Although that leading armored division I had completely surrounded and cutoff (because I retreated the second stack in the line first) and he managed to rout all the way to the Cherbourg outskirts. He should have been driven into the sea since he was surrounded by mech and para units. One aggravating feature of this game :-)

Forgot to get pictures.

It's late August now, and the Allies are still fairly well contained. Their airpower has been a little more effective lately, but the Luftwaffe has done a decent job of keeping the area south of Normandy clear for moving up reinforcements.

This should get more interesting now that Scott has some room to bring in more reinforcements. Here's the latest situation in Normandy:

Status: offline 		It's early September in Normandy. The Americans have mostly secured the Cotentin peninsula, but German units were able to fall back in reasonably good order. The front is more of a straight line across the base of the peninsula now, which makes my defense a little bit easier. The following pictures show the front lines, and also the interdiction levels (without units shown)

A quiet turn. Things have stalemated a bit in Normandy, and they've stayed stalemated in Italy. Germany did a lot of moving around and reorganizing corp HQ and subordinates to even out command loads. Other than that, the air forces flew. VP right now are at -379.

Interdiction values in Normandy, and victory screen attached.

Also, I figured out how to get the images scaled properly. I think it has something to do with the Retina display on the mac having 4 possible pixels for each pixel. That sounds odd but that's sort of how it works.

I didn't make any screenshots this time. Lost quite a few bombers to flak, but shot down a fair number of Allied fighters in return. Nothing at all has changed on the front lines.

It's now Nov 21st, 1944 and the Allies are still bottled up at the base of the Contentin peninsula. In Italy the front line is as it was at the start. Planes are flying overhead, but both sides are dug in and pretty much immovable. Victory point total currently at -600

The Allies try a flanking invasion in Italy north of Rome, near Citivechio. It is promptly thrown back into the sea. Over Normandy it is quiet as the weather is atrocious so no one is flying. (Well, a few brave souls did).

The war drags on. Snow in the north, rain in Italy. Very little happening on the ground as both sides dig in and try to stay warm and dry. The Allies still have not been able to break out from Cotentin. In Italy an invasion on the west coast just north of Rome was defeated.

First picture is the hex possession with units removed. Stalin is on the move but still only near Warsaw.

Status: offline 		comparing this to your last tussle, it beyond any doubt hammers in the message that the only real force multiplier for the allies is their air power ... and you can't leave that to the AI (at least in PBEM).

His failure to generate a deadly level of interdiction over Normandy early on really allowed you to re-act with no constraints?
