Terif Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 July 22, 1945: I wanted to wait until my rockets reach a higher lv before attacking, but now I have not much time left to reach Berlin... Therefore I had to move them forward now. The last battle has begun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 Rockets? Wow. What does it take for Axis to get the win? Terif might hold onto Russia for awhile, allowing the USA to survive. Can he get a draw & remain undefeated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terif Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 Russia has now 7 rocket units in action. The only chance against the experienced german armies... [ June 28, 2003, 11:25 AM: Message edited by: Terif ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 7-rocket-units, nice What level? Much experience? Are you keeping the German air off them? Inquiring minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 August 19, 1945: Rocket numbers are increasing.. After one year researching with 5 chits they reached Lv3 now. Slowly gaining experience... Axis cant attack them without triggering the Siberians . And the side that starts attacking with airfleets, will loose them immediately the next turn. Both sides have now 15+ airfleets standing in 2 rows standing out of reach of the enemy air, but close enough to attack an enemy corps to force them to intercept. Its like in the cold war: airfleets are the deterrent weapon (similar to nukes). The side that starts the air war will loose the most.. so no one wants to start the war Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zappsweden Posted June 28, 2003 Author Share Posted June 28, 2003 August 1945: 15 German air fleets and 1 Bomber go on the offensive. 12 Allied air units respond. RESULT: 4 Allied air units destroyed. 2 Allied Rockets destroyed. I am so happy that Terif spent his money on Rockets. If he had more air i could not have killed them. I could duel 12 vs 12 air and use my last 3 fresh ones kill off his damaged ones. Russia has nothing left to do now. Their rockets cannot be used since they get destroyed. Their air decimated. I can now reveal why I have been so passive. I was stuck on Long-Range L1 for a long, long time. I had 4 chits for more than 10 turns and 5 chits for 10 more turns. The lack of long-range prevented me from exploiting my advantage in numbers in Sweden and Russia. Now I have longer range for my air and converging attacks from long-range is now easier.

Terif Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 Yes, LR was deadly. So Axis were able to attack US/russian airfleets directly. For the immediate counterstrike in the allied turn, Axis had some airunits left, so they didnt loose an airfleet. But investing in airfleets wouldnt make sense for Russia. They cant attack with them, only secure the status quo, but they have to throw Axis out of russia in order to win.

zappsweden Posted June 28, 2003 Author Share Posted June 28, 2003 October 1945: Axis attack sparsely with some air and spend their time repairing its 16 air fleets. [ June 28, 2003, 12:47 PM: Message edited by: zappsweden ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 Allied airunits retreated some hexes back, hopefully out of range of Axis air.. US battleship attacking Brest, Axis ships attacking Malta. US transports are looking for open cities. Scapa Flow was american some turns, but it was time to go now and look for a better place to live .

zappsweden Posted June 28, 2003 Author Share Posted June 28, 2003 Mars 1946: Axis attacks sparsely again. It is better building up the air force to full capactity. Every interception duel cost heaps of MPP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 Yes, each airfleet duell costs around 250 mpp. To kill a rocket Axis needed usually 6 airfleets, that makes 1500 mpp losses per turn . Not even Germany can afford these losses very long... Time to reinforce, Russia retreated most of its rockets. Except the one entrenched in the city.

Terif Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 In May 1946 Axis attacked again with its 15 airfleets... Time to go back another hex with the air and to bring the rockets in safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zappsweden Posted June 28, 2003 Author Share Posted June 28, 2003 Rambo. You must not forget that UK have surrendered and belongs to Axis. This is a stalemate win for Axis. If it was not, i would be alot more aggresive in Russia now that I have the initiative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terif Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 July 28, 1946: Axis throws everything into a last battle before the stalemate in 1947. It even moves some airfleets in dangerous places to spot Allied positions. But Germany has enough air: 17+ airfleets. Allies lost nothing in the first attack. Heavy airfights in the counter and Germany looses an airfleet. A solid line of corps, armies and tanks has been built by Allies at the line Leningrad-Moskov, Voronezh, Rostov.

zappsweden Posted June 28, 2003 Author Share Posted June 28, 2003 August 1946: Moscow and Rostov trenches knocked down. Axis ground forces are beginning to reach the newly formed front. One Axis air was placed up front and killed by Russian ground units. The ground units (tank and army) were ofcourse killed next turn as retaliation. One Russian HQ blown up. Sevastopol surrounded. Allied attacks on the Axis corps east of Sevastopol i.e interception duels. [ June 28, 2003, 05:05 PM: Message edited by: zappsweden ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 There must be a program error or a hidden feature.. Siberians did NOT arrive in the last turns. All key cities that trigger the siberians are attacked and 3 axis units adjacent to Moskov...they should have arrived 2 turns ago. Siberian war is off in the options. Perhaps they dont arrive any more after a certain date ?... However, without the Siberian: no chance to hold the line very long. I am curious if Axis reaches Ural and Caucasus before the Stalemate...
