I'm in! Prefer Pbem [ May 08, 2004, 07:46 PM: Message edited by: Arngrim ]

The brave Irisah succumb to the British onslaugt. Sweden desires to join the Axis war effort, and send needed supplies as a token of goodwill.

Al quiet in europe, nothing much happening, the regular training exercise on Malta and the Italian Blitz in greece, who surrenders immediately.

Sofia taken, Malta recaptured. The allies now dominate the seas as well. Time for the showdown in Berlin. British High Command recieves intriguing suggestion of new way to use carriers from German HC. Tests postponed until carriers return to port. [ May 02, 2004, 09:13 AM: Message edited by: Arngrim ]

All is quiet in europe, apart from a reorganisation, and the weekly bombardment of malta, nothing much is happening at the moment....

Since the official thread is off-limits posting-wise, I figured it might be a good idea to open up a new one. So, predictions, bets, goodhearted proclamations etc: go for it guys. I'm too new to the forum to have any chance at predictions, so I'll leave it to the better informed players. Anyway, here's the matchup. Any resemblance with anything written in the official thread is pure coincidence. posted 2004-04-25 23:57 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matches 1.

Marseilles, Algiers and hamburg taken. axis are beginning to suffer heavu casualties but still maintain an orderly front. Berlin now threatened on three sides. Allies own the skies.

Vichy? You are way too suspicios my dear Derek, Manstein is merely interested in their water...

Russian Front: Not much happening, slowly whittling down the Axis Mpp's on the frm frontline. Allies have entered the med. a stray sub was sunk. fighting in the west is very mobile, with few units and a lot of ground.

Turn 8? France has fallen. F air in Egypt spotted. Nice move. Egypt appears to be heavily defended… perhaps the allies plan a med-campaign? Denmark taken. Bock celebrates in Oslo Italian navy is getting rather proficient at bombarding Malta

Turn2 Königsberg lost, berlin & Prague (?) threatened. Placing corps in berlin. Hq walks west, Warsaw surrounded 6 down to 3. P air hides nort of Königsberg, nice move, didn’t see it until after Denmark KM exercise. LC goes well, taken. Corps to Ardennes, 1 gb, 1 french interception of LC. Armor moves s/w of Brussels, attacks army, supported by one air. Subs raid. LC surrenders. Turn 3 Prague taken by Poles. P air fight KM, 1pt Subs found, both damaged, British ship sunk, and raid continues. Denmark pinged Warsaw taken, but lots of polish troops on tha map No headway in LC Heavy airbattles. New airfleet for a hopeful edge in breakthroughs… Turn 4. Concerted action by F&R navy destroy both subs while taking minimal damage. Polish Corps in Prague threaten Munich. Next corps occupy Prague. Bad… Luftwaffe+armor train on Pcorps, destroying it. KM strikes Pair to 1 First blood hex Farmy attacked by armor&army, down to 4 Atacking army in Poland & Königsberg. War: Italy: 88% US:14% R:40% Poland Surrenders! *phew* Turn 5 French full retreat towards Paris. Denmark reinforced. KM practice gunnery on Copenhagen. Manstein commission (the choices, air, ‘tech, or HQ) 3 armies (damaged)+Bock prepare for Norway. Blitz vs paris with c, A+Pz results in Farmy destroyed. 1c crosses Danish border. Misc units operate/move West. Maginot completely destroyed, F resource in G hands. Turn 6. Italy enters the war, and immedieately takes Marseilles. Fleet on maneuver.. German armygroup France has now reached paris, destroying a corps on the way. Taskforce Scandinavia in preparation. KM on gunnerytraining vs Copenhagen. Turn 7 Italian navy trains on corps at Malta. Army destroyed in france.

The russians stand their ground in the east, while their airfleets pound berlin, wich is threatened by armor. linkup in the North with the british soon complete. gaining ground in the balkans. relief corps Iraq arrives. sub in gib. heavily damaged by american fleet. Gibraltar retaken. steady advance in the west.

Of course Exel shall have the satisfaction of destroying me utterly in our next game. In this one I'm still focusing on Berlin... :cool:

Kuni: Finnen får ju pisk! Translation: Kuni: the Finn is being defeated!

British air+corps takes Paris. British troops take Brussels.give and take on the Russian Front. The US will finally tip the scales...

First thread I've ever seen zapp and Terif laughing together! :eek: Keep it up guys!

Go Europe!

Jersey: thanks for the feedback. for the AAR: allies are low on MPP:s so they slowly kill a german every second turn, and raid the med. the russiand steadily advance and since brilliance are no longer neccesary, the steadily pound away. Finland surrenders.

I'm testing this in a pbem with exel right now, didn't keep a score, so I'm unsure of the biuds, and if there's an AAR it'll have to be off the top of our heads. It seems to favour the axis a bit. but the good news is thes: no worries about the italian gambit, hence most houserules ecxept bids are unnecesary! Opinions/ experiences? anyone tried the historic 1939 in H vs H?

Oh, and to all current and future opponents: I _never_ cheat, but my computer seems to be rather unstable, so SC occasionally crashes. I believe that my current opponents can testify thet this happens wether the turns are good or bad for me, last BS is that outlook is bugging me too,. guess i'll need to do a proper computer overhaul this weekend.. :mad:

Pbem Derek No bids, No Italian gambit. I’m Axis. Turn 1 Operating Air+army + tank west. Destroy army in Poland, setting up positions around Warsaw. Denmark Dow and naval bombarded.

Russia likes to fight like hell

But, but, Sweden is MY homeland!!! :eek:
