1943-1945 Campaign Pelton(Axis) vs Belphegor Axis Victory

[Peltonx]

This is both our first games and will have a large learning curve I am sure.

I will go over my set-ups once I think I know what I am doing.

Ask for whatever info you would like and I will try and post it the following turn.

Air force should be used as a big stick to counter stupid invasions.

Basicly this over Germany.

Set fighters to 25,000 feet and 300%

LW Reich air superiority over ? 5-7 hex area. JG-1, JG-3, JG-2 and NG-1 NG-2
I Jag air superiority over ? 5-7 hex area. JG-25, JG-26, JG-11 and NG-3
3 LW air superiority over ? 5-7 hex area. JG-27 and NG-5
II Jag air superiority over ? 5-7 hex area. JG-51, JG-300, JG-301 and NG-4

The ? marks are citys you have to figure that out.

This leaves fighters for a reserve and some for Italy.

I brake all my naval patrol bombers into the IX Flieger.

All level bombers and long range fighters go into the 2 LW and II Flieger.

These 3 groups are held in reserve or doing naval patrol.

LW Italy does air superiority over ? 5-7 hex area.

All Italian planes I throw into the fight over Sicily.

[Peltonx]

I did get lucky one air to air battle and had 200 planes take on 40 fighters and 168 bombers.

I lost 12 and enemy lost 24 fighters and 53 bombers, most battles are 10-30 fighters vs 100's with the results being generally 2 to 1.

Turn 8

On Sicily 15 PG Division holds off 2 more assaults from XXX and XIII Corps.

In Italy 1st Army prepares for any possible invasions.

[Peltonx]

In the Air WA hit areas on the southern toe of Italy and pound industry around Hamburg.

Mainland Italy is invaded and Italy surrenders. Corsica and Sardina also flip. I have been moving my AA Regiments to hexes that are being bombed the most and the effects are being felt by Bomber Command.
I will have to move the LW in Italy and save it for any future invasions.

Northern Germany saw very heavy bombing runs by WA’s but they were shot down in huge numbers, 328 kills were by air to air combat. Dam good numbers, I have been doing my normal pushing the system to see where the possible weak areas are and it seems to be paying off. Also the AA I moved effected bombing allot, the bombers that did get to their targets did very little damage.
