The result is indeed costly! With their strong anti air power, the american fleet will repulse the cleared through bomber which will be forced back on land.

At the start of their 4th impulse, the situation doesn't look good for the Germans. The most unexpected is the surprise advance of the British, and this is the most threatening problem.

Air air combat is no laughing matter against the British! But two bombers out of three manage to get through.

The allies are again on the offensive.

The attack behind the germans succeeds. It almost completes the encirclement of the two German units that have now been reorganized.

Britany is liberated after the capture of Brest. This gives room to the British to maneuver. They will be difficult now to dislodge.

In the south, Bordeau is captured by the Americans.

At the start of their fifth impulse, the German situation is not brilliant. The British look now hard to dislodge, especially as they have the advantage in armor. In the South, the western troops near Bordeau look ready to go North and join the british.

In the East Mediterranean, the italian finds the British with advantage.

The British fleet is badly shaken.

And the Italians dust the damage off...

yvesp -> RE: Global War Solitaire (12/19/2013 7:57:46 PM)

The British want to keep the lane open ; this represents 3 production points, in addition to the supply route for the allied units in Lybia. In the second round, the British find the Italians.

Destroying a Gabbiano is worth it.

But the Italians laugh!

Unfortunately for the British, there is a third round.
An it is not in their favor!

yvesp -> RE: Global War Solitaire (12/19/2013 8:05:21 PM)

The British should consider themselves lucky not to have lost a carrier!
In all honesty, the British only take their due: in afterthought, there was no compelling reason to stay after the first round of combat, except for pride.

And once more, the Italian navy is barely scratched.

For their 5th impulse, the situation looks good for the allies in France.

yvesp -> RE: Global War Solitaire (12/19/2013 8:09:42 PM)

And the allies still have enough organized units to continue the attack.

yvesp -> RE: Global War Solitaire (12/19/2013 8:11:02 PM)

In the South, the Amercians slowly open the way and remove the units sent to slow them down to buy time.

yvesp -> RE: Global War Solitaire (12/19/2013 8:14:53 PM)

And now the British try to do the same kind of attack that the german failed at the start of the turn: If they succeed (success being measured by a result of 'retreat'), they will manage to surround the two most advanced German corps, giving them a big advantage for the next turn. The itch: Manstein has at last rejoined this part of the front and reorganized all units.

The British attack fails, at no cost.

On the sixth impulse, the map become quite confusing!

yvesp -> RE: Global War Solitaire (12/19/2013 8:18:40 PM)

The Germans try a double attack.

The second will be a catastrophe should the first fail.

Idea: repulse the paratroop holding the supply to the two advanced, and now out of supply, british corps. If successful, these units will be unsupplied and the second combat will be at much better odds!

yvesp -> RE: Global War Solitaire (12/19/2013 8:20:20 PM)

And while the German air power has long been depleted, the British still finds bombers to send in defense. But the result is there: the paratrooper is destroyed.

yvesp -> RE: Global War Solitaire (12/19/2013 8:24:10 PM)

Even then, that combat is no cakewalk! Combining the air defense and the armor advantage held by the British, the odds are not as good as expected. Indeed,if the first combat had failed, this combat would have been hell for the Germans!

As they are surrounded, the British choose assault: if they are to go, better not to go alone!

yvesp -> RE: Global War Solitaire (12/19/2013 8:27:51 PM)

At the end of the turn, the losses are severe!

Germany pays a high toll, larger than their production : the first time this happens since the war began. The British are close second, especially if we don't forget all the damage suffered by the fleet. But most of the fleet damage is of little importance: the British have too many cruisers anyway...

As usual, the USA are barely scratched.
