zappsweden Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 PRE: Scenario : UK defends Egypt version 0.8 Bidding : none. Zappsweden (Axis). Terif (Allies). "1939 UK defend Egypt version 0.8" This scenario is pretty much like the 1939 Fall Weiss scenario. The difference is that Allies have more power in Egypt so defence of mediterranean is not hopeless for the Allies. Furthermore, Poland is slightly stronger and UK+France have worse starting positions for their air units. This means LC gambit is hard for Allies to perform i.e Germany can commit in Poland a bit longer. Scenario made by Zappsweden.

jon_j_rambo Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 Sept. 17, 1939 --- Allied forces mobilized after massive Nazi forces bang on Poland & invade Denmark. Combined Allied naval units build a task force to hunt subs (+2 tech, in this Mod.). Draft boards enlist young men in UK, to be sent to France.

zappsweden Posted June 1, 2003 Author Share Posted June 1, 2003 Turn 2: The Axis subs in this scenario are on L2 instead of L1 so they are +1 tech. Poland choses an agressive stance. Axis took Copenhagen and Warsaw on turn 2 and both countries surrendered. [ June 01, 2003, 10:14 AM: Message edited by: zappsweden ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 Oct. 1939 --- Here comes the bad luck. Zapp's infantry attack on the Army in Warsaw comes out just perfect. Denmark & Poland have fallend, nothing to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_j_rambo Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 This is unbelievable: Zapp's corps do 3-damage, take none? Both his subs dive their way out of trouble, & kill French-Battleship. His Armies do 4-damage on an entrenched French Army. Russian readiness is only 34%? Tanks do another 4-damage, take none theirselves. This is not good, need a plan.

zappsweden Posted June 1, 2003 Author Share Posted June 1, 2003 Mars, 1940: 2 french armies, 1 canadian army, All UK air (3 units in southern france) and UK mediterranean carrier attacked Rome (entrenchment 4, why the hell does not Rome start at entrenchment 6?) and another corps took Rome. Unstoppable? I have to analyze that situation after the game. [ June 01, 2003, 11:23 AM: Message edited by: zappsweden ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zappsweden Posted June 1, 2003 Author Share Posted June 1, 2003 May 26, 1940: France surrenders. Axis forces still in northern Italy. Allies have been very passive after Italy fell. They could have used their Italy plunder and loads MPP income to exchange air casualties with Germany. Now with France gone, at leist Axis has equal MPP than Allies. Nevertheless, Allies have a very big advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 Summer 1940 --- Actually, the UK-air was busy taking Ireland. Then I attack German air in LC. Ground forces in Northern Italy in some fierce fighting. I lost UK-army, this is new terrain to battle in, supply is tricky.

Sicily was recaptured some time ago (and is under Italian control). Allied landings near Denmark and Brest. The Denmark one was unlucky. Wiped out by lots of Axis air units.
