I also read Homer J Simpson’s daily posts.

Operation Cobra started on July 25, 1944 (70 years ago tomorrow). 1500 B-17s and B-24s dropped about 3000 tons of bombs with another 1000 tons of bombs and napalm dropped by medium bombers. Some of our own soldiers were killed by bombs falling short because our bombers dropped perpendicular to the road instead of parallel. Cobra allowed Patton’s 3rd Army to breakout across France.

Maybe time to pull out “Cobra” from the old Strategy and Tactics magazine.

It’s STILL a great game.
