5 Operation Husky ltv
"... Your planned landing zone is in the Southern tip area of Sicily, between Pachino and it's airfield. From there you will move Northwest along National Road 124, while the British 8th Army will take Siracusa, and then move North from there."
Invasion of Sicily - I restarted several times and was amazed at the targeted attacks by the German air force. My damaged fighters were followed to the edge of the map and destroyed. After the umpteenth attempt, I found that the Germans have a radar bunker with visibility 20 and can see my every movement. The radar bunker is in the middle of the mountains and to destroy it I would have needed a mountain unit. But I had no prestige for that. A guard and the useless AT went into the mountains and it took an eternity until the radar was destroyed. Then I was safer.
Before the British 8th Army lands, important units are damaged or destroyed by coastal batteries and the subsequent capture of Syracus claims further casualties. After that she is no longer able to successfully march north to conquer Augusta and Lentini. Further reinforcements arrive north of Augusta. But they are too weak to conquer the two northern VHs alone. In addition, they have no protection against the German air force.
I then made a new plan and let the 8th British Army sail northwards in a wide arc across the Mttelmeer in order to connect with the aux units there. This took many turns, but was successful.
The march was difficult in the south and I had to repair my units several times. A
was amused over my Sherman and decimated it to 1 strength.
