Decided to attack north so that's where I am focusing my ground attack unit directive.
Lots of interdiction set to fly around the whole beachhead, hopefully will hinder movement.

Not sure why they vaporized so quickly, maybe they had no freight in the area to replenish with.
Polish Armor lets me down, they had a chance at glory after the line vaporizes in front of them.

In that shot it is set to ammo, they got pummeld by air then attacked then retreated through interdiction

Man I thought you were going to high five me for advancing two hexes hehe.
I am afraid of Kampfgruppe von Pelton showing up and kicking my a%% when I am all strung out.
I will try to do better next turn if I don't run out of freight 8)

Luftwaffe keeps pressing their attacks, but getting chewed up a little when I get an intercept.

One of the cool things about interdiction is that you can put some into your own hexes so that in the enemy turn and they are advancing you can cause them losses as they trespass into your territory.

Going to try to turn up the heat on the Uboats this turn and see if it helps 8)

The Allies have to manage points after 44 starts between getting in enough bombing points, city points, and not taking huge casualties. That's why I try and take Rome before 44 hits, you get a lot of points for a captured capitol. Once you land in France, your points will become even more difficult as your going to take casualties to get to Berlin. That's why I was encouraging you to take Rome.

i think you only need to bomb the U-boats thru 1943. so I am guessing you won't need to do it for too many turns. but then its the rocket sites that need to be bombed

Air war is heating up bigtime in the Toe.

Luftwaffe is conducting nape of the earth interdiction attacks against me down there that are really creating havoc for my guys

Maybe I can get something done in the north, a big link up with SPOON maybe.

Germans on the coast look awfully weak, I have been pounding them for 3 turns now . . .

Patton breaks out going north only to run into the Panzer Lehr. Linked up with spoon, which is really nice because I need the extra supply badly.

If I don't get a high five or a cookie from meklore this turn I will be sad
Supply so sketchy I am invading another hex to get another temp port supply dump. (when it preps that is)

maybe even more important tho - do you have any strat bombers in range of Romania yet? you really need some ABs on Italy that can base your big bombers

I hope I can do a little more next turn on the south side of Rome but will see. Not enough stuff to push everywhere, im really regretting the 4 armored divisions mired on the Toe.

No good airbases in range of Ploesti yet, but when I do get some ..... 8)

First thing I do in my little turn checklist is look at the weather. Before I even study detail of what happened last turn!:)

Status: offline 		OK, I'm new to this game, but that looks very perilous for the Germans, doesn't it? I don't see a ton of units between the Allies and Tuscany, and there are large formations still in the TOE. There is a single rail line down the East Coast of Italy supporting an entire Army Group.

Tough spot, as the Germans you hate to be pulling all the way back to the Gothic Line right now, but the alternative is fighting it out in the open terrain of Tuscany......

Just a hint. If you drop a crap ton of bombs in a small area at the choke point on the Eastern Coast line, you'll starve anyone south of that. Someone mentioned it was probably supplying an army down there and that's his biggest weak spot. Just keep doing small attacks to force him to use supply, and destroy the ports behind him. Don't do big area bombings, just set 15th AF to strike Taranto on day 1 and 2, Brindisi on day 3 and 4, and so on and so forth. You get a lot more accomplished when you do strategic bombing at 0 area. You could have those ports gone from Rome and below in a month.

I know, I couldn't just congratulate you, I had to put my two cents in again lol. Carrot n Stick.

But not unlocking them would be kind of gamey wouldn't it?
