Terif Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 September 20, 1942: Siberians transfered. At the right time: Combined invasion in France started. US forces marches towards Paris. Odessa lost this turn. The people of Moskov see the german invaders in the distance, fast approaching... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zappsweden Posted May 27, 2003 Author Share Posted May 27, 2003 November 1942 (THE MOMENT OF TRUTH): Allied troops approaching Paris while Axis operate some units there (German tank in Paris for instance). Will Paris and France fall now or will they hold? The deceisive moment of the war will follow.

Terif Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 November 15, 1942: Bordeaux falls to UK forces. US troops in the outskirts of Paris. Kharkov conquered by Axis troops. Moskov under attack. Axis have to fight for each hex, no retreat any more. Russians have to stay at their places until they are dead .

Terif Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 December 1942: Axis transfered airfleets west. Heavy airfights around Paris follows. German veteran armies counterattack and destroy a US army. In Russia Axis advances stops. The decissive battle in France has begun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zappsweden Posted May 27, 2003 Author Share Posted May 27, 2003 January 1943: While the Allied fleet is near France, one brave Axis cruiser takes his chanse and do a brilliant counter attack on an allied fleet bombarding Norway. Germany have L3 vs L2 jets now and that will probably delay the Allied agression and postpone their advance. Allies get Bordeaux at full supply level due to some rule or flaw that makes the city route supply from Axis Paris! This give the USA HQ supply 10 i.e equal to the Germans.

Terif Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 March 1943: UK intelligence discovers an improved jet technology at german airfleets. This can be the decissive factor now in the airbattle of France. After the jet advance, Germany transfers additional airfleets to France. Only a wonder can save the invasion forces now. They kill a german army, but looses a US corps. Losses on 1:1 basis cant be replaced very long. Germany has nearly no losses in Russia with its very experienced units. They only conquer 2 hexes (=death of 2 corps) per turn in Russia, but with all mpp going west it will be very hard to win this war for Allies now.

Terif Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 March 21, 1943: Major offensives begun at both fronts. US and UK forces destroy a german army near Paris and an italian corps near Brussel that protected an airfleet, based in Brussel. Airfleet attacked by ground unit, but no damage: Entrenchment 6. Some of the heaviest airfights over France: 5 airfights, one german airfleet destroyed. 10 remaining. In the east, russian forces counterattack near the mines of Rostow and destroy a minor army. A corps moves through a gap towards Odessa and encounters a german airfleet. Russian armies from Siberia moves near Moskov... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 April 18, 1943: What an unexpected victory ! Germany left the airfleet in Brussel trusting in the entrenchment Lv 5. But under naval and air attacks, this entrenchment was reduced fast and a free french army attacked together with US and UK forces. Low Countries liberated ! Germany operated at least 3 additional armies back to France in the last turn and the tank in Paris killed another US army. But reinforcements are on the way... In Russia, 7 german armies breakthrough towards Rostow, but some russian armies counter and nearly killed one of the armies. At Leningrad some russian corps moved through a gap, but were stopped by italian corps. Near Moskov the Siberian armies attack... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 May 16, 1943: No breakthrough possible without air cover near Moskov and Leningrad, russian units have to reatreat for regrouping. Axis main offensive goes towards Rostov. One mine between Sewastopol and Rostov captured, 2 russian armies destroyed mainly by aircrafts.A german army survives an attack from UK and russian armies with strength 1. Very bad, next turn they can kill another russian army. Axis operated all remaining airfleets (9) back to Russia, after they lost the airbattle in France. Now their offensive is going forward again. Some russian corps make an offensive towards Odessa, surround a german airfleet and attack it, but without doing damage.. In France things go better for Allies. Another german army destroyed (who counts the italian corps ). The tank in Paris is getting lonely.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 June 13, 1943: UK scientists report an important breakthrough in jet technology. A spy helped with some enemy secrets to catch up. Now Germany and UK have Lv3 in jets. In Russia the cut off airfleets is further attacked by 3 corps, but still no damage... Second mine captured by german armies, russian army and some corps destroyed. 2 additional german armies destroyed in France. Allies begin to cut off France from Germany along the former Maginot line (Vichy, Spain and Portugal still neutral). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zappsweden Posted May 29, 2003 Author Share Posted May 29, 2003 June 1943: Axis forces take the Russian mines across Dnepr. Axis forces moving southeast towards the Kaukasus. In the northern part of the front, trench warfare and occasional battles occur. In the west, Paris is soon surrounded and Lowlands is liberated by Allies. Axis has lost alot of air possibly much because they were not placed far behind. Axis do not longer have the capacity to destroy allied units so Allies have a big advantage. France will fall to the Allies soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 June 27, 1943: Axis is moving slowly towards Rostov. A russian tank destroyed near Sewastopol. Finally the 3 corps (1 destroyed -> 1 fresh corps) attacking the cut off airfleet do some damage. In France the mine is captured. Italian corps are falling like flies...

Terif Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 July 11, 1943: Axis removed its forces from France. Paris occupied and France liberated. German cities under attack. Some minor airfights. In Russia a strange situation occured: 2 partisan corps and the corps offensive from Sewastopol nearly cut off the entire Axis front deep in Russia. A line of red hexes goes now from Sewastopol to Riga. Only one single hex at the baltic sea stays italian and connects the russian front with Germany.

Terif Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 August 8, 1943: Essen conquered. Cologne is next: entrenchment reduced to 0. German airfleet retreated. No airfights in Germany. In Russia each turn appears a partisan. Obviously Axis operated all corps back to Germany, no one there to supress the partisan threat. Meanwhile german armies reached the outskirts of Rostov. A russian tank is entrenched there supported by Hq. Russian forces went back to the next defence line behind the rivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zappsweden Posted May 29, 2003 Author Share Posted May 29, 2003 Fall, 1943: Allies pour into the Baltic Sea to attack Denmark hence isolating Norway and Sweden from the German mainland. The naval battle of Baltic starts with german sub and cruiser sinking UK cruiser. In Russia, Axis are attacking Rostov and also trying to cross the Volga. Huge Axis air force appears near Rostov and Timoshenko HQ is destroyed. [ May 29, 2003, 03:24 PM: Message edited by: zappsweden ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 September 5, 1943: Unfortunately Germany discovered LR Lv3 one turn ago and used it immediately to kill a russian Hq with 6 airfleets. Now Rostov will fall in 1-2 turns. In the Baltic the last naval battle started. The lost UK cruiser is revenged: the german cruiser that sunk him, lies now side by side with the UK ship at the bottom of the sea. The sub dived at all attacks and survived. But the german carrier that intercepted from Riga port, was also attacked by 2 battleships and reduced to strength 4. An airfleet intercepting from Königsberg was destroyed. This naval battle delayed the plan to cut off the northern countries from Germany. Only one german corps destroyed. All allied airfleets are now on the continent.

Terif Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 October 3, 1943: The german carrier has been reinforced to full strength (13). It is immediately attacked again by a landed corps, 2 battleships and had to intercept a UK carrier. But it survived at strength 6. The sub dived again. Only one attack damaged it. Rostov still russian, but will fall next turn. Russian counterattack at Moskov, two german armies damaged.

Terif Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 October 31, 1943: In the 3rd combat round the again reinforced german carrier finally got killed. 2 carriers, a battleship and a corps finished it off. The sub dived now to the ground and will never come back . A major breakthrough accomplished between Hamburg and Cologne. US units pour through a 2 hex wide gap into the heart of Germany. Russian landing in the south of Sweden, Transports along the coast from Bergen to Stockholm. In the east, Rostov is lost. 7 veteran german armies supported by 7 airfleets marche towards Stalingrad and Caucasus. One russian army at Moskov destroyed. The russian attack reduces a german army to strength 1. Now Russia would need air support . German Hq and airfleet attacked by 3 corps: only minor damage.

Terif Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 November 28, 1943: The naval battle is over: no german ship is existing any more. During the fight 4 german ships - including 1 carrier - have been sunk. 5 UK ships got lost. Only 2 battleships and 3 carriers survived the battle. Russian corps take a mine in Sweden. The german mine has been conquered by UK forces. US scout troops stand in the outskirts of Berlin. German forces reaches Stalingrad. Axis use a Hq and an airfleet to block russian corps in the middle of the front line. 4 russian corps keep on attacking them from a river without much success: each of them has 4 medals experience.

Terif Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 March 1944: Stalingrad captured by axis forces. Caucasus, Iraq and Egypt cut off from Moskov. That means the loss of 149 mpp per turn for Russia and UK. Uk transport in the Med stopped by an italian battleship, Axis makes an offensive in Egypt. But the western front goes very well: Hamburg and the port captured. The front line goes through Berlin now. Two mines in Norway/Sweden occupied by russian and US forces, Kopenhagen under siege. Minsk recaptured by a partisan corps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zappsweden Posted May 30, 2003 Author Share Posted May 30, 2003 March 1944: Russian partisans finally defeated, at leist for a while. Norway, Sweden and Denmark have entrenched capitals trying to delay the allies the most. The Axis western front is now a north-south front through berlin and the front bends southwest towards the mountains in southern Germany. Allies have superior MPP but Axis kill more units in Russia than the Allies do in the Western theatre. The 3 Allied carriers have obviously been taking some casualties by the German interceptors (long time ago) and the baltic battle because they do not inflict so much casualties anymore. Currently, there is no interception going on in the western theatre since Germany cannot afford it. FATAL MISTAKE BY AXIS: Rumania capital is undefended. I forgot about the transport moving there last turn. This means, Rumania will fall due to a naval landing next turn.

Terif Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 April 2, 1944: The end of Axis is near. Berlin nearly surrounded and under attack from 4 sides. The capital will fall next turn. Carriers are repairing... Romania surrenders fortunately, giving Russia some mpp to defend the Urals. Axis are moving fast in Russia now, without much resistance. Only some russian corps left, except one army entrenched in Moskov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zappsweden Posted May 30, 2003 Author Share Posted May 30, 2003 April 1942: In Rumania, Axis are moving 3-5 units there to recapture the Capital. Russian land is more like islands now. One in north Leningrad-Moscow-Urals and one in the south Kaukasus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 April 30, 1944: Yes, a lot of red island over the whole map . Voronez captured by Axis. The next defence line is Leningrad-Urals. Moskov still russian, but not very long now... US troops are celebrating in the enemys capital. Berlin belongs to USA now . Lets see how long the germans fight without their capital. Half of Germany occupied by allied troops from Königsberg to Munich. Only 4 german cities left.
