Terif Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 September 1, 1940: Germany again has 2 hexes in LC, Allies try to kill a german army at the coast near Brussel (expected losses: 10) but it survives airstrikes, bombardement by french cruiser and tank attack at str 3 so it made no sense to send a UK ship into port for bombardement since it was not possible any more to finish it off. In Egypt french forces left Suez and retreat to Beirut so Suez can fall to Italy - some UK reinforcements were on the way via Suez, but since Egypt was lost already it was better to send them back .

zappsweden Posted July 9, 2005 Author Share Posted July 9, 2005 Despite a few doubtful moves the last while, Axis now conquers First Blood Hex. Axis loses one air in an air duel. Allies lines on the brink of collaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Yep, time for evacuation comes closer - but Allies still holding Brussel and the defence line to Paris. Alexandria under siege. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zappsweden Posted July 9, 2005 Author Share Posted July 9, 2005 French tank in Brussels put on his running shoes and get the hell out of there, transported to UK. Allies abandon Maginot and form a line near Paris. Egypt and Suez belong to Italy.

Terif Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 January 5, 1941: Evacuation time - everyone into the boats . Only 8 corps and an army left for defence purposes around Paris. Meantime all carriers are practicing at Bergen again after the german Norway-AF moved towards France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 March 2, 1941: Germany moves several AFs to Norway - heavy airbattles with UK AFs and carriers. Alexandria falls. Since most german air is out of reach of Paris, Allies decide to stay another turn and evacuate some more troops . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zappsweden Posted July 9, 2005 Author Share Posted July 9, 2005 German air intercept near Bergen and once again Allied navy back off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 March 30, 1941: The allied attack at Bergen did its purpose - France hold one more turn so Allies were able to evacuate nearly every unit. Only a str 4 french corps left in Paris for defence . In Londons street some protests are going on concerning too much foreign immigrants...a lot more french units are living now in England than english ones .

Terif Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 July 27, 1941: Everything quiet except italian ships bombarding Gibraltar...but they bombarded one turn too long : Italian cruiser sunk by a UK task force, Caio battleship surounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 August 24, 1941: Italian battleship destroyed - no allied losses in the operation. Barbarossa is close: USA 67%, Russia 87%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terif Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 October 5, 1941: Barbarossa started - all russian tanks, 3 armies and 2 AFs escaped. Only 9 german armies, 4 corps and 4 AFs were attacking Russia. Nevertheless Germany demonstrates LR 2 by killing the 3rd russian AF. Italy at AT 1. Vichy got attacked simultaneously, Marseilles and Beirut conquered, but Algier free - no invaders there since the allied fleet was waiting. Now Allies attack Sicily, transports looking for open cities . Unfortunately USA stayed out of the war with 98% and additionally Finland joined the first turn. But even without USA, Allies already are 3:2 superior in numbers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terif Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 November 2, 1941: Germany already at least at lv 3 LR - without any catch-up. But won´t help them since Allies are now with USA 2:1 superior in numbers... UK forces occupy Tripolitania, small naval battle near Sicily - but since 2 german AFs are estimated nearby, allied navy retreats - only Vichy cruiser lost. Spanish forces fortify their capital. No russian city lost, german forces retreat behind the river near Königsberg and russian forces follow them - damaging a german army + italian corps while establishing a defence line behind the river. Airbattles over Finland, russian forces approaching Helsinki. Other russian AFs attack axis forces near Iraq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zappsweden Posted July 9, 2005 Author Share Posted July 9, 2005 Mistake by Axis. Operated away Garrison from Sicily to avoid bombards but forgot to operate it back turn after. UK transport take Sicily empty City. Maybe I should browse through everything 2-3 times to not miss anything so that my turns take 10+ minutes like Yoda is doing now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Your turns ARE taking 10+ minutes - not to mention phone calls, eating etc... However, game will perhaps not take so long any more (in turns) - Allies 2:1 superior in numbers, ahead several hundred mpps/turn and just rescuing Iraq... Italian corps in Iraq destroyed, russian tanks only 2 hexes away from Baghdad to save the iraqi defenders. US fighters operate into Iraq too and help the cause. Iraq should be save next turn. All finish defenders destroyed too except one corps in the capital. 3 german AFs in Romania waiting for a turkey invasion fleet that will never come .

Terif Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 January 11, 1942: - Finland surrenders to Russia - Portugal Dowed and surrenders to UK - Yugoslavia coups: Yugoslavian forces liberate Hungary, Greek forces unite with the yugoslavian troops - Iraq siege ended, russian tanks and armies operate into Iraq so Axis will loose its remaining 7 units there too in the next 1-2 turns. - Spain still holding, but Madrid should fall next turn - conquered Sicily fortified and used as base for more invasions: transports swarming the eastern med.

zappsweden Posted July 9, 2005 Author Share Posted July 9, 2005 Yugoslavia couped?!, I did not even know they would when I had conquered the Minors. So, Yugo corps take empty Hungary. Allies have L3 Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
