“The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.”― George Orwell (1984)
I went into this thinking it was a total Allied walkover, but the Germans have more in the tank than I thought. It is an interesting tactical situation. Watch out for the Germans at close range, they are total tank killers. My one thought was the Axis relief column has little chance of breaking through or even living when the Allies cut them off from Marseilles. I almost considered just postponing their arrival to prevent losing them. I didn't and they died quickly. Yet, it didn't seem to affect the eventual outcome. If the allied advances over open ground in LOS, the large volume of German artillery is going to make it hurt.
