Salerno '43 (GMT Games) - Operation Avalanche [Part 1] 

Love your videos, perfect mix of explanation and gameplay.

6:59 The truck replaces the unit's own movement allowance. So, the truck had 5/2=3 movement points plus 3 from extended movement (6 in total). The movement allowance of the unit being transported doesn't matter. 9:55 A beachhead only gets the bonus defense strength if the helping allied units are adjacent to both the beachhead and the attacking German unit. So, there were spots where the Germans could have avoided this bonus. The beachheads get eliminated by *EX* and *DR* results too so there's often a chance. They can't retreat after all. In this situation they had a combined defense of 8. Especially after the tank and elite bonuses it doesn't seem that bad, right? But I'm no expert of the strategy of this game. I just know the rules (I think). 12:17 Sugar beach is not closed on turn 1. After that, it's closed. *24.4.3*

Love the addition of the roosters

30.28 you don't get an elite shift because the defender is elite

30:24 - you don't get a shift for elite units, because British commandos are also elite. See rules: 9.7 Elite Shift If the attacker has an Elite unit in his MAF and the defender does not have any Elite units in the defending hex, then the attacker earns one column shift right on the CRT. The Elite Shift can never be earned by the defender.
