift... 
First attack with Tigers went from a 3 to 1 down to a 1 to 2 and ended up a A1 result...
Second attack with Panthers went from a 2 to 1 down to a 1 to 3 and I forget what the exact outcome was but it was not good.  Yup, double sixes for the Allied air followed by bad combat results for the Germans.  German counter attacks out of Caen were now a thing of the past.

End of Allied part of turn 14.  The Jabos strike again!  Destroying what was left of my Panthers near Caen (strafing attack).  The US pulls off three attacks pushing the Germans back toward Cherbourg and nearly cutting the Cotentin.  The Commonwealth forces do not do nearly as well.  The attack along the cost is stopped by a DD and the other two attacks end up exchanges.  

If they do not get at least Overcast tomorrow the Germans are probably done for.

Normandy 44 continued via VASSAL (turns 12 and 13)

Lawrence and I continued our Normandy 44 game via Vassal due to Covid-19

German Turn 12 start.

Start of Allied turn 12.  German attacks are shown.  The Allies are pushed back in a few spots.

Results of Allied turn 12.  The Germans taketh and the Allies taketh back.  Allied attacks and results shown.

Results of German turn 13.  More attacks force the Allies further away from Caen.

The Allies do not attack on Turn13 and reorganize instead.

That was all the game time in for that day.  We would be playing a game a week on Friday's or Saturday for the foreseeable future.  Vassal is not as nice as FtF but does allow the game to be easily stowed and with no drive time to get to a game allows short game sessions.
