crispy131313 Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I thought I would make an After Action Report, I have not done this yet. I hope this provides feed back on this great Mod for it's developer Cantona66. April 5, 2009 Czechslovakia follows in Austria's foosteps joining the Axis. Fall Weiss appears to be on schedule, as Axis forces begin to mount around Poland. The UK and France have continued to inch closer to war, unsettled about German's actions to occupy Saarland, and the Rheinland. However, Germany's occupation of neutral Denmark has proven not to be enough to see the Allies declare war on Germany just yet. Romania, Sweden, and Spain have been targets of Germany's diplomatic efforts, resulting in Romania beginning Oil shipments to Germany, and Spain coupled with Franco's victory has seen the Spanish begin to lean heavily towards the Axis cause. Two German divisions (I & III Corps) continue their unsuspected voyage around the bottom of Africa, destined to join forces with the DOAK in Italian East Africa. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy131313 Posted December 25, 2009 Author Share Posted December 25, 2009 July 12, 1939 Preperations for Fall Weiss continue, as Germany mobilizes it's armies and is now capable of upgrading it's infantry weapons. Spain has sent the Spanish Blue division to aid the Axis cause, leading Germany to beleive Spain may soon mobilize for war. The two German divisions finally reach the coast of Italian East Africa, and are now under the command of Von Arnim, and the DOAK. The Italian colonly is now nearly full moblized, and are preparing a surprise attack on British Somaliland. Germany also launches it's fleets of U-Boats into the Atlantic in anticipation of global support for the Allies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy131313 Posted December 25, 2009 Author Share Posted December 25, 2009 September 20, 1939 Poland Surrenders after 2 weeks, and Germany cedes Eastern Poland to Russia. With the world in uproar, France and the UK declare war on Germany. India, Egypt, Canada, and the British African colonies follow suit and declare war on the Axis. Axis subs are succesful in disrupting Allied convoy lanes from Canada, India and British Africa, and the game of Cat and mouse begins. The Italian East Africa and the DOAK have begun invading British Somaliland, with much success, but the Somaliland Militia is yet to surrender. Along the Maginot line it is France on the attack, while Germany quietly waits for it's Forces to return from Poland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy131313 Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 January 31, 1940 The border clash with France continues with no losses to either side. Germany is biding it's time to bulk up for it's big spring offensive. Germany has had no luck developing any anti-tank weaponry and France has at least Heavy Tanks-1, and has showed air superiority thus far, whether though experience or luck. Axis subs continue their domination of the Atlantic convoy lanes, avoding any contact with Allied hunters. Germany's declaration of uncoditional submarine warfare did not boast well with the USA. In Africa, the DOAK has conquered British Somaliland and have turned their offense to the Italian-Sudan border where they are battling Haille Selassie and his forces. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy131313 Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 April 10, 1940 Franco's Spain joins the Axis, and will participate in the planned invasion of France. Germany has now secured supply shipments from both Sweden and Norway, which will be a critical resource boost through the summer months. Axis airforces have been grounded, and are being remodelled to counter France's air superiority. Advanced Aircraft-1 and Long Range Aircraft-1 technology may be enough to make a difference. Italy has strengthened it's forces at Tobruk, however the Italian armies continue to be severely depleted of man power throughout it's home country. It may be quite some time before their Navy is battle ready. A recent advance in Industrial technology, and Spain's decision to join the Axis will aid in their preparations for major war. In East Africa, Haille Selassie narrowly escapes via rail, after his forces were mostly defeated. The DOAK now turn their attention to the British colonial town of Malaki. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arado234 Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Crispy are you playing the A.I.?If so how did it react to Spain joining the Bad guys? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy131313 Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 Yes I am playing the AI (50% +1 experience). In response to Spain joining the bad guys, the USA transferred Naval Assets from the Pacific (Carrier, Battleship, Cruiser, Destroyer), all of which are experienced units. I defogged the map to be positive if they did, because I didn't remember the pop-up. I'm not sure if there were any diplomatic effects. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy131313 Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 June 5, 1940 The early week of Fall Gelb was a huge success. Netherlands and Belgium have both surrendered to German occupation. Belgium's African colonies now are under the control of the UK. 3 French Armies were completely destroyed as the Germany stomed towards France's border. France continues air superiority however, as German fighters take heavily losses. The Spanish 1st and 2nd armies have captured Bordeaux, but their march through the rear of France is no longer a surprise, and the French pilots are within striking range. French battleships have begun attacking the coast of Spain, both in the Atlantic and the Mediterannean, making any Italian Amphibious movement to the rear of France too risky to attempt. Italy continues to try to mobilize for their French invasion, but it appears the battle for France will be nearly completely up to the Germans. In the Atlantic, Axis submarines make first contact with a French destroyer, as they have taken residence along the coast of the Spanish Sahara. In East Africa, Malaki is surrounded, and surrender seems near. Meanwhile, Russia annexes the Baltic states. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy131313 Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 June 19, 1940 France will be no walk in the park. German aircraft have revealed that France has upgraded to infantry weapons-2 and Heavy Tanks-2. Both ahead of German technology. Germany has yet to develop any anti-tank weaponry, and France appears to have Germany's armour outnumbered by atleast 3 to 1. These French advancements are a huge worry, as it seems now, Operation Seelowe's calendar date may be in jeaporady. Germany air knocked out 1 French artillery crew, a huge tactical gain. On the ground Germany has been forced into a defensive style border clash, as Germany awaits an oppurtune moment to move across Belgian borders into French territory. Spain's armies rest near Bordeaux, as Franco and his Armor catch up. There has been little resistance against Spain's invasion thus far, but the Spanish must be careful not to go near the constantly bombarded coastline. Norway, who has leaned towards the axis ever since Germany assured the nation that there would be no altercations resutling from the Altmark incident, has joined the Axis! It East Africa, the British colonial town of Malaki surrenders, and the Italian East African' troops and the DOAK are regrouping. The Kenyan city of Nairobi, and it's rich oil resources are the DOAK's next target. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy131313 Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 July 10, 1940 French tanks reach the front lines of the French/Belgian border and the German 2nd Army is destroyed. All is not bleak however, as German aircraft finally take control of the skies, knocking out 2 of the 4 visible French tank groups, which will surely soften up France's border defense. German's counter attack results in Germany's first gain's of French territory. Spain captures another small town, but is now involved in ground conflicts with french troops, creating a sucessful diversion. French Battleships continue to shell Spain's coast, while French ground troops attack Tangier. Romania inches closer to the Axis, as Russia annexes Bessarbaria. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy131313 Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 July 31, 1940 German forces have finally succeed in storming into France. With French fighters apparently grounded, the German airforce have defeated the remaining tanks defending the French border. The french have formed a last line of defense before Paris, building fortifications around Rheims. The French Maginot line remains heavily fortified. Operation Seelowe, planned for early september may still be possible. From the rear, Franco continues to push onward into France. The 1st and 2nd Spanish armies have now captured Nantes, Orleans, and Falaise destroying France's 5th and hopefully last Tank group and a defending corps en route. They seem to be favourite targets of France's tactical bombers. Spanish infantry at Tangiers continue to defend against French forces. The Italian East African campaign is unfortunately losing momentum, while the DOAK await motorization from Germany. Italy prepares for war. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
