units taken out of play results, no change tbh

[zakblood]

start of t26 turn positions




they are holding me on the coastal roads and make me push and attack on the spine, so not great attacking terrain, so at while i'm loosing air units faster than land ones for doing so, i am at least pushing them back steadily atm, and my supply is at least catching me up now and holding pace, with rail repair and depots and airfields all much closer, the tide atm has turned and for me, it's a uphill struggle, but one i'm winning, hopefully.

heavy snow falling now, so next to no progress anywhere, it's build, repair and rest

Thanks Zakblood - looking forward to seeing this continue. it's inspired me to try the game again !

[zakblood]

i've spent more time on this game than on anything i own, or have tested in my whole career so far

[zakblood]

away on hols again the 29th to the 5th oct, so will carry it on once i'm back, will have more free time then, need atm to do some alpha and beta work done first, but as this is also included in the beta part, some will be done this week, but not as much as i'd maybe like, too much atm to catch up on, with some games nearer release etc[;)]

air losses on turn 30

[zakblood]

units removed from play so far on turn 30




so far still not losses a unit as of yet, had a few withdrawn, but nothing wiped off the map or captured or lost etc[;)]

[zakblood]

turn 30, end of play, seems a long way to go, and a hard slog getting there, the terrain and units and weather doesn't help, as my losses mount, the gains are in single hexes pushed and held and taken, for larger or growing larger losses, while i'm causing some high losses for the Germans, i can't keep this up for much longer, and still my hedge hopping counted for nothing, as now there's little coastline left to land on behind the lines, but i plan one all the same, well 2 tbh one for each coast east and west

[zakblood]

turn 31, same old, same old, i push them out of a defensive live, they just build a new one, so yes there going backwards, slowly, but at cost to both, and regarding VP's, it's a bloodbath tbh, and more WW1 than 2, land v'rs men v'rs weather means we both loose, but who will win in the end, is anyone guess, and i'd say it depends who has the bigger butchers bill




part break out, but the Germans will reform a new line somewhere, but as the line grows longer, it weakens, so it's only a matter of time now

[zakblood]

t32

[zakblood]

so it's a draw atm, so doing ok, just need to hold it together and not do anything silly, so steady as you go, rail repairs and supplies are ok, some men are rested, so using some then another sector is working, air is good, forward bases are in place, units mostly withdrawn now, so what i have, is what i can use, so another push, and then a break out hopefully, displayed now is at end of turn 32
