And this....

Another....

And finally.....

To find out how it was done, see Scenario Design - Game Editor /RE: WITM Mod- Released

I imagine it's not what you were looking for, but it seems to me that Italian ship crews should have significantly less Night experience than Day experience. IIRC the British optics were superior, and of course British radar was at that time the best in the world.

Pauk got his licks today as Vittorio took is hard up the jacksy with 2 fish.
 
Tobruk is still hanging on and every day brings more troops and a better defence.........

Englander may say whatever he wants, but Vittorio ended with 21 sys damage.... and that is not all...

A legend says that Turkish ruler Selim III was alcoholic and he enjoyed so much in Cyprus wines so he ordered that Cyprus must be conquered...well, the history repeats once again...

You may ask yourselves why i'm saying that..... well, our beloved Duce likes wine from Cyprus too[:D]

Pah!
 
You may invade Cyprus but to what end. It is so near to Egypt that you will be smashed to smithereens......you will see........

Hmmmm... Wonder if Fremen would consider putting in the Turks, joining on the Axis side? It's a non-AI mod anyway, so that shouldn't stop him...

Hmmmm not sure about that. If so then the Spanish should be Axis also ....wouldn't want that since Gib would be buggered dear chap

P.S. Pauk is one 'cheating' Fanboi[:'(]
 
He knows in this version the 5th Ind. Division is not garrisoning Cyprus as it should be = exploitation[:'(]

This was consider and refused. I don't have any information about turkish OOB in WWII.
Spanish is more likely, however, im not sure which side would be fight.

I think that given no Allied aggression, Spain would be most likely to join the Axis.

Hmm. Maybe so with Spain but I don't thnik it would nbe right just to have everyone join the Axis just because it's a non-AI mod.
 
If that's the case let's get more South American and African countries inthe fold on the Allied side[;)]

You're just afraid of getting your butt kicked...[:'(]
