jon_j_rambo Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 By the way folks, I'm the best player in SC when you take "Win-Loss Record x Speed of Play". There are some slow ass players out there that bogged SC down. I play fast & kick serious ass. Slowest player in SC history: DragonHeart!!!

zappsweden Posted July 25, 2004 Author Share Posted July 25, 2004 Turn 2: Axis gambled and operated lots of units west after taking Warsaw. Poland surrendered with lots of units alive (plus polish air in Canada). Allies do the HQ Mine strategy in France. Billote is in the French Mine and surrounded by french armies for protection. Allies playing cautious along the LC border reinforcing to strength 10 hopiing to withstand German attacks next turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 November 1939 --- - Yes, I do gamble, FBH (First Blood Hex) taken & it should hold. - Manstein signs a contract, shows up in the heat of the battle, in Brussells! - Here comes Legend in France.

jon_j_rambo Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 January 1940 --- - Ground in France is expensive, Germans lost an Army, both Panzers damaged, forced to retreat for repairs. - UK invested in an Army, it was buried. - Germans buy fresh new Army, it's in FBH. Tough ground war. - Ireland resistance movement continues. - subs are done in the Atlantic, damaged a RN to strength-2, that's it. - Denmark still being pinged.

zappsweden Posted July 25, 2004 Author Share Posted July 25, 2004 Spring 1940: Allies only lost First Blood Hex so far, looking good. Oh, did I forget to mention that both the Atlantic subs sank a while ago but only after they almost sank my UK cruiser. UK/French navy approach Denmark to support the defence. So farm, Axis have not used any air support in Denmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 March 1940 --- - Finally, did some damage on the ground. Captured the Western Ardennes, key French Army destoryed. - Refreshed Panzer advances into the Ardennes, attacks Frech-HQ sitting in mine (Billote 1-star). - LF hits Billote too, he'll have to retreat now. - Germans have 3-HQs, 3-LF, 2-Panzers, 5-Armies (1-rebuy). Been spending all my MMP's on repairs for ground units. - Denmark still not taken, forced to use LF on the French. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zappsweden Posted July 25, 2004 Author Share Posted July 25, 2004 July 1940: Axis reach Paris. Italy join. Allies sink one Italian cruiser in Sicily port. Monty is controlling 2 air units in Southern UK. Another German army destroyed near the French north coast (bombard plus air strikes). Allies operate from the partly surrounded Maginot (before too late). One french army is left behind in French Mine, could not operate due to low supply. Ireland clear from defenders, will fall soon.
