Europe In Flames Tournament Second Round

[Mr Grumpy]

Gordon,
Thank you very much for the images, my attention was immediately drawn to the fact that you had lost 4711 men, i am assuming that you had several units surrounded and destroyed?

This is were the job of balancing a game becomes very difficult, in balancing a scenario you have to make certain assumptions, one of which is that both players will be of equal ability and that there will not be a huge imbalance of losses.

If you had achieved parity in losses (which i know is achievable for the Allies) the game would have been a minor Allied victory or a draw which would have fitted well with the finishing positions of the forces in this game, in creating his bridgehead your losses could well have crippled the ability of the US forces to advance inland from this bridgehead and hence affect the course of the whole of the Sicily campaign and for that fact alone some may suggest you deserved to lose this scenario.

However i agree that it would be better if there was a real chance of the Axis driving the Allied back into the sea as they needed to do historically, i will let you know if i get round to looking at this again.
