I think your just misunderstanding it. The Allies declared war on Iraq on turn 4, because of this, Iraq automatically joins the Axis. The Allies captured both of the mines, but failed to capture Baghdad.

HAHAHAHAHA! Your a newbie again! NOOB! NOOB! HAHAHAHAHAHA! ok, I'm done........

Continued AAR: http://s3.invisionfree.com/House_Of_Games/index.php?showtopic=79&st=0

Well, it looks like the AAR will be continued at the House of Games only. See you there.

June 9th, 1940 Paris is under siege conditions, despite this, the Canadian 1st Army launches an attack on General Rundstedt's HQ, bringing it down to 7 strength. To the north-east, RAF airfleets launch a full scale attack on a severely damaged Luftwaffe airfleet based in the Ardennes Forest. Other Luftwaffe units intercept the incoming RAF fighters and aerial dogfights ensue. Miraculously, the targeted Luftwaffe airfleet survives. RAF Spitfires engage Luftwaffe ME-109s over Northern France (painting by Robert Taylor). Italy enters at the end of the Allied turn. [ August 17, 2004, 11:47 AM: Message edited by: Comrade Trapp ]

May 12th, 1940 Paris is surrounded. The Canadian 1st Army, along with the French V corps to the south-east of Paris, dig in and await the final onslaught. They vow to fight to the death. To the east, the French I corps makes one last drive through the rear and attacks (via surprise contact) a Luftwaffe airfleet, reducing the airfleet by 1. Meanwhile, the French government orders the evacuation of French troops (including colonial units) wherever possible. French warships are also ordered to set sail for British ports. Italy is expected to enter the war in the very near future. Viva La France!

April 14th, 1940 Despite heavy losses, the French 3rd and 4th armies (assisted by RAF air support) immediately launch a stunning counter-attack against the German XVI Panzer Tank Group and destroy it in combat. A knocked out German Panzer. South-east of that, the French I Corps also launches a counter-attack against the XIX Panzer Tank Group, causing both sides to take losses. Due to the absence of a stable frontline, General Weygand's HQ was no longer an effective asset and had to be disbanded. V Corps was created south-east of Paris.

March 17th, 1940 The French Army, forced by the destruction of 2nd Army, withdraws from it's border positions and creates a new defensive line 1 hex away from Paris. A partially cutoff 1st Army breaks out and forms the extreme northern end of the new French frontline. Due to the condition of 1st Army, it is expected that the next German attack will be on our northern flank. Unfortunately, there are no extra troops available to prevent another breakthrough. All we can do is dig in and wait.

February 4th, 1940 I FAF airfleet is disbanded, it did it's job quite well, but it's manpower is now needed elsewhere. All frontline units are reinforced and General Weygand moves to a position just south of the French 2nd Army. Air reconnaissance indicates that Germany has purchased at least 2 new units. A new airfleet and a new corps are all that can be seen at this time. Current War Readiness: Italy: 75% United States: 6% Soviet Union: 34%

December 10th, 1939 Germany invades the Low Countries! Brussels falls after combined ground-air attacks ravage the city, killing thousands of innocent civilians. Minor ground attacks are made on the French 5th Army in France, they are repelled with acceptable losses. RAF and FAF fighters launch intercept missions over the Low Countries, downing countless enemy aircraft, taking minor losses in the process. RAF Spitfires engaging enemy aircraft over the Low Countries (painting by Robert Taylor). Meanwhile, British General Bernard Montgomery assumes command of all British forces in England, while French General Maxime Weygand assumes command of all French forces in Northern France. The Allies stand ready to fight their godless invader. [ August 16, 2004, 04:23 PM: Message edited by: Comrade Trapp ]

November 12th, 1939 British and French warships quickly avenge the sinking of the RN battleship HMS Nelson. Aircraft from HMS Glorious sink U-30. The French cruiser Strasbourg spots (surprise contact) German U-boats U-29 and U-30. The RN carrier HMS Glorious moves into range and sinks U-30. RN BBs Royal Oak and Rodney (assisted by the RN carrier Courageous) engage and sink U-29. Meanwhile, German forces are spotted deploying along the LC-German border, intel suggests they may attack next turn. The Canadian 1st Army arrives in Paris and begins to dig in.

October 15th, 1939 Despite heroic fighting by Polish troops, Poland surrenders. German victory parade in Warsaw. Unsurprisingly, Waffen SS units quickly begin executing Polish prisoners of war and civilians alike. A German dog executes an unarmed Polish civilian. In the west, all is quite. British and French warships continue to search for German U-boats, no contact as of yet. [ August 16, 2004, 11:42 AM: Message edited by: Comrade Trapp ]

Germany invades Poland! At 9:00 AM, Great Britain and France respond by issuing Germany an ultimatum. Germany does not reply..... Shortly after 11:00 on September 3rd, 1939, Great Britain, followed by France, declares war on Germany. Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain addressing the nation. Click here to listen to Chamberlain's speech. September 17th, 1939 Polish forces, though demoralized by the fall of Warsaw, fallback towards the Polish-Soviet border wherever possible to continue the fight against the fascist invaders, while cutoff units dig in and prepare for the final assault. In the West, Britain and France mobilize their militaries. Reservists are called up and units are put on alert for deployment. Meanwhile, the French and Royal Navies begin "search and destroy" operations in the North Atlantic as German U-boats attack British merchant shipping. The Allies will be prepared.

The cities were altered to make the MPP incomes more realistic, they automatically go back to the control of the original countries upon U.S./USSR entry. Changes Made: * 2 US cities and 2 US ports are under British control to incorporate the historical "Lend-Lease" agreement between the US and Great Britain. * 1 Soviet city and 1 Soviet port are under German control to incorporate resources received by Germany as part of their non-aggression pact with the USSR. * 2 Soviet cities under French control to make France's MPP income more realistic. Note: No troops from either side are allowed to enter these cities and ports until they have been returned to the control of their original owners (i.e. US / USSR enter the war, thus regaining control). Neither side received a bid.

Personally, I don't care. That's right, I DON'T CARE! At the end of the Gulf War, Iraq agreed to abide by a certain list of demands. These demands were conditions that the UN expected Iraq to abide by. If they didn't accept these conditions, the war would have continued. But they did choose to accept them and the war ended. To make a long story short: Over the years, Iraq has repeatedly ignored these conditions (kicking out UN inspectors among other things). To add insult to injury, they repeatedly attacked U.S. and British warplanes enforcing UN imposed no-fly zones. That alone warranted invasion by the United States, WMDs or no WMDs! The SOBs repeatedly attempted to shoot down American pilots as they enforced the UN imposed no-fly zones. That is a very clear violation of the peace agreement Iraq agreed to. The United States has every right to respond to any attack on American servicemen with military action. [ August 15, 2004, 09:38 PM: Message edited by: Comrade Trapp ]

Terif, you sure your last couple entries shouldn't be in the other thread? This is so confusing.....

Common newbie mistake, I bet the Royal Navy and RAF is having a field day. Isn't that the truth. Like the pic btw.

That went right over your head, didn't it?

You can call yourself whatever you want, just telling you how it is. If having "Master Reich Killer" in your sig makes your pee-pee hard, you just go right along using it.

lol, this should be good..... btw, get rid of that "Master Reich Killer" crap in your signature. First off, it looks gay. And second, you haven't earned it. Look forward to reading the AAR, however short it may be.

Lioneyes nah, we've been accused of flaming newbies too. But that usually happens when newbies comes on here and immediately starts mouthing off to other forum members. Or my favorite: A newbie will come on here and claim to be a veteran or experienced player just because he beat down the AI a few times. But I'm sure you'll be ok. Rannug Oh yes, I remember the first time I played Terif. By time I captured Paris (I was Axis), the little bastard had wiped out 3/4 of my entire army by air and had grounded the Luftwaffe. All thanks to his new strategy (new at the time) of using carriers to intercept airfleets while in port.

Understand, I do not. :confused: </font>

The Russian Front has never been my strong area, as my opponents will tell you, but I'll try to help you out the best I can. The key is to force him to commit his forces to your strongest front. If your weak on the Eastern Front, do something to make him commit forces elsewhere. Has the US entered the war yet? How are you doing in the Med? Is the RAF/USAAF capable of taking on the Luftwaffe? Where in Russia is your frontline? Has the Siberian Army transferred yet? What tech advantages does he have? What tech advantages do you have? Do you have anything invested in tech research? These are all questions that you have to take into consideration. Also, is he making his breakthroughs in one particular area or at different spots along your front line? Is this a single player game or multiplayer?

Like Kuni said, entrenchment makes it harder to inflict damage on the defender. The best why to attack any unit (whether its entrenched or not) would be to attack in the following order: Naval Units (Battleships and cruisers, followed by carriers) Corps Armies Airfleets Strategic Bombers (if needed at that point) Or at least, that’s how I do it.

It depends on your overall strategy and the current situation. Its a balancing act, like everything else having to do with the defense of France. I've seen people do it both ways.
