Sicily to Brenner Pass Revised

[larryfulkerson]

Here's the Foggia area now. I'm surrounding the AA units there and I'm going to destroy all of them eventually.

[larryfulkerson]

It's about time to invade again and I need to know where the supply points are this time to avoid another Salerno. So I fired up the
Scenario Viewer and viola.......supply points.

[larryfulkerson]

The third one down in the list is (182,260) and that's in the middle of the water. I guess that's to supply ships eventually.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's the T45 front lines before anybody has moved:

[larryfulkerson]

Hey the Allies are starting to get the P-47 Thunderbolt. Here's a typical squadron.

... I need to know where the supply points are ...

Hmm ... since this version is designed for a German PO, I suppose it might be nice if I marked the locations on the map. As you point out, it is kind of important.

[larryfulkerson]

OK. It's T46 and Salernno was finally taken. It was a hard fight and I lost a lot of planes pounding the Germans but they lost a boat
load of equipment. I'm hoping to invade at Anzio now.

Maybe in the off-map area we could put a much smaller map with the locations marked somehow. Like the Campaign for South Vietnam
did w/ it's province map. Curt did a masterful job on that scenario. It's one of my favorites. THIS scenario ( Sicily to Brenner Pass ) is
getting to be fun now that I'm making some progress again. I've got Italian partisans in northern Italy that are tearing up roads and
blowing bridges and converting the road hexes. It's just a lot of fun. Thanks for talking me into playing this scenario.

I captured all the airports at Foggia when the city fell and so even though the supply level is '1' I'm thinking I can rotate planes through
there so that the short range Spitfires can reach further north and I wanted to project some interdiction w/ the P-40's if possible and
the airport at Foggia allows the P-40 to reach most of Italy as seen in the map.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's the Napoli - Salerno area now. I've swamped the Germans and I'm going to try another invasion just because I can. Practice for
Anzio.

[larryfulkerson]

I chose the theater option to combine the separate units into one Brigade. It looked good on paper.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's the T48 front lines. Supply is the biggest problem. I'm having to rotate units in and out of active service and rest them when
they get below 50% supply. But we're pushing north and resistance is light so far.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's how the air war is going in T48:

Wow, much respect to Curt for putting that solution together ! I love that idea, but I started fiddling with it and it quickly became complex, so I decided on a simplier solution for this scenario, see below.

[sPzAbt653]

Maybe a little subtle, but as I scrolled around I found them easy to spot.

[sPzAbt653]

And another look ...

[larryfulkerson]

That solution works nicely. I like it.

Here's the T49 front lines:

[larryfulkerson]

OK. It's T50 and I see this screen. I'm pretty sure it's a British squadron that's being withdrawn. There's no notation about the
nationality of the unit so I'll have to look it up and set it aside.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's the T50 front lines. I'm moving north in a couple of places and I have reason to believe I can overcome the resistsance near
Napoli

[larryfulkerson]

I'm starting to run into massive resistance in the Cassino area.
