Quoted
General Gerard chooses to expediate his advance, rather then slow down, fully expecting that he will encounter the mysteriously absent Wilno troops concentrated around Vaskes.
Tsk tsk, such language. There was a need for speed. Besides, Gerard sent some folks to bring the Atlanteans waffles. I am a little surprised Gerard didn't pull back and start feeling for open wings sooner, but if the mud means relatively roadbound, options may be limited.Quoted
Thule, curses loudly and profanely at the stupidity of General Gerard
Quoted
the Bulgarian doctrine views ground-attack aircraft as, well, highly-mobile and long-ranged artillery.
Quoted
After all, cavalry in the open doesn't deal well with automatic cannon.....
Quoted
Gerard had his attention firmly fixed on his center and right flank, there he saw the battle being won or lost. Gerard felt that Lt.Colonel Luck was being needlessly alarmist in his interpretation of events.
Quoted
using all available Junker Ju-52 aircraft to para drop supply cannisters filled with ammo, food and medical supplies to the trapped LoN garrison.
Quoted
Konarski made it repeatedly clear to the Wilno Self-Defense men in Festung Kessel that they were the bastion of the Wilno Republic
Quoted
German Recon Battalion has fallen back some distance from its former positions, and placed itself in a position of defense. Haller decides to attack immediately, although Lt.Colonel Gradawski warns that only eight guns of his guns will be readily available for such a move.

Heh, the good thing for the air support is that only 1 side has tanks: the enemy. The LoN forces here don't have a single one, so any tank's a bad guy, and forces advancing with them are also bad guys.
Quoted
German INFANTRY forces would be better equipped against tanks, but the recon forces engaged here are reliant on their armored cars for any anti-tank capabilities. May need to add a couple ATRs to the motor fusiliers......
Quoted
On the Ju-52s dropping containers rather than landing, the idea is to supply the troops for a few days, not to support them indefinitely. Also, not much is known, at this time, about what works and what doesn't for supply by air. Not to mention that Germany doesn't want to lose too many transport planes, and the expectation is that most planes that land at Vaskes will be lost.

If Germany had some assault gliders, I'd use them, but none are available in 1935.
Agreed. This is almost the perfect occasion for them, too. Maybe Bulgaria should look into that.

I realized something today.
Col Thule is part of the Atlantean Royal family.
Does that mean when he was born, they announced
"A Thule is born!"
All and all I can see the question - who is more foolish, a Thule or his follower, becoming more relative.
