zappsweden Posted July 2, 2005 Author Share Posted July 2, 2005 Bad rolls? Landing army 4 Landing army 4 Cruiser 1 Expected damage 4+4+1=9 Expected garrison strength after assault is 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 yep, but since the first army did 5 damage so since chances very pretty good to kill the defender the 2nd army too and is now toast because of this - otherwise it would have sailed away . And in the east it was clearly bad luck... However, Axis are not able to defend the middle east, eastern turkish city conquered, russian forces build another ring around the axis ring at Baghdad - the attacking units are now under attack from the rear themselves . Finland surrenders, Axis capture Madrid, but Spain continues to fight another turn. 2 UK corps occupied spanish Marocco to defend it when Spain surrenders. Allies DoW Portugal and bombard it, but the waiting landing forces retreat since without Madrid it is too dangerous to land now. At the end of the turn Russia developes Jets 2 and is now able to fight against the german lv 3 jets. Russia has to fight alone while the other 2 nations are researching with full power but without success to modernize their stone age fighters before they can fly into war...

Terif Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 March 8, 1942: 2 italian armies thought they would have killed the last defenders of Alexandria and don´t occupy the city. But this was a fallacy: civilians take up the arms of the fallen soldiers and continue the fight supported by a new built UK AF in the city. The people in England are acclaiming the brave citizens of Alexandria . Further in the east: Beirut liberated by russian tanks, the last remnants of the german Afrikakorps cut off and surounded in the desert beween Beirut and Baghdad - all iraqi ressources liberated too. Turkish capital conquered too, Turkey surrenders. West: Gibrlatar corps leaves its position and retreats via transport. But 2 UK corps will defend spanish Marocco till their death. At Bergen western Allies start their first offensive, carriers and AF training. Transports at the norwegian coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terif Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 April 4, 1942: An italian army-transport outside Alexandria leads to the decision to finally evacuate the after all these heavy battles totally destroyed city and to use the fighters as transport planes to bring as much civilians as possible back to safety into England . Russian tanks are only standing 4 hexes east of the city, but they will come one turn too late. The battle of Alexandria will never be forgotten and Zhukov promises to liberate and rebuild the city within the next 2 months . Near Bergen: 2 german lv 3 AFs respond to the UK lv 0 fighters, but all 3 carriers can train then without further interruption. At the end of the turn UK developes Jets 1. But Germany instantly reveals now LR 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 May 3, 1942: Russian tanks liberate Suez, destroying an italian corps in the process and attacking Alexandria. Russian fighers bombard the port to str 3 so the 3 italian armies at Alexandria can´t escape via transport. Unfortunately one of the defending UK Korps at Tangier got destroyed and the city will fall next turn, so the italians can now operate away. Western Allies retreat from Bergen, several more german AFs spotted in France and LC. AFs in the game: 9 german Jets 3, LR 1 7 russian Jets 2 3 UK (+3 carriers)Jets 1 2 USA Jets 1, LR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 Zapp has to go, so he saves. Will be continued probably tomorrow. Italian army in Alexandria didn´t flee this turn and the other 2 west of it couldn´t flee due to missing supply. Let´s see if enough russian AFs are in range to kill it next turn - all 7 are in the middle east area . In the west german AFs force intercepts - but sooner or later Allies should get a bit tech...cause of the catch-up bonuses in every area now, added chance for a new tech is 116% each turn at the moment .

zappsweden Posted July 3, 2005 Author Share Posted July 3, 2005 The Romania DOW give 8-22%. I got 18% in my game against Terif, which means I have 1-2 turns earlier Barbarossa than normal luck. That also makes USA join 1-2 turns earlier since my DOW's after Barbarossa trigger them.

Terif Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 May 31, 1942: Alexandria survives 4 airstrikes and a tank-attack with str 1 - next turn all 7 russian AFs are in range...let´s see if it survives this . Some US and UK armies land in England to protect it against Sealion - anywhere else it is quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 June 21, 1942: Massive german air deployment to France and Norway. Allied air retreats to Scotland while US and UK armies take defensive positions in London and Manchester area. With massive airsupport of 7 russian AFs Alexandria is liberated and the italian army annihilated - the population is celebrating excessively . Tech round - scientists were finally busy: LR 1 + Jets 3 for Russia, Jets 2 for UK and AT 1 for USA. Allies are collecting around 300 mpps/turn more than Axis and are superior in numbers since the start of Barbarossa. Since Russia has now bought all necessary research chits, it starts investing in air now: 8th AF built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terif Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 July 5, 1942: Axis transports along the english coast from Brest to Edinbourgh. Massive airbattles at Norway. Allies now land Bradley and his task force in England too - 14 allied ground units defending the island - several others waiting at sea . Near Alexandria the last 2 italian armies get destroyed, russian tanks move fast forward towards Tobruk. First airbattles near Kiev, Russia prepares the offensive by moving a dozen armies into strike range. 9th AF in service. At the end of the turn Russia gets jets 4. Since Russia alone is now technically, by numbers and ressources ahead of Axis, it would be able to beat them in a solo attempt even if England should fall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 July 19, 1942: Heavy airbattles around Scotland - 2 axis transports sunk. No landings in England up to now. 10 german AFs in service. Russian tanks in front of Tobruk. Russia starts its summer offensive at Kiev - next stop Berlin . Around 20 armies/tanks supported next turn by 9 AFs start the big battle.

zappsweden Posted July 3, 2005 Author Share Posted July 3, 2005 Unfortunately, I still only have Long Range L1 so my Sea-Lion will be much less effective and Allies will prolly win this game then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
