There is no need to follow the path of retreat , advances are free in terms of direction after the first hex. Units with an MA of 7 or higher may advance 3 hexes, but both the second and third hex must be along a road. For example, the Germans might pick the 2 SS divisions on the North Map on Day 1. They can jointly attack any hex or hexes each PA phase with no penalty. The Germans can wait to see a day s supply roll before designating.
German player designates first.
Thanks to Joe Youst for pointing out the degree to which both sides employed multi-divison assaults. Thus, american 6-5 infantry can conduct them, but only in conjunction with tanks or assault gun units. Never MA in a marsh, regardless of roads. Only two units may move at a time and conduct an MA, and they must start and end moving together. Resolve MA s just like PA s, taking into account all normal shifting.
