zappsweden Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 Scenario : UK defends Egypt version 0.8 Bidding : none. Zappsweden (Axis). Terif (Allies). "1939 UK defend Egypt version 0.8" This scenario is pretty much like the 1939 Fall Weiss scenario. The difference is that Allies have more power in Egypt so defence of mediterranean is not hopeless for the Allies. Furthermore, Poland is slightly stronger and UK+France have worse starting positions for their air units. This means LC gambit is hard for Allies to perform i.e Germany can commit in Poland a bit longer. Scenario made by Zappsweden. My first Z-league game. Axis attacks Denmark and Poland on turn 1. Denmark falls in turn 2. LC is attacked and falls on turn 3. Poland also falls on turn 3. Axis subs sunk on turn 3 after damaging alot of french ships. Allies attacks Iraq (UK and army starts around egypt). [ May 25, 2003, 09:16 AM: Message edited by: zappsweden ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 UK starts with a Hq and army in Egypt in this scenario. Iraq is attacked in turn 3 and surrenders in turn 8. German forces kill each turn one french corps and are slowly moving towards Paris. In May 1940 they are only 2 hexes away from the capital. Shore bombardements along the french and LC coast. UK transports heading to Italy and Africa... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zappsweden Posted May 26, 2003 Author Share Posted May 26, 2003 France fell in July, 1940: Allies attacked the Italian navy when Italy joined (NOT gambit) but German air appeared to save them. Allies have taken both Italy cities in Africa while Axis keep attacking Malta and attacking Libya from Sicily with air. UK air is in Libya and air duels are fought.

zappsweden Posted May 26, 2003 Author Share Posted May 26, 2003 September, 1940: Norway conquered by Axis. Tripoletania (West Algeria) is under heavy attack by the axis air. Axis landings approach the city. So far, Italy have lost their 2 African armies but Axis has managed to damage some allied ships and kill a few corps (with bombardment+air).

Terif Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 October 1940: Axis attacks Sweden, starting from Norway. Now both Germany and UK receives ~ 250 mpp per turn. Heavy airfights over Tripoli, canadian corps destroyed. German army transport appears west of Tripoli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 November 1940: The german army landed near Tripoli. UK operates a canadian army into the city. In an air and naval battle an italian battleship has been destroyed near Malta. Unfortunately it survived all attacks from secured positions with 1 strength point, so UK had to send a cruiser on kamikaze mission to give the deadly strike.

zappsweden Posted May 26, 2003 Author Share Posted May 26, 2003 In the mediterranean, the total navy losses are 3 UK ships versus 1 Italian ship. [ May 28, 2003, 03:29 AM: Message edited by: zappsweden ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 January 1941: Sweden still holding out, but will fall next turn. Only the army in Stockholm left. Heavy airbattles around Tripoli and Malta, following the naval battle where 2 UK ships got lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 March 1941: 4 German airfleets destroy a new UK airfleet operated to Tripoli. This opens the way for italian reinforcements and Tripoli is surrounded. It will fall next turn back to Axis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 March 31, 1941: Yugoslavia coups. A Yugo corps moves to Bari and occupies the empty city. Allies attacks Brest with ships and carriers. UK player (me ) makes a silly move and operate a weak airfleet to London where it is killed immediately by Axis air... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 June 8, 1941: Yugoslavia surrendered, but a partisan appeared the next turn and captured the italian port in the north. UK forces retreat from Brest after airfleets appear near Paris. Time to reinforce and collect some mpps for the next attacks . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 September/October 1941: German forces start a major offensive from Tripoli towards Tobruk. Hq, 4 airfleets + ground units and battleships. Unfortunately Axis achieved Long Range Lv2 against UK Lv0. I have to fire my scientists . So they can attack UK Hq and nearly kill it, despite 3 UK air intercepting. No chance to survive a fight at this place, therefore UK units retreat back to Alexandria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 January 1942: My scientists are celebrating: they are more advanced in Jet as Germany (Lv2 vs 1 ) . But still in the disadvantage at LR. Russia will join next turn. Probably Axis will attack now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zappsweden Posted May 26, 2003 Author Share Posted May 26, 2003 Februari 1942: Axis attacks Russia. Riga taken but Odessa hold on. Finlands join Axis. [ May 26, 2003, 03:51 PM: Message edited by: zappsweden ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terif Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 April 5, 1942: First german army destroyed near Leningrad. UK and russian units follow the fleeing finish units. The tank near Odessa still cut off and will be killed in 1-2 turns if the line holds. All quiet in the West and in Africa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 May 3, 1942: Axis breaks through the first corps line at Odessa with the help of 4 airfleets. But the second line is still holding and the cut off tank destroyed. East of Riga a german army survived the attacks in a foothold east of the river. Five russian units are placed around now to block it, since it got reinforcements and a german Hq moved in range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zappsweden Posted May 26, 2003 Author Share Posted May 26, 2003 May, 1942: USA joins the war. Only eastern front has some actions at the moment. Russia and UK storm into Finland. Axis is slowly advancing on the Odessa front line. An Axis HQ was under heavy Russia+UK air attack but was defended by German air and..., a German Carrier in Prussia.

Terif Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 The german Hq was uncautious. A russian ground unit was able to attack it, followed by airstrikes. If UK had LongRange, it would have been dead probably . Finally my scientists developed now their first LR technology, but one turn too late. The line in the south is holding, but slowly pushed back. In the north UK and Russia have air superiority and are attacking Helsinki now. USA joins the war after Axis attacked Greece, which will surrender next turn.

Terif Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 July 5, 1942: One of the largest airbattles in history occured around Leningrad. 7 german airfleets and a carrier against 3 UK and 3 Russian airfleets. One Axis goal was to kill the UK HQ, but this fortunately failed. Two additional airstrikes and it would have been dead. Simultaneously 2 cruiser and a sub attacked the russian fleet that was bombarding Helsinki and a new ground transport moved into Finlands capital. The last attempt to save Finland. But it was too late: surrounded and bombed from several airfleets, the finish capital surrendered together with the country at July 5, 1942. Since Axis throws everything north towards Finland, theres trench warfare in the south near Odessa. In the west, the first Allied sign of the oncoming invasion: carriers and ships attack Bergen. US ground units are preparing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Axis airpower is too overwhelming in the north now and the main goal is achieved: Finland is converted. Russian and UK air retreat to a more healthy place after the first UK airfleet got killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Sounds like the game is coming to a possible turning point. A shootout in Finland, & the Russians capture Finalnd? Germans probably have the ground game under control...Where are the Americans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 It will take a while until the game is turning... The Americans are hidden somewhere, only the traces of their transports can be spotted . Its August 16, 1942: With air superiority in Russia, Axis are slowly moving forward. Minsk and Kiev are lost. A new defence line from Odessa to Leningrad is formed. Game will be continued tomorrow.
