Final picture shows what happened over whole turn. One hex was won by Germany but not occupied. Fine by Allies, as I moved units in to occupy vacant hex. It is in green. I believe this time Germany will have a difficult time taking it back and it will cost much in troops and equipment. Three hexes were taken in combat and are circled in red. Final hex is in blue. That means another invasion. Metalist likes it when the Allies invade! Ha.

Germany did five attacks on two hexes this turn. Four in one hex and one in another. Metalist sent me a copy of them to make sure Allies had them and I thank him for that. However, sending news reals of Axis tanks rolling over Allied ground entrenchments was a bit much. Ha. But seriously, thank you. Metalist informed me that in a previous turn I had switched one of the Axis hexes that was attacked so I will try to get it right this time. I am also real happy the BLM is working well on the Axis phase. I hope it will continue on Allied ground phase.

First hex to show is the one attacked four times. It was finally taken, which makes the American infantry division isolated since it lost the invasion port. The location is southern French invasion area.
