jon_j_rambo Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 Allies - 1) Same old early game... 2) Poland is finished quicker this game. 3) Ireland hit by 2-carriers per turn. 4) Chasing those subs, damn, lost RN ship. 5) French dig 6) UK sends Corps. 7) Canadians dig in France. 8) French HQ was bought on turn #1, sold stuff to get it. 9) RAF in London w/ Monty.

zappsweden Posted December 20, 2003 Author Share Posted December 20, 2003 Turn 5: First Blood Hex is not empty (French Army died). Axis build up forces and do not run into traps (hopefully). I need patience and accuracy to neutralize the huge UK handicap cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 March 1940 - First Blood Hex is blasted by the Nazis, kiss one French Army goodbye. Zapp is playing the slow, conversative method this time. Trying not to lose any units while gaining experience for the Panzers & Luftwaffen.

jon_j_rambo Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 Fall 1940 - Gee, the quiet period is sooo exciting as the Allies. So, I've been doing intercepts against the Luftwaffen over London's port, now a rocket shows up. Lots of Luftwaffen over the Channel. Italians have landed East of Alexandria & West of the Suez with a Corp. 2-ships too are hitting the coastline there. I decided not to give Malta up just yet. I placed RAF in Malta & a couple of ships & carrier are South of Sicily. They'll be running, I'm sure he'll have Luftwaffen there next turn.

zappsweden Posted December 20, 2003 Author Share Posted December 20, 2003 Early 1941: Sweden is now Axis. Allied navy showed up near Sicily but Luftwaffe rushed to the scene and drove them off. In the mediterranean (south of Greece), a Italian transport run into a UK cruiser. Apparently, Allies kept navy in the mediterranean. Brest is under axis attacks. No rush, I want some practice first. London Port is blown up. London air retreats and is replaced by a corps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 Getting late in Sweden, so Zapp had to go. Yes, I have a cruiser North of Crete. A wandering Italian transport hit him. There's 3-Italian ships at Egypt who will no doubt search & destroy. to be continued... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curry Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 ROCKETS - !!!! Has the Air King Zapp become a Rocket convert? I remember when Zapp said this about Rockets. - What thought goes through your mind when you see your opponent rolling up an Axis rocket close to London? Newbie... This game looks very interesting now, best of luck to you both, good AAR so far. Interesting.

zappsweden Posted December 22, 2003 Author Share Posted December 22, 2003 we are BACK! March 1941: One Of the 2 found Allied ship in the mediterranean is sunk. West of Siciliy, an Allied ship shows up but he is sunk by Luftwaffe. Egypt is holding well against Axis. Bergen and Brest are still Allied.

jon_j_rambo Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Yes, I sacrificed a couple of ships in the MedFront, trying to delay the Axis. Didn't do much. Also, put extra corps in Egypt, to delay there too. Gotta try something new once in awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zappsweden Posted December 22, 2003 Author Share Posted December 22, 2003 June 1941: Vichy, Spain and Portugal still neutral. Luftwaffe now supporting Egypt invasion. Bergen and Brest are now Axis. Yugoslavia couped but will fall soon. Two Axis Rockets bombarding London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zappsweden Posted December 22, 2003 Author Share Posted December 22, 2003 Allies Surrendered. Rambo got PUNKED this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Rambo surrenders. Not a good situation. Axis has this one in the bag, too much MMP's. What happened: 1) Romania joining in early Fall 1940, gave the Germans alot of MMP's. It spells diaster when they enter that soon. 2) MedFront strategy failed. I'm not surprised, no supply. I put alot of MMPs into corps for Egypt, they were toast. 3) Readiness values were real low when I surrendered in July 1941. Russia only 55%. That means Zapp could wait on Barbarossa for 8 more turns. He's getting 400 MMPs per turn. 8 x 400 = 3200. Russia's 3800 wouldn't help. 4) UK got no technology. That's a waste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
