Vengeance vs Typhoon, and associated matters

[Graham Boak]

No, but if you read the campaign histories you will find that the advance was slower than expected (and planned) because of the tendency of the leading units to stop upon reaching opposition and call up the fighter-bombers. Generals require a certain amount of "press-on-itis" from their troops and some of the more veteran British units were thought lacking. Which is one way to become a veteran rather than a casualty, of course, but can tend to extend the war.
