September 1, 1941: Iraq surrenders. Allies abandon Bordeaux. Sea blockade of Tobruk.

August 4, 1941: France still alive. With only 2 airfleets it is very difficult to kill the corps in Paris... Allied landing forces left Tobruk and moved to Iraq. All UK ships retreated. A UK carrier tried to kill a strength 1 army near Paris a second time, again without success. Battles with german airfleets. [ June 26, 2003, 04:57 PM: Message edited by: Terif ]

July 7, 1941: French mine reoccupied and Manstein Hq reduced to strength 6. UK corps retreat to ports, 4 french corps defend Paris (fully entrenched). Italy: German air attack UK carrier, now 3 german airfleets in southern Italy near Bari. French ships sink an italian cruiser, one french lost. Allies land in Africa and take Tripolitania.

June 23, 1941: Naval and air battle in Italy. Italian sub destroyed, 2 other ships damaged. Italy operates the second african army to Tobruk to block allied transports. So it is not possible to land with 2 army and 2 corps transports. German airfleet operated to Italy. The two cut off french units in the Maginot line move into Germany and attack a Hq.

June 9, 1940: German tanks reach the outskirts of Paris. Allies declare war to Iraq and take the oilfields. Italy joins now.

Allies turn 5: Last atlantic sub sunk. Warsaw and 3 units still survives, russian readiness starts increasing... 5 axis units + Hq is not enough for Poland.

Turn 3 Allies: Ireland surrendered. Both german subs found in the northwest. Still 5 polish units alive, protecting Warsaw. Germany gambled and operated most units west, perhaps too much...

Too many axis transports in the ocean... 2 italian units + Hq landed in Canada and took the capital. In a last battle in the Urals another german tank got killed together with a corps. Not much russians left now... So Allies surrendered August 9, 1942.

Turn 1 Allies: Allies attack Ireland. Same procedure...

July 26, 1942: Naval battles near USA and Canada. First landing in the USA. Mine taken, US airfleet attacked by corps. No trench warfare any more in the north of Russia !! For killing the 2 tanks, Russia removed its front units. Now german tanks can use their speed and agility to move around in northern Russia, cutting off enemy units and attacking Hqs. 2 russian Hqs destroyed by tanks and airfleets (now at LR Lv3).

July 12, 1942: Axis forces break through near Moskov. German tanks move around the russian front units,attack a russian Hq near Urals and try to cut the front off from supply. Heavy battles in LC. USA reached Lv1 anti-tank, UK Lv2 jets. In the USA a dozen transports are along the coast or approaching.. One UK battleship sunk by an italian task force. US air operates back to defend their homeland. [ June 26, 2003, 01:16 PM: Message edited by: Terif ]

June 28, 1942: The airfleet in Calais is immediately attacked by a german corps. The landing forces are surrounded by a double row of corps now . 2 german airfleets also intervene in the battle. Meanwhile a huge landing armada arrived in the USA. Army and corps transports are standing along the US coast. In Russia another german army and a corps are lost. But Russia has to pay a high price... Russian scientists are working very hard (perhaps because they fear of their lives ): Russia reached Lv4 anti-tank.

June 16, 1942: Finally Allies land in Brussel. 3 armies, 1 corps and a US Hq. One army is destroyed by Axis forces. Hq under attack. In Russia heavy battles... german army and a lot of russian units destroyed. Kharkov conquered. Leningrad surrounded and cut off. Russians have Lv3 anti-tank now. German rockets move into position...

April 19, 1942: Axis forces move around Smolensk deep into enemy territory to cut off the russian front line from supply. Smolensk captured. Moskov under attack, Siberians will arrive next turn. US transports move east and want to land in LC and Germany now. Still no successful landing.

March 22, 1942: Riga captured with massive airstrikes. German units break through between Smolensk and Kharkov and own a 3 hex wide corridor. Now Russia is divided into a north and south front. In the west 6 allied airfleets and 3 carriers are poucing at german and italian corps. They kill one corps per turn, but cant clear the way for landing forces. Only airfleets cant win a war, they are too weak for this...

February 8, 1942: Russia is very aggressive. German tank survived with strength 2. An attacking russian tank is destroyed immediately and the mine occupied. Zhukov Hq surprised near Smolensk as german units break through and attacked by german armies and corps: reduced to strength 5. Russia is successful at research: they reached Lv2 anti-tank. Germany researched Lv2 jets.

December 14, 1941: The battle continues.. UK battleship destroyed by italians at Brest. Minsk captured, but after the heavy fights there, the tank that moved in is only at strength 4 now... perhaps it will be reconquered by Russia next turn.

November 16, 1941: Russian forces supported by Zhukov kill the leading tank near Minsk and close the gap. Germans conquer Kiev. 3 italian ships lost in the battle at Brest, also high casualties for Allied air and naval units, but no losses. Time to repair...

October 19, 1941: Odessa captured. Russia tries to establish a line Riga-Sewastopol. Germany breaks through with 3 tanks at Minsk. Italian navy is called to battle. They sink a cruiser and a corps transport at Brest. No allied landings on the continent so far. Yugoslavia and Iraq surrendered, Greece will loose the last units next turn and surrender.

Oak: It was possible because there were no real airfights in France until it surrendered (only one, when he attacked ships) and Allies got Ireland (300-400mpp) + rescued 3 free french armies, that were used in Norway (+1 canadian army). [ June 26, 2003, 08:38 AM: Message edited by: Terif ]

September 21, 1941: The great war has begun: Axis declares war to Greece, Iraq and Russia. Yugoslavia couped one turn ago. Greece and Yugoslavian capitals captured, Iraq corps destroyed, but no surrender this turn. next turn all three countries will surrender. In Russia all but one front armies are destroyed or cut off from beeing able to operate. One russian cruiser and an airfleet destroyed. Airbattles near Brest, US army transports attacked.

August 1941: US transports appear near Brest, attacked from german air, intercepted by Carriers.

Both UK and Germany have Lv1 LR and Jets now. The expensive battle for France delayed UK research a lot... usually they are expected to have at least Lv3 jets at Barbarossa.

July 6, 1941: Gibraltar is Axis now. UK carriers are training in Ireland. Preparing Barbarossa...

May 11, 1941: Spain surrenders after 2 turns (attacked after Bulgaria joined). FF corps near Tobruk destroyed, Malta occupied.
