Ouch! Lots of Ju-88's going down -- and they're about the best bombers you've got. How are your reserves, if you can tell us without tipping your hand?
Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers?

not really...but since this is a beta playtest....Chuck and I tend to share info. My 88 reserves are low. I set German replacement rates fairly low to represent the fact that the Luftwaffe has more pressing concerns elsewhere as well as to simply reduce indirectly the intensity of air ops on the game. Essentially The DAK/Fleigerkorps X can't afford to loose too many bombers or fighters all at once.

Tobruk, despite my fighter sweeps is looking to be a little too hot for my unescorted strikes from the Aegean sea area. Oh well.....at least we pounded Ajax good.

Ultra intercepts report that the Germans in North Africa are suffering a critical shortage of the Junkers 88. With that knowledge the British will surely be invincible... [:'(]

To be honest, I was extremely relieved to see that. Based on my prior performance I'm beginning to think I'm WITP's worst battleship admiral. I was certain I was going to need to scuttle her.

Enemy bombers have staged into Crete to attack allied shipping. Is that the infamous Operation Gyro? Allied fanboys have no fear - Operation Souvlaki is in progress...

In other news Axis forces have now entered Barce. General Auchinleck has been quoted as saying, "Bring it on, Barney Boys!"

Italian Ro43 flotplanes in ships should only be used once. Regia Marina didnt recovered floatplanes they went to harbours when lucky...

To be honest, I was extremely relieved to see that. Based on my prior performance I'm beginning to think I'm WITP's worst battleship admiral. I was certain I was going to need to scuttle her.


bah! we'll get her next time.......intel indicates that CL Ajax sank while trying to make Alexandria. HA! we rock...the CL is the lifeblood of the Royal Navy

Now that looks to be an impressive fight. Let's see how well the game engine handles desert combat with armored vehicles -- something you didn't see too much of in the Pacific.
Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers?

Probably not very well... If the August Storm scenario is anything to go by...

actually, using the pursuit mode/shock attack, the August storm scenario works pretty well though it's still a challenge to get to Korea before the scenario ends. I didn't have high hopes for this attack due to the time it took to get there. Part of this had to do with Pwhex issues, part of it was due to follow-all command bug issues but part of it was my bad strategy as well. (Should have shocked with pursuit)

Anyway turned out better than I thought. Regardless of the battle's outcome though, i'm now thinking i made a boo boo by upping Tobruk's fort level from 2 to 6. (probably higher now!) I kept forgetting that this scenario covers Rommel: Reloaded, vs. his first foray into Libya and this time the Brits would be far less prepared to survive a seige there where the defenses had been allowed to decay. I have little hope of taking the fortress even if i surround it. I'm also concerned about the very low level of support present in the Axis LCU's.

Interesting -- was there no bombardment attack from the Allied side? There is certainly no shortage of guns. Perhaps Barce is already low on supplies.

Yep. Supplies aren't in the red yet, but they are deeply in the orange, despite a Fast Transport TF I snuck in. I'll try to withstand one more attack at Barce, but it's not looking good... [:(]

In other news, radio intercepts over the last couple days have confirmed the sinking of a second Italian AK and two Italian DMs. Such a crushing blow to the Italian Navy will surely lead to an early capitulation...
