27 Juli -41 Glouchester sunk. Axis withdraw in the west and in southern france. Probably building a meatwall against the Russkis. Cologne and Essen taken by France. Kiel taken by the british. Bock hammered to 20% Russian army on steady advance. Still no real resistance, guess they're all in France. Italian sub sunk. The seas are allied. British corps outside Tripoli. Chuikov given command. That should be enough HQ’s. Time for the Russian air to build up.

T 50? 13 July -41 Italians and Germans continue struggling in southern France. Mostly ignored by the allies. Alexandria falls. Königsberg captured by Russia, Algiers captured by British. Subhunting in Med, minor damage. Konev is given command

July 12 -42 Allies do their thing, but they have developed heavy bombers! I've never seen that one before! :eek: Axis continue to pound the russians, ground is gained, holes are appearing in the Russian lines, and we have a few possible breakthroughs. Unfortionately I forgot to check the status on Riga, just assumed it was at lvl5 was at 4, so now it is out of ZOC. I guarantee that one of the bloody partisans will appear there next turn. Leningrad is under siage, and soon totally surrounded, which means that the units in Finland must take Helsinki, or withdraw else they become cut off and destroyed. Axis declare war on Turkey, strong air from the east kill a corps, the western attack unsucessgul due to lavk of air, now remedied. Konstantinople port bombarded to 0, but no corps sent through, yet... Where _is_ that overlord?

Allied airstrikes have depleted the production of most of the western hemisphere! I have allowed them to continue as they usually take a lot of hits on the air, and that is costlier than the production, but now I believe it is time to start defending the airspace in the west. Well, next turn at least. Air and fleet bombards Bergen. Usual losses on the poor corps there, more meat sent into the grinder. Finland is reinforced again, Russia is not really making any headway there, as they lack airsupport, probably afraid of axis air. Germany is making good ground in Russia, and Russian losses should be eating their MPP's, whereas Germany continues to build up its strength. My gut feeling is that I'm winning, unless Siberians and overlord time everything really well, and overlord is very strong. [ June 08, 2004, 06:59 PM: Message edited by: Arngrim ]

Oh Reiver, you're in _so_ much trouble now!

T48? 29 June-41 Resolution is sunk, Alexandria corps annihilated by Italian air. British corps advance on Algiers. British take Copenhagen. Russians take Warsaw, Russians sweep forward, expecting resistance soon. Timoschenco given command at the western front.

Andrea Doria sunk. Reinforcements&reorganization in France. The Red Army crosses the border and lay siege to Königsberg&Warsaw. Zhukov appointed to the German campaign. Finland declares war.

T44? 27 APRIL -41 Losses: Allies/ Axis Land: 17-13 Air: 1-1 Naval: 5-7 Italians clear out Algiers but does not take the city, yet… Italian navy in combat, nothing sunk. Rodney and Resolution enters Med. 1 italian fleet sunk. RAF hasssels a German corps, Gibraltar occupied.

T 42 March 30 -41 US:´5 USSR: 73% Alexandria holds, and is again reinforced to 50 % No RN ships sunk, valiant Retreats with heavy hull, rudder and radar damage (10%) Rodney & Resolution are close to Med. Italian XII corps are ready to invade Algiers, but the british understrength corps (10%) sail from Malta to Algiers, and RN pound the Italian corps to 20% initial strength. French armor&corps exit German territory, and retreats into France. GB corps load transports and head for Gibraltar. RAF reinforced.

T38 2 March -41 Italians take Marseilles, and advance on Paris. Heavy Naval battles outside Sicily, Royal Oak sunk. RN strikes back, and sink a damaged Italian Battleship, but the Italian retribution will be horrendous, I estimate losses to be 1 BS and 1 cruiser. Rodney and Resolution battleships sail for the med. Malta is recaptured. Alexandria holds out. France withdraws to defensive positions behind the rhine. France just isn’t strong enough to go on the offensive versus Germany yet. RAF receives reinforcements, and RN takes up positions to blunt the Italian southern strike.

Well... I prefer to keep my girls to myself Kuni, but thanks for the advice, I'm sure it was well meant.

Late june? -42 Russia withdraws, and attacks in Finland. Filand now down to a glorious corps, and a German army. Relief is on the way. RAF now has 2 bombers and 3 jets pounding german resources. I guess overlord is on the way. preparations are in the works. RN pounds Norway. Germany pushes on in Russia, and destroy e few units. Iraq expiditionary force reorganises. Manstein is assigned to the defence of France.

T36 Jan -41 Marseilles is lost to the Italians. Germany withdraws to secure positions except for a brave but foolish army, which is destroyed (4:th).21:st corps unsuspectedly run into Rundstedt HQ,. A british corps loads transports. The French advance into Germany. Heavy fleet battles outside Sicily.

Italians find and sink stray Fench tranport. Axis in Russia destroy a few corps, but no real progress yet. Axis invade Iraq. unit destroyed, but city onoccupied.

T34 ? Axis take suez. Marseilles under siege Axis press in northern France. Costly airbattles destroy German corps. RN bombards Malta, and a corps embark to take it.. F tank goes aggressive and destroy corps. Rogue corps from Magineut threatens Munich

RAF hits France and germany, bombing the resources to hell, but taking hits in return. RN withdraws from Spain. Beirut taken, Riga finally falls due to heavy pounding from the air. 1 russian air destroyd, vengeance for the finns! Whole eastern front reinforced. It is time to go on the offensive!

I'm a lightweight (actually I'm a lighter than air featherweight... hot-air baloon weight?) But I'm with Blashy here.

1. Lets make one thing nice and crystal clear: I have _not_ accused anyone of cheating, merely of making a mistake. 2. Rambo, I _love_ your colourful language, but when you (sooner or later) smack me I shall be royally pissed, proud as a Swede I am Kuni, keep up the factbased and insightful comments in the SC2 forum, I seldom post there, but I _do_ appreciate your knowledge, and so will all future and coming players of said game. Actually, if You're ever in Stockholm, look me up and I'll buy you a beer. Bottom line: Mistakes are made, and I wanted to know if I can check if the scenario matches the bids. According to the answers, I guess not. And Wo/man that I'm playing: I sincerely believe that you just started the wrong scenario, proof is that the discrepancy that I noted benefitted me, and not you.

T32 Italians siege Marseilles and invade Egypt. Germany attacks units instead of Brussels, destroys 2 corps. RN retaliates and the cost is an army and a corps. I believe the German lines are thinning.

Is it possible to check the starting values of a pbem game in the editor? I recently recieved a new pbem game, and found... strange stuff as I was playing through my turn. So I wonder if i can open a pbem file with the editor and check the starting values? Or anywhere?

Gibraltar evacuated. Heavy fleet bombardment in Spain, Portugal and Norway. Airstrikes in Spain, France and Norway. Russia Throws everything at Finland, iuncluding empy Vodkabottles. Allies manages to inflict heavy structural damage, but no units are lost. The brave general push by the Germans in russia appears to have no effect whatsoever! Despite _very_ heavy airbombardment Riga continues to hold. Same story in Beirut. Gibraltar taken. A heroic commendo corps invades and takes Halifax. German high command, horrified by the allied air orders resources into AA research.

T 30 Germany risks a low strength corps and an armor to screen 3 armies assaulting Brussels. LW moves airfleets forward to provide aircover. Italy besieges Marseilles, and have an invasion fleet ready to strike at Egypt. RN regroups for several tasks. Land and airstrikes destroy the tank.

Tkanks Little Joe. since I did Ireland and LC, I guess US is negative and ussr is really low. It will start to rise during -41 though... Ball is with exel now, we'll see when he sends his next turn.

T28 Italian Breakthrough in the south, and German in the North. 2 corps lost. 1 Italian Battleship sunk outside Gibraltar. Andrea Doria is on Maneuver outside Egypt, so we’ll soon see how much of the Italian navy is poised to strike. Rest of RN pound at coastal Germans. The leading Army in the German advance is destroyed. The French corps at the Italian Border head for paris.

T 26 18/8-40 Malta falls to the greedy Italians. Heavy German attacks punch a hole in the French Lines, but at the cost of an AF. French reposition to leave the coast road open to the gerries, and counterattack destroys the bold exploiting armor.Carrier repaired to 7. Probe reveals that Copenhagen is garrisoned. Fleet elements in range of Gibraltar, and the Italian BS there… Losses:Allies Axis Land 11 6 Air 1 1 Naval. 4 5
