We have artillery, however, the Brits really concentrated a lot and have currently more shells to fire.
We have:
from the 5.Light: 155. Art.Reg
from the 15.PD: 33rd Art Reg.
and of course art from the Italian divisions

Re: Red Flood
I have to agree with Stig, A3. We are uncapable of further advance, and retreating would mean a moral victory for the brits. What we should brush up on is urban attack and defence. For the future. Stalingrad and such.
Oh, and concentrate the artillery on antitank fortifications and minefields and such. If our tanks get to the streets, it'll all go smoother.

B) What about the British activities against the supply for Africa? Make proposals!
C) What about Crete?
Re: Red Flood
Crete should be considered, planned and charted for when the FJ finish their re-equipment, retraining and resupplying. But it should not happen yet, at least for as long as Greece and Tobruk are in enemy hands.Originally Posted by Franconicus
We must convince the italians to give us more escort. And increase our air presence in the area in both bombers and reconassaince planes to make sure we know whats'a crackin'

Re: Red Flood
I would go for A2 - Rommel's head long dash has left us in a dangerious position. Let us fall back a little, dig in and wait for the counter-attack - that puts us at an advantage to hit them when they are worn down. Also Hoth needs to exhert his authority.
Our supply problems - more Italian naval support, bigger, better supported convoys and use all those Italian submarines to support our convoys. Finally what about bringing some German submariners to man the Italian boats - use the german commanded boats - with their more aggresssive tactics and better skill - to mount an aggressive submarine cordon around Alexandria.
Crete - is it worth the potenial casualties? Malta has shown our ability, so we do not need the Crete operation to prove our worth - let's wait for a better target. The only advantage that Crete will bring is the potential of inflicting casualties on the Royal Navy if they have to evacuate English troops - and we have to win for that to happen. Malta showed the strengths and weaknesses - we should not waste our valuable weapon of the airbourne arm.

Re: Red Flood
Just leave Crete. Once we have Tobruk we will have a short supply route. Then with the FJ we can make a dash for Alexandria. We should convince the German high command that we need more troops in Africa, and since we're only here to help the Italians we should ask them as well for obvious reason (they might be insulted if we take over again).
Plus I think it might be well to send U-boats into the Med to support our convoys ... as I said before.
Re: Red Flood
There are already two other German tank divisions on the way, the 3. and the 4.. Both are excelelent units. And you will get an extra pioneer regiment. I think your problem is not how to get more divisions, but how to ship them and how to supply them.
We already asked Dönitz about subs. He said he could not send some before fall.
