Operation Market Garden

[-0blivion-]

Sorry Dell - nothing really happened on the report two turns ago so i didn't bother.
Here is the last turn's report.
Bombarded a road leading to Marseilles and Montpellier so those Italian tanks will be delayed. Bombardment failed in Tubruk again. In France, i bombed the crap out of Vichy.

 

[Dell19]

But it seems that you did destroy something a couple of turns ago...

 

[LostKnight]

Nothing important. I bo,bed germany, killed one infantry in PLoesti but thas all.


Oh yeah, I build a Theater in Moscow...Sheskpearus I think...

 

[BkGreatWarnut]

Attacks along the Ploetsi-Galatz front resulted in the defeat of a few Soviet forces (1 tank & 1 Inf) and the capture of 7 Arty pieces.

Bombardment of French Resistance forces, which I am going to do my best to destroy in the next 3-5 turns.

Defeated English 1 or 2 Eng Inf in N. France.

2nd Army was commissioned and is planned to consist of 1 panzer and 2 modern armor.

GPS to Dell...

Here are some ideas for a change to the scenario:
Make France AI
Make Dutch human and give them the Resistance cities. Also, the Dutch would get the Greek cities, Crete and the northern Norwegian city. I was also thinking of Giving the Syrian/Lebanese holdings to the Dutch...

 

[Dell19]

Not really sure what the benefit of changing the Dutch and French around since the problem of the human player being too good at controlling france would probably apply to the dutch since they are in similar positions.

Btw I haven't received the save yet.

[rcoutme]

The French fought back...Ok they pretended to fight back...ok, they got their butts whipped...but in enemy territory! We attacked Tripoli. We came, we saw, we ran away after taking heavy damage.

 

[Dell19]

Does that mean you didn't bother attacking at all?

 

[rcoutme]

No...it means that our tank attacked...got it's butt kicked, and retreated.

 

[LostKnight]

The Italians are happy to see that their allies have recaptured Galatz

Nope, if it was the one by Crete.

The Battle for Tripoli
After a massive combined English and French naval bombardment, the valiant, though depleted, French Army stormed the Italian stronghold of Tripoli.

The few tanks that the French had left from the abortive recon-in-force attack last month were destroyed. The French infantry then showed their superiorty over their Italian counterparts in every department!

Final tally: France 1 tank unit destroyed, Italy 3 Riflemen 1 tank

I also destroyed the Temple in Cagliari
