With the arrival of good weather the air units can intervene with all their potential, the Luftwaffe has made some successful operations attacking Soviet bombers without escort and for the moment the Soviet reaction has been limited and has not caused significant damage, this is because the bulk of the Soviet air force is located in the Leningrad area, far from the most important areas of the front ...

Re: PHOTOS FROM THE FRONT
Regrettably what had been announced has finally happened, with the good weather the Soviet air force has concentrated, this time yes, on important objectives like tanks and artillery and has seriously damaged the German units demonstrating its tremendous vulnerability while demonstrating all its potential with 20 air units in the entire map !!
At the same time, an increase in the Allied bombing campaign on German cities is announced, for which it would be necessary to transfer anti-aircraft resources from the Eastern Front to Western Europe ... on the contrary, it is imperative to destroy or at least reduce this great Soviet air force. that apart from more or less damage each turn obliges the German units to remain entrenched, preventing them from taking advantage of their current superiority on land, so it has been decided to turn all the aerial potential in the east to achieve this goal and then return to Europe western.

For its part in the North of Afrika the situation has become untenable, the Afrika Korps has had to withdraw to Tobruk before the overwhelming superiority of the British and in Tunisia the Axis forces have not been able to deploy units to cope with the arrival of the first allied units...
Faced with this situation and the lack of reinforcements with which to face it, the drastic decision has been taken to leave North Afrika (both Libya and Tunisia) to save as many units as possible and to focus on the future defense of Sicily.

The survivors of the Afrika Korps flee desperate before the advance of the great British armored force
In principle the RAF and the Royal Navy have been swept from the eastern Mediterranean with what is evacuation should allow some units to escape, others will no longer have time

Re: PHOTOS FROM THE FRONT
Start of the next turn (turn 47) and when the Allies finish occupying Tunisia suddenly this happens in Sicily...
Where there were no units (because I have it checked and there were none) suddenly a mass of embarked units appears, I know that after the fall of Tunisia the Allies have to disembark in Sicily, but when (I) the human player I have to move troops from sea to land or backwards not only can I do it one by one because you can only embark one unit per port per turn, if you could do it all at once, you could have done many more things by magic. To all the Afrika Korps of Tobruk besides the fact that there is no port in Tunisia (and that prevents me from taking troops there easily and Sax to the south is still France from Vichy the North American port is Algeriers, the logical thing is Allied troops would have left there and then with the naval fleet and the Italian-German planes I have the opportunity to attack them and damage them during the journey since the Italian fleet has not been destroyed and Malta is in the hands of the Axis, if the Allied troops appear "by magic" I consider it an exploit too shameless and serious and it hurts me since I have focused my strategy on maintaining the naval control of the Gulf of Sicily and now in the best of cases I only have a turn to shoot when I should have had all the way from Algeriers or from the port that was, ... honestly I would like an explanation because it would be a pity that one thing should have damaged a magnificent mod.

Re: PHOTOS FROM THE FRONT
ESPADATXI, from my limited understanding of modding, I think this is the only way to simulate an amphibious landing on behalf of the AI in PzC, it is the same with the other major Allied operations in BE, i.e. Torch, Dragoon/Anvil and Overlord are no difference to Operation Husky.
Even with the Allied landing in Norway, the units just appear somewhere off the British coast and then sail two or three turns east but they are not being loaded onto transports one by one, they just all appear during one turn.
In addition, I might be wrong but I have never seen that the AI is actually using any port to embark (or disembark) only a single unit…

I also imagined the same thing, but of course, put yourself in my place, if the Allies do not have to make the naval journey, the ships that have cost me so much to maintain and repair do not serve me as they should serve me. Actually I think that it should be a prior condition for the landing to destroy or damage the Italian fleet because it does not make sense for them to disembark without having real naval superiority, however much they have occupied Tunisia.
From what I've seen the transport units appear in front of Tunisia and are launched on Sicily, okay, all right, at least they could appear in Algeria and make the journey by sea (2 or 3 turns) and with their warships ahead otherwise they would be massacred ...
Thanks for the reply
