The convoys are also quickly sent to the bottom. The Kriegsmarine will not be able to reinforce England, much less keep them in supply. The German fleet flees back to Brest.

Naturally the Italians choose a surface combat

Somewhere during that turn I forgot to mention that Vichy France was collapsed, and of course Yugoslavia was aligned by Germany. Many of the French ships were scuttled in Toulon harbour.
Here are the destroyed units for the May/Jun 1942 turn.

As I mentioned before, I scrap destroyed warships, rather than add them back to the force pools.

Rommel shows when it is useful to convert shatter results into a retreat. Shattered units will reappear as reinforcements next turn. Units forced to retreat that cannot, are destroyed instead.


If the result includes an ‘S’ (shatter) or a ‘B’ (breakthrough), put each
surviving defending land unit on the production circle if it could have
retreated. These units will arrive as reinforcements next turn. Destroy
any units that could not have retreated.

http://www.getpaint.net/

It's excellent for processing photos and other images too.

Status: offline 		Apologies for the long delay. Christmas and New Year and work have intervened massively in my time available both to play and to post screenshots. So I'll try to catch up, I've been playing the game rather than posting, so there's a bit of a backlog, and I may forget stuff that happened, so I'm sorry if some things don't make much sense.

So where were we? The beginning of Jul/Aug 1942.
The last Russian attack was indeed a pretty dumb attack. Fortunately for them the turn ended AND the Allies got the initiative. Naturally, the Soviets headed for the hills
