And I did not catch the order of the players (factions) in the video, but it seemed to me that you should have left some openings for the British to attack and not always end your turn next to the enemy.
Well-taken notes, Gabe. I try to use engineers to clear mines as much as possible and sometimes I loose time with this approach.

Agree with you about sometimes I blocked my ally from deploying his own units and attacking enemy units. I will pay more attention to this next time.

Nice! 8)

:?: Have you kept track of the number of casualties?

I mean the amount of units fully destroyed. It could be nice to show it from time to time in order to figure out better how the balance of forces is switching... especially because you've shown the overall units in presence within your very first video. :wink:

No Australian nor British unit, that we've seen. :D But, maybe for another Tactical Study, I still think it may be interesting to keep track of this kind of stuff as well. :wink:

Nice! :D

There you're taking some ground and inflicting many casualties... But it's definitely about time to take and secure some airfield, though, because your planes do now need it... :wink:

:arrow: Which AF will be the first to be taken ? The western one or the eastern one? We'll see! 8)

Thanks! :D
But from now on it's mostly "overrun the enemy", yes?
Or does the Italian player really have another defensive line prepared? I doubt it...
