During the D-Day: Basil H. Liddle Hart reports some interesting deposition of German generals about the terrible effects of naval shores on the German defenders during the D-Day. But, on the other hand, we can say it was like an isolated case.

House rule #2? What's?

Any pic of Russian front in human vs. AI game?

Hi all. I'm looking for PBEM opponents. I'm not a very skilled player, I must admit, but I consider myserlf as a medium range one. If you want to play a game send me a message! guglielmo.duccoli@fastwebnet.it

Maybe Intel allow you to see enemy productione queue or to destroy a queued stuff too.

I suppose the great power of amphibs can be simply corrected by a more expansive setting. What do you think about?

Messe was one of Italian finest generals. He was the leader of Armir (Italian army in Russia), the he leaded Italian-German troups in Tunisia giving some problems to the US.

I suppose the last two slots are for AI bonus experience.

I'll do it! Tx for your suggestion, Wodin.

Benelux sounds odd for it's a post-wwii name. I suggest to use "Low Countries".

Maybe you are right, Edwin. Italian air force had a lot of very interesting and innovative projects (as the jet fighter Caproni CC-2: 1940!) and prototypes but it had lack of number force and cohordination (above all with the Navy). Balbo (not a general, but a man of the Fascist party and governor of Lybia) tried to have a power air force, but generals didn't help him in his efforts about. Generally, Italians had some good plane and excellent pilots (Galland said he was one of the gretest pilot in the war), but few planes and insufficiently armed a/c. to HUBERT CATER: sorry: I forgot one of the most smart italian general in WWII: Cavallero. So, I suggest the names of : Cavallero, Messe and Graziani

I played the demo a lot and I appreciated it very much. I applaud your historical accuracy too. As Italian, I need to submit you some improvements about Italian troop names. GENERALS: Balbo was not a real military commander, but a politician, minister for the air force and governator of Lybia. Guzzoni was not a very important general. I strongly suggest to use: Messe (commander of Armir in Russia and of italian-germainian troups in Tunisia), Gariboldi and Graziani (Maresciallo d'Italia, the most popular italian general). SUB: "Bianchi", "Cappellini", "Barbarigo", "Giuliani", "Torelli": these some of the most proud and important italian subs that did operate in Mediterranean and Atlantic area. ARMY: for the new armies, I suggest "Julia" (the alpine division in Russia), "Cuneense" and "Trieste". CORPS: I like your choice of "Alpini", then I suggest "Bersaglieri" and "Giovani Fascisti". PARATROOPER: I strongly suggest "Folgore", the best italian army, very well trained but never used for landing. "Folgore" fighted with great honour at El-Alamein.

Thanks for your comment and for your job, Madmatt. I'm Italian, so I feel a little odd to hear the "Inno di Mameli" (popular name of the "Il canto degli Italiani") inside of the "Marcia reale" (popular name of the "Marcia reale d'ordinanza"). You are right: "Giovinezza" was the anthem of the PNF ("National Fascist Party"), so it's not the right choice for the game. There are a lot of sites with mp3 or wav of the "Marcia reale". The beginning beats of the music are very typical and, I think, very suitable for the game.

I just played the demo and, well, it's really a superb work. Grats! I only need to inform on a small historical inaccuracy about the Italian national anthem when you click on Rome. It's the post-WWII anthem of the Italian Republic. But, untile 1946, the Italian national anthem was the "Marcia Reale" (Royal March). You can find a mp3 here: http://www.radiomarconi.com/marconi/marcia/index.html Great job, boys!
