GWX and Operation Torch

pinkus-pils · 07-29-07, 03:42 PM

Does GWX model the invasion fleet for Casablanca during Operation Torch in November 42?

I've been sitting off the coast for some time now and I have come into contact with 1 British Large cargo, 1 British Passenger/Cargo (both carrying the typical loads of pulp, wood, sponges, paper towels, empty air tight drums, and anything else that will float), and a submerged S-class sub. I peppered its periscope and conning tower with my flak, didn't want to waste a torp on it so i let it go.

No task forces in the area or convoys that came close....i was hoping to see an American fleet on their way to Casablanca. An Iowa posing as the Washington, maybe an Essex posing as the Ranger and a host of troopships. Now its the 9/10th of November and nothing!

Any ideas?

Been reading the forum for a long time now...just finally got around to registering.

I was about to leave when i got this...just before midnight on the 10th

Lots of troop transports, LSTs, large tankers, a Bogue CVE, and a host of Fletchers and more. No BBs or CLs.

3 large tankers, 3 troop transports, 2 LSTs, the Bogue are now rusting on the bottom.

Out of torps and heading to Lorient....Casablanca still fell, but Patton is gonna be short of tanks, G.I.s, and gas! Maybe i got him too??
