Post-Overlord Paris supply
Posted: Sat Dec 31, 2011 8:19 pm
Guys,
In my current game as Axis (2.0), the Allies have landed in France, taken a couple of cities (Lille, Brussels), but so far I've kept all ports out of their hands. In the last turn they captured Paris... and suddenly they enjoy supply level '5'. Hmmm... this doesn't seem right to me at all.
In RL, the Allies depended on supply coming in from across the Channel. Paris wasn't a significant supply source. As a result, for example, Patton was put on a supply diet so Monty could do Operation Market Garden.
To reflect the very real Allied logistics challenges in '44-'45, I suggest that we limit Allied supply to '3' from all liberated cites on the Continent.
