WAW 1939-1945 PO Version 62221 Allied Human vs Axis Bot

T170 11 28 42 Here is the invasion of New Britain. The easy invasions are nearly over. The Japanese air power will be striking back the further the Allies advance.

T175 1/2/43 This view shows Leningrad cut off. It also shows the PC hex in Sicily was taken. That will trigger a surrender of Italy in several mover turns.

[thomasharvey]

T179 2/30/43 This view shows Malaya battles from north to south. The Allies are in red.

T179 2/30/43 This view shows the status of the South Pacific battle area. Most of the islands are taken by the Allies.

T180 2/6/43 This view shows Industry 6 destroyed. This reduces Axis replacements by 2%. Over the course of the scenario the Axis receives boosts to the replacement rate. If no Industry air units are destroyed the Axis replacements go up over time. If the Industry air units are destroyed timely, it will match the increases. At that point there would be no change to the overall replacement rate which is based on the historical production numbers. If the Axis does not provide defensive air cover over their Industry air units their replacements will go down and end up less than the historical levels. Japan has 10 Industry air units and Germany has 12.

T184 3/6/43 The Italians surrendered and the invasion of Italy has begun. This view shows the recent news and the first invasion locations. What is not shown is the series of Luftwaffe strikes my troops had to endure. Fortunately the Bot did not have its anti ship aircraft within range or my losses might have made me skip Taranto.

[thomasharvey]

T184 10/6/43 Here is a view of the strategic bombing effects. The German war industry shows 3 out of 12 industrial air units destroyed. That reduces replacements by 6%. However, the increases in production are keeping ahead of the bombing results. Once the 8th Air Force gets going in 44 the targets will all be eliminated. The RAF Lancasters are equipped for bad weather bombing so that helps the RAF.

T184 March 6, 1943 Here is a large view of the Eastern Front. I think the Axis Bot should consider a retreat. When the Allied advances get far enough the Bot will fall back and defend the Reich.

[thomasharvey]

T184 3/6/43 Here is a view of the most active area in the Pacific. The US Pacific fleet is noted. Tarawa may be invaded before going to the Marianas. The Axis Bot will lash out at some point but I never know for sure when or where.

[thomasharvey]

T189 4/10/43 Here is a view of the the invasion of Italy. The Axis Bot is sending in troops to stop the invasion.

[thomasharvey]

T189 4/10/43 While the invasion of Italy is going forward well the real cost is to the Royal Navy. The Royal Navy has lost 6 BBs 1 BC and 2 CVE along with some escort ships. Other ships have been damaged. I have pulled the ships out to avoid other losses to the Luftwaffe. The Allied navies must still the invasion of France. Moving into Germany from Italy is very difficult. The Allies do still have Athens but that is a long way to anything. The allied troops are limited right now.

[thomasharvey]

T189 4/10/42 Here is a view of one small action by the Luftwaffe.

[thomasharvey]

T189 4/10/43 Here is a view of Crete guarding the approach to Athens. Any ships going in range will most likely be hit by the Luftwaffe.

[thomasharvey]

T193 5/8/43 The Allies moved into central Italy triggering Track 5 which is the Axis retreat into the final defense of the Reich. This view shows the retreat already in progress out of Russia.

[thomasharvey]

T196 5/29/43 Here is a view of the Allies breaking the Gustav line. The Axis will form a strong line north of the Po river and a very strong line in the Brenner pass.

[thomasharvey]

T199 6/19/43 Here is a view of the Moscow front showing Axis forces that could not pull back to defend the Reich.

[thomasharvey]

T205 7/31/43 Here is a view of Italy showing the Allies pushing the Axis towards the Brenner pass.

[thomasharvey]

T208 8/21/43 Here is the current eastern front. The Axis has left Russia and will now defend Vistula, the Oder and Berin.

[thomasharvey]

T209 8/28/43 Here is a view of Festung Germany.

[thomasharvey]

T212 9/18/43 Here is a view of the first invasion of France. The Axis have pulled back into Germany.
