Roger,

Some suggestions:

1. Mass your UK and CA infantry divs on one coast of Italy or the other. Stack three high and three-wide if possible, but when you attack, don't use all three divs in the Deliberate attack, so you can move forward the one unused div and attack again on the retreated Axis unit.

2. Do three Ground Attack Interdict or Unit attacks, each on a single hex (so hex size would be "0"), to get maximum destruction and disruption. Have some FB's in the Ground Support role. Make sure those airgroups have the optimal loadout (I prefer 1,000lb bombs).

3. Assign the UK and CA armored and tank brigades to infantry divisions the turn before you plan to attack. Then in the turn you attack, and assuming a successful attack, you can "convert" the brigades and advance them one hex into the breach.

4. Keep your armoured divs for a breakout rather than using them as assault units.

Thank you, I shall investigate these ideas. I am still on the Tunisia scenario, not Italy.

I have started looking at the detailed combat reports, they take an age but the detail on them is amazing.

Assign some engineers to your attacking units. They are very useful when attacking fortified positions.

Yes I know the usefulness of combat engineers from WITP:AE. I don't seem to have great number available and I find it very arbitrary when I try to assign them to units for an attack....
