Hopefully the situation continues to turn favorable for the Italians. Awaiting the next update with eagerness.
More court martials in order?
Just out of interest, how experienced are your best generals in terms of experience and/or level of skill?
Also, are you finding the Germans have the upper hand in battles due to more skilled generals and/or more experienced divisions?
At Carcassone I had pretty good troops. They were Alpini. So, they were elite special forces with higher base organization. The special forces doctrine was up to date. So, the actual 1942 organization was 75. Not too shabby, and as mentioned, they had fought all of the prior wars of Italy. So, their experience was between 36% and 38%. All of the leaders (Mancinelli, Frusci, Tellera and Lisi) were 2's, but I noticed that they were all on the verge of going to 3.
At the start of the game, I put my best generals in command of corps and they have not leveled up. Messe is still only 4. But his divisional commanders (de Stefanis, Barbasetti di Prun, Zingales and Bitossi) are all 3's and close to going to 4. Those divisions are at 41-42% experience.
Still it seems the Germans have a Messe commanding every division.
If I had to do it over again, Messe would be riding a tank. I am playing a game in ICE and by '40, my generals are all 4, 5 or 6. Messe is 7. I think ICE changed things.
