No sacrasm , some of my attacks have been to keep the germans from stockpiling, in certain units, as my intel shows them to be low on ammo most of the recent time. VPs are at a +tie.
"...Axis is swimming in supplies.."
Yes, but can they be gotten to every place on the map. Iam seeing a lack of ammo in "certain" sectors. Unlimited ammo in Rome does not help unless it reaches all the units on the line. Get what Iam saying. Dont want to show all cards.
Between rotating units on the line and rule 20.5.3. (Resupply during Combat) I'm not sure I see the relative advantage it will give you even as a means of degrading his response forces because it will raise and maintain his morale above the falling national level, and that is a lot more sticky than ammo, which can be replenished by pulling a unit off the line for a week (ammo is converted from general supplies delivered, the system doesn't track distinct stockpiles). Always interested in seeing how strategies I hadn't thought of will play out.
Task force. This battle was 2 hexes inland. I thought 1 hex was the limit and in that range Ive been using them. Recently did a search of manual for range and could not find it.
You're correct, I'm conflating that beachhead with the southern line. TF only hit the coastal hexes.
No arty, I see 1404 guns. Things are missing from the pic as it shows nothing off of Anzio wich has not been the case since last of OCT. Divisions have been maxed in the support dept. Why not showing I know not.
I now know, when you look at battle details the slider disappears.
It does look like a disaster.
I see what you mean, never noticed it disappearing and was afraid you had missed a chance to tip the scales with SUs. The Allies have bonus chances and allotments for artillery reserve allocation. Not seeing any artillery SUs I assumed the tubes displayed was organic to the divisions involved in the attacks (there were quite a few!). Strange that no engineering value at all was reflected. Did you not have your engineers embedded at the time of the screenshot? Or did they somehow just not show up (fail rolls? Can that happen?).
I've played the game to this point largely not paying much attention to SUs. Seeing so many near miss battles lately I know I need to focus more here, that's why I'm trying to confirm what I'm seeing in this AAR.
