Thank you, it's what I thought.

For my edification, and others, why or how does it get 'tricky' in France? I can almost guess the answer, but am somewhat curious, and wouldn't mind your observations.

Not that I know of, not a penalty as such. Turn on the Logistics view and it shows Depots, their 'handling/capacity', their priority number and color coding for how well the rail net is handling traffic.

Turn on Factory view to show railheads (good place to build Depots).

Thank you. Yes, as a generalization, mountain hex entry can be 'difficult'.

Does thirty qualify as 'some'? Oh well, we've beaten this to death. The code is the code at the moment.

I just don't see how they get any numbers at all if they ain't flyin'. Oh well, it's not a game breaker, the actual losses are minor, but very annoying.

<r> Correction - the Axis does have Port to Port supply. That's why, in the Tunisia scenarios, you need to hit Axis Ports hard with your air forces. Also, your naval air patrols, for sea hex Interdiction and sea lane denial. Later, in other scenarios, you want naval air command to ensure <I><s>[i ...

<t> Thanks, appreciate the encouragement. Basically, I'm just noting my progress as I learn more about how to do things and maybe some people new to the game will benefit. I played WitP:AE for a while, so I wasn't completely adrift when I started, but a Grigsby/Matrix design can be daunting to ...

I scoped it out and it looks like what I was thinking of is outside the WitW forum.

<t> Well, if one wants to call it subs ('cuz it's pretty much nothing else if the oppo ain't flying), I can live with that - the losses in BG Italy from Tunisia to the mainland are more an annoyance than anything else, even though the historicity of that by late '43 is somewhat debatable.<br/>

The Germans essentially invented the assault rifle, but they should've done it in 1936, they were too little, too late. Excellent machine gun, though - MG42.

I didn't say anything about control. Control only triggers isolation and makes own naval transport losses much lower. Otherwise neutral hexes considered as CONTESTED SHIPPING, thus triggering potential transport losses. <br/>

<t> I wasn't really getting into game modelling, more addressing a poster and trying to get certain things on the record.<br/>

The US Army was wholly motorized, in the sense that all transport was such. And 'straight legs' rode, where practicable or needed. Any hardly any animal transport ...

<t> Let's not forget that even as late as 1944, something like 60% of Wehrmacht transport was horses.<br/>

<t> Oh and Ports exerting control - I'm going to have to refresh myself on the rule, but, as pertains above - how are Axis Ports exerting any naval control beyond immediate hexes, or maybe two or three? With what, fishing smacks? I'm sorry, but Helpless's answer was a bit baffling to me - please don ...

<r> I'm still learning the mechanics of the Air War, so a lot of my stuff is still autopilot. That still begs the question, though - if the Axis is flying next to no sorties, how is any control whatsoever being exerted?<br/>
<br/>
And if I may, let's return to the model. Let's just stick to the ...

Thank you, I did read your thread. However, I'm flying over a 1000 sorties a Turn against next to no opposition, from what I can see. So how is the Axis exerting any control over anything?

Not to mention an incongruent model, I would say.
