1939 Solo Axis Campaign AAR


Recommended Posts

Year 3 in review

1942 saw victories and defeats across the entire spectrum. We made significant gains against some theaters, stalemates in others, and probably defeats also. The entrance of the USA changed the strategic balance and opened up new fronts that our limited resources are straining to contain. Russia seems to be gaining strength and the British have an unlimited supply of naval assets. A few major decision points are in order for each of the major Axis powers I believe.

Current nation military power.

Losses to date

losses1942_zpsfe9cfde5.jpg

Germany- Can we continue on the Eastern front and support other theaters? Should we forego sub actions since the USA entrance guarantees naval dominance in the atlantic for the allies. Offensive or defensive strategy in Russia? How much can we support the Mid east theater? How much can we commit to the defense of Europe should the US and Britain invade?

Preparing for another long year in Russia. Can we stand against the massive Russian forces?

Stug-self-propelled-gun_zps19599069.jpg

Italy- Can we break the stalemate in Africa without anymore German assistance? How else can we pin down British resources to give our other allies more breathing room?

Our troops with British POWs. Can we continue to push them out?

Fotonachlass-10__232__zpsf0c73a43.jpg

Japan- How long till we can knock China out of the war? Can we sustain our far flung Pacific empire? Where is our next major offensive and should it be against the US, Britain or the Russians? Where is the main American Pacific Fleet?

Our proud troops celebrate the capture of the Philippines. Where is the next victory?

This year will be the turning point as the US will start to show itself in strength. Major battles are sure to happen and this past year we suffered our first series of losses and they are hard to replace.

Enemy actions- The Americans invade France! 2 armies and 1 corps land on the north coast and advance on Paris but our infantry corps hold the city. Russian attacks seem to be losing some steam although if from the weather or just reforming their armies is yet to be seen. Quiet in other sectors.

Germany- Our dreaded two front war has begun. We rush corps to France and form a Panzer army ready to go in next month to relieve Paris. We expect more landings as we are powerless to stop them.

In the east front we destroy another army and corps and push east slowly on all fronts. We secure the oil fields at Maikop but are certain of a Russian counterattack as heavy armor is in the vicinity. Rommel pushed the British off the Syrian frontier and is preparing to advance.

1943 In Review

The year started with definite anxiety among the Axis high command. We had lost the Atlantic to American and British naval power. The Russians had mass heavy armor and had inflicted considerable losses on the German armies. The African and Mid east were complete stalemates. The Chinese were fighting a delaying action and the American navy was nowhere to be seen. The tide however seems to have turned for the better.

Germany- The Russians are but a shell of what they were at the beginning of the year. Despite losing a good number of corps and armies we kept our panzers and air power intact. The Russian attacked in piecemeal with their armor allowing us to counterattack and destroy them one at a time. Despite our cautious offensive we managed to move forward quickly as Russian unit density dissipated as the year progressed. Our experienced battle hardened troops tore through the green replacement armies with ease. After securing Leningrad, Moscow, and Stalingrad the Russian morale has plummeted. Newly promoted Field Marshal Manstein, CinC of the East Front, believes one more major offensive into the Urals and mopping up operations will be necessary. Gen Rommel stubbornly held Syria against superior British and Russian troops with a mix bag of Italian infantry, special forces, paratroops, and the French Foreign Army. The allied invasion of France was repelled and losses for the Allies were high in both men and material. Once again they attacked piecemeal allowing us time to reinforce and hold until we had combat power to counterattack. Our Luftwaffe performed with distinction over the skies being outnumbered. But our superior fighters and experience prevailed. Our objectives for this year is the surrender of Russia from the conflict, defending Europe from another Allied invasion, taking control of the Mid East and assisting the Italians in Africa.

The Luftwaffe patrols the skies over France

Italy- Seesaw fighting in Egypt all year long as we are unable to outflank the enemy due to terrain and weather. Our limited mobility has kept us to pinning down the British. Luckily we have control of the Med and the Red Sea. This coming year our objective is gaining the initiative in Africa and pushing the British out along with planning for additional operations.

Gen. Italo Balbo, CinC African Command

103965662_135886381890_zps3d8795bc.jpg

Japan- China is still the primary objective and has proved slow going and elusive. Partisans are becoming more active keeping more troops in the interior for garrison duties. Our offensives against Russia have been a complete success and together with our German allies we see their defeat as inevitable. Slow gains in Southeast Asia against stubborn British resistance, bad terrain and weather. Our Combined fleet remained intact although losses have increased as the US Navy is now active. We have scored the first major victory but the battle for the Pacific is far from over. Knocking China out the war is the primary objective. Destroying the US Navy carriers and opening another offensive are in the works. This theater is far from secure as the allies can strike from any direction.
