The Legion of Duce (by Golothin), played with AK4K v.0,83 efile and PG2 2.20 exe, completed in May'2010

1. Incident at Walwal

Rather joke than a real battle at the beginning. After some duels around my initial VH situation was stabilized, so I was able to sent my HQ with two infantries and my tank with a task to capture enemy VH guarded by British infantry unit. With some softening by my bomber I forced defenders to retreat and took the VH one turn before BV limit. Got small AT gun proto.

Result: BV (-2T) / Proto: 47mm AT

2. Ganale Doria

Before the battle purchased Bersaglieri, Ascari and 77mm arty. Sidegraded 47mm AT to MG.

I deployed my core arty, HQ and Bersaglieri on the west deployment hexes. Tank was deployed in the city VH and MG close to an airfield VH. Both Ascari infantries started from SH with command bunker.
When battle started, MG went to the airfield VH and defended it to the end. Ascaris directed central city VHs as quick as possible. Tank patrolled perimeter of all VHs on the east attacking enemy units which tried to assault. The enemy attack was quite intensive, but with artillery and bombers support I held all positions on the east safely to the end of battle.
My units on the west started to assault closest VH and took it after couple of turns. Bersaglieri unit was badly damaged and must retreat at 2 sp. Afterward auxiliary cavalry with my HQ and arty went to westernmost VH. Some bombers were sent there as well. That last objective was taken in the last BV turn. Got usual proto: Bersaglieri riding Motoguzzi. Unfortunately my units gain experience very slow.

Result: BV (LT) / Proto: Moto Bersaglieri

3. Guadalajara

Before the battle sold both Ascari. Purchased next Bersaglieri, 77mm gun and small Mortar.

The battle wasn't hard, but Italian forces were not so superior as Germans in original Guadalajara scenario. Both additional VHs placed on the south were found empty, so capturing wasn't a problem, but afterward enemy tried to recapture them, so defenders left in these VHs were busy to the end of battle.
Other VH on the road to farthest SW objective was taken easily after T-26 tank blowing. The last objective needed slightly more work as quite big group of enemy units blocked the way. Last VH was taken exactly in the last BV turn. No proto this time, but got first two leaders for my troops.

4. Across the Ebro

Before the battle sold Mortar. Purchased two 77mm arties and big AD gun.

All my attacking forces was divided on four groups, three of auxiliaries and one of my core units.
Small auxiliary group on the north were under continuous attacks, so took heavy loses and finally only one infantry survived, but it still was able to take northernmost VH inside the BV limit. Southern auxiliary group managed to take southernmost VH on time as well, but couldn't do nothing more.
Two central groups had most difficult tasks. They attacked from the west along the mountain valleys, which auxiliaries gathered more to the north and my core slightly to the south. After slow advance in the last BV turn aux group had one of their objectives under control, but still another one placed on the north of it remained in enemy hands. My core surrounded its VH completely, but didn't capture it inside BV limit. It was done a while later.
In that situation I was sure the ordinary V will be taken easily, but several turns in a row were rainy and lack of air support slowed down these auxies which fought for the last VH, and finally I missed even regular V by one turn. So, it wasn't good battle for me, as didn't get any real profits excepting few experience points.

5. Alps Offensive

Before the battle purchased Bersaglieri and another recon plane. Upgraded Moto Bersaglieri to Genio.

The battle in the midland went smoothly, due to good mountain infantries and artillery performance. My core with some auxiliaries advanced along seashore, which task was more difficult due to terrain obstacles and plenty of enemy fortifications. All VHs excepting the last one, southwestern port, were captured two turns before the BV limit. Unfortunately access to the last objective as very limited and defended by strong enemy engineer with long range arty and some cruiser support. I couldn't take it in straight assault, so it was done one turn after BV limit. Just one turn before I lost my arty to long range fire. One Bersaglieri unit was killed on the way as well.

6. Attack on Egypt

Before the battle sold towed AD and purchased big SPAD. Replaced losses buying new Bersaglieri and 75mm arty. Sidegraded 77mm arties to 75mm (the same price, lower SA but more ammo).

At the beginning nothing happened, just long walk across a dessert. My planes spotted enemy units early, but went out of spotting range afterward, so I was left alone till decided to attack. Soon RAF appeared, softening some of my units, with a little help from nasty RN cruiser. Closer objective at north was taken with a loss of one Bersaglieri, but when approached to the farther one on the east, another Bersaglieri and one arty were lost as well, when enemy units counterattacked. Managed to take regular V with one turn in spare.
Luckily, I got as compensation 3 new leaders here.

7. Fortress Keren

Before the battle sold expensive SPAD. Upgraded: Bersaglieri to Paracadutisti, small tankette to real tank, DF arty to bigger 149mm gun and Influence bomber to SM.84 (max. OSed). For remaining prestige purchased AD with horses and cheap regular infantry.

This battle wasn't easy for sure. Inspired by Doug's tactic I decided to do some BoB here as well. As soon as possible Para unit was sent to SW corner of map and dropped close to enemy SH. After couple of turns took that SH to cut enemy of supplies, and assaulted southern VH perimeter from the west, clearing the way through minefields.

In the meantime hard battle went all around my initial defending positions. Two VHs on the left flank were guarded by my core Engineer and AD, when next two VHs on the right were defended by MG and new regular infantry. HQ unit with all three arties were deployed in the central valley area, when remaining units started on the north. My planes were busy with helping defenders all the time.
On the western flank AD was able to survive keeping VH successfully to the end, when Engineer left its objective temporarily to remove annoying 25Pdr which supported enemy attack. Afterward that VH was easily recaptured. On the eastern flank MG held its objective with some units support effectively, despite furious enemy attempts to remove it. Most annoying part played Allied planes, which continuously hammered my units, mainly arties, when I wasn't able to neutralize them without fighters. Very soon occurred, that settlement of green regular infantry into easternmost VH was obvious mistake, as it was killed promptly and VH was taken by enemy. During that defensive battle I was forced to spent a lot of prestige for units repairs, to save them from annihilation.

My core group in the center made breakthrough after several turns, which allowed me to sent one auxiliary CCNN infantry with my core big gun to the south, with a task to help Para with the VH capturing. The others went to the east trying to scare enemy attackers there and directing to the lost VH as well.

Para unit removed 25Pdr, which covered bunker installed in the VH. Afterward, with the big DF gun fire that bunker was seriously softened, so Para unit blown it out and captured the southern VH one turn before BV limit. In the moment only one task to complete remained – my easternmost VH recapturing. The VH was cleared one turn later with my bombers attack, but taking it was another thing. Due to mountain terrain and surrounding escarpments I was able to take the empty VH two turns after BV limit, scoring regular Victory.
I think that result may be taken as decent achievement, especially with two new leaders, which were assigned during the battle.

8. Operation Crusader

Before the battle upgraded two 75mm arties to better range 4 type and sidegraded MG to 47mm AT. Purchased two small SPATs, 75mm AD gun and regular Fanteria for the rest.

Finally went through this massive battle. It wasn't easy with my small core, which was hammered by horde of enemy planes. I must restart it twice early, searching for better core composition and battle plan. Unfortunately, green units are very hard to maintain – e.g. new Bersaglieri can even loose 7 sp. with single 5,5 inch arty shot.

So, in my third attempt I deployed big arty, AD and M13 tank with auxiliaries grouped in Tobruk perimeter. Settled my towed AT and one SPAT on their rear, to cover assaulting group from enemy attacks which were expected from the east. Paratrooper with one 75mm arty and one SPAT were deployed next to northeastern VH/SH, to help defend it. The rest of my core were placed on the east of Italian VH/SH on the southeast.
The western group attacked Tobruk's defenders gradually, advancing step by step. They achieved their aim without bigger problems capturing the objective couple of turns before BV limit. They weren't disturbed by enemy air force at all.
The southern group survived initial enemy attack and counterattacked with some help of reinforcements which appeared in the SW area. They took central south enemy VH exactly in the last BV turn.
Hardest work was done by German auxiliaries that started on the hills in the middle north, as well as NE VH defenders. I waited for a while with Germans, trying to use initial entrenchment for enemy attack repelling. My units from NE tried to attack and capture an airfield close to the south. It wasn't good idea to start attack so early, as I lost my new green SPAT at once. Anyway with arty support my Paras were close to the airfield capturing, when enemy reinforcements appeared all around. I sent quickly my planes to save situation there, and bought two small tanks as well. After several turns all attackers were killed, but my units from that area didn't participate in final advance at all. That task was completed by German forces, which after initial defending and enemy softening started to advance to the south. They recaptured my VH lost at the beginning of battle and then went to the southernmost VH with my air force support. It was cleared by triple bombing in the last BV turn, but unfortunately was out of my ground units range, so I took regular Victory only.

9. Raid on Tobruk

Before the battle sold Fanteria, Sem 47 and 75mm AD. Upgraded 47mm AT to Sem 75. Purchased two Arditi, recon and next 75mm arty. OSed bombers for the rest of prestige.

This battle was much easier and went without problems. I deployed HQ, one Arditi, big gun and recon on the east of French southwestern VH. The rest of my core was placed around western airfield VH/SH.
My southern group captured French VH after short fight. They didn't do nothing important afterward due to long distance separating them from the other groups, when the battle was rather short.
German auxiliaries attacked from the southeastern area along the road directing north. They captured southern airfield and couple of turns later another airfield with VH.
The western group of auxiliaries supported by my core units attacked northwestern enemy VH first. In the meantime my Paras flew over the sea to the northeastern corner of map and landed several hexes to the north of Acroma VH. The NW VH was taken and all units from the western group started to drive along two roads to the east directing Acroma. Anyway, they didn't reach it on time to participate in final assault.
My Paratrooper finally sneaked close to Acroma and was able to reach it in the next turn, so I sent two bombers then, one by one, which weakened single defender. Afterward Paratrooper approached and attacked clearing the last objective. One of recons from the German group on the south was able to reach and take the empty VH afterward, so finally long awaited BV was scored (single turn before limit).

Result: BV (-1T)

10. Alam Halfa

Before the battle sold 75mm AD. Purchased 75mm SPAD and 90mm Flak. OSed bombers for the rest of prestige.

I don't like battles with so massive units amount, when you need several minutes to move them all and then wait another quarter of an hour till AI moves all enemies as well. Anyway, the battle wasn't difficult, so I made patient and steady progress scoring BV exactly in the limit for it.
I didn't deploy any of my core units in southern area, placing all of them in the northern SH area. They supported auxiliaries and went parallel to seashore, capturing closest VH on the north, then the second VH in the middle (slightly to the south) and directed to farthest VH in the northeast. That VH was attacked by my core Paratrooper as well, which landed on the east of it.

Auxiliaries in the south captured enemy VH there with an airfield next to it. Afterward two auxiliary paratroopers flew to the easternmost VH, landed on the east of it and attacked with my best bomber support.

Both farthest VHs on the east were taken in the last BV turn. Finally got my third proto, but only a decent tank, when other players take squadrons of fighters.

Result: BV (LT) / Proto: M15/42 tank

11. Alexandria

Before the battle purchased SM84 bomber and OSed some units for the rest of prestige.

That was nice run for me, especially after previous massive battle. This time main part was played by my core army, with very small auxiliaries contingent.
I deployed my army in two columns on the south, which went along two roads directing north with plan to arrive Alexandria from the west and the east. Left column was formed by Genio, two tanks (M14 & L6), recon, two arties (149mm & 75mm) and SPAD. In the right column went the rest of units.
Auxiliary paratrooper took an airfield which allowed to deploy my planes. Afterward it flew to the farthest NE objective, landed on the east of it and took it after several turns with two auxiliary Stukas support.
Units from the eastern task force, which were reinforced later by couple of Germans, arrived finally to Alexandria bypassing an airfield on the SE of the city. It wasn't captured due to strong defenders grouped around it. The road to eastern Alexandria VH was cleared (from the southwest) and defender inside it blown out by bombing, but no unit of that group was able to go into VH in the last BV turn. Luckily it was done another way.
The western forces captured an airfield on the west of Alexandria, then attacked the city. They captured first two VHs quickly, then prepared to final assault of northernmost VH on a peninsula. It was captured in the last BV turn by Genio, when my recon luckily was able to drive east and help the second group penetrating into their VH in the same turn.
My brave Paras going all the way on foot played important part into the battle, which effort was awarded with a leader. The same with my lucky recon, which did couple of decisive shots in the city, gaining a lot of experience and a leader as well. In addition got another tank proto instead of most wanted fighter. I had big problems with enemy planes here – two bombers did a lot of damage to my ground units when two fighters hammered my bombers. I lost almost all OSing on them.

Result: BV (LT) / Proto: P26/40 tank

12. Sicily

Before the battle purchased Re2005 and OSed some units for the rest of prestige.

I deployed two tanks, Flak and arty on four hexes available on the west. Together with some auxiliaries they directed south to the seashore, with a plan to turn east and attack enemy VH from western flank. Unfortunately it wasn't possible to follow the plan, as strong enemy opposition was met before reaching the sea, so my units were stopped there, weakened and finally forced to retreat. Afterward they only defended area around the western VH.

Auxiliaries on the eastern flank advanced slowly directing enemy easternmost VH on the shore. They were reinforced later by couple of units and with intensive bombers' support captured the first objective, as well as the second one slightly to the west, without serious problems with big time margin.

Most of my core units were deployed in the center of map. They attacked from the north directing south in two columns, separated by the river in the middle. Left column units were stopped by defenders and fought struggling to the end of battle, but were not able to approach the middle west objective. Right column units did better job and made breakthrough to the sea. With support of my bomber squadrons they captured the middle east VH and afterward attacked objective on the west of it. The last VH was defended only by 5 sp unit (despite some OSed units placed all around), so after intensive bombing and artillery cannonade I could pass some defenders with my recon and force suppressed VH defender to retreat, scoring surprisingly fast BV with three turns in spare. Anyway, the battle wasn't easy, as several of my units were seriously weakened and must be hidden out of enemy sight. My new fighter performed well against bombers, but in single attack of enemy Mustang was reduced to 2 sp , so I must keep it out of use. Newest tank and the Flak got new leaders.

13. Beirut

Before the battle sold small L6/40 tank. Upgraded M14/41 and L6/40 to 2x P26/40, Sem 75/18 M40 to range-2 Sem 75/46 M43

I deployed my forces in southern area in prepared hexes. Afterward organized attack on closest VH slightly to the north, which was captured together with its airfield promptly. Later my forces directed further north approaching VH on the sea shore.
In the meantime my Paratrooper flew from the airfield next to its initial deployment hex to the farther enemy VH placed next to an airfield in NE map corner. My unit landed couple of hexes from it and after short walk cleared and captured the airfield first and then VH without any problems. Afterward it rested there to the end of battle.
Main group made breakthrough by some defenders, including nasty Sherman tank (it reduced my M15 tank to 1 sp after preliminary bomber attack), and attacked central objective on the shore. It was taken soon. Then I detached small task group to take VH in the middle east, when the rest went further to the north.
German auxiliary Paratroopers, which appeared as reinforcements, landed north of the NW objective and took it straight.
Remaining three VHs, one middle east and two on western peninsula were captured in the last BV turn. The first one was done by the task group detached earlier, when both Beirut VHs were attacked from the south by main forces approaching along the shore.
Got two new leaders on tank and infantry.

14. Habaniya

Before the battle upgraded M15/42 to P26/40 and 2x 75mm 75/32 to 2x Sem 105/25 M43. OSed some units.

This battle was disappointing, as I counted on BV here, but didn't manage to achieve it.
Unfortunately southern group of six units was stopped by strong counterattack and must hold defensive position for some time, before attackers were weakened or destroyed. It took too much time, so that units couldn't help to reach farthest objective behind the swamps and river on time for BV.
The main group started on the northwestern deployment zone and directed first Polish VH straight. Terrain didn't allow fast advance, but some progress were made with each turn. After capturing the VH I split my forces, some units directed northern crossing point on the river, when other went to the second point next to the city, but the way was slow due to swamps. Finally my arties placed behind the river and bombers were able to clear last VH behind the river, but no unit was able to take empty objective inside BV limit due to traffic and logistic problems. I cleared VH regularly turn after turn, but my ground units arrived to VH only for the last regular Victory turn. Disappointed with that result, I decided to skip the V or even TV, and waited till loss - ending my campaign here. With a bridging unit BV should be safe here, but I didn't purchased any for this battle.
The war is finally over. The composition of my army saved just before the end is listed below.
