Turn 11

Wolfpack does well...10MM 3Escorts sunk but 1 sub takes 4 hits.

Worth it. That sub goes home to get better.

Germany builds 2 subs and starts to ungarrison its troops.

Finally having a decent BOA...and will not make it past France. Sad

OH there will be. Just not worth the time now.
I will be posting shortly my order of battle...and look for suggestions.

Then...we hit.

Sadly this is one to the best games I have had as the Axis and will lose in July mostlikely.
But one never knows.

ORDER OF BATTLE

Post by stjeand »

So...the Axis will have the following...

Their starting 2 Panzer Corps.

Reinforcements
April 2nd
2 Panzer Corps
1 Mech Corp
April 30th
1 Panzer Corp
1 Mech Corp
May 14th
1 Panzer Corp

20 or so INF Corps
And the assorted air units


So now...the question is...

Netherlands and Belgium to open a wide front?
Just Belgium?

Anyones thoughts?

I almost always hit the Netherlands. I just need 2 Inf Corps, 1 Armor, 1 Mech...then the rest hit Belgium.

About a 25% chance I take Belgium. Not been having the best of luck. But we will see.

I am always doing both. And, for the test, I think it is important to do both.

Then a panzer moves in to take the capital.

Rivers always cost me more than I like...
But I pick my advancements...Heavy Artillery and Infiltrator.

Those units move into position prior to a declaration of war.
