A Battle Group that is out of supply and is low on fuel can capture fuel from enemy
major supply dumps. To use enemy fuel, the Battle Group must occupy the dump; once
it leaves the dump, the fuel supply starts to diminish as normal. Enemy major supply
dumps only provide fuel on site; no supply line is created. Unfortunately, enemy supply
dumps do not provide ammunition.

dumps only provide fuel on site; no supply line is created. Unfortunately, enemy supply
dumps do not provide ammunition.
In addition to loss of supplies, units that are out of supply have a more difficult time
repairing damaged tanks. A Battle Group whose ammunition supply has reached “low”
only has a 75% chance for damaged tanks to be replaced to the force pool. A Battle
Group whose supply level has reached “none” is unable to repair tanks at all until it
gets re-supplied.

Strategic Turns
Each strategic turn represents several hours of fighting. There are two strategic turns
over the course of a day. Reinforcement Battle Groups only arrive on the morning turn.
During each strategic turn, you may move each Battle Group you control, and assign any
air strikes, mortar barrages, or naval barrages that are available. If you feel it necessary, you

During each strategic turn, you may move each Battle Group you control, and assign any
air strikes, mortar barrages, or naval barrages that are available. If you feel it necessary, you
may also disband any Battle Groups. When you have finished your turn, hit
Execute; this
brings up the Strategic Results screen. The game is automatically saved at this point.
After reviewing the results of your decision, you play out any consequent battles in
random order.

Moving Battle Groups
To move a Battle Group, left-click
on the Battle Group. When the
Battle Group is selected, movement
arrows will appear pointing to all
areas that the Battle Group may
legally move to. After you have
decided where you want to move
your Battle Group, you drag it to
an adjacent territory. Battle Groups
in uncontested territories may move
along any connecting road. In areas
that are of mixed control, you may
only move along roads for which
you hold the victory locations.

The Strategic Results screen indicates the outcome of the moves for the turn and if any
battles are to occur. To fight the battles listed, or to advance to the next strategic turn
left-click on Next. The order in which the battles are fought is from north to south and
from west to east.

left-click on Next. The order in which the battles are fought is from north to south and
from west to east.
Note: Each side is only allowed to have one Battle Group in each region at a time.
You may move a Battle Group into a region that you already occupy. However, if the
group currently in the region does not move out of it, the other group will not advance. If
you order two units into the same location, the orders issued to the second unit cancel out
the orders given to the first. It is possible for more than one unit to use a road, so units
may switch places. When ordered to do so, a two-way arrow is displayed on the map.

All movement on each turn happens simultaneously. If two adjacent enemy forces move
at each other, the battle occurs on the map of the slower Battle Group. Reconnaissance
groups are faster than motorised groups, and motorised groups are faster than infantry. If
the German and American Battle Groups are the same speed, the tie goes to the
Germans and the battle is fought on the American map.

Resting and Digging In
A Battle Group that does not move during a strategic turn is considered to have rested.
Battle Groups that have rested recover lost morale and have time to dig in.

If a Battle Group that is resting is attacked, it defends its map from prepared positions.
When an infantry or support unit is placed on an open stretch of ground, a trench or gun
pit is placed under them, providing cover where there was previously none. These fortifi-
cations are permanent, and appear on the battlefield in future battles. Enemy troops are
unaware of field fortifications until they have a line of sight, so what may appear to an
attacker as an open field on a map could actually be a vast network of enemy trenches.

Infantry trenches are dug based on the unit’s facing, so it is important to establish facing
