Merveille Battery
 

Hi all!

Well, I whas thinking. If the British paratroopers failed to take Merveille Battery, and the battery whas still in German hands on the morning when the beach landings started. I mean this could hapen in the game.
Now lets say the Germans still held the gun battery on the morning. This whuld have lead to chaos on the beaches. If the battery is in Germans hands it would be historical correct too give the them something like a "allied naval barrage"

What do you guys say?

impossible to model into the game.
maybe its possible to write something into the readme stating "germans may use support only if..." - but i dont know if its possible at all to give germans naval.
anyway, i love merville the way it is. its the key to pegasus, entering it from ranville is next to impossible, even if only AB defend it.

The artillery barrage is a joke anyway - more like an 8cm mortar barrage...
Besides, the guns in Merville were only French 75s, they could scarcely reach the nearest beach - the Paras stormed it thinking there were 10.5s or 15cm cannons there.

It´s true, the Allies attacked Merville thinking there were a battery of four 150 mm guns. They only found 75 mm guns.
