zappsweden Posted November 23, 2004 Author Share Posted November 23, 2004 Turn 1: Axis failed breakthrough. Atlantic subs are raiding. Ireland is pinged. [ November 23, 2004, 10:43 AM: Message edited by: zappsweden ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Axis turn 2: Same procedure as every game with Zapp...again the same old/obsolete strategy: UK air around London, french HQ built...but hey, there is a change : Allies DoW Ireland turn 1. Poland: 2 units killed, armies build a ring around Warsaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zappsweden Posted November 23, 2004 Author Share Posted November 23, 2004 Turn 2: Monty in the UK having one air fleet under his command. Billote in France countering German tank across the LC border. Munich is Allied (I knew it was empty by counting units). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Axis turn 3: The allied player make the mistake many unexperienced players do and attacks the german tank. So the french armies get heavily damaged, Germany kills the Ardennes army, moves deep into France and even occupies the french mins since Maginot is empty too because of taking Munich. Denmark corps destroyed, city will fall next turn. Warsaw conquered, but the last 4 polish units refuse to surrender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zappsweden Posted November 23, 2004 Author Share Posted November 23, 2004 The counter was cotsly, Ardenner forest was lost i.e French Army killed. Allies Abandon Munich. Both Atlantic subs found and damaged. Pros: Germany only have one strong army west, tank is damaged. Western LC hex is Allied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Axis turn 4: 3 polish units destroyed, the last survivor surrenders. Denmark surrrenders. Munich retaken. Air repositions towards Paris. Atlantic: 3 UK ships damaged, subs will be sunk next turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zappsweden Posted November 23, 2004 Author Share Posted November 23, 2004 My air strategy is revised this time, waited a whole 3 turns before operating that second air from Malta->UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Axis turn 5 (January 7, 1940): UK corps destroyed, hex SW Brussel conquered, Elbow taken. Veterans from Polen operate west. One of the subs was a good diver and survived one more turn - in a last kamikaze attack it slightly damages a 4th UK ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zappsweden Posted November 23, 2004 Author Share Posted November 23, 2004 Zapp goes wild and do another counter on Ardenner. Axis take french Mine because of it. Conclusion: That first counter I did was very risky. I will most likely lose this game. I will most likely give up soon too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Axis turn 6 (March 3, 1940): The french mine-army attacks a german tank in the Ardennes and gets killed in the counter. Mine german occupied. Another french army near Brussel heavily damaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zappsweden Posted November 23, 2004 Author Share Posted November 23, 2004 Allies make a wild attack retaking the French Mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Axis turn 7 (March 31, 1940): Allies attack with everything the french mine (attackers reduced up to str 4...) and can kill the german tank there with the last attack. UK corps killed, 2nd french hex conquered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonheart Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Zapp, i dont wanna critizize or bothering you but when the bid is 265 why do you play that risky in france? Help out the frenchies with corps...or make a french corpsdefence itself....you will get 1325 USA MPP´s and 5300 russian MPP!! But this wont help you if france is down in May or even earlier.

Terif Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Axis turn 8 (April 28, 1940): Next UK corps killed - german forces moving along the empty coast. First units 2 hexes away from Paris. The french capital is again undefended - if Germany had tried to kill a french army with 4 air and had succeded that would have meant Game-over for France...

zappsweden Posted November 23, 2004 Author Share Posted November 23, 2004 You are right Dragonheart I just wanted to damage that tank and then go on playing defensive. Just one little innocent counter... [ November 23, 2004, 11:37 AM: Message edited by: zappsweden ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Axis turn 9 (May 26, 1940): German corps at the coast lost, but a french army gets killed too - Germany again 2 hexes near the empty Paris, this time in the center near the mine.

Terif Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Axis turn 10 (June 16, 1940): Allies gamble again and leave Paris empty - only a new bought corps between the german forces and the city...bad combat results at the beginning force Germany to abandon the attack and kill another french corps instead. So luck saved Paris this turn, but next turn Germany will reach the outskirts of the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Axis turn 11 (June 30, 1940): German tank reaches the outskirts of Paris with a str 7 HQ in the city. Unfortunately the HQ survives 3 attacks (tank + 2 AFs) by taking minimum damage in each attack. Italy will join next turn. Ireland abandoned - will fall in 1-2 turns (no UK transports nearby).

Terif Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Axis turn 12 (July 14, 1940): 2 french corps killed, mine conquered. Reinforcing the AFs, preparing to attack Paris - now defended by a french army. Italian navy trains at Malta - french corps on the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zappsweden Posted November 23, 2004 Author Share Posted November 23, 2004 Malta Garrison disbanded, no Target Practice... I had so little MPP so could not afford sending ot from Malta the turn before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Axis turn 13 (July 28, 1940): According to the report and since France bought last turn a corps with only 107 mpps cash: Beirut corps disbanded too - bad exchange rate . All french ships already disbanded a long time ago - no french survivors in England. Another 2 french corps killed - Paris should fall next turn. Marseilles italian. Since the beginning, both UK AFs attack (to use the AA bonus of London) or intercept every turn - so UK could not save mpps too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
