Sleep is for the weak!

June 9, 1940 France's first defensive line has been overrun, although the French 3rd Army on the northern section of the Maginot Line continues to hold. Our second defensive line if fully manned and ready to go. Behind that, the French 1st Armored Tank Group, a newly recreated II corps, and III corps waits in reserve. RAF reinforces after intercepts, gaining experience. Italian Readiness still at 80%.

May 12, 1940 French III corps destroyed, II corps takes 90% losses but holds and is later reinforced. No counter-attacks made, instead, III corps is recreated south-east of Paris. British RAF reinforced after intercepts over France. New German HQ spotted on the western front, Manstein (9).

I'm not an LC Gambit type of guy, sorry Kuni.

Dispite all it's downsides, it's still one hell of a game. Has it not kept us entertained over the last 2 years?

April 14, 1940 The German 3rd & 4th armies launch a attack on II corps on the extreme northern end of our defensive line and is repulsed, II corps takes 50% losses and is reinforced. Directly the the south-east to that, the German 14th Army launches a attack on III corps and is also repulsed, III corps is reinforced. The Luftwaffe does not make an air attacks but instead moves into the Low Countries. Meanwhile, the French 4th Army moves from the general reserve into the northern end of our second defensive line. Only one new German unit has been spotted, and that is a Luftwaffe air fleet spotted in the Low Countries. No German HQs have been spotted on the western front. Current War Readiness: Italy: 80% Soviet Union: 37% United States: 11%

Still waiting for the turn.

March 17, 1940 Germany invades the Low Countries which is quickly overrun. Two RAF air fleets intercept, both sides take damage, AFs reinforced. The French Army does not attempt to advance into the Low Countries, but instead remains dug in along the French-LC border. V corps replaces 4th Army which is garrisoning the center section of the Maginot Line, 4th Army pulls back to a position south-west of the French mine. In southern France, VI corps is created in Marseilles.

You going to send me the turn? We got to move faster then this, expect to have my turns back to you within 15 mins from when you send them.

Here ya go : I don't think he's losing, its still very possible to take France by June 1940. [ May 22, 2004, 01:21 AM: Message edited by: Comrade Trapp ]

Its a AAR of an ongoing PBEM game between aesopo123 and myself. Now shove off!

February 4, 1940 All is quite, in England, a 3rd RAF air fleet is created and positioned just south of London. In France, V corps is created. Current War Readiness: Italy: 75% Soviet Union: 33% United States: 5%

December 10, 1939 Denmark falls to German forces. In the North Atlantic, two U-boats are sent to the bottom. The Royal Navy Cruiser HMS Hood takes heavy damage while a RN BB takes minor damage. In France, a newly formed 1st Armored Tank Group (French) moves into position north-east of Paris. Meanwhile, German forces are spotted massing along the German-LC border.

The ending date for ALL campaigns is sometime during 1946. Its rare for a game to last the long but I guess its possible.

edge14 Welcome to the forum, hope you decide to stay around for awhile. I've only seen bidding used for Fall Weiss 1939 campaign, which is really the standard campaign when playing against a human opponent. Comrade Trapp

I bet you have to do that for a lot of your points.

Funny, I only remember reading one.

November 12, 1939 In the North Atlantic, the Royal Navy spots and engages the 2 German U-boats near the north-west corner of the map. Two RN Carriers are used, both sides take damage. In France, the Canadian 1st Army arrives in Paris and begins to dig in. Meanwhile, Denmark is reinforced. [ May 21, 2004, 05:18 PM: Message edited by: Comrade Trapp ]

October 15, 1939 Poland falls to Germany. No attacks made on any other minor, only one corps spotted on the German-LC border. In France, the French Army prepares it's defensive positions along the French-LC border. The first defensive line is made up of I, II, III, IIII corps while the French 1st, 2nd, and 5th armies make up a second defensive line directly behind it. No engagements reported.

aesopo123 E-mail incoming, the pbem file you sent me is telling me its the Axis player's turn.

Liam I 100% agree that Hitler was by far the worst generals of WWII. I personally believe that if Hitler hadn't taken a direct hand in military affairs, the Germans would have won the war in 1940 or 1941-1942. Col. Gen. Guderian Your an azzhat, nuff said.....

September 17, 1939 Warsaw has fallen, but the Poles continue to fight on. Polish units withdraw towards the Polish-Russian border where possible while cut off units hold their positions and dig in. In the West, British General Montgomery (8) is given command of the Royal Air Force in England (RAF Bomber Command is disbanded). The RAF 1st air fleet moves into London and prepares to take on air superiority missions. In France, the French Air Force is disbanded along with 2 French BBs. The mpps are used to build 3 new corps for the French Army. In the North Atlantic, German U-boats raid Allied merchant shipping. A combined force of Royal and French Navy ships is assembled and sent out to hunt down and destroy the U-boat menace.

Just in case anyones wondering how this little dispute got started: http://www.battlefront.com/cgi-bin/bbs/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=18;t=003660 I have no problem with newbies in general, but it displeases me when people brag about beating up on AI and think they are SC player of the year because of it. When it comes from a newbie, it displeases me even more. He has given me no choice but to humiliate him in front of the entire forum. I have to admit though; I think I'm going to get a lot of satisfaction out of this. I'll post my first move when I get home, should be home within the next few hours. Comrade Trapp

**bump** :mad:

I work during the day; I get home at 3:30 pm EST. And you don't need to explain PBEM etiquette to me, I'm very aware of what the rules are.
