mgp104 -> RE: How long does Overlord av Avalanche keep going? (12/28/2010 5:16:42 PM)

I've 'played ahead' in my game (ie. hitting end turn endlessly without sending any raids) until mid September '44 and found that Overlord ends on 1st September 1944 (by which time the Germans have retreated to the West Wall line. At this point 2nd Tactical and IXth have no mandatory targets.
I'm not sure about Bomber Command and 8th, in my game (where I have caused major damage in the Overlord area; about 44%) I find that on some days Bomber Command or 8th have no target restrictions, some days neither and some days both are restricted to Overlord. I suspect that it is based on overall Overlord damage although I'm not convinced, it could be damage to ground units or units in the Normandy front only.
With regards Avalanche I have not seen this end (and I assume that the Gothic line will not break until 1945), I think that Med Command and 12th are tactical airforces whose sole purpose is ground support. They will therefore only be able to attack Avalanche targets until 'Avalanche' is over (which, if you take Avalanche to mean invasion and total conquest of Italy historically took until almost the end of the war).
