ultradave(WA) vs scout1(Ger), '43-'45 Campaign (Turn 88, Mar 3, '45)
First campaign game for either of us and first against a live opponent for me and I think for Scott. I'm trying to get a handle on air losses. They seem high but I don't have experience to compare to. Any comments are welcome. After turn 2 I took a more active role in air directives. Turn 5 though was just setting priorities and executing. Did quite a bit of damage to u-boat production (at least by the report back).

Here is the situation after my turn 5. Pushing north is hard going. Probably shouldn't broadcast this to Scott but we're using this as a learning experience and we're in contact everywhere so he probably sees most of it.

Performing a staged withdraw ...... The Sicilian boys out on the west coast must fend for themselves .....

As seen from the German perspective .... one interesting aspect ... German G2 ALWAYS seesm to predict 35 enemy aircraft down for the current turn .....

Air losses seem to be under control on both sides, but as Scott says, he can't play 1 for 1 forever

Your southernmost british amphib can go back to port if you want, the other one will maintain both beaches.

Good point. I had already moved back one of the US ones, and meant to do that and forgot (lots to keep track of!!).

They did in our reverse game for me also, so we're about even on that one.

RE: ultradave vs scout1, '43-'45 Campaign

RE: ultradave vs scout1, '43-'45 Campaign

Turn 17 and the weather is still atrocious. It's mud everywhere in Europe. It's raining everywhere in Europe. Well, that is except where it is snowing.
In the boot of Italy things are at a stalemate. The weather makes it hard to attack at all. Really need a break in the weather. Europe has been socked in for a month straight now.

Did you get off a 2nd invasion onto the Italian mainland yet?
RE: ultradave vs scout1, '43-'45 Campaign
Working on that. Soon, soon.
