From Salerno to Rome - Part Two

Richard and I have now completed the first turn of this game.  Still coming to terms with the mechanics and more importantly the best tactics to use in attacking and defending.

Both sides are running low on Activation Points.

This means lost opportunities to attack, create defensive positions or exploit gaps in the enemy's lines.

The US 45th Division was directed to pursue the retreating Germans

and link up with the 1st Canadians.

The Eight Army is strung out on the east coast

as German reinforcements race to establish defensive positions.

Weather will now be a factor and we will have to watch supply as while it is generous, it will be curtailed by bad weather, particularly if rivers are involved (they become impassable except at bridges).

Losses can be relatively easily recovered by pulling divisions out of line and resting them for a month.  Provided you have enough divisions to swap in and out, oh, and the Activation Points to do so.
