Terif Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 Turn 4 Allies: A battleship has a look at the airfleet that attacked the UK air directly: still at strength 7, so no chance to kill it... .

zappsweden Posted July 4, 2003 Author Share Posted July 4, 2003 The whole French war is violent indeed. Axis had fortunately only lost 1 corps and 1 army so far but taken high casualties on many units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 June 9, 1940: Yes, axis units are specialists in surviving with 1 or 2 strength points . But now the last german ship lies at the bottom of Brussel port. Germany broke through the french defence lines. Time to start evacuation procedure for France... Maginot and mine abandoned, units heading to ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terif Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 August 1940: Bordeaux conquered by Germany. Brest abandoned. A new german bomber and some airfleets bombard London port each turn. Very expensive for Axis... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 September 1, 1940: German air continues to bombard London port. Therefore not much can be used for Norway invasion. UK task force surprises the invaders in their landing boots. 2 corps transports sunk, army transport heavily damaged, 2 armies cut off from their way home. Carrier-airfleet battles north of Denmark.

zappsweden Posted July 4, 2003 Author Share Posted July 4, 2003 I put too much effort on the bombing. Should have started it later, securing Norway invasion first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 September 29, 1940: Norway becomes a really big and decissive battle. Army transport sunk, another reduced to strength 1 and cut off by two lines of UK ships from safety. Will be killed next turn. Heavy air-carrier battles. Germany moves all air towards Denmark. Port bombing stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 October 27, 1940: The Norway battle is over. Losses: - 2 UK cruiser sunk and several ships damaged - 2 corps and 2 armies killed on the water, several german airfleets damaged. Italian landings in Egypt. Malta was empty and was Axis since the fall of France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zappsweden Posted July 4, 2003 Author Share Posted July 4, 2003 Axis capitulate. Germany had already lost 6 ground units and 2 German tanks were down to strength 1&2. France fell late, Russia has big cash handicap and Norway is after schedule. At first glance, it might seem that I am a quitter when reading this. You should be in a 30 hour game against Terif first before you draw such conclusions. I rather lose in 4 hours than losing in 30 hours. Against Terif u cannot be behind schedule, because he maintains his lead until the end. My chances were very slim, so I threw the towel in.
