Are you speaking of German command structure, because I think I have mine pretty well sorted? There are a few divisions out of position a bit due to organizing for attacks or following success but other than that everyone is within their command capacity (you can see the collection of Corps HQ's behind the lines). Supplies are flowing.

Yes, they are referring to the Germans ..... Again, my attention to the logistics detail has been lacking .....[8|]

No problem. Comments on what we're doing are welcome. We're both trying to learn the game. First 43-45 campaign for each of us.

Dave, do you have the resources to invade southern France? I am playing my first PBEM and I invaded nothern France in the exact same location as you and I am stuck just north of Naples. I landed in southern France just west of Nice and my opponent had not stripped the EF but had stripped south France of everything except security units and a handful of broken down infantry divisions in regiment size. I landed and took Marseilles and Nice and Toulon in two turns and I have moved north for two turns now and not ran into the German 9th Army. It looks like he was not at all ready for another invasion and now I am pulling units out of Italy and declaring that a static front and southern France is looking like it could unhinge his entire war front.

I wholeheartedly agree with Dave ... we're trying to learn here ...... He's been a better student than I thus far but I intend to make up for that ....

Rules are a bit tough for me to read .... didn't get the printed manual (wish I had) and the game manual doesn't come printer friendly do ended up printing it 4 pages to a sheet and 8 pages at a time not to choke the printer ..... tough for these old eyes to read ... Asked Erik about a printer friendly version but have gotten nada.....

if you have a tablet then you can put the .pdf on it. That is that I did and it works fantastically.

what does the eastern front look like. There don't seem to be to many divisions left in Russia. Does this have an impact on the russian advance?

The east front must be a thin gray line right now. Maybe I'll meet the Russians in Paris.

Slow going still. Made some progress in the north, but troops were too exhausted to take advantage of the hole.

A look at Italy since I haven't posted anything about that lately. Not too much going on. The Germans are very strong in the mountains northeast of Naples, making attacks there a losing proposition. I've had a little success on the east coast, but really nothing to crow about - gained a few hexes but the end result of that is we're still facing a lot of dug in Germans in mountainous terrain.

btw .... what does the "G" in my units stand for ?
RE: ultradave vs scout1, '43-'45 Campaign June 1944 (Turn 54)
Infantry in the Eastern front (not shown in earlier pic) are almost ALL shown in orange with a "(u)" after them, not allowing me to purge further

That means they're basically all unready. Wow. Panzer morale is trashed too.
What is the date you're at in the game?
Can you see how the Soviets have advanced relative to historical?

we're in early August of 44 .... tell me how to "see" the east front and will post
RE: ultradave vs scout1, '43-'45 Campaign June 1944 (Turn 54)
Holy ***** that's a lot of Germans in France. No wonder I'm not making much progress.
