stjeand(Axis) vs ComadrejaKorp(Allied) France All in

[stjeand]

Pretty pleased with no air losses.


Now on to France.

[stjeand]

AARs are WAY more work than I have time for.

So before and after pics.

I am going to go differently than ComadrejaKorp and go slow and steady to see...

After my first attack on France, basically just pushed the front line back.

[stjeand]

Turn 2 into France...one more row...BUT line is getting thinner...as are the Axis armor.

Hoping to spread it a bit next turn.

What is the date please?

[ComadrejaKorp]

What is the date please?

June 7th

The second turn of May when the German attack began, France had not received yet 40 anti-tank.

They finally received it in the first turn of June, but with the loss of Lille, France receives less pp and the few it does receive were destined for replacements, not to upgrade troops.

This is a big problem, for a good defense France needs antitank.

Fortunately for the good guys, there was no blietzcrieg, I think the situation in France would be much worse now.

The addition of delayed Allied technology and good weather in May is fatal for France, but I think the Allies can ruin the Axis game even with these bad cards.

We'll see, so far Stsauron is crushing me.

I would love to know that status of this game. Dis the All-In defence cripple Germany, or was Stsauron able to conquer France without too many losses?

[stjeand]

Sadly I got hammered. We were just testing the all in...so not planning to play beyond.

In my game I believe I lost 2 armor, 1 mech and a infantry if I remember.
Sorry stopped it a while back as we were just trying to prove a point.
Losses were far to high...

Need to test it a few more times. My slow and steady is more disjointed and my units disliked retreating.


My last few games have been plagued by bad luck and inept leadership.
I rush to much...so changing some tactics and hoping to go slower.

Losing 2 Armour a mechanized and an infantry in France is a lot. But whether or not it is too much depends also on what units, if any, the UK lost. If the UK lost 600 to 800 production in shattered units than this is not a terrible exchange. Not good, but not terrible.
