T052-053: Third Reich 42-45 - Mike (Allies) vs Ken (Axis)

T052-053. 30 April - 6 May 1943

Strategic Update

The next moves will be a new offensive near Vyazma, and an airborne operation to capture Sardinia. Details to come.

Mediterranean - Calabria

After getting wrecked by the combined Axis Mediterranean fleet the first 50 turns of this game, I've finally started hitting back, but from the air. For the last four turns, I've send bombers to raid the Axis fleet in port, first at Messina, then at Bari. Over the course of these missions, hundreds of bombers have hit the enemy ships. But the biggest victory is the destruction of three(!) Axis battleships. In order to minimize the chance for the Axis to destroy an amphibious invasion fleet, I had to get rid of those battleships. Now there's only two left in the fleet, down from five. They've been hit so hard, Ken has been forced to move extra anti-aircraft batteries to cover the port.

Eastern Front - Bryansk-Orel and Rostov-Stalino

The slugfest continues. In both operations.
