In Husky, looking at the VP, I lost significant VP in downed aircraft. I did go after the beaches and interdiction hard, and there was one turn where I lost something like 170 planes (can't remember exactly but heavy flak losses). My strategy was to hit the beach ports and interdiction hard in an effort to keep your unit CVs down and mount a reasonable ground defense. No counterattacks as my experience has been that for the Germans all that does is deplete the German mechanized units. The Abn drop next to Messina caught me by surprise, but I was still able to put enough defensive CV into Messina to hang on to it (or move back in after being pushed out once I believe). So I lost 358 points in downed aircraft. That swung the VP to your side, although it could also be that using my air force that way and accepting those losses was what allowed me to defend on the ground and keep Messina. Good game. Husky is a challenge from both sides, which is nice.
