Yes, that's because once your there, you gotta go all in. Just my style of play. If you hadn't tried, you'd never have known if you could, and now you see that we could have, and next time we do better? Maybe?

Am I still allowed to pontificate? Or have I been sacked?

Good attempt at cutting him off - perhaps a 'Ridge too Far' [:D]

Weather clears up a little, my airforce is back in action.
Very hairy situation at the Teramo Gap
My supply line is stretched to the breaking point
Germans being sneaky on the western coast, I think this withdrawal there is an attempt to bait me into charging north.
Maybe will link up 8th and 1st Canadian armies this turn.
Bomb campaign vs Vweps continues, hope to start '44 with max possible destruction

Your for sure getting the best of him.
VP's should start piling up.
You might want to consider stopping offensive operations to the north once you get to the eastern coast. Mop up during the bad weather and stock pile some VP's before good weather returns in summer.
Great operations so far.

At the end of turn 26 I finally have a strong cutoff of the germans to the south.
Still two ports that they can escape from however.
LW making things rough on me, I need to do something about all of these stukas and fw190's based so close to the front.

Victory points so far in game.
Even though it looks like I have a lot of Germans headed to the POW camps Victory points are still very tight.
Major focus on V weps over last 3 turns in the terrible weather net me a 0 vp hit for Vweps; I'll take it.

See Baelfiin? All you had to do was trust your commanders. I'm glad it didn't turn into a "Ridge too Far"! lol I'm I still relieved of command?

I am still blaming you for getting a tank brigade surrounded and forcing me to fly my whole airforce in bad weather to save him 8)

You can't make pie without some eggs being broken! That "paper hanging sumbitch" in Berlin needs to GO! Just write those boys loved one a nice letter, put some replacements in, and ON TO BERLIN!

I will put you in charge of garrisoning Corsica and Sardinia against German paradrops. Might even give you two corps ...
