🔥 Winning as Allies
1. Historically, the Allies had a hard time attacking Belle-Lande, so your forces on the right flank will be facing a challenge if they attempt to cross the open land into the two defended hexes on the right. It may be better to pursue the ridge on the right and the hedgerows on the left for the Infantry forces. Then your Armor can attack from a distance to soften the town defenses before you launch your Infantry against it.
2. Every hex of Belle-Lande is a Temporary Medal Objective. Taking out just two hexes of Infantry and moving in, will gain you four of the five Medals needed to win.
🔥 Winning as Axis
1. This is primarily a defensive role for the Axis. Stay behind your sandbags and fire away.
