Nov 1943
West: UK is slowly advancing from Brest, with most of the US forces in Algeria its slow going.
Med: UK is out side of Triploi, major navy/air battles around Sicily and this port. Italy loses two BBs and the VF BC. All the Itialian air and half the german air are pushing the US forces down the boot - poor supply is a bitch.
East: Major German retreat this time, I could hear the trains running day and night. But the respnce from Russia is slow as she's been bleed pink and still has a poor air force (germany now at L3)
Allied earning 825 MPPs

Augest 43
Med: USA moving east in Libay and slowly taking Itialian coastal citys. UK moving west and in sight of Triploi.
West: All raiders dead but a strong foothold by Breast - just a few more turns of tech and units and France is mine
East: Russia retreat back behind the Volga but puts enough pressure to make sure the Axis can leave. Finland is a joke - we both have HQs and Armys up there but no air so its a stailemate.
Germany Jets L2 Italy L1 UK L3 USA L1 USSR 0

June 1943
East: Russia final breaks the Axis hold on central russia with a corps 'swing' attack around the german center 2 army group. A mass of 5 corps head out of Lenningrad and Rosvoa (?) to force German Armor away from Moscow - The red army is bleeding but alive (can't say the same for the red air).
Med: UK fleet in the east almost sink one of the VF ship and force back the Itialian Raid on Alexendrea. USA takes the western City in Libia and the Itialian CIty in the 'boot', exellent 'ranger raid'.
West: UK takes Brest and forces the germany corps away from the coast. A raiding corps takes Hamburg and digs in for a long fight.
Germany is sitting on 1000 MPPs what is he doing?
-
East: Germans are on the move again. Killing corps outside of Moscow and nothing Russia can do about it. Iraq plunder has been used to purchase armys in the hope of couter attacking. Slow progress in Finland. Three turns I've recived Partiasns in Russia, a good sign
West: UK bombing ports - with the fleet supporting the Algerian operation this is the quiet front.
Med: I hold both ends - lets see If USA can take Libia. Spain is holding out with help from Canada.
-
Sept 42
Med: Portuagal Invaded and taken by Allies. Iraq attacked but survives capital being surrounded. USA takes Algeria and moves UK fleet off Malta and sending in the US 1st corp.
West : Quiet as UK fleet is used in taking Portuagal.
East: Heavy fighting between Leningrad and Moscow, each side is losing units. In the south each side has withdrawn and can't even see each other.
-
East: More battles around Moscow and in Finland. Germany loses a corps and Army - no other troops visable - they've all headed west.
Med: A poor landing against VF. USA is playing the price for not taking Algeria in one turn. Itlay now has a 'true' fleet in the med - 5 ships (both VF survive heavy attack)
West: One sub sunk. Brest giving a two turn releif.
-
East: More battles around Moscow, I lose an Army and a very damaged tank, minor defensvie hits in return. Three armys up in Finland kill another unit. Germany making a push on the Fortress in the south
West: Continue hitting Brest
Med: more movement, retreating by axis mainly.
-
Iron as Allies - Jon as Axis: now there is someting you don't see everyday.
First two turns
West: Irland falls, subs raiding but I can't find them. UK starts bombing Brest
Med: lots of movement, no combat - Axis retreating from egypt without fighting
East: Major combat around Moscow - both side lose one armor. Minor combat in Nor and Sou - 2 Red armys lost for 1 Minor army

My plan was to head out to SD for 5 days of bird hunting this weekend but that might get canceled if so this weekend will be good, other with we will have to wait for next Sat morning.IronRanger --- Lets play, when? Name it. Get ICQ or something. How about Yahoo.messenger? -
Bahh - we have a game in progress (1 month old by now), schedule a time with me to finish that first!
-
Send me a note on what side you want FF - I played axis last time so would prefer Allies.
-
Game one down - three (?) to go. I think I've e-mailed everybody in my group, if any of you are open to setting a game time please post here or drop me a line. Wed or Thur mornings are best, this weekend is still up in the air.
-
Thanks for the mini AAR
-
Go dig up some trouble Les, I've got your back!
-
Nice job Zapp, I would love to join but I'm already in the Fall Blue turny and only have so much free time. Good luck with the games, let the luckest player win!
-
e-mail above for my group. drop me a line and lets schedule a game time.
-
Yup, great minds think alike - This is by far the most balaced senerio with of the 'starting' six. I've been pushing/playing it for several months and have enjoyed every game.fall blau..in the PL...it´s a really balanced gameNote: this in the opening 2-3 moves you need to set a plan and GO. Here will normally be alot of combat right away and if your not ready you'll be hurt from the get go.
Sign me up - IP only.

LMFA - ROTF - LOLIron just ICQ me ...arghh just forgot you have problems with it... hehe....but your email works.
You said a mouthfull, in any language. One new (and rarely on subject, thats not a bad thing) post per day. Little to no IP (CT, CC, Bon, O2003 and I are about the only posters, just on a whim for the most part), your right, too bad I'm so limited on time, I could use a refresher in German and playing in the pl would be a good start. Ahhh well, back to my PBEM games, not as much fun as IP but very time convenent.I don´t say goodbye but on the other hand there is hardly a reason to stay.You should try my new House Rules, they create a very historical game but keep your option open and the game balanced (pro-Allies?)
-
Are you saying 'good bye' here? And Fuc* IQC, what I really need to do is reinstall my OS - hmmm I'll do that this spring after my real life gets back on track......i wish you a lot of fun till SC2 -
I'll try to be short -
General guideline to learning SC
1) Play the AI
2) Read the Stratgy Guide as SC HQ
3) Read the sticky 'for new players'
4) Play a few IP games, do it as UK and watch the german moves closely - Never Conceade till Russia has been attacked
5) Ask questions, specifily during your IP games
After 2-20 IP games you will have a good handle on most of the in's and out's of the game specifics - time for serious play.
6) Play PBEM games if you wish, I would suggest to keep it under 5 as they becoume hard to 'control' unless your playing the same side and operational plan in each.
7) As you come up with detailed questions, run a search first as most subjects have been covered in detail by now.

Read some of the AARs
What you do after France depends on what you did before France. But some basic ideas
1) Prevent Sealion
2) Look of opertunitys to train your fleet (attack areas were axis has no air fleets, use intl reports)
3) Get some chits into tech
4) Gaurd Egypt (its going to fall but you need to delay the axis somewhere, somehow)
5) Save and repair so that starting the 2-3 turns before the attack on Russia you can start hitting western eroupe hard (or the med) as Germnay will be forcused on Russia.

OK, I confess. I downloaded this cheat program 79 times, one for each computer at work and home. Its kind of like IQC for me, I can download it and get it to work for a few seconds but then everything frezzes (Thats why people who play me have to reload several times per 12 hour secision). I did get a look at the download profile and you would be surprised who the other 6 downloads were - Moon, Mad Matt, a Mr H, Jon, Yoda, and Air King. I'm not sure who these guys are but if you see them in the oppoient finder forum, watch out!84 downloads

Winter 43
East - Russia pushing forward with little combat, looks like germany pulled all its air out and left the tank in Defence of the central citys. Not enought german units to make a line to russia corps advace where they can.
West - UK destroys the german unit in paris but can't advance any farther.
Med - US corps pushs right up to Tripoli but gets destoyed by landing Axis units. Seven Axis air now working in the med to Allied 5 - I'm on the defensive.
