The Allied hope is that with this hex taken, this sector of the Italian contact line will be broken. This will also remove the final remaining adjoining mountain hexes.

Attack four: A pickup in losses for both sides.

Following is an attack that took only one time to take the hex. Germany lost a lot in this too. In yellow I circled the 14 artillery points and 20 engineer points.

What is really interesting about this attack is the breakdown of odds. Because of all these special units, the odds went ...

I want to balance out what I am showing because it looks like Allies are winning all the time. This is not the case and only about one out of five attacks are victorious. Meaning, defeating a hex. Below is a hex the Allies attacked four times. But here is the important part. The hex ...

I forgot to show on the contact line where a unit had surrendered. It was an Italian SS regiment.

It took two attacks to force capitulation. It had been on a mountain hex (Yellow arrow) but moved away from front and onto a rough hex.

Wanted to show how the ground phase went in Italy. pretty good really. Allies took the empty hexes but also was able to capture additional hexes. Following is new contact line. green is static while red areas are advancement.

The game is getting close to a potential crescendo; The Allied invasion of Europe. I would prefer that, rather than a catastrophe. Ha.

Victory points for turn were 3 and game total is 246.

Rain is over whole map with light mud everywhere. Water level is 3-5.

Germany did no attacks ...

Greetings Mr. Red Lancer, hope your day is going well. I have a problem with my drafts from certain posts. I have four of them that did not self delete when the post was activated. They are from May and June of 2026. Since then I have been reluctant to use the draft save function since there seems ...

Thank you for your comment Mr. Liquid Sky. My bad for not stating clearly on what each category is. WitW is of a scale such that very little of it ever gets near tactical in production. I suppose aircraft would be the nearest though. Any way, when I sometimes write armor division, I am including it ...

In the next few weeks I (Allies) will expand the reconnaissance of France. This will include the western coastline as well as neighboring countries, such as Belgium and Netherlands. Of course eastern France will be included. A couple weeks before the invasion I will place strategic bombing ...

Hello and thank you for your question Mr. TM1. The first part of your comment I would like to address now. Italy has indeed become a killing zone for both sides. My hope, (Allies) is to wear down the Axis units by continually retreating, routing and then reconstituting, and finally by being isolated ...

Following hex taken is a result of previous attack. The German 71 Infantry Division retreated before to this hex but now it routed.

It took two attacks to take this hex. Allies lost a thousand soldiers on the first attack, while Germany only lost ...

May 13, 1944.

First hex took two attacks to take. In first attack there was 9 artillery points, 30 engineer points which brought down fortification from three to one. There was also 54 infantry points. Still German units remained. Ratio was one to one. Yet 31 Axis armored vehicles were destroyed ...

weather is clear in the sky so will conduct air missions heavily for another turn. Rain is coming next turn so Air will rest that week.

Germany did no ground attacks nor any air missions. One thing to note is that Mr. Bimmler did ...

May 6, 1944.

Following hex took two times to take. In first attack losses are even but fortification goes from 3 to 1. That is really good. Look at the amount of artillery, engineers, and finally, infantry points. Armor has been destroyed so now no armored vehicles for Axis units. There was not ...

Due to rain being this turn and next over Europe, Allies will conduct full air missions for each day.

Italy will be done the same way but this will include strategic bombing since Germany withdrew. No good tactical targets for two engine level bombers to attack. By the way, all two ...
