End of Turn Check. Turn continues.

ahh now the forgotten forces in Italy paid the price for the Americans not having the British radio frequency, or whatever it was. send in a single Major Power and the Allies lose one less unit. every pip on the dice counts in the long run.


I never play with the Railway Movement optional and can never remember that it can allow tanks do a breakthrough move from a woods hex, as the Russians just did. von Bock should just rail out of there before the swarm surrounds him, too - and German Engineers are far more valuable making mini Stalingrads in a factory hex than they are as just an extra infantry division on any other front line. If the SS Engineer had been parked in Paris it might have held up Monty and Ike considerably. Same at Warsaw. But ultimately it is every desperate Fueher's #1 choice to babysit the Bunker, even better than parking Dora and Gustav in there.


I would have tried to cross the Seine via a single hex, mass armor / whatever is left in the kitchen sink (that NAV, a Cruiser?) attack on the 2 units flipped at the mouth of the river, even before I knew the Allies still had lift remaining for their PARAs. With the PARAs I think it would have been about a +15 - 4 or higher and the Allies are across.

I am confused about the attack on the Rumanian CAV in the mountains. The CAV has a printed strength of 2, and was not flipped, and was in mountains, so it should have been doubled to a strength of 4. However, your combat display showed a strength of 3. I can not figure out how to get a strength of three for that unit.

I am confused as well. What post are you referring to? I looked at what I thought was the cavalry attack you referred to, but it looked to me like the defender was counted as 4 in strength.

So, will the collaborationist government in Vichy fall because Paris is liberated, or because the Allied armies take Vichy? Which will come first? Stay tuned to find out.

Post 2798. It's a typo on my part. The (35:3) should have read (35:4). Keyboard entry error.

Thanks, nice catch by the way.

It's going to be close, but if this turn runs long then my bet is that Paris will be liberate first.

I'm impressed by the eye to detail that all of you display when reading what I or others post. [&o]

P.S. But I'd dare say that the type of person, in general, who plays (M)WiF has an eye to detail. Otherwise they'd be playing Risk. [:D]
