Defending the Reich - Dixie vs Swift - AXIS Thread

[sven6345789]

will you do it before the invasion starts? actually, you shouldn't know when that is (i no longer do); or do you have enough time to do it afterwards?

[wernerpruckner]

As soon as the Invasion starts in Southern ITaly chaos prevails and you will have no air units south of the Monte Cassino Line.
All units you will keep will come back after a certain time.

[sven6345789]

thanks, so they are not lost forever.
that was my fear

[wernerpruckner]

The Italians will be lost forever, but you get some new Italian units.

[Terminus]

RSI air arm.

[wernerpruckner]

correct
if you can name the units (without looking into the game) you get some more points [:)]

[wernerpruckner]

turn three saw not really good weather, and therefor most of the raids missed their targets.
Several small skirmishes and one big combat in Italy...nearly all losses are Italian pilots.

I start to reorganize the units....I like to keep all Gruppen and Staffeln of one Geschwader at one front.
For the near future that means two Geschwader in Italy, two in France, one on the Balkan, two in the Low Countries, One in Denmark, all the rest in Germany.
This will take around 15 turns......

Well, looking into the game would be difficult, since I don't own it yet.

[wernerpruckner]

Bad turn for my Italians once again!
But also the NF force got hit............I will move some railroad AA to protect the forward NF bases.....

Enjoying the AAR, looking forward to more.

[wernerpruckner]

Dixie continues his attacks on coastal sites, but this time I was able to sneak onto a Hurricane IV raid (18 killed) and 3 Italian units jumped an P-39 unit attacking a radar site - hehehe this unit suffered and will probably have a bad morale now.

BC did not attack this turn, therefor I had time to reorganize my railroad FlaKs.......they will now protect the NF bases in northern Germany, only hazzle....it will take up to 6 days for the railroad FlaK to move to their new sites.......but as soon they are there, Dixie will have to be more careful with his NIs and bomber command (there are often also spotlights at the heavy FlaK sites)

I no start to change the Fw190A-5 production to the A-6 ( one site every other turn)

[wernerpruckner]

Once again no deep raids, but many many coastal ones....Dixie wants to shut down some of my radars....
I only attacked one unescorted bomber raid during the day and I tried to attack two BC raids in the night (with only one kill and also one loss )

here is my top pilot list at the moment - so far it has been a quiet game.

[Richard III]

Very helpful AAR, much appreciated guys ![:)]

[wernerpruckner]

Once again no dangerous daylight raids by Dixie.....but no the less several annoying raids in France and Italy.....he is starting to attack the industry around Paris.....he wants to make some friends with the French.

BC makes a nice raid with full useage of the waypoints to Bremen and surroundings....I get a few of his bombers and his NIs get 4 NFs.....not good...

Here the situation after a raid in Italy:

[wernerpruckner]

turn 8:
nothing new on the front - Dixie continues with attacking coastal and coast near sites......I was able to kill a few heavy bombers this turn....and stil no aces

[wernerpruckner]

turn 9:
silent turn....9 Allied losses and two Axis losses.

Only one FW190A-5 plant left
I will now start the production of the Do217 plants (one after another in each turn) to Me410 --- I will need more of those for 43 and early 44.

[wernerpruckner]

turn 10:

Dixie´s day raids are moving inland [8D] - now we will see if my boys can make something good with the cannon figthers (Me109G6/R6).....

here is the situation before take off....lots of recce and a few enemy raids are up there

[wernerpruckner]

My boys were able to intercept a coastal raid in france (probably from the 2nd TAC), we missed several Typhoon anti radar raids and also some attacks on ports and RRs.......main effort was above the Low Countries versus an 8th AF raid.
This raid was well protected, but we made it through the escort screen and killed a few bombers from a single bomber box.

[wernerpruckner]

BC was very active!
First there was a raid close to the Ruhr vally to draw up my nightfighters......next NIs moved in fast....tons of NIs.....and than BC´s main forces attacked the coastal sites at the North Sea in several waves.

[wernerpruckner]

and here the losses of the day (still no German Aces)

My losses against the 8TH AF raid were low......but I need to be more careful with the cannon fighters.....all 4 were killed by escorts!

Three of my night losses were due to enemy NIs [:(]....but this time my NF pilots were able to kill several of his heavy bombers (3 Halifax and 5 Lancaster were killed by nightfighters!)
