I will like to know in which turn did the German troops, deployed at Periers Ridge ( Elements of the 736th Rgt/ 716 Div, 4th 11th and 12th Companies), were allowed to enter the table and attack Benouville.

Pablo, I'm sure they were deployed and on the table from the very begining.

Pablo,

In the pre-game time table I think they were due to come on / activate on move 20.

However, as we only reached move 18 on Saturday evening and they where already in action, I think this was brought forward.

I know 'G' was commanding these tanks, so probably best to ask him.

Hope this helps.

Don, the tanks that G had are Kampfgruppe Oppeln, and not the same units Pablo is asking about, Elements of the 736th Rgt/ 716 Div, 4th 11th and 12th Companies were part of Dave C's command and I'm sure were deployed on Periers Ridge from the start.

Simon, Pablo

Sorry, yes the troops you are talking about did start on the other table.

They did not arrive for a number of moves, as they had to march from one table to the next.

They are on some of my early pictures of the game, so I would guess about move 4 or 5.

I know that Dave C had these troops and they were attacking Benouville without tank support at the beginning of the game. I am just curious to know at what time they reach Benouville.
I will send a PM to Dave C.
Thank you all very much for the responses.
Cheers
Pablo
