***Campaign update TEST 2:*** AXIS forces have suffered once more heavy casualties, but they have achieve a significant Victory too. 18th Allied Heavy armored division was overrun and 17th have also suffered loses. So the over all Allied loss was over 250 vehicles (Shermans and Churchills). The Doetinchem access bridge was captured also, so now the remaining 17th Allied Division will have to pull additional 7 km back, freeing some room from AXIS divisions to advance. Tactically the battle was AXIS victory, but on the losses front, it can be argued who won. The Allies have generally much more equipment to waste where the germans need to be careful with the special equipment. The way to the enemy capital is long. Only time will tell in the live version of the campaign. Same goes for the air forces on both sides. The equipment there is more balanced, but still in low numbers.
**What is next: ** Each side have now about a week left to finish preparations and send me their divisions placements if they have not already. After that I will send them back the intel reports for the enemy divisions and they will have one more week to readjust their tactics if needed. But in that once week, they no longer have the right to change positions of their divisions on the map. Tentative start for the campaign is 22nd this month. The strategic map will go live on 22nd, meaning that all movement will begin then. After that, we are waiting for attack orders on either side, which will trigger a PVP events.
