But, but, Sweden is MY homeland!!! :eek:

Germany's fate is decided. Nobody is better than Russia at attrition warfare and I _want_ you to hang in long enough for FINLAND to be conquered, especially since Sweden came out intact!

The Russians die in droves :cool: , but Vichy is now in the fight, and promises to hold on. British prime minister promises aid to the French (again). USA is appaled, and promises to enter the war as soon as Moscow is threatened. Russian wave continues to whittle down the germans. the Italien "empire" will be crushed from the north as soon as berlin has fallen. GB continues its airwar against the german garrison in France. New resorces from the minors line the british coffers.

Alas! Finally i'm knighted! Being a Swedish commander we use Bernadotte's tactics from leipzig: Use the Russians as cannonfodder. Since Sweden likes nothing better than russian blood (historically) we use one enemy to thrash another. Russia is advancing steadily. Our brother nation Denmark is liberated by the Russians, who also advance into Romania, now with HQ support, and take Königsberg. The red army uses the wellknown tactic from WWI, over the top and at them. Decorated warheroes even get weapons. GB airstrikes the German garrison in France. It shall soon be liberated.

Keep it up guys! this is the best AAR I've ever read! Go europe! But I have to grumble about thet attack on my home country, Sweden. :mad:

T22. france falls. kriegsmarine down to a s2 cruiser and a s1 sub. Denmark threatened, G army destroyed. Russia Presses on. rumania joins, their resousces shall soon benefit the USSR war machine. GB continues the air war.

It's been a fun game, and I've been lucky. However in retrospect I wonder if Exel hade been better off used an Italian and an extra German HQ. I tried to hurt his army every turn to force him to purchase new units to keep the offensive up, and apparently it succeded. Thanks for a fun game Exel!

T21 Paris surrounded, 6 attacks bloody themselves against entrenched tank.Tank survives at 8. Marseilles attacked, survives. USSR declares WAR! Russian flood pours over the border. Warsaw falls undefended, Königsberg under siege, Bs Marat damages Sharnhorst, RN on the way. Zhukov takes command of the army. Finland declares war. This game is effectively over. However, we play with a houserule that states that there will be no surrender until a Capital has been taken.

T20 Axis kill another French corps. USSR Prepares for War. :cool: GB develops LR1 and Jet2!!!!

T19 Gibraltar falls. LC retaken by the Germans. The Med. is now Italy's playground.....

T18 French corps destroyed. RN scouting allows France to liberate LC in a lightnig raid. RAF reinforces, USSR at 71% I do believe that Sweden will stay neutral in this game! Good news for the old Fatherland.

T18 Alexandria falls. Another French corps destroyed. New recruited to cover the loss…

T 17 Axis destroy F corps, Beirut captured. Heavy Axis air attacks vs carrier in London port, losing an airfleet in the process. Italian success, 3 Bshipås damage themselves against the port. Carriers retreating to resupply. Finally! Jet 1.

T16. Axis destroy army+corps, and occupy hex next to Paris. German corps destroyed by air. [ April 27, 2004, 05:11 PM: Message edited by: Arngrim ]

Turn 15. OMG! :eek: Germany destroy French army+corps. Kriegsmarine sink 2! Battleships, one (7) cruiser did 6! Points in a single attack!!! All maginot+resource taken. France counter light. RAF tries desperately to kill a german airfleet, with 2 air, 3 carriers, and even a bomber. 6 attacks in total, but it survives . Must be heavily damaged though. GB _needs_ jet ‘tech, but of course, still no payoff…

Turn 14 Strong axis destroy both a corps and an army in France. Paris’ days are numbered. Malta and suez falls to Italy.RN battles with KM, battleship lost. 1 german army destroyed. STILL NO TECH! :mad:

Turn 13 Heavy axis attacks in the North destroy F corps. LW taking damage though. Axis retreat in the south. Mid+South maginot evacuated to stall Northern axis offensive. 1 corps killed. RAF reinforced. Italians sighted outside Egypt and Malta, soon I can post this AAR. RN searches for KM finds a sub outside denmark. It feels that now is the time for some Naval battles since LW is strained. Still no ‘tech. *sigh*

Turn 12. Germany takes LC, damn! Light attacks in the south. Italian corps (6) head for Brest. German corps threaten resource hex. German army in Brussels. Italian army threatening Paris destroyed by Bomber. RN carriers are exposed, rash action by me, I’ll probably regret it next turn.

Turn 11. Light Axis attacks in the south. Brussels surrounded and assaulted by air, 3 armies and a corps, but holds , gotta love entrenchment! RN shorebombards. Allied counterattacks do light damage, but with carrier assistance a corps s/w BR is destroyed.

Turn 10. Axis attack S.Par.corps, (3) light attack vs Ardennes corps (5). No airstrikes (*phew*). All undamaged RN Bs. Move towards channel. Reinforcing F troops. Carriers on the move. Jet chit 3 bought. No ‘tech...

Turn 9 Germany reveals jet1! Air+ground destroy army S Brussels. 2 Italian + 1 G army +1 I&1 G corps without HQ support attack the southern Paris defensive perimeter. No sub found. Ireland not reinforced, is he on to my training schedule? OTOH, plunder would mean onother ‘tech chit _very_ welcome right now… well, training time. Ooops, RN B-ship 0* does 2dam, and destroys garrison, the (very)patient Can corps(2) Land, and takes the city at str 1. Well, it was time for the carriers to defend Paris anyway. Meatwall paris soon complete, new corps purchased. 1 more chit into jet.

Cheers jersey. Thanks for the feedback. Actually the game has moved into turn 21, but I couldn't post my strategies until he discovered certain evacuations on his own now, could ? Turn 8 No Sub raiding. I’ll catch that sub… German & Italian Armies(3) + corps move up towards Paris from the South/Italy. Corps (7)+ newly purchased corps take position s/e+s/w of Paris. Morosely I manage to misclick maginot unit to NN/e Paris, had to cover it with a corps. Damn! 1 Raf reinforce, money saved for ‘tech. French air(8) suicider against G army+intercept, got destroyed! :eek: Horrifying. At least Paris should hold three more turns. Considering the war% I need ‘til 41 or so Training on Ireland. STUPID :mad: me forgot to move the subhunters, I'll have to hope for a surprise contact as it flees….

Turn 7 Axis captures Copenhagen. 3 Armies & air destroy F Army W/Brussels Italian army+corps attack Marseilles. 2RN Battleship+destroyer search S atlantic for sub, but Med fleet moving N along Portugal coast find it, and bring it down to 1. Carriers+bomber train om (4) Ireland, bring it to 1. Army+Corps strike G army W/Brussels, give 2, take 3. Brussels dig in, awaiting assault. F air up to 10 RAF to London to dig in. British get a chit in… (jet) New F corps N Paris RN SB G army.. eh.. fleet bombards german in clear language. Can army lands on elbow?(s/w Brussels) to counter breakthrough S Maginot>French Ardennes to counter break, corps replace.

Turn 6 No sub found, where is he hiding? Denmark destroyed, still Allied. Training on Ireland. Marseilles surrounded and attacked, 1pt of damage. New corps south of Paris. British land in French coast cities. Axis attack without air, from river, no dam. British saves cash.
