And nevertheless, a few extra Axis units appear for the defense of Sicily right after the fall of Tunis so it is not completely defenseless. I think in this game we both saw that it would fall several turns earlier and in single player it can also be seen a few turns earlier. I think when the Axis player sees that he is unable to hold Tunisia he can start to build up the defenses in Sicily, if he wants to. And in single player it is also possible to delay it significantly even if the player is not very good or do not deploy too many units for the defense of Tunisia. In this game Torch happened in spring 1944, almost together with Normandy, which is much, much later.
But the problem is it always happens much later than it actually happened. I was thinking to add a 2-3 turn initial delay and I may do so later. So currently it is like 3 turns/1.5 month. Then in the next turn the units can be landed, but still cannot attack. So after one turn the invasion fleet appears and the ships can be moved to Sicily. Now I have no units for the defense of Sicily or for the defense of Italy.įor now I added a one turn delay. Perhaps this would be enough to organize the defense. It would be nice if there was some delay. After all, the next turn will begin the landing in Sicily.
