Turn 6
WA take large loses for putting 2 TF’s at the Messina crossings this turn.

All the LW in the Med is hitting the TF’s as hard as possible.

Very heavy loses over Germany for 8th AF.

Turn 8
Troop ships lost this turn 29 total 73
Cargo ships lost this turn 38 total 186

Not sure why he has put 2 TF for me to slaughter, but its good trainers for LW and will really hurt future invasions.

Turn 12 VP: 23
Troop ships lost this turn 9 total 143
Cargo ships lost this turn 23 total 308

Messina holds.

LW is ready for any invasions North of the Gustov line, all ports are garrisoned along the French and Italian coast lines with a Panzer Corp in reserve out fitted with SU's and good leadership.

I also have all the garrisons set-up with all with drawing units in Southern Italy.

WA's finally pull back both TF's or whats left of the logistics fleet.

Over Germany WA's bomb the Ruhr at night and other parts of Germany.

He is trying to keep your German forces on Sicily? Not really worth the risk if you ask me but ok.. He's probably better of building up his air on Sicily and try to land behind you...

Yes I think so, but both are getting with drawn so like magic they go to Germany anyways by turn 27.

I have Gustov line built with panzer reserves and the LW waiting just north of Rome.

Ref his bomber losses:
By the end of August he could have easily set up 100+ long range escorts (Lightings) for bombing raids targeting the Hamburg area. Must have been a great sight, 200 US Bombers jumped by almost the same number of interceptors !

I am getting 300+ intercepters at night but next to nothing for kills.

Same here; with older versions used to have a more effective Nachtjagd.

I think night interception needs to be checked as losses do seem to be very low against bombers.. My allied night fighters are getting chewed up by the Luftwaffe though...

Yep all there seems to be is damages and disruptions, although the bombers themselves don't seem to be as effective as they were.

Normal results.

yeah I see the same stuff. I watched the air phase a couple times, and the combats we all damage or disruptions. Sometimes it seemed like the NF were getting the worst of it.
