Leopard Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 RMKO line in German control. Italian navy passes the rock. Axis losses after 2 years of War are 3 German U-boats, and 3 Italian transports (all corps). Near-mortally wounded Italian BB, at 2, survives UK airfleet attack at Stregnth 1 while in port awaiting repairs (now completed), thanks to protection of Italian airfleet. Axis has had good fortune in this game with battles like this having units survive at 1 or 2 stregnth.

Leopard Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 Comrade Trapp is doing a skillful job of a fighting retreat in the defense of the USSR, but Germany is a mega-power now since they have only lost 3 U-boats the entire game-no ground or air units. Germany has L-3 (max) Jets, L-2 anti-tank, L-2 Ind. Tech. Their flanks and borders are guarded. Germany's 6 airfleets are not all in USSR, as UK recon makes contact over France without a skirmish. Free French airfleet continues harassing Italian navy from Gibralter, and has inflicted costly damages for about 3 months now. An Italian Naval group including 3 heavy (L-3 at least) battleships moves nortwest from Gibralter. All Med ports owned by Axis except Gibralter. Italy has only conquered Alexandria and the Suez, has little income, but their navy has been an important weapon in fighting the UK. 3 different Allied BB, 1 French and 2 British, have been critically damaged to stregnth 3 or less in the past few turns. Those repairs are expensive and take time for nations like Italy, the UK, or the USA-Atlantic. The UK have fought Germany hard, but it has taken it's toll on the British economy. They have air and naval stregnth, but few ground troops. It will be difficult to open a second front with the airfleet limits, the Axis naval presense in teh Baltic and Atlantic, and German infantry at anti-tank L-2. The USSR is on the verge of losing another 80-120 resource MPP in the next 2-3 months, and need a second front badly. The USA is the wild card now, and their ability to reshape the trend of the war is the Allies best hope.
