Early ado about nothing getting the Mustangs involved

Going all in with armour in the
North

Southern defense in the forest, will 8-inchers prove their worth?

26:39
Americans move to envelope the Southern defense
28:50
Bomber flies to support the Southern push, the rest advance toward Aschersleben
35:03
German cracks

1:20:50 M26 leader plows across the

1:24:12 Not enough Prestige for 51H, then this one would have to do
...
1:25:41
Setting the table, US leaves Barby for
Soviets
1:33:44 No loser among US or UK, when Herr Ackenheil is nowhere to be seen!
General Eaton and the US forces advance to
Dessau and the
Elbe River where it is expected that they will see the last action of the war. After what must've been months of low level operations set
aside with a single mouse click (or puff of a cigar), the last opportunity to avenge his
Mustang has finally arrived. Of course, He had to wait all the while before the Germans could make their experimental planes sky-worthy, what kind of revenge would it be to plink weakly at ground units? And that the Soviets are barreling down to the Elbe also has played a not so insignificant part in acting now (instead of waiting for arrival of
P-80). Will the
USAF finally be vindicated and have another leader? Or will it be one of the Shermans that sneak away with one on the whim of
RNG?
