and that's where i'll end it, as you generally get the picture now, beach landing, make a bridgehead, extend it, supply in, bring in more troops and move out, while providing air cover for land sea and dominating the air, job done

apart from repair the road and rails, rest and rotate the planes, men and repair upgrade the equipment / refit etc.

oh, and finally enjoy yourself while learning and playing[;)]

if i carry it on, it may spoil it for some of you also, as now i kick in the door and clear them out of both France and Italy before the timer ends, forget about VP in this one, as you need a better understanding of the VP system to really understand a good win to a great win etc

it's not a good game, it's a great game

t25 positions in France

t25 positions in France and Italy

t30 positions in France

t30 positions in France and Italy


so i leave it here, with 35 turns to go, and i need to push on to Berlin?

can i do it?

and i've been too cautious?

is there enough time and did i repair enough rail to bring in and horde enough supplies for now is the time to break out and push on into German?

as you can see from t25 on wards, the time element is way off, i've not managed to keep on track time wise and be where i should have been for a given time, and will pay for it, not paying attention to details like VP's is a game end'er tbh, while you can win on amount of land grabbed and less unit losses, you will loose on the time element of not being far enough by a given date, in other words, not historic lines and distances etc.

this comes with practice and lots of it[;)]

but with 35 turns left, is there time?

well that's your jobs commander if you take up the call and be commander in chief and go head to head with the AX and fight the good cause against the axis side[:'(]

Is the beta patch version number top secret ? [:D]

yes[;)]

i'm testing the beta patch and also doing the AAR, so killing 2 birds with one stone approach, novel i know[;)]

t30 positions in France and Italy

so now in 35 turns, i need to clear out the remaining pockets in France, wipe out the surviving axis units in northern Italy and move into German and surround Berlin, supplies are in place, Air Force has moved on mass to France, distance is doable for me, and terrain and manpower is on my side now, as German are weakened on the Belgian border and if i push now, i'm sure they will fall back and retreat all the way into Germany for sure, then i'll link up the eastern front with my northern push up from Italy and make a pincer attack onto Germany, but that's for another day, for now the AAR and test of this beta i'm on is done for now as i'm onto another[;)]

thanks for watching and hope it makes you want to start your own push

the German front stays to fall apart on t34 to t36, with t37 being the one which i really caught up with the retreating units and taught them how wrong it is to be on the wrong side, for the next 3 turns i had them on the back foot and now it's no longer a line, just pockets of Germans trying to get back home
