Terif Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Good allied move - the italian fleet is more or less lost. US corps at Gibraltar down to str 2. Both Gibraltar and Tangier defended by italian corps. Greece and Portugal surrender, Odessa captured. Axis forces block a russian transport near Romania. 2 new russian corps killed, the last remnants of the 9 russian starting armies removed except a last army south of Odessa. UK already at LR 2. Germany still LR 0, Jets 0. Scientists are lazy - executions have begun...perhaps now they will start working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellraiser Posted July 16, 2005 Author Share Posted July 16, 2005 Terif says he has lvl 1 IT. I do not have reasons not to believe him so far Allies reinforce 2 units in France and kill a german corps and maul another to 2. Germans counter with supported corps every turn in France. Germans capture Minsk; russia kills a spearheading tank in smolensk-minsk area; germans advance towards leningrad; In the west, allies kill 3 corps out of 15+ defending france Germans show AT2 - thiefs!!!

Avatar Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Gonna be uphill for you HR. Good job in france btw, but when Terif is left to cookie cutter, the game is usually lost. Mind you, Zapp did win a game... but luck could have been a factor there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 June 14, 1942: - central mine conquered. Russians countered near Smolensk and killed a 3 star german tank. But in return they lost 2 armies and half a dozen corps, nearly another german tank would have gotten the empty city of Kharkov, but a russian HQ blocked the path. German forces reach Leningrad. - in the west Allies are now slowly advancing towards Bordeaux and Paris. - Russian AFs show Jets 1 in the airbattle, but finally Germany catches up at the end of the turn: Jets 1 for Germany, LR still at lv 0. Research chits shifted now as Germany reached AT 2: both research chits sold and LR increased to 4 chits, Jets to 5 chits. Russia now also demonstrates LR 1 by killing an italian corps at Leningrad.

hellraiser Posted July 16, 2005 Author Share Posted July 16, 2005 july 42 Axis have too many units Russia kills a minor army and an italian corps near leningrad; Russia shows jets 1, LR 1 Allies kill another 2 corps and make contact with Bordeaux defender - slow grind in France since Terif slowplay axis there...Germany catches up to Jets 1 In east things look grim - russia has quite few units left and I lost count to german armies, corps and whatnot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatar Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 best method against terif in this case was probably to build mostly corps in russia, and hold the heavier pieces for later. there's little benefit to attacking terif in russia as he'll kill x2 as many units as you do his. at least corps cost little.

Terif Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 June 28, 1942: Yep, German war machine is gearing up...nearly 2:1 superior in unit numbers now (but mainly the 20+ corps in France... ). - Finland joins - Smolensk occupied - german air moves closer to the front - Russia shows AT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
