It's a Long Way to Tipperary Tournament - Round 3 - S43 DIME Beach

[Steel God]

Situation at the end of Turn 15 – 1000 July 11th 1943

More of the same from the Ubermensch….move up, take a shot, inflict 24 casualties, take return fire and receive 6 casualties.  After playing with the standardized OOB for so long the old OOB files associated with the scenario are simply shocking at times.  It's neither "right" or "wrong" just simply a reflection on "what was" and "what is".

Decided that with the SA value disparity I'd try some more assaults (presumably those ratios are closer) and stop firing at Germans.  Overall, the results were much better with higher loss ratios inflicted on the Germans whether they were armor or infantry.  But with 5 turns left I don’t see a high probability path towards a victory, only a slim one against the Livorno Division and it will require some luck.  Brian’s abandonment of the left bank of the Gela allowed me to isolate half the Livorno divisions infantry this turn, which will necessitate a pull back or risk the loss of over 1000 Italian infantry which would be a game changer.  He simply will not allow that though.
