Hi guys, sorry for the long delay. My update of another game consumed a lot more of my time than I thought it would when I started.

I've made notes of issues that have been raised in my absence and have begun working on them to see what I can do.

Thanks Frank, sounds great! It will be good to resolve most of these issues now before moving on to another game using the same system.

Thanks Frank!

Would it be possible to change the Allied AI behavior? It currently prefers to use large stacks, this makes the frontline only 5 or so hexes long as opposed from coast to coast. As a result the Axis player can focus his efforts in one central area. Will we see the addition of the Italians as well? At this scale they should fit right in. I appreciate you addressing other issues we've brought up and apologize about the Para reinforcement thing [&o]

The Para reinforcement thing was my fault, I didn't adequately explain it.

Although the Allied AI should concentrate in places they want to attack they should still maintain a contiguous front. The exception is in the early going in southern Italy where there isn't usually much of a front, its just forces advancing along available roads. I'd like to take a look if you're seeing otherwise.

As for adding Italian forces to the Allies, I assume you mean the combat groups of the Co-Belligerent army?

Contiguous front: I haven't seen one yet. I think the problem is once they get ashore they push themselves far to hard and sustain too many losses, maybe lowering the casualties might help.

Italians: Them and the ones Mussolini put together later in the campaign. They fielded a like 4 or 5 divisions I believe.

Here's at look at the end of my game, it looks like the Allies are starting to fan out.

And here's the VP Screen, even if the game kept going I don't see either of us having much gas left in the tank.
