Default Re: A challenge for RetLT: Invasion of Spain

The defenses are a bit stronger than I expected. Hopefully close air support and better troop quality can make the difference.

Use air support as close air and bring the tanks. 460 men vs a full regiment is a tough fight. We may need to divert a regiment from the Valencia landing to assist. At the minimum the US glider unit may have to assist.

Due to the fact that the invaders will be outnumbered I suggest that all landing be at one beach. This way we face only part of the defending force at once. A snake swallows an elephant one bite at a time.
