Liam Posted May 7, 2005 Author Share Posted May 7, 2005 Dec 10th 1939: Denmark, LC and Poland all surrender the same turn. Germany is now set to unleash fully on France with the full brunt of the Wermacht and Luftwaffe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted May 7, 2005 Author Share Posted May 7, 2005 the LC is cleared of all but 1 BEF Corps, 2 French Armies bite the dust and 5 Luftflottes make the AirMarshal proud. There is a rumour that Air alone can now win wars<seems this may be proven true> we let Ireland fall, no need for the Allies to gain anymore experience at the cost of the poor souls of Dublin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted May 7, 2005 Author Share Posted May 7, 2005 UK battleship sunk in the Baltic, and 1 cruiser nearly halved in strength. 1 of our brave U-boat Units gave their lives in defense of our Waterways... France is getting hit hard few more turns of frontline combat then she'll retreat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted May 7, 2005 Author Share Posted May 7, 2005 Brave BEF efforts free up the Elbow and allow the retreat of some British forces from there with the destruction of a German Army<the first land casualty of the war for us> but in retaliation LW pounds and nearly destroys the same BEF Army and cuts off the elbow again trapping a British corps there.

Liam Posted May 7, 2005 Author Share Posted May 7, 2005 Another Brave attempt by the BEF and mixed forces from under the banner of General Weygand free up the Elbow killing a 2nd german Army......and again now with a Panzer we lock down the elbow for Germany...bitter & bloody battles for France now ensue August, Panzers arrive at the outskirts of Paris, all looks lost for the French People<they should've listened to DeGaulle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_j_rambo Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Liam got Axis with a huge bid, notice the system is 1:10:30, so the Yanks get a little extra cash. I decided to slow play the French/UK, only a couple of small counters, killed an Army & damaged a few other pieces. RAF staying out of the fight.

Liam Posted May 7, 2005 Author Share Posted May 7, 2005 UK Reveals Jets 1, all those early chits went into Tech<he's learned from our past experiences together not to be too aggressive with UK> France was a bloodfest, and I lost more than I'd of liked and he escaped well, however, The UK Navy did take a few hits and overall I'm not unhappy with the outcomes, save losing any German units at all... There are plenty of Luftflottes now 7 Now time to convert some of Europe to the Cause of Socialist Freedom<god forbid you gotta rely on those evil Limeys who kill off the coot whittle pattys > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 November 1940 --- Royal Navy (RN) makes a bold attack against Italian landing craft outside of Algeria. One Italian Battleship & 1-Army transport are at the bottom of the Med. Sea. RN leaves that immediate area along with the Jet+1 working out of Malta. Axis forces are being delayed with the cookie cutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 May 1941 --- Axis forces have taken VF & Norway...plus the minors have joined. But, Yugoslavia holds their country along with Albania. Egypt & Beruit are Allied controlled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share Posted May 9, 2005 The English did well Pre Barbarossa, so I have just taken Gibraltar and freed up massive MPPs in the East and now also am moving in on Portugal. Brest was finally taken after several rounds of Carrier and Air attacks along with bombarding battleships and couple Allied Armies. I have very little in the West so far, but you can feel Rambo's urgency to step things up so he's circling Paris already and I assume Allied HQs came via Normandy Beaches that were undefended. In the Baltic I lost 1 of my German Cruisers but well entrenched level4 German Corps doesn't make it easy to try to steal Norway<what Rambo attempted to do> I haven't any punch for the Western Allies the moment but Greece,Portugal, and Iraq will change that In the East Germany missed 2 Armies in the South foolishly for a Red Tank. We advanced through Odessa Kiev and have made no substantial gains but the martyring of another Red Tank near the Kievan Mine. In the North we've taken Riga and we step forwards now to capture Minsk and clear the Prippets... Even though Finland was lost and the Reds have caught on with 1 AT we still have a destinct advantage and nearly 10 Airfleets all pointing Eastward. With Paris still in Axis hands there is just a bit of time to sweep the Steppe..the Reds are in places 3 units thick and lost of pesky armor. It's quite a battle folks The Reds are unprepared for me..this may be the Best A game I recall from Rambo.. I'm giving him close to my best as well, this is Terific level SC Germans Jets 3, AT4 Brits, Jets 2? catching Germany Reds AT 1 No other tech is known Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 In my opinion, I had a slight lead in the game, UNTIL this insane AT+4 Nazi SS Killers marched into Russia, I need tech! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_j_rambo Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Game still in progress....late 1943: Russia: Jets+3, AT+4. The Red Army on the move after a pullback by the Nazis so they can battle in France. Sweeden is being visited by Russian transports. USA: Jets+4, AT+4. The Yanks have taken Brest, Paris, LC, & the French mine. French resistance' has crossed the Rhine, but this is short lived, massive LF & SS counter attacks. Western Allies led by Patton sail & free Norway! UK: Jets+3, LR+2, GR+1. UK has 4-carriers, all 4-star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 Reds and combined UK assault on France and LC<into Germany> could not be ignored. I had to operate back airfleets and precious units to kill off the invaders. They were soaking up nearly 100 MPPs per turn and any more headway would've meant my death. The Reds got off easy, the line was from Leningrad in the North down to the 2 mines in the South. 2 outta 3 Russian Mines still not yet liberated meaning we lost valuable time trying to headbutt the 3 deep units and had to retreat out as there is now 6 level3 red Airfleets... Scandanavia was invaded on both sides, the loss of the last German cruiser made it pretty much a breeze and Sweden is not yet lost but pretty much looks like that situation is bleak if not impossible for the Greys now... 4 UK Carriers is just too much to fend off, all 4 bars.. They had the assistance of USAF and UK Airfleets from Norway. On a happy note, Low Countries and France are now free of all Allied Forces and on the way out we killed off 2 or 3 full Strength USA Units. Plus the ultimate and final surrender of all Free French units... Riga, Odessa still Axis, the rest Allied. Norway and Sweden will fall soon.. Where will Fritz go now? Only time will tell..<anyone want a hotdog at yankee stadium?> p.s. the new bidding system is definitely more balancing but I should forwarn newer players it's not as easy with Axis and you 'require' TCC [ May 10, 2005, 01:24 PM: Message edited by: Liam ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Game Over, Allies & the Legend win game #1 of this American Championship. Spring 1944 --- After taking Scando, the Axis sent the majority of the LF in Denmark to pound Oslo back into the Reich, but that's all they could grab, well, the mine in Norway too. Sweden held with alot of hit taking Russians. The German's LF kept a few LF in Russia to keep the rebuilding Russian's Air Force in check, but very, very slowly, The Reds were gaining back some Air power after losing half their air fleet. Meanwhile, as the LF was pounding Scando (and killing some Western Allied planes), the UK/USA navies went back to Brest. 5-UK carriers, 2-RAF, 2-USAF were once again mowing down units in France. The Italian Navy came to Beaudeux, only to get ass raped by GR+2 RN with 3-star experience. The 3rd Reich was low on MMPs with the loss & time spent retaking Norway. The Allies slow wore the Axis down, no super battles, just time & gravity took them down. Game #1 Legend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
