Have you made sure you have synchronised the game speed (time scale) withe the map scale.

Otherwise you end with time flying by with half week turns but the game going at the same pace as the daily turns.

I would be glad to know the answer to that myself. I suppose that's part of the playtest, to see if it's syncronized.
I'm not sure how one can tell whether or not it is in such a state. I'm supposing that you could see what events
happened in history and whether or not something similar happens in the game. Other than that it would be
hard to tell.


I used the 'auto-syncronize' button in the game editor drop down menu, so it should be ok.

the supply level is 1% so he really shouldn't BE attacked either. I'll have to try to move him to safety.

far there's no major resistance and I think maybe we're on schedule. When did Messina fall in WWII anyway?

mode in the middle and I'm pressing for Messina still. The air war is going good. I've downed a lot of Axis planes. Maybe I should
post the losses.

engineers need some help repairing rails? More RR engineers? Auto-fix at the rate of two hexes per turn?

Status: offline 		Here's the Axis losses so far. You can see that even though an aircraft model has some planes on hand there's none assigned. This
is because I destroyed the unit on the map that held that type of equipment. So until the unit reconstititutes there will be no planes
assigned.

from the low level to the high supply level and get them refit then back to the low level and combat.

German counterattacks sometimes force my guys backward.

and they are fueling up, getting refit, preparing for the invasion of the mainland.

Status: offline 		Messina fell finally in T19 and so here in T20 I need to find a good place to invade and it just so happens that 160,230 is where I'm
supposed to get some reinforcements and so that might be a good place to invade. I need to float somebody over adjacent to the
invasion hexes to see if anybody is there and if so get the arty and planes to prep the battlefield a little bit first.

there and in round two I'm going to attack.

the horn of the peninsula.

Well it appears that I'm about a month behind schedule because I didn't get Messina until September. I've dropped some paratroops
on the next place where the expected reinforcements will appear and when they come into the game I'm going to push north w/ them
and try to get us back on schedule.

goes down. I dropped a couple of bridges and that ought to disrupt the Axis some.

I'm thinking that if you are able to run the map before May 1945, then we don't really need to make it any easier, do we ?

So now we know you are not a Patton, lol. And neither am I, as I have yet to get Messina by August 16th.

I may have to leave somebody on Sicily long term just for things like this.

because there's a supply point so far away.
