Ah really and were came your Supplies from? like the tanks and the fuel and the ammo. Without the US Supplies and the later Invasion from the US troops in Morocco, you would have lost.

Oh really...and where exactly did your supplies come from? it's not like you were alone now, you already mentioned the Italians after all, yep thats right, we may have had our supplies from an ally, but it was our boots on the ground....alone, against the Germans and Italians....2 against 1 just in case you don't get it.

Well in case of the Italians i would dare to say, it was more 1 1/5 against 1, just in case you don't get it.

No that's not an insult, that's a historical fact.
The Italians started two Major Operations (Africa and Greece) in both they have their butts whooped heavily by the Greeks and the UK and in both a german intervention was necessary to save them!

I want to make it clear that I am not choosing sides here. But the bottom line is that the lufftwaffe though very good (the airmen) was terribly mismanaged. Thankfully this was to Englands advantage. And yes, America played a key part in their War Supply. But then WAR is rarily fair, and it certainly is not a Sim or a game, is it?

@Avro m8, salute! You've still got it! Just one little thread and wham!
Just like the good old days over at the 'zoo.

You know, there's hope for the Banana forum yet!

IIRC 5 French Divisons blocked ~20 Italian Divisons.
