I respectfully challenge this conclusion Mr. Liquid Sky. In my current game, Mediterranean has been mostly under Allied naval control. But as you know, weather reduces control. However, Mediterranean is still doable since weather is not so bad all the time. Additionally, Mr. Bimmler did not ...

First of all, you are the best I have ever seen in defending Corsica. Sardinia, if the Allies invaded initially, will be taken no matter what the German player does.

The clock is ticking for the Allied commander. Even when the Allied commander knows full well the Axis intent to contest the ...

You made a comment about the islands of Corsica and Sardinia, in how you defend them rather than let them capitulate. Few Axis players do so, or are even capable to do so; but you do it well. You utilize the air supply to maximize logistics Mr. Seminole, while making sure all units are air ...

Greetings Mr. Seminole: Open Letter.

I wanted to hear your thoughts on Allies receiving additional administrative points. Ten more or said another way, two hundred percent. The minimum amount I felt needed to counter excessive Luftwaffe air naval. Many factors went into this amount for my final ...

Mr. Seminole's next point:
(Paraphrased) 'The Allies could land on Mainland Italy as first and only invasion'.

Kent response:
This is where I would take issue. I feel that despite Allies only landing in one site, Germany would still be able to disrupt the area long enough to isolate beach ...

Your second comment Mr. Seminole I respectfully disagree with. It is below:

"Concentrate on getting into the heel with landings that bypass the terrible terrain of the toe."

To your first part Mr. Seminole, I agree that ignoring Sardinia and Corsica can be done and that is what I have done in ...

The part I would take issue with is how much resistance these two islands could create if Sicily is under Allied control.

As you learned in the rematch, splitting forces early to try and take Sardinia and Corsica can end up dragging out the capture of Sicily (in that case into October).
In the ...

5 Point: Distractions of Italian islands: I am presently playing a 1943-1945 campaign game and have placed all emphasis on securing Sicily. Sardinia and Corsica do not matter, even if fortified by Germany. Once Italy surrenders, they will fall easily.

If deliberately defended by the Axis player ...

I don't have WITW yet, but I was wondering how Allied control of Corsica and Sardinia works in the game. Do they "go Allied" when Italy surrenders or do the Allies have to invade and conquer them?


Corsica and Sardinia will flip to Allied control at the Italian surrender, unless there are ...

I wish that was the case. The truth is much simpler and a bit lame. Sometimes my units there do not receive enough supply and have their CV decrease. Since I barely meet garrison requirements that causes problems. So I air supply them to get their CV back up and meet the requirements. It ...

Another thing is, I always configure the route to and from the target to weave between flak centers to the extent possible.

Flak is hard on morale, and the Brits end up flying over more of it due to their altitude restrictions and range to the Ruhr.

I go through a pretty tedious turn 1 repositioning my Air Force. Both to avoid over-allocation and to maximize escort/bomber overlap.

From the Commanders Screen you can access a production table and sort by U-Boats, etc. to see what cities you need to target, and their current estimated damage ...

Great AAR, fun read, sorry you were cheated of your ultimate prize.

Hope to see the rematch.

Your HQs show a checker pattern, whereas the original counter just says “HQ”.

Weather, supplies, fatigue, and % TOE (how close to fully staffed and equipped the unit is) all feed into your combat value.

If you’re dealing with mud is murders your attacking power.
If you suffered a retreat, you might have taken a lot of casualties that deplete your TOE and reduces combat power ...

thanks for checking!

Curious how this turned out.

Opponent resign?

I'm open to either side.
More interested in seeing the end result.

My first attempt at this scenario as the Soviets my opponent resigned after a few turns. I did use it as an opportunity to show that the current iteration of infantry motorization is overpowered, so I don't really blame the opponent ...

Seeking long haul opponent for Stalingrad to Berlin.

Want an opponent more interested in battling to the end and seeing what that is , rather than winning.

Open to house rules to try and maintain a historical and fun sim.

I wouldn’t recommend what you’re thinking. It won’t really be an enjoyable viewing experience, and you won’t be able to readily follow what is happening.

I’d suggest watching a YouTuber for insights and familiarization.

Game is huge fun, I’ve played the GG east front titles for decades, but I ...
