air losses




my pilots losses are more than i would have liked tbh, and maybe i've used them too much and flew them too often, but my men are rested, well partly, some are, so when the break out happens, i'll stand down the air for a few turns to rest some if not most of the air units

unit removed from play at the start of t33

ground losses

[zakblood]

air losses are nil, as none flown, so units removed from play

[zakblood]

t35 VP's




for the 1st time in game so far, i'm just ahead, but only just

[zakblood]

t35 start of play positions



as you can now see, the Germans have pulled the line back, as now they are too weak to defend in depth, so it's break out and advance time, then wait at there next line while my supplies catch up, as the Germans are sitting next to there bases, and mind are miles behind, but slowly get a rail line, up to Rome atm on both coastal roads [;)]

t36 end of play positions




2 pockets to take and one large one which i'd guess will break out

[zakblood]

t37 start of play positions

[zakblood]

t37 end of play positions

[zakblood]

t38, more about positions and withdraws than pure combat atm, but once it's done, i'll do some results and a catch up on where i've got to on this one

[zakblood]

t39 start of turn positions

[zakblood]

losses to date

[zakblood]

air losses as air unit are now back in play after a rest, with the Germans no longer flying tbh

[zakblood]

VP's so far




so if i keep my losses lower, i'll get a win, but by how much depends on what more i can do, unless the AI decides otherwise

[zakblood]

t39 end of turn positions




either the German withdraw, or they will be destroyed, either way, they can't even probe me no longer, just holding on atm it seems, unless they are saving the strength they have for a counter somewhere later

[zakblood]

t40 end of turn positions




again the Germans form a line, something i can't atm break or go past either, so i need to recover some troops from elsewhere mopping up then transfer these to the new front, hoping the Germans don't do the same in the mean time
