ghodges Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Nice pair Pawel! Operation Torch was our first big amphibious assault, and it set the foundation for the rest of the war. Its success allowed us to build on it, repeat its success around the world, and win the war! Thanks for posting! GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PawelP Posted November 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Sweet job! I love the maps that put everything into context.
