This is especially a problem as the Allies did share technology with each other. In return, Germany could give Japan some of their experience in radar and optics-it was a real problem for the Axis, not sharing technology with each other, even though the Kriegsmarine was ordered to under direct orders from Hitler (who they didn’t follow). More submarines for the Battle Of The Atlantic is always a great thing, and U-boats, especially those manned by great crews, with these torpedos could have been deadly. These submarines carried the type 95 torpedo, superior to the famous type 93 on Japanese cruisers and destroyers. I call them I-boats because all the ships in this group of ships (with several classes) started with the letter”I” (there was also the shorter range, possible cheaper, older, and generally inferior RO- boats). Operation Europe - an older game but quite fun trying the different historical battles settle with Japan giving Germany two “I-boats” (basically the Japanese version of U-boats, but with totally different functions due to differences in doctrine). Then you use your M4A3 -76mm Shermans and some M26 tank destroyers to engage head to head, and finish them off. You have to use bombers to soften them up and stress them out, and then you run around them trying to run them out of fuel so they are stuck. In that game when you play as the Allies, it always comes down to the Tiger 2 tanks being difficult to destroy. “Nuts” was the one word reply from the American commander at Bastogue, direct to the German Commander’s demand for their surrender. They also had around 200,000 men but they were mostly Civil Grenadiers and not that experienced.Īlso check out a book called ““Nuts” - The Battle of the Bulge”, tons of information. Some 100 other tanks were StuG III, Marders and Jagdpanzers. The Panthers are broken down into Panther D and Panther G. In this WW2 game I have, that is supposed to be historically accurate, it shows that the German forces at the Battle of the Bulge were made up with around 50 Tiger 2 tanks, 250 Panzer IV tanks, and around 350 (Panzer V) Panther tanks.
