TURN 10

The enemy broke through my lines before La Spezia but at a very heavy toll, the allies lost about 10 armoured subformations here.

[Vic]

In the center the enemy did not attack frontally very much but went through some gaps in my lines.

[Vic]

In the east the enemy had a real lucky break, he managed to break through on the flanks there and actually surround my troops. Since it is a rain turn I cannot attack or break out!

[Vic]

I will retreat from La Spezia and make sure i keep my
forces intact so i can insure the enemy will not breach
trough the mountains in time for the end of the scenario.

And it’s a rain turn so I cannot encircle the isolated advances the
enemy did in the center. I will try to contain them however.

Also I was not able to retreat my 51st mountain corps spearhead
which is in dire trouble due to the road being occupied and the
rugged landscape. The situation here is very worrisome.

In the east the situation is even worse. Almost all my troops got
surrounded there and I cant move them out due to bad wheater.
I do what I can to form some line on the next river.

It’s a sign of impending doom I fear that I was forced to
send staff subformations from my HQs to plug several holes in the front.
Staff only fights half as well as regular infantry, but the HQs where
overcrowded with burocrats anyway since my army shrunk so much.

Next turn I must do some succesfull counterattacks or lose any intiative.

Here is a screenshot of the front at the end of my turn 10:
