My opinion. 9th Army starts coming in in late Sept. I'd shove every division you get from now on onto the Le Havre beach head and hammer his ground forces with air. My problem is that I let the score get higher than I normally do. When we started this game I was still trying to balance out my air strategy, and if we had to start over now, the score would be a lot closer to zero. Balancing the air war needs, with the ground attack needs is where I'm having the most trouble. You need bombing points till your city points catch up and you can afford to take some casualties, but I learned this a little too late.
I'm not sure how many casualties you've caused the axis forces to this point, but it can't be a great deal. If he's not close to a million casualties by now, then his manpower is probably not in that bad a shape. You have him spread out, now just concentrate on one place and you'll have some maneuver room.
In the South he is bottled up on Northeastern Italy, Gustov Line is holding and Southern France hes bottled up with just 1 TP. I have all the ports garrisoned and have a 3 panzer divisions in reserve and am starting to get more new units.
