jon_j_rambo Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 Okay, a couple of Legends are going at it. Ranger & his rules, no problem. 1) Chits per category, max 2 --- I could careless. 2) Russian readiness bid --- no big deal, I'll lay the 18% instead of 5000+ MMPs. 3) Transports port+1 landing rule --- no problem, no weird missions & I'll beat ass on the ground or some other Legendary way. Drinking brew & playing SC, Legend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Ranger Posted January 24, 2004 Author Share Posted January 24, 2004 Turn one: Axis Std move's with no sub raiding and one air used in poland Allied: Poland set best defensive line that is can. Allied air moves forward to defend LC if attacked. Lots of allied naval movement. Turn2: Std axis moves with Warsaw falling but not Poland. LC is attacked but holds out as French and UK air defends the capital. Allied: UK BEF army lands and helps the French kill off the German corps just south of the capital. LC corps attack Geraman air. Denmark still holding but at str5. One German sub found be is excapes NW, entire UK fleet (?) chasing. Turn3: Axis gets no kills as its fighting a 3 front war (LC, Poland, Denmark) Allied: French Corps (srt1) insainly attacks german armor and destroys its self. Canadian army, UK army and French army reduce the advaced Germany Army to str 3. LC have become WW1 expect Germany now has 3 air units ready to attack, while the allied ones have withdrawn (?).

jon_j_rambo Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 Gee what a start: 1) March 17, 1940, Poland finally surrenders. 2) March 17, 1940, Denmark surrenders. 3) LC is still Allied. 4) Only saving grace, I've killed at least a unit per turn in the West.

Iron Ranger Posted January 25, 2004 Author Share Posted January 25, 2004 April 14, 1940 Allies are only one hex from holding the River defence, but its costing them alot in units while the German army gain exp every turn. Two Axis armor have been destroyed and one corps vs 3 French armys and 4 corps (UK), all all minor units. Both subs have been sunk and the UK navy is free to persue another goal. Germany picked up 2 more air so they now have 5 fighting on the western front vs 0 for UK and France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Germans are bogged down. Poland means everything & so does that Russian 64% readiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 June 9, 1940 --- 1) Wow! I got the Low Countries. Getting them on the 2nd turn might have made things better. 2) Did kill UK-Army, Canadian-Army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 July 1940 - 1) This could be an all-time worst Rambo French ground campaign. I still haven't touch French soil. 2) Royal Navy gets a little too happy, kiss 2-carriers & 1-cruiser goodbye in the English Channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Ranger Posted January 25, 2004 Author Share Posted January 25, 2004 June 23, 1940 Allies insanly attack an exposed corps (st1) with both carriers and move one BBs into the coast of LC, the corps surives and the BB does little damage to a str4 army. Germanys couter is costly as all three ships go down. A sad day for UK. I ended up need to use a damaged french army (forest hex) to get the kill, it was an easy kill for the army but I wanted to try and reiforce is and save the day. This mistake (insanity) is a back breaker and I don't think the allies will recover, I'll cointiue the game but it is unlikely that the allies can win now. One corps 125MPPs - 700 for each carrier 650 for the BBs, thats one hell of an exchange! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Ranger Posted January 25, 2004 Author Share Posted January 25, 2004 July 21, 1940 UK pulls out of France, only 2 French corps are left with 6 German armys near or on the edge of Paris. UK spy's have discovered that Italy will support Germany in this War and a premptive strike is ordered. The Southern city and port are invaded and the fleet destroyed by a combination of French and UK ships. This has been an expensive game for UK, while delaying Germany it has cost her 2 Carriers, 1 BBs, 1 Army, ? on corps (6?) and all the Canadain units. Almost all due to two poor attacks in the LC reagion. Germany has lost 2 Armor, 3 corps, 1 Army, and several other units very damaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Ranger Posted January 25, 2004 Author Share Posted January 25, 2004 Augest 30, 1940 Allies have left 2 corps to die (one already has) in Sicily. They failed to take the city and port in two attacks and have withdrawn. The city and port in southern Itlay was given up without a fight. UK still hold Brest and is waiting for the Axis next move while building her defence against Sealion. No other minors have been DOWed but 6 german air have been pounding on the FF army in London.

jon_j_rambo Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 1) Action in Finland as both sides pour more units into the area. Axis are sporting 3-carriers, 2-ships, 1-sub, & moving the ground units closer to the historic city of Lennigrad. 2) Allies continue to pick on Iraq, but haven't gotten enough punch to capture Saddam. 3) Gibralter, Brest, Brussells, & Bergen are still Allied. But I was able to clearout (kill) the UK commando corp who snaked the mine in France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
