I am new to HoI MP-I was expecting a much greater challenge and enjoyment-got that. I was not expecting to be brought to laughing tears from the antics of crazy Frenchmen. This is a riot
I love this new vid from derm, maybe because it is not as caricatured as it seems
Indeed, derm has done well ingame (this time he has chosen to be wise and to follow the principles I'm trying to teach him for a loooooong while
).
Even if I controlled the DAK and the Luftwaffe there was nothing much I could have done in those circumstances.
The decision has not been made by Air or even by Navy but by amateurishness and underestimate of the opponent.
The Italian forces never managed to deploy his units correctly and never focused on the back defence of the attack's Spearhead (my DAK forces).
Once the DAK reached the Libyan coasts, in July 1940, there where still no Italian troops in the whole Afrika.
Despite all my demands since the beginning f the game, Italian leader has not prepared this campaign, he has kept useless forces in Sicilia ( in all the cases, it can't be defended if UK chose to invade it, so what the use putting units there?).
In Italia he kept hundreds of brigades on the coast, as if UK would have been mad enough to invade it while the German forces in Europe have nothing much to do.
The Reggia Marina (RIP) was supposed to secure the way to Libya...
Almost no new ships, only spare upgrades.
And the Italian Army was supposed to keep the German's back, in two words: protect the coasts.
Here again the Italian promises has not been followed with concrete acts.
Anyway, I assume my part in this catastrophic failure, I shouldn't have committed my DAK still no Italian units were deployed in Libya during peacetime ( Italy DOW UK in July 1940!).
I should have imposed first (instead of repeated but useless demands) to Italy to send his many useless troops stationed in mainland, in Libyan coasts.
What is done is done, we still aim to win the war despite this failure.
We will try to make UK pay for that...
EDIT: I've just noticed that it is my 1812th post, I hope it won't have any influence on my campaign in the East
