UFC #4 Crispy (Axis) vs Rambo (Allies)


Recommended Posts

November 1940

{Europe}

Good weather holds in France so Germany DOW's Spain. We kill an army as we advance into the country with Tanks and air support.

{Med}

Casablanca seems very far to walk through the desert. British counter attacked last turn near Tobruk but have returned behind their fortress.

{China}

Corps dies in the North. We don't go full blast on Changsha this turn, so nothing accomplished in the South.

**

Both Japan and Germany have been very active on diplomacy, hits are rare but they are decisive. Even after the DOW to Denmark, Benelux, Tunisia, Algeria and Spain the USSR is 9% and USA 18%.

[Europe] Yes, Spain is invaded, not much I can for defense here. Pray, then die in a few turns.

[Atlantic] Where's his fleet? Well, he has a couple Cruisers near Bordeaux & subs sailing thur the English Channel, figure that out.

[Africa] Nothing major. Yes, I have Rick's Cafe in Casablanca. Yes, I have the fortress & Egypt. He has terrorist training ground of Italians to the South. Axis also raids South African port.

[China] Winter, we make babies.

Crispy has raiders hitting my shipping in Africa & maybe the Indian Ocean. Kriegsmarine hanging in the Channel, Brest, Spain. Axis will take Spain next turn, didn't bother to reinforce or even move them. Casablanca & Egypt has no action, we have DMZ in those areas, for now.

China is nothing major, he's working over the Northern corridor, hex-by-hex with a nice size outfit. Doesn't feel like he's putting new MMPs into units for the conquest of China, thus it's safe to guess the Japs are preparing for other parts of the Rim.

February 1940

{Europe}

Spain surrenders in the rain after a pounding from German Tanks. Bulgaria joins the Axis, I guess they weren't too mad about Spain after all?

{Med}

Some pings against the Gibraltar corps that sailed to Casablanca, no damage. I'm guessing it's the BEF that sailed from Bordeaux that is in Gibraltar.

{Atlantic}

The Graf Spree continues to harass the South African port.

{China}

Yenan falls after a large attack from land and Sea. A sizeable Chinese force hides behind the river on the path to Nanning. We take the turn totally off in the South. The Chinese can safely celebrate the new years in Changsha.

**

The Americans are being spoon fed by Axis diplomats, they move further from the war (12%). We have invested a LARGE amount of MPP's for a long time. We are only now starting to get some luck.

{Europe}

We'll soon find out just how far away the Royal Navy is. Operation Seelowe is taking form, as Germans hit the waters of the English Channel.

{Med}

We capture the vacant Casablanca.

{China}

Horrid turn. We accomplish nothing but kill some of our experienced soliders.

March 16th, 1941

{Seelowe}

Germans make their landing around London, Leeb is in control of 2 Army's and a corps. Lots of Air support from Belgium and France, we knock out all entrenchment in London, the defending unit the 7th Armour is reduced to 7. In the sea we knock out a number of Allied ships, lost count but a couple BB's for sure and some DD's hurt or killed. No German naval casualties yet, but that may be because the Carrier's didn't show up. Lots of new British units pop up over Britain.

{Gibraltar}

German Paras fly across the Med to fight for Gibraltar, Axis tanks takes a ping and retreats to Madrid. Italian surface fleets smash on the fortress and port.

{Sea}

East Italian Destroyer finds Rhodesia corps trying to sail around South Africa, worth 2 hits.

{China}

The chinese in the mountains are proving very difficult. We order our troops to make their way past Lanchow. If they want to fight in the mountains we'll just walk by.

***

USA is furious over Seelowe. Stalin, well he took another dip into Hitler's pocket.

March 1941

Nice action in the game. British reinforce Tank in London to strength-10. It rains on my turn, so no RAF or Carrier action. Yes, we did lose 2-BB & 1-DD....and couple DD slightly damaged. We did equal MMP damage to the enemy ships, so it's basically an exchange. Reinforcements do pop-up. Royal Navy backs off, no hurry.

British attack towards Tobruk in Egypt. Tank + Corp + Army. We hit an Italian Army rather hard, he's down to strength-3, I take minor damage.

Austrialian naval attack Italian ship near South Africa, minor pops.

Chinese counter on all fronts. Doing damage some Japs. Langkow is reinforced with 2-new Corps, we place them in front of the city in case the Axis got some mega-tricky power move.....need blockers. Yes, we are strong in the mountains, fortresses, and of course me leading the troops.

If there's an football gamblers out there, I like Iowa -7.

{Seelowe}

Rain again over France and Britain grounds the entire Luftwaffe. We make our move anyways, Both Army's near London attack, Tanks make their landing known and destroy the 7th Armour to seize London. We have a foot hold on the Island now.

{Med}

Italian Army counters the Allied attack from Egypt smashing the W.D.F Army down to 4. We will make a stand at Tobruk. Gibraltar supply is down to 2 after Italian Navy smashes the fortress again.

{China}

Dead corps near Lanchow. We severely weaken an army near Sian. Bombers start to hit Changsha, my achilles heal.

***

Both USA and USSR not pleased about London falling. Hopefully Rambo can update on what happened there at end turn. Yugoslavia Joins the Axis.

April 1941

[England] Covered in rain, we move in Canadian forces to the Island to face the Axis powers. Royal Air & Navy do not show themselves in the bad weather.

[Gibralter] When Carriers strike back. Three British CV's sink Italian BB, and CR which were pinging on The Rock. Not in the mood for dealing with two navies just yet. BEF holds the rock with strength-6, x6 entrenchments against German paratroops.

[Egypt] British Armor do 5:0 damage to Italian Army piece, then we go back to the fortress. Support infantry SF-Africa, Corp-British, and damage Army stay in front.

[High Seas] Transport runs into German U-boat in South Atlantic, not good. Austrailian ship pings Italian-DD in South Africa.

[China] Light reinforcements needed for units to be back to strength-10. Jap carriers showing long range.

{Europe}

British corps near London dies. Axis air mucks it up over London with the Formidable Carrier from New Castle, we move our wolfpacks to surround the port while nailing the carrier down to 2. There are alot of corps clogging up the island. Manchester is guarded by Canadian Tank group.

{Med}

Rommel has arrived in Libya and takes charge of the Afrika Corps (Army +1 exp.) They immediatley are sprung into action to assist the Italians, we kill a british corps, and knock the LRDG down to 2.

{Atlantic}

U-30 Submarine kills the transport in the South Atlantic but bumps into Aussie Cruiser afterwards, and takes 1 hit.

{China}

Another dead Chinese army near Sian. A corps near Lanchow takes a beating. Things are getting quieter in the South, the entrenchment warfare is not in my favour.

[England] Legend doesn't like his CV's trapped in a port by a flock of U-boats. RAF based in Scotland & Destroyers are launched this turn. Brits destroy 2-Uboats & damage another in the North Sea. In the Channel we launch more ships. Two German Cruisers are sunk, we ping Luftwaffen on the French Coast. German BB is in port of Brussells. The English Carriers which were at Gibralter last turn, have no targets. More ships are now in defense of the Island. Ground units don't move, nor attack, we dig.

Egypt, we are forced to fallback. Tank stays in the fortress. Sorry African-SF is not reinforced, MMPs aren't for them type of pieces.

Gibralter is still British, the German paratroop has walked away. Waxing those Two Italians ships chilled out that offensive. Surprised to see the paratroop there anyways, more of a SeaLion piece.

Chinese chill.

June 1941

{Europe}

The German army reinforces their position around London and brings in some fresh corps to shield the city from counter attack. Some navy action, and Axis air units get invloved dinging the large allied Navy in the English Channel. Some spread out damage overall, but a British Battleship and Cruiser sink. Paratroopers and Tank unit smash the Gibraltar corps down to 1.

{Med}

The Afrika Corps finishes off the LRDG forces retreating to Siwa. They knew they would never make it. We move Italian army to the front line infront of El Alamein.

{South Atlantic}

U-30 Sub is in trouble with Aussies all around, we do some damage and run.

{China}

Didn't try much this turn. Some damage in the North.

June 1941

We tried a couple fighter sorties from Scotland, Luftwaffen intercepts, so we take it easy. Uboat in the Channel is sunk, others sailed probably back to Kiel......there's U-boat in Brussels, Cruiser in London. We hold position on the ground, a few Naval Bombardments, his Luftwaffen can't attack all of us.

BEF-Army in Gibralter sails away, replaced by full strength African-Zulu-Corp.

Austrialians can't find Uboat on the slave coast.

Egypt, we stay in the fortress with Tank.

Chinese, stay in the trenches.

July 1940

{Europe}

Germans kill a corps near Manchester, and move an Italian corps next to the new capital and hit a weak destroyer in port. Germans are looking strong in Britain overall. We juggle our navy around, with air support from France/Belgium and sink another BB and DD. In Gibraltar we back off for a turn.

{Med}

We set up positions around El Alamein, no attacks.

{China}

Not even trying to attack Chengsha at this point. We are making noise near Lanchow instead.

British get KIA on a Corp which bravely got near Manchester to the East. Canadian tank with a little help from his friends did the trick. Allies place Corp in that position. Royal Navy stays out of the Channel, no reason to give him free ships to kill at the point. The Island is stuff with both Axis & Allied units.

No action at Gibralter or Egypt.

Chinese do attrition pops, nothing special. Japs haven't brought new units to this campaign, so he's probably preparing to wax something else.

Germans keep shipping USA/USSR with naked lady golf tees, gold, and food....they have a better chance of joining the Axis.

August 1941

{Europe}

Axis continue to advance towards Manchester, landing a very scary (lv.4) Tank group. We kill a corps, smash another down to 2. German corps moves adjacent to Manchester. Bristol's supply bombed heavily down to 0 supply. The result is half of the British infantry is a hex away from being cut off completely.

{Med}

Italian infantry attack the entrenched 7th armoured at El Alamein, maybe not wise but we might as well stretch the British MPP's.

{China}

More corps pounding near Lanchow. Chinese air is attacking from Yumen. Quiet elsewhere. No doubt Rambo is seeing Japanese activity in the Pacific.

British leave the Island. There's nothing I can do against Tanks +4, super fighter experience, etc. I will save my units for another day. Axis have great technology, get Diplo hits. Allies have gotten nothing. No point sitting there as cannon fodder.

Chinese do what Chinese do. Dig, make babies, and make cheap toys.

{Europe}

The British forces can't evecauate the island fast enough. The Canadian Tank group in Manchester, and british corps in Bristol killed, an Allied minor corps trapped on the coast will die soon. There is still one city left in the North. The UK chosses to move their government to Canada.

{Med}

Rommel says no attacks on El Alamein this turn. Iraq joins the Axis.

{China}

Same old. Attacks in the north, kicking tires in the South. No kills to report.

Nah, we left the Canadians behind. Thier tank was entrenched, and only gets one attack. With no technology, no Diplo hits, no nothing.....can't do much against Tanks+4, superfighters, early minors joining, and half dozen Diplo hits on USSR/USA.

Chinese do a few pings.

The Iowa -7 football was easy money for those who didn't catch it, they won 24-3, no worries.

September 1941

{Europe}

A corps left for dead dies in Britain. We are slowly spreading the word northward that the country is now under German occupation. Tanks attack Gibraltar, air attack Gibraltar they are low on supply, strength-3. Next turn they fall. We continue to stall Barabossa.

{Med}

A few fighter attacks on HQ near Alexandria. The British airforce is in Sudan and has set their eyes on the Blackshirts in East Africa. The East Italian destroyer is still messing up their convoys.

{China}

What a mess this has turned into. We are pulling back from Lanchow, we need to reorganize and reaccess our tactics.

**

Dipolomacy gamble is paying off. I've invested nearly 2500 MPP's into diplomacy this game. That's 10 Tanks, or 5 Carriers, or 25 Corps etc.

October 1941

{Europe}

Allies abandon Gibraltar, but we forget to move in. Silly mistake. So we sit beside it and look in. German's DOW and conquer Portugal and make the USA mad. Still not build up on the USSR border.

{China}

An agressive Chinese Army dies in the near Lanchow. Overall the Chinese are going on the attack and doing well. We have actually formed a wall to stop them in the North. The South is a mess as well.
