Pocket of Desperation

(May 13th - Oberkommando der Wehrmacht)
(OKW) The beating of french and british forces in Western Europe continues. A large continent of the British Expeditionary Forces have been cut of from their homeland and fight desperatly together with french resistance pockets to halt 6. Armee´s flanking movement wich started days ago with Breskens, continued along the coast down to Lille and now completely cut off a large chunk of France from the remains. 12. Armee have continued to advance in the south and holds the Meuse, while detachments joined the flanking movement and preprations for Operation Sealion. Morale is reported to be extremely low amongst the Allies and full brigades have surrended to the Axis War machine.

It has been argued that there is an imblance and that the Allies lack High Commanders. A quick look at the rosters shows that this is of course not true, that´s 16 versus 6 on the highest level! Could it be numbers then? France have 219,533 sorties, the BEF 213,861 and Wehrmacht 456,332, that´s an 22938 sortie favour for Axis versus Allies, looking back at previous campaigns it´s not significant. The question remain for some then, what is it? Axis News, believes it´s about squads and morale. A good base of squads for the players breeds dedicated Commanders and good Commanders and strong squads (not nessecarily large) keeps up morale regardless of Campaign outcomes.
