Lars Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Gave the Kiwi the Axis. Pretty standard opening. Poland, he went for the AF with a Tank. Down to strength 2, not worth reinforcing. Everything else took hits too. The Corps and Army did get a free shot on a HQ though. On the other end of the map, French dinged his Corps up on the Siegfried line. USSR received Infrastructure 1 right out of the gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 USSR getting tech already?? R u reloading??!! I am determined not to repeat Jon's mistakes and dilute attacks to the point where minors and France hold out for far too long!

Guest Mike Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 that's all right Jon - I'm using my game with you for pointers against Lars, so fair's fair! I've already decided not to invade Syria!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Poland falls on Schedule (T3 - take note Jon! ), and troops start redeploying westwards........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 Yep, Poland takes a dirt nap. Not much else to report. But the UK hits Intel 1. Getting good tech rolls here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I'll just have to come over and borrow it then! Actualy you probably got that 'cos Germany got intel 1 last turn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Today it was announced that nothing much happened. Except Il Duce was so impressed with the Whermacht's swift conquest of Poland that he has decided that Germany is invincible and is preparing to join the fray. Troops deploy west, Germany develops infrastructure and it's muddy everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolend Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 God how I hate Mud, I would rather have snow, sure seems like some years there is only about 2 or 3 good weeks of weather to have a good fight in Keep the AAR going this sounds like it could get interesting.

Lars Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 It's going to take forever at this rate, we're on opposite sides of the globe. One turn a day, maybe two. This will be a thinking man's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lars Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 Hush you. And send a turn so I can finish your crushing. Stalin seems to be going for an early France. Lots of stuff showing up on the French border in Op moves and Italy is coming in early. We'll see if the mpp cost doesn't come back to bite him in the end. Also, UK gets Heavy Bomber 1.

Guest Mike Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I didn't spend any MPP's on Italy However the mud turned to snow, and I screwed up the invasion of Denamrk - forgetting that amphibs can't unload in snow, so the Danes will survive longer than they deserve! :mad: :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mike Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Copenhagen holds again dammit - and it's snow again so still no Amphib!! Still hte Kriegsmarine gets a hit or 2 on the city cutting down hte Danish supply level and hence also their reinforcements. DoW on the Low countries but appalling combat results see only minimal damage on the garrison of the Hague! :mad: :mad: The Italians come across hte Alps, and don't lose a single elephant doing so.

Lars Posted May 12, 2006 Author Share Posted May 12, 2006 Hmm, shall I let the Amphib live another turn or sortie the Limeys? Hmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Posted May 12, 2006 Author Share Posted May 12, 2006 Amphib landed in Denmark, so I didn't get a shot at it. However, the Danes and the Low Countries provided spotting on the German Subs, so the combined UK/French fleet goes in and dings up the Subs. Better now than when the BB's show up, eh? Stalin got lucky on some diving and the storms helped protect him too, only did 7 in total damage. All those Subs withdrawn to Kiel this early, I think somebody put money into Advanced Subs.

Guest Mike Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 All the subs stay live & I kill one French cruiser - but Copenahgen and Brussels still survive :mad: :mad: I hope it's eating up some of his MPP's 'cos it's pissing me off no end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Posted May 12, 2006 Author Share Posted May 12, 2006 Danes and Low Country hold out again! UK sees Sub, sinks same. Knocks another down to 1 next to Copenhagen, and down to 4 next to Keil. Also, bottles up the Skaggerak, which will really tick Stalin off, as he just loaded up an Army in amphib. On the front lines, French bloody both German Panzers, partially withdraw from Maginot, and hit the Italians as well. In order to more perfectly simulate French/UK discord over strategy, Lars goes to get another beer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 No - that Army was the one that you thought had already unloaded - you haven't been paying proper attention! Any ticking off 'cos of hte Danes is more than countered by a Massacre of the French and the capture of the Hague this turn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 Germans go through the French like bad brie. Would have been like bad Camembert if the tankers were still around, but they pulled back to put the wheels back on. French navy gets their revenge by hitting all troops in Denmark and the Danes continue to hold. RN hits and runs as there's no point in sticking around, the Kriegsmarine has wisely run away.

Guest Mike Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 The germans continue to go through the French, and wheeless panzers come back to aid the capture of Paris - France surrenders and there's a bonus MPP haul Denmark also finally sees sense and gives up. It's May 1940....hmmm...where to now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 Hey, the Danes didn't give up! You bombed the snot out of them! :mad: The surrender monkeys go down though. Hard. Stalin's winter offensive paid off in spades. Didn't get a single Free French out of the deal or a chance to get the AF out of there. Stupid Frogs... But made him work for it at least, he did get bruised. Hope the plunder doesn't repair everything in one turn. UK get Long Range 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
