IrishGuards

AAR and outcome. Irish Guards defeats Hueristic. Suffice to say it was a good match. Ger invaded and took Low Countries on turn 2. Poland and Den fell on turn 4. this led to the Italian entry jumping 25% in 1 turn as the allies in the Med set up to take out italy. His time table was ruined as italy was now 100% and coming in if he did not invade immediately. the 2 brit corps only landed and the french were allready hurting in europe. After Allies invaded Italy, most of it was taken back by Italy. Major fleet losses on both sides. Ger kept up the pressure, took france and then next turn started dropping italins into britain. Allies were stretched and Ger had 12 units in Britain in 2 turns, Brit fell in Oct40 russian entry was 40% and the Americans just declared war. Good game, some very strange situations on both sides and some very bad luck on turn 1 for the allies hunting the Uboats, both BB and CR suprised and hit for 5 each. Nor Sea became a bloodbath when the Ger fleet sortied and caught the brit fleet N of Den, 1 BB destroyed and another a 5. Looking forward to playing Hubert, and now some ladder play. all in all very enjoyable ....!!!!

Erin ga bragh :mad: Sign me in pls

Nay forget this wee lads, tis my Island.

Was that the airborne assault at Kanev or another battle...?? :confused:

I believe that the Japanese used para to take out the oil fields on NBorneo (balipakken) (NEI} and then went on to take out the oil on sumutra. I think this was in conjunctiobn w other marine divs ..!! which landed but considering the distance and logistics then this i would call Strategic. Ill check it out forthwith.

And what about when you went in and just changed the file name 3 times .. I notice how you leave these small things out .. Just telling it like it is and who is whining ... lol ... lmao .... I knew that you were cheating at that time and you know it also .. when I challenged you to another game with no ..!!! changing of the file names .. what was your reply ... more whining about how confused you were .. to many games ... can't keep them organized boo hoo... wah wah ...!!!! my name is b_j_ramhim What don't you understand about do not change the file name ... and we are not just talking .sav here .. 3 times before that .. and it was 1.05 moron Would you like me to post the emails that you sent me so all will know exactly what kind of crack head you are .. or you know what, they all know allready ..

Well its the truth and thats for sure .. It was me .. first he said not to send it to his yahoo acct .. then i sent it to his other email acct and had to stop the game 3 times first he changed the file then when I called him on that he changed it to .sav .sav then I posted that I was willing to play him again and I guess that he can't be bothered very curious .. seems to revel in what he says and no one else .. maybe he should be german all the time .. sounds like a meglo to me ah i think your new name will be b_J_ramhim .. sounds more like what it actually is .. I never heard someone whine so much on 1 hand ( left or right ) and then laud hisself the rest of the time I don't think that he be all there .. nay the sharoest stick in the drawer .. or maybe I should not say .. he will probably think I mean

im in

Spain will enter for Axis if the Uk attacks and takes tripoli on occasion, such as in early 1940 Only ever happened once that I remember in my games

Yep I understand all that ... means that the UK had to attack these ports.. fleets .. Oran and Mers .. i take this to mean that the fleets were free french and not allied ... they were definetly not co-ordinating in any strategy Allied attacks were met with the escape of the remnants .. namely the BC Strasbourg and CVL Comm Teste sailed to Toulon w other units the other units were sunk .. BB BC ... goes to show you that out of how many ships .. not many were under allied command the 2 best BB Rich and Jean were attacked again and damaged, could not be repaired. production was nil for Vichy not the 3 territories .. alg syr and metro .. they should not start with full production if attacked ... they should still follow the game I dont think that if you vichy france and then the next turn attack, they should have the possibility of even increasing their fleet .. also if the ports are going to remain french so to speak ... why do they not revert to the game status of being conquered ... starting off at 0 and then recouping their status as ports for supply and trans .. this would mean any fleet in the port remain there .. especially damaged units algeria is taken by Italy before france is conquered .. the Italians should stay in place.. not go back to tripoli seems strange the way ports are placed .. dak and mers are not on board ... yet other units were totally anti-brit and sailed to either Vichy ports or interned in the US .. later after diplomatic relations prevailed still they were not all allied and even if they are the 2 Vichy fleets that come on are the only fleet builds where the keels were laid before the start of the war ... only fleet reinforcements in the game seems strange that its detrimental for ger to vichy france .. plunder aside .. If the french only get supply from their ports then sooner or later if you own them all ... then where do they draw supply from ... Russia does not even draw supply as well

What makes the french fleet go to the allies and when they do why does it seem that they all go free french/allied. Damage, position on board, also it seems unlikely that when all 4 go free french into allied hands, when and if ger/It attack vichy where do the 2 fleet units come from that are now in Vichy territory ..? That make 6 total 10 factor fleets and compared to the british at start forces of 8 10 factor fleets.. seems very strange that the reason the germans let the french go vichy was so they would have a country and government and that the fleet did not fall into allied hands ....? Thoughts :confused:

Sir, great thoughts, but what I am seeing now from the allied player is the DOW on Low countries on turn 3. As is not only do the allies get to choose the brits to take brussels, since they attack with only 1 corp and the majority of attackers co-ordinating are french. What detriment is there besides Italy coming in a bit quicker and the americans being slowed. Plunder goes to UK for hq and then the brit air force goes into attack mode. Russia is not affected at all and the french are laughing at you. It seems that the set-up of minors to alter who is actually attacking them is key. Also if this is the allied political position it would have huge ramifications to the other minors in the game. Yugo, Spain, as the examples. Uk units sitting off the coast waiting for the Axis to attack Norway. And through all this the minors do not react. Later actions by the allies to take all minors for virtually nothing, Ireland, Portugal and even Spain though tougher is still possible. :eek: UK air attacks GER targets right through a neutral Low countries with carrier support on turn 2 to compound the irony, and any air defence for Ger is lacking the HQ Von Leeb which should be on the western front. All in all a horrible situation which would never have occured seeing as the maginot armies were not mobile compared to the armies defending the Low countries border, and the co-operation of the french and brits. If Ger has not taken out Den by this time the initiative is fully with the allies. Reagrds Michael Anderson

Without going into alot of brits and french units can and can't do this or that, sub patrols etc... You should be able to configure it so that your sub,s movement is the key. You want to be spotted easily use full movement on the surface. You want to submerge then you only get half move and are spotted from 1 hex not 2. That way you get the realism of what the sub,s do and the brit and french fleet can still move about as they like, maybe fleet wants to do ASW then decrease their movement by a certain percentage to show their not moving at full speed and they are searching... thoughts Irish Guards
