Exel Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 German HC wires a message to Sir Arngrim: "Shove those carriers into your ass, please." They wreak havoc on an unprecedented scale, and the troops on the ground are most fed up of getting the RN bomb deliveries on their heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exel Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 BREAKING NEWS - After the capitulation of Sicily and the encircled troops in the north, spontaneous demonstrations in Rome develop into a revolution. The crowds, acknowledging the defeat their government doesn't, march into the parliament and overthrow the regime. Remaining troops all across Italy and Middle East surrender to nearest Allied units - British or American if possible. POW colums surrendering to the Brits in the north sing "we aint gonna fight no more..." with smiles on their faces as they march into custody. WW2 in Europe is over. I'm quite pleased with my performance in the end. Even after the disastrous start I could fight on for over a year after the Soviet DOW, which quite frankly in summer 1941 I did not believe would be possible. Good game, hope for a rematch soon!

Arngrim Posted May 6, 2004 Author Share Posted May 6, 2004 Finally the opressed people of Italy rise agains Mussolini. War trials are being prepared, so is a rematch. Same rules, but allies may surrender if London, Leningrad and a few others are taken. Don't know if we're doing an AAr this time though. Good game! Thanks Exel, it's been fun, _and_ the entire war was fought on hexagons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
