"Actually I am looking forward to a Operation Market Garden that is not too complex. Though I am hoping they can still capture the flavor of this Operation!"

"O.K. that is true the war was lost at this point, but if Rommel could have gotten Hitler to release the Panzer reserves with-in the first day of the invasion it would have been a different time for the Allies.. I am not looking to see how it…"

Michael Hopcroft replied to David Lubin's discussion Should Rommel have rushed to the coast on D-day.

"Especially not in his declining mental condition (owing largely to the amphetamines and other stimulants he had become addicted to). We are forgetting that by now Hitler was delusional when it came to his own capabilities and those of the forces…"

"O.K. I am not commenting on who's strategy they should have followed (von Rundstedt or Rommel). What I am asking is: If Rommel went to see Hitler instead of racing for the coast could he have convinced Hitler (Hell even wake him) to…"

Dennis A. Spors replied to David Lubin's discussion Should Rommel have rushed to the coast on D-day.

"Hitler should have listened to FM von Rundstedt. Inflict the maximum casualties on the Allies but realize you cannot hold the line given their superiority on land and air. But again... we are talking about the Bohemian Corporal being logical."

Saipan & Tinian - Legion Wargames

O.K. this is my first game purchased (I also got The Jewish War) from Legion Wargames. So I was not sure what to expect.

Unfortunately, these last few months have seen all of my table space occupied by a large (24' x 26') expansion to my model railroad, Europabahn. (I haven't even opened the 'Hill of Death' game!

From there I would play online.
