Renown and Repulse maybe? Think the rear one is Repulse.

Three attacks are announced. Do the French want to use the notional for the Paradrop? The odds are 2:1 without and 3:2 with?

Yes, that is frustrating. Especially annoying when dropping a para.

What hex is it? Do you have the combat factors?

Defensive units 14 + 4 possible notional

Attacking units (from memory) German infantry, German mountain, Italian Militia, Italian motorised? and two divisions? = 11+12 or 13= 23 or 24.

Best I can do, if no good then I'll have to come out and re-do the turn.
