France 1940 Mod B - No peeking Marshall Antoni :)

[cillmhor]

Turns 12 & 13:

The pounding of French lines in the east of the Maginot Line continues as does the pocketing of troops to the west of Paris. Forward units were repulsed from Caen, and not await reinforcements before proceeding any further. The beginning of Axis turn 13 tells me that Metz, Rouen and Beauvais all fall causing Allied discipline to continue to unravel, which means that I have reached another desertion trigger for the Allies.



The image above shows how the Maginot Line is being pressured in the eastern sector, and reinforcements are about to start to close the jaws of the western edge of the Maginot Line defenders. In truth, I am now fighting French units behind the Maginot Line in many places, but the fighting is tough, and will take time as their are large numbers of well-supplied defenders and forts to remove.



In the north around Paris the last of the BEF is being bottled up with some brave French defenders and once I have dispatched them, the way lies open to push west and south and I can then really start to rack up the victory points by taking towns. I have circled air units in red to show how I am continuing to keep them moving forward with the advance to keep up my air superiority, I am 19 and Antoni is 1 in the air superiority battle, and I have 2 interdiction to 0. My supply levels are good in most sectors, I contine to repair key rail junctions (the latest being Paris), and I have the luxury of saving Korps behind the main advance from time to time as a well-supplied reserve.

With the even the mighty Maginot Line showing some cracks, the end is nigh for France now. It will only be a matter of time, I hope!
