aesopo123 Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Bid of 200 - UK 200, US 1000, and USSR 4000. I open as the Axis. Northern Polish army decimated- other army brought to 2. Warsaw falls and the Warsaw garrison melted like butter. Denmark is pinged by cruisers. Polish air reduced to 7. Sometimes when I open this way, Poland surrenders by turn 1 and definitely by rd 2. Atlantic is pinged by subs - they are gonna die, might as well die fighting! This is for fun and not on the SC league. Let's see how the wehrmacht fares against the vaunted SC maestro.

kurt88 Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 I bet CT is gonna watch this closely. I bet CT already is selling tickets to this game at his place. I bet CT is printing T-shirts already. Do you like the front logo ?? Actually this isn't so funny as 90% of the SC players are newbies when they face Terif. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aesopo123 Posted August 14, 2004 Author Share Posted August 14, 2004 Standard opening moves for Terif - pinged Ireland with carriers and BB. Polish AF slinked away to the north. Germany decimates all Polish defenders except for remaining corps at 4 and air at 6. Denmark is pinged again. Transport appears to take Denmark the next turn. Atlantic is pinged again for 26 mpp by subs. Seigheil! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Allies turn 2: Germany still concentrates on Poland, so Allies have enough time to prepare their defences in the west . Both subs moved to Canada - adjacent to the port. Since a port can spot enemy units, all 3 french ships can attack the subs without taking own losses. Subs reduced to str 6 and 7 (1xdiving).

aesopo123 Posted August 14, 2004 Author Share Posted August 14, 2004 Ireland still being pinged and reinforced. Subs made a mistake going south. Poland converted. Denmark being pinged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Allies turn 3: Nothing new in the west...german forces still busy in Poland and Denmark (transport sitting outside Kopenhagen, capital not surrounded, so it can reinforce until 8)...allied forces entrenching in France. Subs found again by french ships - one of them sunk by british battleships, the other sub reduced to 4 (french ships only slightly damaged) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aesopo123 Posted August 14, 2004 Author Share Posted August 14, 2004 Ireland still being pinged - lost one sub as expected. Denmark still being pinged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Allied turn 4: Last sub sunk. Only 3 str. point losses in total for the french ships during the sub hunt LC still neutral - Denmark under air attack, but reinforced to 8 again. Since there are no battles, UK continues following its isolation politic (no troops for France...) and is spending its mpps for research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aesopo123 Posted August 14, 2004 Author Share Posted August 14, 2004 Denmark converted. Ireland pinged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Allied turn 5: Allies are waiting for german soldiers, but they don´t come. So french forces are sitting in their country drinking wine and eating cheese until they become fat and round and can´t fight any more... But perhaps it is not necessary anyway: every hex between paris and the border is now occupied by a french corps or army Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aesopo123 Posted August 14, 2004 Author Share Posted August 14, 2004 Yes, the lazy French winos... LC DOWed and converted. Ireland pinged again to str 1 - reinforced. Yes army defense with UK racing for techs - gotta make those carriers lethal eh? Italy at 82% - maybe at three more turns? The tech race is on.

Terif Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Allied turn 6: French forces occupy the 2 open LC hexes S and SW of Brussel. Naval bombardements all along the coast - including a tank sitting at the coast in Denmark. Italy will only join when german forces reach Paris since Allies didn´t move their Med units .

aesopo123 Posted August 14, 2004 Author Share Posted August 14, 2004 Ireland being pinged. French corps killed. UK corps reduced to str 1. A killin we go! No AF presence intercepting us - gotta take Zapp's rule book on this one. But he is getting his delay for the axis so how much time do I have left to plunder the remaining countries before USSR comes into play? That's the critical point. Seigheil!

Terif Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 April 14, 1940: France still occupies a LC hex. 3 french ships move north and encounter the german navy: Scharnhorst reduced to str 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aesopo123 Posted August 15, 2004 Author Share Posted August 15, 2004 Ireland pinged. Destroyed one French Corps and one French army. Two hexes from Paris. Navy beats a hasty retreat and hides. In line with schedule as planned of destroying two units per turn. I am impressed with the speed of how Terif gets his rounds to you. Very professional like.

Comrade Trapp Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Posted by aesopo123: Ireland still being pinged and reinforced.Common newbie mistake, I bet the Royal Navy and RAF is having a field day.

Terif Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 May 12, 1940: Some nasty german soldiers drinking french whine were thrown out of the country. French soldiers wanted to keep it for themselves, so they were motivated for a counterattack . German corps killed in the first Bloodhex. Again no german feet on french soil. French ships follow the fleeing german navy and reduces the sub to str 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aesopo123 Posted August 15, 2004 Author Share Posted August 15, 2004 A French army and corps were taken out. The Canadian army was reduced to str 3. Took out the pesky French cruisers. Panzers made a break for the northern shorelines. Again Ireland was pinged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 June 9, 1940: German lead tank at the coast moved too fast into enemy territory, so it was without HQ support and got destroyed. Sub sunk near Denmark, german corps in Kopenhagen under naval bombardement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aesopo123 Posted August 15, 2004 Author Share Posted August 15, 2004 Ouch. Destroyed a French army and corps. Got level 1 jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 June 23, 1940: Ireland surrenders, Kopenhagen bombarded. Germany is not advancing where they just killed again the defenders - so still 3 hexes to Paris. Germany developes jets lv 1. Allied command estimates Germany has now used up a good part of the luck they can have during a war... very good combat results each turn, Warsaw turn 1 and researching jets very early with 3 HQs and 5 airfleets in the field - so probably only 1 research chit. But doesn´t matter - Germany waited too long with attacking LC . [ August 15, 2004, 10:11 AM: Message edited by: Terif ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aesopo123 Posted August 15, 2004 Author Share Posted August 15, 2004 We destroy two more corps and bring down another to 4 str - we are one hex away from Paris- allied navy having fun playing pingball on Kopenhagen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aesopo123 Posted August 15, 2004 Author Share Posted August 15, 2004 We ignore the pesky navy for now and focus on Paris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Reinforcing around Paris. Germany removes the training object from Kopenhagen, so french navy goes kamikaze attacking the german ships in port. The str 3 cruiser didn´t repair, so it gets destroyed. The other one reduced to str 6 (thanks to some Gun laying radar for the british battleships ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
