The French expeditionary force makes a new attack towards Kaunas attempting to split Lithuania in half. About 175,000 against 80,000. 8 to win, medium risk. Blw|iPfuThe Lithuanians are pushed to Kaunas and their morale is weakening. Victory by 3: 2 % and 7.5 %, loser pushed back, slight morale boost and drop accordingly French: 2550 dead Lithuania: 9563 dead Second attack to completely capture Kaunas. 7 to win. DRSHCQMB Kaunas is liberated by the French. As a side note, irl Vilnius was in Polish control, but we can imagine Lithuania regained it prior to the war or something. Victory by 4: 2 % and 12%, loser pushed back, moderate morale boost and drop accordingly ~ 15000 Lithuanians dead ~ 2500 French dead |

Looking at the casualty rates, a reinforcement rate of 2% per page is going to be too high.

As Kaunas has been taken by the French, the Polish march to Klaipeda without any resistance. We now control two ports in the region.

100000 men and 100 tanks advance from Tripoli to the Tunisian border and begin scouting for French defensive positions. Meanwhile, 100,000 men from Florence move to Livorno. 100,000 from Naples begin moving to Livorno by train and will reach it on the next page. The 100,000 men in northern Sardinia prepare to cross to Corsica. I estimate that I can move 100,000 troops by sea at a time, and simultaneously manage the short crossing from Sardinia to Corsica. A number of transport aircraft arrive at Alghera in northern Sardinia. Kliment Jefremovitš Vorošilov Since we don't have any rules about this yet, I propose that an amphibious assault gives a +2 advantage to the defender (which can obviously be increased by fortifications). A naval barrage and/or extensive bombing reduces the advantage to +1. My navy that I sent previously is sitting off the port of Bastia. |

The whole French navy will pick up 200,000 from Portugal and transport them to Algiers, from which the other one of the armies will move to the Libyan border along with all 400 tanks in Africa and an army from eastern Morocco. After this, the navy will head to Ajaccio in Corsica.
700 fighters are moved to Marseille to defend the Balearic and Tyrrhenian Sea.
A total of 500,000 soldiers, 2 armies from Paris and 1 from Bordeaux, Cherbourg and Brest, are moved to Chamonix. Along them tanks until there are 2500 and 5000 guns are transported too.
The other army in Corsica begins digging defences on the southern and eastern coasts while the other starts digging trenches 10 km inland.

Eugene V. Debs, Theron of Acragas, Darth Nihilus, the effectiveness of tanks and guns has to be settled, but as a temporary solution I propose that a tank is equal to 500 soldiers and 250 in difficult terrain and a gun 150.

I tend to think guns should be worth more and perhaps tanks worth less when defending. For assaulting those narrow Alpine passes, I'd bet 500 dug-in guns more than compensate whatever advantage 500 tanks give you, while the major benefit of tanks (mobility) loses some value when defending fixed positions. If you don't mind, please hold off on attacking for a bit. It will take some time for everyone to concentrate in Chamonix and in that time I'll also reinforce, but I really don't have time to deal with it tonight. |

It will take some time for everyone to concentrate in Chamonix and in that time I'll also reinforce, but I really don't have time to deal with it tonight. I have to disagree with this. While guns are certainly handy for defending their main ability is to perform artillery barrages on enemy positions. An infantry charge, especially in mountainous terrain is probably not defended any better by clumsy and slowly reloadable guns than by tanks with not only the mobile main gun, but also a machine gun. And tanks offer of course much more protection. Moreover guns are more common and easier to produce. I'd say 500 for tanks when attacking and 250 when defending and 200 in all combat in difficult terrain. And for tanks, I insist on 150, but if you disagree, let me know. |
