weather.

Sept '42 More blood on the Eastern front as the the axis forces counter attack, knocking out a ATG Bde, 1 Army group and a Tank Div. Air is in place to make the difference now. All other fronts quiet with the exception of the allied bombing.

You can resup in allied ports. Egypt ports will be at 10 for ports, the others will be at 5 till the US enters the war then they go up..........at least halifax does.

Why wouldn't you be able to drive through? Its a simple military manouver, the act of penetration, envelopment or turning. If one side has intel that there is a gap between to armies/corps why not drive between them?

Sept '42 Eastern front - Russians on the move, take out 2 Pz Divs West of Odessa, city almost surrounded. GHC orders withdrawl into the mountains in Romania. In the far east Krahow (sp?) is under pressure as german troops stop advance east and swing South threatening to cut off russian advance. Med and Atlantic quiet. Main land Europe sees more allied bombing. Vichy taken by German forces. Reinforcements are the order of the day.

Russian offensive in the South. Another Eastern city in Russia falls. GHC decides to turn its attention to the South and orders the swing South by the Northern german arm. Syria taken by the Italians. Vichy unable to keep partisans in check is forced to by German forces........will fall next turn.

Jun'42 Med - Canadian DD sunk while trying to block Suez from axis AF's and Italian sub. Atlantic - quiet as Uboats refit and upgrade for further action. Russia - Intel reports russian forces are heavy entrenched from the mines east of Odessa. Looks like the main weight of the red forces are deployed to protect the rich southern part, leaving the North and Northeast cities weak. Have to adjust plan accordingly.

May '42 - U.S. prepares for war. Kept them out for this long so I'm happy. - Eastern front german forces regroup for summer offensive. - Africa Korps are knocking on the door of Cario and expect it to be opened very soon.

Dec '41 Russian front - severe blizzards hit the Oost front affecting many german outfits.........shorts and flowered shirts maybe not a great idea. Siberian's have transfered. Leningrad defenders under seige, down to 8 from a finn and german corp. Atlantic - Sub still roaming the atlantic, making there way back to friendly ports. NA - Bloody sea battle finds an Italian CA surrounded and 2 BB's retreating but not before the RN losses 2 ships. Italian sub saves the day. On land the Brits pay for taking out the german army group by lossing 2 corps and a hurt corps and army. Strong German air and tank group move in.

Late Nov '41. Russian front - Smolensk taken. Heavy fortifcations spotted around the mines in southern russia. Forces in place to take Leningrad. Atlantic - U-39 finally meets its end, a said day for the Uboat fleet and they will be missed. Prinz Eugen in a brave sortie to save the sub was sunk, went down fighting with 3 BB's damaged. NA - Clear weather and the superior AF power of the combined LW and Italians take its toll, 1 Brit army destroyed. Axis forces in very good shape. Awaiting russian winter, troops in good shape and moral, should not be costly.........shorts and flowered shirts are the order of the day.

Steve sucks.............ignore his posts!!! LOL!!!! Just kidding, he gave me a black eye in a mirrored WaW game.

Aug '41 - offensive in the East has begun. All 3 russian cities in the West from N to S are in German hands. Leningrad cut off. Seems Uncle Joe wants to keep the mines in the South as large forces are spotted there along with fortifcations. Russian CA sunk in the Baltic. NA - The rest of West Africa is taken, Casablanca remains in British hands. In the East British corps is destroyed with a combination of Air and arty fire. El Alamein fortifications destroyed. Rommel ready for his offensive. Italians lose 1 CA but the brit carrier is down to 4 and a cruiser hurt. Air will be the key in NA. Atlantic - GHC is praising the U-boat arm.........serious damage and frustration on the RN side. U-39 is slowly being hunted down with a BB seen steaming S from Brest. Norway is back on line with shippments and the Brit high command is distracted in NA.

Ewwwwwwwwww..............thats just wrong!!

Liam.........its 'DA BEARS. Get it right.

Late July '41 - axis forces in NA take a look see to the east. - Russia readiness at 80%, operation NUT CRACKER about to begin. Railroad system in the fatherland and poland are very busy. Scientist get the news and work feverishly to get new weapons to the frontline troops. - RAF bombing is being a pain, resources are covering and they are paying. - Lots of metals to go around for the U boat crews, they have done very well so far to survive this long with no sub losses.

May '41 - GHC is concerned over RAF night time bombing, measures to be taken to protect installations. - U29 has encounter mid atlantic with a CA and a DD, some damage but she escapes for the time being. - Intell reports movement in NA of British forces. Rumble in the East about to heat up. Russia at 50%.

That just sounds Soooooooooooooo wrong!!!!

Apr '41 Russia around 35% USA around 38%. Our Uboats still playing in the Atlantic and the RN admiralty can't be happy with the lack of success the RN is having trying to find them. Tunisia is taken in a combination of German and Italian amphib operation. Getting ready for the show down in the East against the bear.

Jan '41 Axis sub still running amuck in the Atlantic. 1 encounter with a DD and its down to str 6 while the sub is at 8. Still playing cat and mouse with the Brit Navy who seem to be frustrated in there attempts to hunt the sub down. With Malta in axis hands its now safe for the Italian Med fleet to have a sail about and stretch their sea legs. GHC quietly building strength while there are still serious concerns about the German scientists and just WHAT THE HECK ARE THEY DOING.............cause it ain't research on new tech..........but on the up side the beer has never tasted better. Blindfolds and early sunrises maybe the order of the day for the lot of them soon. Been interesting so far.........this should be a good game and the first one who blinks is going to lose.

LOL...........no problem!

Paris opens its doors and welcomes a German parade through the main streets. France falls May'40 LW moves assets to Denmark to aid in operation 'RED NOSE' to liberate the reindeer in Norway. Air pounds Oslo and paras pay a visit and Norway capitulates. Jun'40 Mean while the LW has been busy gaining experience softening up Malta. Med naval action has been quiet, no sign of force 'H' and the Italian navy are still polishing brass in port. **Breaking news** MALTA FALLS TO COMBINED AIR AND AMPHIB LANDINGS!! Nov'40 Time is currently early Dec '40 and the GHC is planning its further operations.

WOW..........through Swiss land..........he is a brave soul.

Weather break for the good guys..........uummmmm..........eerrrrrrrr........I mean the axis. Denmark is offered terms but do not accept.......1st Paras pay them a visit but they hang on. French BB giving a Pz Div a hard time in Brussels, U39 dispatched to diswade him. GHC gived the green light for advance into France. Recce reports strong French armour west of the maginot line and south of Paris, is this a counter attack force? GHC orders caution and has the Luffties keep an eye on it. Axis forces make there move and has a Corp knocking on the front door of Paris, many taxi's seen leaving the city in a hurry. Turn ends with rain again.

bah...........I like the 'what if' part of game play............besides.......its your strat vs. your opponents. Its what makes the game fun and unpredicatble vs. a human.

German Intel has reported to the GHC that the allies are quote **dressed up like jack frost and doing the snow dance to the gods**...........is this a new allied trick?? Weather has changed in the allied fav Dec '39, but on the up side it does give the rest of the german horse drawn infantry units a chance to play catch up.
