Tested in Very Hard/Furious.
When the scenario begins, move all of your movable units to Argentan,
Avaranches and Le Havre. Note that there are some in Rotterdam and
Amsterdam, and some in southern France. You have to do it quickly or it
is going to be too late. Put all planes on air superiority and
interdiction missions in Normandy, and hope they don\'t all get shot
down on the first day.
When the first Allied paratroopers arrive in Caen, attack them the
moment they land with all of the adjacent troops. Do not bother trying
to recapture Caen since the Allied marines will land there soon. When
they do, attack them with everything you have. If you are lucky, they
will be destroyed and you win easily. However if you are losing the
battle, do not be afraid to call off the attack.
The Allies will capture Cherbourg. If they attack your armies in
Avaranches, quickly attack the allied troops in Caen. This is important
to make sure that they can not attack effectively. Done properly, the
garrisons should hold.
After all of the armies have arrieved in Argentan, Avaranches and Le
Havre and their org is full (put them into offensive supply mode if the
org is low), attack Caen. If the invasion fails, wait until the org is
full and attack again and again until Caen falls.
Hold Caen and destroy the remaining allied troops in Cherbourg. Just put
enough troops in Caen and other beachheads and strategic victory is just
a matter of waiting.
