This post and the next is dedicated on hex eight. Ironically, it took eight attacks to take it. Does seem like a theme. Ha. But instead of just showing one part of it I wanted to show the whole thing to give a feeling of how sometimes a single hex can become the center of attention ...

Fifth hex. This was a typical battle. However, I need to point out that the two hexes below (south) of this hex were not advanced into by Axis so Allies were able to move in at no cost this movement phase.

This post covers the first four hexes taken by Allies. All were attacked only once.

first Hex: Germany only lost 17 soldiers in this attack. Axis unit routed but look at the combat value. Sometimes when a unit is worn down it will fall apart, equivalent to shatter but not ...

Next turn will be heavy rain in Europe so I will change and move aircraft then. For now, same pattern of air missions.

For both phases Germany lost 261 aircraft while Allies lost 425. A difference of 164 in favor of the Luftwaffe. Ground phase will loose another 25 aircraft ...

First picture is of interdiction. I have circled 2-8. North region is strongly interdicted so attacks could be costly for Germany. I will try to place interdiction level for each attack.

March 11, 1944.

Much to cover for this turn. However, the big takeaway is that Mr. Bimmler has decided to have Germany withdraw north on Italy. This results in Rome being an open city. But the Axis are not far away; building a new defensive line.

Victory points for turn were negative 12. And I do ...

This hex shows the intensity of battle on Rome landing zone. It took two attacks to secure and then both German units routed. The cost was much.

March 4, 1944.

I am trying to think how to convey the turn without turning it into dozens of pictures. So what I think I will do is only take one picture per hex regardless of how many attacks. Unless it is important. That way attacks will not be lost in post after post for the same turn. Failed ...

Mr. Bimmler was able to meet garrison requirements for March of 1944 despite losses.

Rain is over Italy with light mud everywhere. Water levels are 2-5.

Germany attacked three hexes and one was created by my poor planning. I had moved a transported unit onto the port of Anzio, assuming Germany would not move a unit into it but instead retreat. Wrong on my part!

First picture is of that mistake. Mr. Bimmler did well in creating this ...

Final hex taken back in Rome section. Allies are often loosing more soldiers and material than Germany is but logistics in Italy can become problematic for Axis, as the rail limits supply.
