Late Sept 1940 West: Shifting air units to the coast of Norway Germany spots a line of RN ships blockading our shiping lanes. The call goes out, sink the Bismark..err I mean the Royal Navy. Second battle of the Jutland happens with 3 CA and one BB sinking. As a side bonus 1 FF BB is sunk next to London. The raiding Korps in UK attacks the port again for minor damage on the CA. All others: Quiet Italy diplo hit on Greece UK diplo hit on USSR

Mid Sept 1940 West: German Korps lands on the east coast of UK, only to find the port she was attacking to have a CA docked. Korps attacks CA for 3 damage but can not take the port. In Norway the King finally tells his troops to put down arms. In the North Sea the RN sinks two transports but gets counter attacked by German Ships and lose's one CA. Spy reports are that the RN might be in strength by Norway. Ship movements follow up with that information. All other fronts: Quiet

Sept 1st 1940 West: VICTORY! Axis para units drop on Norway and capture the king. Sadly the country fights on as units in the north refuse to surrender. Germany tries to send in Korps units but they are ambushed by UK ships on the coast. All else quiet.

Augest 25th 1940 Eroupe: All is quiet, with the just rule of Germany over all of the land except the foolish english; eroupe moves to a new level of productivity!

Augest 18th 1940 West: UK pulls all units that can be spoted back out of range of German Air. Med: Itlian troops land on Crypres and take the main port and City with a lighting attack. Alantic: Quiet East: A diplo hit on a country thats gone!

Augest 11 1940 West: More movement by German units in France. The Battle for the english air begins. Five German air strike unexpectedly against a Scout UK unit left near the coast.. and it is destroyed! Alantic: Raiding by german subs, no more raiding by UK on Norway ore shipments. Sweden starts to believe germany is going to win and sides more with her (29% act)

Early Augest 1940 (TPC) West: Quiet as German units move to the coast or rest up from the fight in France. Italy has joined the Axis and starts to rattle her saber. Alantic: Minor raiding by Axis All else quiet

Go PBEM, speed of the game is a non-issue. In fact I'm looking for a PBEM parter for this game, required however that I play Allies.

July 28th 1940 (last two turns were just finishing off french units) West: Only Paris stands with a low moral armored units hiding in the city. Heavy Air raids reduce the units ability to fight then two Korps with L2 AT and one Armored units assult the city taking the famed 'City of Lights' with minimal damage. The rest of the german Host moves to the port citys in France or the Low Countrys while many units rest and refit if they can. While the battle for Paris in underway advance units take the Fortress of Cherbourg without a fight and it looks like all the Citys on the Bay of Biscay are empty of Allied units. All Others: Quiet

good luck Gavrok in getting a player. And best of wish's on your game.

July 7th 1940 East/Med/Alantic: All Quiet (USSR take Litiuina) West: Germany pushs 6 armys, one Armor and one para unit into France from Belgium. HQs and Air rush to the gap to enter and claim part of the glory. Units on the Fr GR border continue to fight and take another French Fort. Metz is encircled (one crops one army). Lille is cut off from Paris... it looks like a hopeless situation for France. Where is the BEF... no aid from UK means a fast and easy victory for Germany.

Around 150 at the wars end if I remember right. Smaller and less range then the 'fleet' US or Ger subs.

June 30 1940 The weather finally clears in Eroupe and the German Host moves forward. East: Quiet, Romaninan troops move around. Diplo hit on Bulgaria (axis) and USSR (allies) Med: Quiet Alantic: Sub raiding by UK on Norway ore shipments. Raiding by GR subs on Canadian food barges. West: Opening of Blitz warfare is a conbined arms attack (Armys, Armor, Air and Para) on the French units south of Bruxelles. A huge hole (2hex wide) is blow in the line and fast Korps unit races south to widen the gap. On the Ger/Fra border two hexs of French forts are taken from units moveing WEST out of Belgium. Looks like the frogs forgot to defend thier rear! The German Army now has 5HQs, 5 Air and many other units trying to push into the two gaps in the Frogs broken lines. Itilian air is spying on the south and east parts of France and gathering intel on where reserve units are hiding. Note: French fort at 143/45 turned German. I think they are ment to go 'boom' when they change hands? The mud or ZoC or mix seamed bugged.. or the hex I was entering is shown wrong, or I'm wrong. A units with 4AP could not move forward into a controled clear hex (river wrong side) in mud with ZOC. Hex was 140/45 [ February 14, 2007, 03:58 PM: Message edited by: Iron Ranger ]

June 2 1940 East: Quiet, Romainian's are moving around testing thier new power as a axis host member Med: Quiet, Italy still planing her long term goals. Alantic: Minor Raiding West: DOW on Belguim even though its mud... counter taken easy with IW2 HT2 plus more goodies... all the waiting allowed Germany to max tech her main combat units. Now we sit looking at France and hoping she gets mub and us clear next turn. I personally dont mind the long turns of mub and expected cold in USSR. Yes having only one weather zone for close to the entire map should be adjusted. Everything else too soon to judge. Note:Hex 138/43 seams wrong... its a sea hex that clearly shows Bulgium control. Yet UK ships can shell my units in Netherlands... shooting over Neurtal Bulgium farms... THUS we DOW them semi frogs! [ February 13, 2007, 08:30 PM: Message edited by: Iron Ranger ]

Looking to play a game of this mod PBEM. I would be Allies (Axis in my other PBEM game). Will try to get you one turn per day & expect to continue the game to close to the end (not just the turning point) unless we find if very flawed. Post here if your interested.

Where is the Railhead option? I cant seam to find it.

April 40' West: Several turns of mud has the German army woundering if the Lord is not with them. Quiet everywhere else.

March 40' Everywhere: Quiet, a long cold winter has everyone inside testing thier new toys.

Jan 39" East: Romainia sells oil to german and joins the good guys... cost 3 chits but was worth it getting her this early (direct connection to Berlin on this map) West: Some naval movement but all else is quiet Alanitc: Raiding by UK subs on Norway convoys. Med: Quiet

Dec 39' France: Quiet Low Countrys: Belguim is free but is spotting a huge german army on her border.. Netherlands has seen the light and joined her germanic roots Denmark: The entire country AND the sea lines are controled by German.. finally! Three French CNs are afloat in the Baltic but they are short on fuel and strenght Med: Quiet Alantic: Raiding my UK on Norway convoys and Germany on Canadian ships.

Late Nov 39' Weather breaks! A late summer sun shine's through and the gray host moves forward. West: Neatherlands takes a huge pounding loseing all units except the corps in the capital. Massive movement of armys through the dikes and rivers of the low lands. France: more and more dirt digging Note: The Denmark port is bugged - if you hold the city and the port is for the other side but you dont move a unit near the port you will not gain control of that hex.

Nov 39' West: The German army is bogged down in Netherlands... mub, rivers and ZoC means it imp to move units forward. France: All the French Raiders are destroyed at little cost. The German rail system was busy in Oct but all for the better as they got some much needed training in moveing troops east/west (Inf tech bump) Denmark: UK CN is getting hit hard inport by ground troops (str 1). Looking like she will be sunk soon. All others Quiet

Late Oct 39' West: A full army group (6 units) invade the Netherlands....... only to find out they are faceing the same number of units. Weaker but still a problem with all the mud. UK CA is holding the port but Germany controls the rest of Denmark. France pushs' several units out of the Maginoet Line and destroy a few forts in Germany. Counter attacks by german units leave the invading French troops weak. East: All the citys are ocupied. All other area's quiet

Oct 39' East: The German army in Poland takes control on the land, refresh's its self after combat and gets ready for the next fight. Denmark: Paratroops move into Copenhagen and the King sails out on a UK BB. With the Straights of Denmark in their control the German's have traped 2 UK and 1 French Battle groups (units) in the Baltic. All others Quiet

Sept 24 39' East: Warsaw Falls, many German units are already moving west as the weather turns cold and wet. West: The Dainish HQ in the capital is destroyed by the cut off Para troops but again no one is able to move to force the goverment to give up. The port is bombed to prevent UK from using it to bring in troops as her navy has been spoted close by. The French navy is giving our lads on the W coast of Denmark a hard time but her troops stay in the concret forts on the border. Alantic: Nothing Med: Quiet
