Flying at 22k so most of the Flak is out of range.
Those 50kg bombs are badass.

Flak chewed on the raid a little.
120 p47 on AS for this hex

I really wish they would try to engage enemy strikes over water.

Pretty big number.

Germans get an intercept off on the return leg of the run. They must have pretty good water wings, pilots not afraid to play in sea hexes.

Respectable number compared to Luftwaffe day 2's

Not sure if there is Air Superiority up from the German side though

Something sure looks odd to say the least! Especially those P47 on AS appearing over land well outside the boundaries of the AD.

Hopefully Helpless can fix it.

Another good number for the resources invested.
Really weird how the same amount of planes on any day besides day one put up a much lower number.

Well this is .11 and I am not saying anything is broken. All I am trying to do is note some trends that seem to me to be worth taking a look at.
I could be smoking crack and have a setting wrong on my air directives.

So what made day 1 special? Possibly great die roll?


Yes, as it goes from 0. Later it goes in much lower increments. I'm trying to adjust it that it won't be so sharp.

One of the cool things about the weather system is that you can have different levels of mud and snow in different hexes.
I am able to load up on 9thSS from one hex of light mud and push them around. The zbv regiment was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I also made mistake last turn and invaded on the east coast of Italy. The bad weather saves my bacon as I am able to evacuate and get the heck out of the Adriatic hehe.
Some of my air force shown, lots more on sicily and further south in Sardinia.
Long range naval patrol in north Africa.

We can talk about parades if I get to berlin before the Russians do. -300 vps is not something to be cheering about right now

Not Pelton.

I screwed up unlike my other games.

This one I desided to see how far forward I could defend and lost 1 GD, 1 ParaD and 2 regiments.
This does not sound like much, but because of those units I was unable to defend all 4 of the key hexes near Rome only 3 with good CV.
The 1 para division was what I was missing on that flank on the other the GD division would have been part of the assaults, which again does not sound like much but it is huge on this small scale - unlike WitE.
A few lost divisions causes the manpower crunch and the old snowball starts rolling.

Bad moves on my part and good moves on his.

Unlike WitE, WitW the WA's can only take what the GHC gives them.

That very well could have made the difference. There was one attack you made that another PG would have tipped it in your favor I think.

Status: offline 		Germans are starting a large scale withdrawal. But it is doom and gloom for the rest of the front. Almost at -300 vps

Unfortunately I lost my screenshots that I was going to post due to windows deciding to update while I was passed out at the keyboard
The reconstituted 90th PG that I killed on turn 7 is back in my face so I mangle them as a reminder of why they surrendered the first time around.
Crappy weather closing in again however so my air horde is probably going to be useless again next turn.
Luftwaffe is continuing to put up pretty good interdict numbers in the sea off the beaches in the face of most of the allied air force. More transports dead this turn
Also 3 of the 5 beaches received no freight.

Oh and the Luftwaffe was able to open a path to the FJ at civitechia so they were not isolated at the start of my turn.
Maybe I will get the chance to kill them next turn.

Pretty much no point in playing the allies if you can't get freight ashore with the whole allied air force flying in support.
50 Ju88-s can stop you in your tracks hehehe.
