I've been on the "under the weather" list, so don't take my silence as apathy. My opinion still holds. Don't bother invading in France unless you find a lot of resistance in southern France. Just continue to push southwest and take Marseilles and then turn north. This will force a withdrawal from the Atlantic coast ports and if he stands put, put together another invasion behind him in northern France.

There's no need to risk another invasion since your already almost in France. I'd have one cooking in England in case you need it, and it will be ready when you do need it. Just figure out what and where your going to be in another 9 to 10 turns which is how long it takes to launch an invasion from a lvl 6 or higher port with 2 divisions. You can't attack much further east, and all those units are wasted over there, imo. You will also resolve your supply issues taking Toulon and Marseilles.

The manpower crunch was a killer for Germany.

No kiddin! do you know what people throw in that hole?!? [:'(]

Yeah, and most times it's not really wisdom.[;)]

Some discussion of VPs in other threads, here are mine so far with AWG. As of Turn 55.
As far as I can tell I have nearly all of the vweps vaporized, but maybe I need some better recon over the v factories?

I believe a careful recon is defintely needed.

Yupp, you need to keep recon up to see if they are repaired. Lost a bunch of VPs to the same thing in my AI game before realizing it. [:(]

I believe you need to hit the V-weapon sites as well as the V-weapon factories back in Germany to get full points, I only see the V-weapon launchers listed in your screenshot.

Missed that. I'm easily distracted by bright shiny objects....

Crunch my way through one hex of the mountains with no problem. German Manpower has been devastated.
Supplies to the point are getting very very low . . . .

Turn 43 the weather gets bad and the Germans launch a counterattack to remind me that the war is not yet over. . .
Supply situation not improving. Air transport cannot keep up with demand on the point.

Out of curiosity, what is your truck pool? Is it straining to keep up, and it doesn't look like the RR engineers are keeping up. But that's normal considering the terrain you've been in. Your doing great tho, and yes Corsica is still secure!

One suggestion. I'm betting most of those units are high, on fatigue. If he restocked his units, you can expect to be kicked around some if he attacks vigorously. Just be careful.

More logistical difficulties plus bad weather halt the allies in place. German resistance starts to get serious as I approach the border of the Reich.

Meklore, motor pool is in the upper right hand corner of previous screenshot. I keep meaning to try to figure out what the numbers mean but I keep getting distracted.

Turn 45 the airforce gets back into the war.

However my troops do not have the juice to make much progress.
Germans are showing up in droves now as well.

Put some rail depots above and around the PO River to help supply flow from those ports on the West coast. You'll always receive more supply over there than on the East Coast. Milan could use one, and close to the front would help.
