Garrisons in victory cities

@The_Good_Captain Example 2.

@The_Good_Captain Also, from page 9:

Axis & Allies: D-Day is played in a series of turns. A turn consists of one pass through the sixteen order cards, and then a check for victory.

Since victory is checked at the end of each turn, the Allies must hold the required zones until the end of turn 10.

Thank you so much?

I’ve found that if Germany plays hard to Cherbourg and cuts off the US beach landings, then it’s the hardest to take.

Welcome, Sarge85!

In that situation, the Allies would win.  They need to control all three cities at the end of two consecutive turns.

Our little group has played four games of D-Day so far and the axis won the first three by holding St. Lo. the fourth game was a narrow allied victory only because we added two more rounds to the game. At the end of ten rounds the axis still held St. Lo as usual. It took the two extra rounds for the allies to get it. We are now looking for ways to vary the game so that it does not play out the same every time. One idea I like is to increase the attack value of the allied airborne units to two. I am even thinking of having the two sides place their own units where they will for the starting setup. I would like to vary the unit types as well. We now have added many new types of units since this game was printed. This might require setting up a D-12 system.

The circles are just there to highlight the victory cities.  They have no effect on game play.  Each city is contained within one zone.
