June 8-18, 1944
My electric boats continue to pound the American (supply) reinforcements to Port Amelia, in Mozambique. This last week we had results in this part of the ocean. When merchant ships are not available for targets, our grey wolves strike their destroyer escorts!
I don't quite understand why the Americans are insisting so much into helping the remnants of colonial Britain in that part of Africa, but they indeed tie down a lot of Italian, Ethiopian, Belgian, and Portuguese troops in the area. I will definitely have to throw them out soon.
You do remember Lieutenant General Koch-Erpach of the IV. Armeekorps, right? Well, he just arrived from the East in Aberdeen and he will command a couple of mechanized divisions for the thrust towards Inverness.
In the evening the fast mechanized SS troops shock their rivals in an aggressive offensive. The 36th "Texas" National Guard Division is no position to delay the advancement. The flat grounds and good weather mean extremely quick march. In the South we also try to break towards the other important port North of Edinburgh, Rosyth. In Balmoral we have a hard time stopping the US counterattack though.
Somebody had asked for screenshots with counters. Well, here is one. You also see how the Bismarckflotte is moving around (although some ships are in bad shape) in order to provide shore support and dispatch the enemy fleets. We also try to attack Rosyth from the South (Shotts).
Finally our engineers have created a RADAR-guided missile that can strike enemy targets from afar. Our aircraft will be upgraded to sport the new system shortly.
Inverness falls under the boots of Lt. General Koch-Erpach. Now only Rosyth remains and the Americans will have no means to resupply their ground troops in Scotland. They will surrender in droves.
Nonetheless, as I have brought many armored and motorized-mechanized divisions from mainland Europe I notice how stretched is the fuel supply line. The port of Aberdeen demands more fuel than what it can get.
