Over ninety-four thousand troops and eleven thousand vehicles were landed on the first day. They met little resistance from German forces as they moved inland, since many enemy troops had been diverted to fight the Allied forces in Northern France after Operation Overlord.

Setup Notes
I've limited each side to three fighters (P-38L/P-51D/P-47D-11 vs Bf 109G-10/FW-190A8/FW-190D9) and one primary Jabo (P-47D-25 and Fw 190F-8). Although the P-51D and P-38 have heavy Jabo capabilities, their use for this campaign was a combination of bomber escort and CAS for ground forces. Most P-38's and P-51D will have little time to Jabo considering the Dora and G-10 is in the arena. The Me 262 will be perked heavily to avoid over-use. I am setting up the BOB map for a southern attack to simulate the northern push into France.
