Post #472242

Got sidetracked while working on old WW2 situation maps. If you read up on history, there were real talks between the United Sates and the UK about the possibility of landing a force in France in 1942 (2 years before the real D-day). There was worry that the Soviet Union would fall and then all of the German division on the Eastern Front would return. The problem in 1942 is that the UK would have fielded most of the troops for the invasion. I took the situation map used on June 6 1944 and then tried to figure out where a much smaller invasion force would try to land. Note there would be no attempt to break out and take a town like Caen. The goal was to just hold the Cotentin peninsula. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Sledgehammer
