Hey there dlazov66 dude: Great pics. They tell the story. I'm seeing you doing better than I'm doing....
Good for you. Very interesting display of Generalship. I like it a lot. I want to see some more of this
adventure. Please keep us informed of your progress.

Larry thanks for the kind words!

I am pretty rusty, its been a few years since I played but the great thing about this game is a lot comes back to you.

I'll take some more screen shots then as things progress, not every turn (so time consuming I just want to crush elmo, lol) but I'll take some snaps of some interesting things.

I really like playing the Allies in this one.

2 hexes from Messina, the Jerries stuck 2 AA units in there, but I have 3 UK recon units so got to bring up the infantry brigades.

Where I am really weak in playing TOAW (or lazy) is the air game, usually I let the AI run it.

I did that in some of my earlier turns through this scenario but I found that they weren't putting out the effort I needed from them so I
started doing some manual attacks too. Spend a round or two pounding enemy airfields or an especially hard spot on the ground.
I found that I needed some yellow ones to tell me that they are being pushed hard enough.

Well I finally got Messina on turn 18. Tough nut, the Axis AI threw in forces (perhaps foolishly) that I was able to eliminate). Now to build up for the Toe and Salerno operations. I must say this is a blast.

Here were those turns.
