British in the north steadily push the Germans ahead of them. Sorted out some supply.

Status: offline 		British push toward Calais, US 3rd Army continues to push forward and 1st Army pushes the Germans back against the Swiss border. Second picture is in Italy which has been slow going, but I've never made a second invasion there, just pushing north along the east coast and occasionally hammering the line. Making progress on the east coast of Italy and just made a break in the middle with the New Zealanders.

Well, was going to post a screenshot with current positions in France but it seems to have not made it to my desktop.

In Italy, pushing up the east coast and also a pushing up the coast road near Rome. RR repair is slowly catching up.

The French drive up to the outskirts of Bordeaux and demand surrender :-) while the Big Red One and the 30th infantry division slowly liberate the south of France.

Status: offline 		I'm having a hard time finding your manual rail repair units on the map. Do you have them in France, and if so, have they been expanding the rails east? Once they get east, it's also important to repair redundant rails to the rear ports (especially before Antwerp is active). Don't forget to hook up the rails from Marseille as soon as you can as that will give you another source of freight. Also, just curious, but where are the French forces?

Status: offline 		Was looking at your game for the FOW issue, and I found that the Allied player is not using his rail group units for manual repairs (like the one sitting in St. Malo, they have XXX corps markings). This is like fighting in France with one hand tied behind your back. Are you not aware of how these units work? Although less important than in WitE, they are still very important. Each one can often repair 5-8 hexes per turn and the Allies have 6 of them. From page 119 of the manual:

14.2.7.2. Manual Rail Line Repair
Players may also repair several hexes of rail line per
turn, usually in the same section of rail line hexes,
by manually using rail repair HQ units. Players must
manually move rail repair HQ units and designate
which hexes they will be repairing during a turn. In
order for an rail repair HQ unit to use its special ability
to repair rail hexes, the player must manually move
the unit into a hex that is suitable for repair, and then
select the RRC (Rail Repair Cost) text that will appear
on the rail repair HQ unit in the unit bar if the unit has
enough MPs to perform the repair. Selecting the RRC
will set the damage of the hex to one percent, and this
last point of damage will automatically be repaired
during the player’s next logistics phase. Designating
a hex to be repaired expends movement points. The
number next to the RRC indicates the MP cost to the
rail repair HQ unit to repair the current hex. If the rail
repair HQ unit is not in a location that it can conduct
a rail repair operation, the RRC number will display a
‘-‘ instead.

In the south, the US 1st Army rolls up to the banks of the Rhine. Germans fall back to a new defensive line in Italy. First picture shows the front in France, and the second shows Italy as of Jan 9th, 1945.
