The naval battle near Spain developes to the biggest sea battle in history: 2 german cruisers and a sub attack the returning fleet from Gibraltar. One german sub sunk, the others damaged. Fortunately the entire UK navy protected the three carriers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted May 24, 2003 Author Share Posted May 24, 2003 April 1941 --- The Swedes get converted. I lost a unit there, opps. Out in the Atlantic, the German Navy lost a sub, I'm not happy about it. I call back my delayed SeaLion, was hoping for a little different tech, or it would have been a go.

German forces retreats from England and Egypt. No units in sighting range any more. UK ships return to Algier to continue bombarding the garrison.

Terif Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 July 1941: Finally UK scientists reach the same jet tech level as Germany: Jets Lv3. 6 german airfleets are now beating on England. Some turns ago a french army died in the bomb shower, now the airfleet entrenched in Manchester has been killed after Germany obviously got Long Range. Italian transports near Eqypt and Beirut.

Terif Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 November 30, 1941: The great war has begun... 8 german armies, 2 tanks, 3 corps and 4 airfleets + 2 minor armies invade Russia. Only weak forces: Axis had to pay a price for the airbattle over Britain . Alexandria and Bergen still Allied despite a big carrier-airbattle two turns ago at Bergen. Malta and surrounding UK dominated. Unfortunately Germany has at least Lv3 Long Range, probably Lv 4. UK transports have to be careful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted May 24, 2003 Author Share Posted May 24, 2003 Dec. 14, 1941 --- Terif's intelligence reports are accurate regarding Axis strengths & ideas. Iraq surrenders. This will help the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terif Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 March 1942: Axis moves another airfleet to Bordeaux. Immediately killed by UK airfleets and carriers.

Terif Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 April 4, 1942: Axis makes again the fault and moves airfleets into France. 4 airfleets appear around Bordeaux and Marseilles. Nothing left in Russia, therefore trench warfare in the east. Only Riga captured by Axis, but Russia also captured a rumanian oilfield, connected with a corps line to Odessa. UK air kills another airfleet in Bordeaux, naval forces move to Arcachon. Surprise, 2 cruisers and 2 subs are waiting there. A big naval battle is starting, UK calls all ships to battle, the Med and North Sea fleets return to the Atlantic... Allied landings in France, the second transport wave is waiting at the coast...

jon_j_rambo Posted May 25, 2003 Author Share Posted May 25, 2003 Allied air wipes out the German air again in France. I don't understand the combat rolls. I send in vetern units & they get wiped out. My naval units in supply do no damage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 May 3, 1942: Rambo surrendered after he lost the airbattle in France. UK lost one carrier and a battleship. Germany another 2 airfleets and a sub. Only a total of 3 german airfleets survived the battles. 2 Hqs, a corps and 4 armies landed in France. Reinforcements at the coast. Russia starts a counteroffensive and surrounds Riga. About his naval units not doing damage: Each ship did 5 strength damage to my armies, one of them was lost. No damage ? And when I striked back I only attacked his subs, they never do damage when attacked (defence value 0). They only dived a lot. About veteran air units getting wiped out: Mine were veteran too, but with Lv3 Jets this is not so important anyway. 3 airstrikes with Lv3 are enough to kill every air unit. In average the defender receives 6 damage. One medal experience reduces damage only by 0.5 points (not deciding in air battles), but if the attacker also has experience theres no difference. 3*6 = 18 and even a reinforced airfleet has only a maximum strength of 13. So really no luck if the airfleet gets killed. [ May 25, 2003, 03:49 AM: Message edited by: Terif ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
