Last time we played on just - off the points from bug.

Could be a long time until they get it fixed or days.

I like for them to atleast pull the save to see why warning is not coming up

[KWG]

thats what I was thinking , proof of bug is there, just deduct points. We can give them time to see and do a fix.

[KWG]

Will do a post i had planned.


AP News- Allied Forces HQ announced this week the death of British XIII Corps Commander General John T. Crocker. A German anti-tank mine claimed the life of General Crocker and 3 others of his staff, wounding 4 others. His death comes on the heels of XIII Corps' recent capture of the Italian town of Caserta.

The news was released in Sicily at a meeting of top Allied Commanders. Eisenhower was asked about reports coming from Spain that German newsreels were claiming that Axis forces in Italy, despite Allied Bombing of the rails and ports, were receiving supplies by air transport. Eisenhower responded that Goering must be using Wonder Woman's plane, because there were no reports of Axis supplying by air. He then added that reports show the Axis are low on ammo. "Never less, resistance is strong" he emphasized.

Patton was asked about conditions in the Anzio beachhead. Patton quipped "It has all the comforts of home, if your home is a damp cave." "But dont worry boys", Patton beamed, "I've got a good hold on the Germans and they're not going anywhere." Clark quickly added that every German in Italy was 1 less in Russia or France and that several of the enemies' best divisions had been identified. Clark added that the troops at Anzio were calling the place "Von Pelton's Boot Camp" in reference to the experience Allied forces were receiving from the German Field Marshal.

As the commanders were leaving the news conference someone yelled "General Patton have you slapped anyone lately?" Patton fired back "Just the Cook!." Unnamed sources claim that one of the mountains in the Gustav Line was recently captured.

Nice

[KWG]

Clear skys over Germany are filled with the planes of a growing 8th Air Force. Planes are no longer painted green, but are left metallic silver- beacons of light for all to see. Bombing of the German War Machine increases.

[KWG]

RAF Bomber Command strikes deep into Germany. Hitting a Vengeance Weapons production site.

After a winter of hell in the skys of northern Germany 8th Air force bombers now fly with fighter protection.
The arrival of the P51 Mustang will provide escorted daylight bombing to every corner of Germany.
Luftwaffe hunters are now the hunted.

[Peltonx]

WA’s take a hex and drop a para brigade behind enemy lines ,which is rounded up and sent off to a POW camp. Not very good weather for para drops. The Gustov Line is reinforced.
In Germany WA’s do night bombing during snow.

[Peltonx]

The lines hold vs 9 attacks. As new divisions come on line northern Italy and France are being reinforced.

[KWG]

The Times- Bob Hope entertained the men of the Mighty 8th Army Air Force this weekend. Mr. Hope revealed the Germans response to the Allied bombing of the Reich's fuel and industrial complex.

[KWG]

"Standard invasion of Sicily, then Sardinia then Italy.

Yes he is bombing railnet ect, but it has little effect as depots are in place by turn 3.

His bombing of Germany is standard Ruhr and Subs and railnet. I am handling LW basicly same way as before with a few tweaks.

KWG seems to have a good handle on the WA air game, invasion mechanics ect.

Solid player.

I am using basic strategy I have always used "


Thankyou for the compliment.



"Anzio landing I simply don't bother pushing back into sea as it is hard for me because of hills, but north of that I can quickly wall of to the beachhead with strong SS divisions. "

I did a little dance when I read that, as it was what was planned.

WAs invaded Italy!!

The WA waited until November (turn 20) to invade mainland?

What do the naval interdiction numbers look like off the beaches? Are you contesting it at all?
Allies having to go a long way in the rain is a nice equalizer for the Luftwaffe.

Axis abandon Sardinia and Corsica per your usual?

The logistics chain was in place before invasions, so as long as lines are static supplies will not be an issue

Have the WA gone after your Italian rail network (railyards, not rail interdiction)? Fill us in a little on what happened the first 20 weeks of the war. I presume both sides weren't just twiddling thumbs...

Some of the delay was due to mouse error, some due to design. Hit the beaches in Oct. with large invasion south of Rome. One week later smaller invasion at Salerno. Very bad weather over North Italy and bad weather over Salerno. Allied Air Force was on the defense so this seemed a good idea.
Ive been hitting the RRyards every chance. Been bombing them in NW europe since fall '43.
Strategic targets and help to balance allied ground loses.

Its been Hell's angels over Hamburg region in the winter of 43-44. Biggest losses Ive seen, for both sides.

No Attacks

[Peltonx]

90th PD holds 5 times vs XIII Corp. Unit manpower has dropped from 25k to 20k.
At the Anzio BH 3rd PD holds vs 3 attacks and the FZ is dropped to 0 so I will move in another division to hold hex and change out SU’s.
Over Germany the RAF is bombing only at night and 8th AF bombs the Ruhr during the day. Both hit the V sites. The skys over Germany during the day are safe for now.

I am rotating out SU’s as they are not subject to interdiction, they play a much bigger roll then they did in WitE.
Rotating out 3 SU’s can make a difference of 5 CV. I move 10SS PD to 90th hex and fill it up with 3 fresh SU’s.
SU use is very very important to keeping front line CV strong.

[KWG]

Day bombing targets Panzer production.
Night bombing takes the war to the capital of the Third Reich.

[Peltonx]

90th PD was attacked 4 more times this turn and they held vs all. I will rotate out the SU’s and leave the 157th MT regiment in the hex. The total manpower # is over 30,000, last turn it was under 20k. 15th AF is still heavly bombing the rail yards and ports to no avail as German front line supplies and CV increase with each passing turn. Recon has identified 7 Tank divisions in Italy.

[KWG]

To make it official and on the books:

Victory Points = VPs showing - 36. (36 if 0; 37 if -1)

Correct?
