Status: offline 		Here's the new start of this scenario again. Notice that I didn't say yet again. I like this scenario. It's fun. And the map is beautiful.
Anyway, here's the starting positions of everybody. I looked around for targets for the bombers but there are precious few of them.
I'll have to move the units into contact to get some targets to pound. Meanwhile the fighters can do some sweeps of the various
fighter bases on the island and the mainland.

I'm going to try to get the various beach toe holds connected so all the beaches will have some supply.

There's four bases on Sardinia and I'm thinking I'll need to do airfield attacks w/ my fighters by doing the dog-pile-on-the-rabbit ploy.
This is where I schedule some regular bombing missions somewhere on the map and then have lots of AS within range to ambush the
enemy fighters when they try to interfere w/ my bombing mission(s). And then after several rounds of that then I can put about three
squadrons of fighters on each of the enemy bases to do sweeps.

beachead. I've found and blocked some German units and I've got recon out looking for more. The rush north has already started.

Not too many Germans yet. They usually show up in turns 2 and 3 or so.

could fly was there, Axis and Allied. Look how many are in reorg now. D'oh. I'll have to take it easy on them for a turn or two.

things like that. This may take a turn or two to recover my lines. And they may need some more boots on the ground.

down the enemy units some before I start the pushing.

me again. And there's no reserve now. I'm sending the 51st British Division to the West side to act as a reserve.

Status: offline 		OK. This is just after the German T3 and so is the beginning of Allied turn 4 ( T4 ). The Germans attacked on the West side again
and broke through again. The 51st British Division isn't there yet so the Americans might just have to hang on for at least one more
turn. I'm thinking I don't want to just spread the British elements out interspersed among the American units, I want the British to take
the edge closest to the water and the Americans can take over just north of the British. Something like that.

German stuff and I'm pretty sure it's going to fight it's way out of the noose. So it's not really cornered yet.

finally in a position to help out. Meanwhile on the East side, the British have dispatched that German stack and can now start the
advance toward the north. The isolated paratroopers have lost lots of men and equipment and they need to be rescued very badly.

a LOC and perhaps some small modicum of supply and I've covered him under the umbrella of some arty so I'm hoping we can save
them yet. I've sent some armoured engineers out to the north in indian country and he moved east and found some German armoured
engineers. Now that I've found him I can pound him by air.

pretty well but the West side is being forced backward slowly. It's absolutely embareasing.

lines might just hold better. We'll see.

Fun scenario!

Are you using the version 2.0 of this scenario? Not that it makes much difference. I need to capture Messina by turn 16 in order to
do as well as you are doing then. Wish me luck.

I can't imagine why they are different.

I agree that the Luftwaffe is positively a burden. And they shoot well too. So um....where is Salenaro?

Yeah, it is. I especially like the tactical "feel" you get from this scenario. And the low unit count for each side. There are a lot of
turns but they go quickly.

If it makes you feel any better I did the same thing and had to look around for the newest version too. I went to Steve's personal site to
get it. Telumar's link works just fine. You can always find the latest versions there.

EDIT: I'll play slower so you can catch up to me.

Status: offline 		I used a worn out recon unit to cut the LOC's of the westernmost group of Germans. So theoretically the Germans should be getting
weaker now and I can eventually overcome them w/ pounding by the air and arty strikes. I's going to take a couple of turns to work
right but it should be doable. That's the theory.

that isn't visible yet at Messina. It's not like the Germans to leave it unsecured.

I'm working on it. That cutting them off from their supply really helped.
