re: #74 Dark_Falcon

I like this sort of conversation. Thought: Historically, Boeing B-17G Flying Fortresses involved in cross-Europe shuttle-bombing raids (Operation FRANTIC) did mount some supply drops to the Polish Home Army (AK). I wonder if that will happen here and what happens if you capture a supply drop (as several German units in France actually did pre-OVERLORD).

Note: I write Allied operation names in ALLCAPS, Axis operation names are in italics.

According to the mission breifing I can expect to see at least some American Airpower in the area though any Red Army air assets are currently grounded/staying on the defensive.

I doubt I will be able to capture the supply drops but the game does go to surprisingly lengths in order to replicate little bits of history here and there.

(For example a particular anti-air battery at the Modlin Fortress in Poland got more kills than any other Polish battery so in game that unit has buffed stats. Another example is you have to Capture (well at least have to try and capture) Pavlov’s house when you are assaulting Stalingrad and are able to have your bombers attack barges full of soviet reinforcements who are being ferried across the river from the other side off map.)

Also believe me, you feel the arrival of the fifth guard tank army at Prokhorovka, a pile of over strength (means they have plenty of time to rest and refit before going into battle) three star experience (when most enemies you fight in that mission have only two stars) Red army tanks will roll at you out of the fog of war like there is no tomorrow.
