  1. You are correct about the four books for the Mediterranean Theater of Operations (Green Books). The titles are NORTHWEST AFRICA: SEIZING THE INITIATIVE IN THE WEST SICILY AND THE SURRENDER OF ITALY SALERNO TO CASSINO CASSINO TO THE ALPS
  2. You are correct. I hate it when the browser becomes a problem.
  3. Bil I thoroughly enjoyed reading all your thoughts about the battle, worts & all.
  4. Wow that is what happens when you incorrectly estimate the time/space factors . You can't say you did not try.
  5. I agree. It is a terrific AAR. The reasoning and graphical content make it terrific.
  6. Phil What is the latest 6th Armee intel of what the Soviet 23rd Army is trying to achieve with their operation? What is 6th Armee's intent for III Korps? I initially thought it was a defensive mission with the intent of keeping the Soviets from controlling the supplies in the city of Nyiegyhaza. I perceive that I am incorrect and not completely understanding what your intent is for III Korps. Am I trying to retain terrain objectives? Am I trying to control all the supply areas? Am I trying to destroy Soviet units? Without this intent understanding, I am just wasting the combat resources you are entrusting me with. Please let me know what your intent is. Doug
  7. mjkerner Mark What is the terrain like here? Would it be worth counterattacking into this hex and fight on this terrain?
  8. German Commanders Here is the latest 6th Armee SITREP that shows our operational graphics and what 6th Armee sees the Soviets doing.
  9. Mark Sounds like a plan. Go and execute. Good hunting. Doug
  10. Phil Is the Luftwaffe flying at 0800 hours? mjkerner If the Luftwaffe is flying I plan to supplement you with some sorties to keep the armor off you. What do you think is a good course of action? My thought from an operational perspective given the sparse intel is that 1 & 2 /Aufkl Abt disengage to vic (4,5) to prevent the Soviet forces from flanking our main forces to the north. Doug
  11. Phil What do my other units see in hexes (1,7) and (2,7)? I am trying to determine in any units vic (2,7) moved between 0600 and 0800. There is a possibility that two of the four new units could be units that moved from (2,7). Or am I stuck guessing what happened?
  12. All German Commanders INTSUM 1 INTSUM 1 230800SEP1944 III Panzer Korps HQ vic 0,0 INFO CUT OFF TIME: 0730 23SEP44 Time Period Covered: 0600-0800 23SEP44 1. HIGHLIGHTS: a. Wetter: i. Wettervorhersage: 1. 230600-0800SEP44 – Sunny & clear 2. 230800-1000SEP44 – Sunny & clear b. Ground Situation: i. General: Soviet units appear to be conducting a frontal attack against our southern flank. 46 Fusilier BN, 52 Pz Jg Abt, & Volksdeutsche KP absorbed the initial Soviet attacks with the 46 Fusilier BN paying a heavy price in casualties. However the Soviets lost between 120-200 men and 1-20 tanks in this initial action ii. Boden Actions: 1. 46 Fusilier BN, 52 Pz Jg Abt, & Volksdeutsche KP conducted hasty defense and killed around 120 men and 7 tanks. 2. 1 & 2 /Aufkl Abt conducted reconnaissance in force vic (4,6) against Allied aufklärungs forces and appears to have destroyed them (see Soviet Casualty Sheet 2 of 2). 3. 1 Pz Rgt 23, 2 Pz Rgt 23, I/128 PG Rgt, II/128 PG Rgt counter-attacked vic (2,6) to destroy Allied panzer and panzer grenadier forces and preliminary results are these units are destroyed or combat ineffective (see Soviet Casualty Sheet 2 of 2). c.

Boden (0800-1000 23SEP44): i. New units vic (3,7 / 4,7) attack to seize (4,6) in order to interdict our use of this broken terrain and defeat 1 & 2 /Aufkl Abt. b. Luftwaffe (0800-1000 23SEP44): i. None anticipated. 3. ALLIED UNIT ASSESSMENT: a. Most Likely Course of Action: i. New units vic (3,7 / 4,7) attack to seize (4,6) in order to interdict our use of this broken terrain and defeat 1 & 2 /Aufkl Abt. b. Most Dangerous Course Of Action: i. New units vic (3,7 / 4,7) with luftwaffe and artillerie support attack to seize (4,6) in order to interdict our use of this broken terrain and defeat 1 & 2 /Aufkl Abt. 4. ENEMY MOVEMENT DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD: Four (4) new Soviet units manuevered against 1 & 2 /Aufkl Abt. The forces appear to be aufklärungs vic (3,7), panzer vic (4,7), and self-propelled artillerie forces (3,7 / 4,7). Soviet Casualty Sheet 1 of 2 (Shows the four new units) Soviet Casualty Sheet (2 of 2) Shows what is believed to be the results of the 46 Fusilier BN, 52 Pz Jg Abt, & Volksdeutsche KP hasty defense.
  13. Phil Do you have the Soviet casualty count from the two battles 230700SEP44? I am trying to figure out what the Soviet situation is on the ground starting 230800SEP44. I am attempting to put together a 230800SEP44 INTSUM for my German commanders.
  14. Phil I am a dumb donkey or some other word. I did not want the four units that were assaulting to move into the vacant hex. However I did not tell you so I get to make my first operational mistake and leave my flank open after creating a possible open Soviet flank. I was trying to protect the recon units and have some maneuver room for the counterattacking regiments. I blew it. FOW is painful. Was there any defensive fire from my advancing units against the southern Soviet units vic (3,7)? Was there any defensive fire from my recon units? Were there any casualties caused by any of this defensive fire?
  15. Mark   Great job in opening up the northern flank.  From the conversation you also left your flank open  :P .   Doug
  16. Phil Does 6th Armee anticipate releasing any luftwaffe sorties between 0800-1000 hours to III Panzer Korps?
  17. Phil Does 6th Armee have any weather reports for the 0800-1000 hour time frame? I possibly looking at putting together a III Korps INTSUM. It might look something like this INTSUM 1 230800SEP1944 III Panzer Korps HQ vic 0,0 INFO CUT OFF TIME: 0730 23SEP44 Time Period Covered: 0600-0800 23SEP44 1. HIGHLIGHTS: a. Wetter: i.

  18. Phil I am truly honored you asked me to do it. I am having fun and hopefully creating some great battle opportunities for my German commanders.
  19. Phil In the near future, no. Currently my time is spent on this campaign and the information for it and The Last Stand Campaign on FGM. I do not even have time to play against the AI. This past weekend my two grandchildren dropped by somewhat unexpectedly and time flies when they are around. I believe from what my wife is telling me that the grandkids and their mother (daughter) have a standing open invitation to drop by for the next 8 weeks because my son-in-law is working most of these next Saturdays as the High School Marching Band director and has competitions for the next 8 weeks. My wife and I get to keep everyone sane and not kill one another . Maybe in the future, Doug
  20. Phil Thank you for the pictures. It appears I might have guessed correctly on where to counterattack to gain some maneuver room. It also looks like the commanders are doing a good job of closing with and destroying the enemy.
  21. Phil I am not planning to use any of these cards this turn.
  22. mjkerner You will get direct fire support for the battle but it will not be available until after 30 minutes. Your FOs need to make up for my staff's incompetence. Good hunting.
