That is a unit with 13 movement allowance (as GrenGds) just moves 3 hex per activation on the Club route and need something like 15 activations to reach Nijmegen ? It is then impossible to launch an attack before night on september 19th with the Guards Grenadier against the Nijmegen bridge as they have done historically with some 82nd units. Thanks in advance

The recce Unit comes in before club route is declared and so moves using normal road rads until club route is declared. Many of the grenadier guards will get to Nijmegen early on the 20th by design, as this is when they launched their first major attack (Adam may want to weigh in more on this).

The shortest path to Nijmegen is around 50 hexes and the fastest units (the mounted infantry) move 4 hex per activation : they need 13 moves to reach Nijmegen. Each turn they may advance when the division activation chit is drawn (if not moving into an enemy firing zone), when the direct command is drawn by spending command points (around 6 command points received each turn for the Guards Armored division), when the formation is drawn : with a dispatch rate of 4, the division receives one dispatch point every two turns. Conclusion : from 11.00 to 19.00 (5 turns) the fastest units may be activated 12,5 times and be very closed to Nijmegen. Is it correct and a design effect ? Thanks in advance, Best regards

We didn't want the entire force to be in Nijmegen before the 20th, but the majority should arrive on the 20th and be able to (attempt to) capture the road bridge on that day.
