SeaMonkey Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Now's the time Canuk, take Greece with the Germans, then they can place builds in Athens, this will be their primary Med base. Get the Italians(w/German help), Syria, Iraq, and Saudi and they can be a viable force in 43. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck_TAR Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 Jun'42 Med - Canadian DD sunk while trying to block Suez from axis AF's and Italian sub. Atlantic - quiet as Uboats refit and upgrade for further action. Russia - Intel reports russian forces are heavy entrenched from the mines east of Odessa. Looks like the main weight of the red forces are deployed to protect the rich southern part, leaving the North and Northeast cities weak. Have to adjust plan accordingly.

The K Man Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Aug 1942 The Russians decide to attack, since the Northern cities continue to fall. Two Anti-Tank divisions move on a Panzer division which meets its destruction. Two artillery & two armies take out a Romanian (2 tech IW) across the river. Another German army dug in the swamp is met with an escorted Tac bomber and destroyed by a tank. The tank also heavily damages an artillery division (down to 4.) East of Kiev a German Special forces unit is taken out by an Army and Tank division. A german counter attack is sure to follow. Another German U-boat is hunted down in the south atlantic. Obviously trying to draw off some of the allied navy. US will help in that area. Bombings of French cities has commensed again. Probably won't see too many AAR's from me the next two weeks since Vacation is approaching next week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHC decides to turn its attention to the South and orders the swing South by the Northern german arm. Syria taken by the Italians. Vichy unable to keep partisans in check is forced to by German forces........will fall next turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck_TAR Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 Sept '42 Eastern front - Russians on the move, take out 2 Pz Divs West of Odessa, city almost surrounded. GHC orders withdrawl into the mountains in Romania. In the far east Krahow (sp?) is under pressure as german troops stop advance east and swing South threatening to cut off russian advance. Med and Atlantic quiet. Main land Europe sees more allied bombing. Vichy taken by German forces. Reinforcements are the order of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The K Man Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 One more quick update before vacation... Sep 1942 Two more Panzer divisions are destroyed along with a Corp and two armies. More reinforcements march in... Bombings continue in the west. Three french cities are leveled. The weather is sure to slow us down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck_TAR Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 Sept '42 More blood on the Eastern front as the the axis forces counter attack, knocking out a ATG Bde, 1 Army group and a Tank Div. Air is in place to make the difference now. All other fronts quiet with the exception of the allied bombing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck_TAR Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 Kman back from vacation..............wars back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The K Man Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 "War waits for no one..." Entering 1943. The fall & early winter basicly saw the Russian troops pull back from their original offensives to regroup. Germans appear to be doing the same. A small offensive by the Germans near the city north of Rostov (Vor) is repelled for the moment as the army is destroyed (in low supply.) Russia has one indestructible partisan (now at strength one) continuing on the move near Riga. More partisans come to help. Bombings continue as the weather clears for a turn in the west on the French cities. The italian corp defending Caen is hit with squadrians of fighters... Another Italian (engineer) near Kiel is also damaged from fighters/bombardments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The K Man Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 July 1943 The best way to describe this summer in one word is: "Bloodbath." (I wish I had the time to describe this battle in Russia with attacks back and forth. Most in the area of Kharkov & Vor.) Russia has knocked out about 5-6 Panzer units and 4 armies. Unknown amount of corps. The axis has kia'd 2 Russian tanks, 3 AT's, 1 artillery, and an unknown amount of armies & corps. Total count for the entire war stands somewhere with 36 Russian losses and 31 German... The last turn Archangel has just fallen... But the allies have landed in France at Caen. All the French cities had been bombed to zero, including the country of Benelux and the city of Hamburg. Also two turns ago the axis navy has started the uboat campaign again. Allied navy does find one patrol and damages it good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arado234 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Sounds to me like the Axis may be starting to crumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The K Man Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 No, axis has been making a dent (on the eastern front.) But then so has Russia. Both sides have basicly been killing everyone off on that strip near Kharkov. (With neither side willing to give any or back down.) It almost seems like we may both end up with a couple of corps left to battle it out. (Be like a chess board with two kings...) But we all know that won't happen, and the reinforcements will continue to pour in. Aug 1943 Last turn, Kharkov falls for the first time. The tank divison that destroyed the Russian Tac bomber, has been destroyed on a counter attack of Artillery and a Russian tank division. Lost also to Russia the turn before were about 3 corps, and an army. Reinforcements are the word of the day...The Russians sit fortifications south of Kharkov... Meanwhile the damaged U-boat evades detection by the allied navy. The German Cruiser that moved out of port to let the evacuated Corp from Brest in, is sunk off the French/Spain coast. Allied troops move deeper into France. The unoccupied city of Brest is liberated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck_TAR Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 Awwww...........had to find out I lost my Pz Div the hard way. Been back and forth. Have to deal with the Allies in France at the moment.......did they wait to late? Sept '43, we will see. Eastern front has been fun..........both sides are hurting on the troop side with more reinforcments coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The K Man Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Mid Sept 1943 The attacks in the east are starting to petter out...(I don't believe I destroyed any Germans on the eastern front, the turn before. An army garrising Kharkov was heavily damaged to 2.) They decided to retreat next turn. The corp that replaced him was not so lucky...Kia. We choose not to reoccupy the empty city of Kharkov, since a counter attack would be sure to follow... Partisans are rising up. One unit in Russia in each of the last two turns south of Lenigrad. Yugoslavia has a couple running loose. Germans have had to send in some reinforcements (German Corp) to help with the situation. A german sub had been waiting in the strait near Kiel. Two destroyers and an aircraft carrier sink it. Another French city is liberated (for a total of 3.) Allies strike at a corp Northwest of Paris. The bombings continue in Paris & Frankfurt...

Canuck_TAR Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 Germans regroup in the East, with the forces from Archangel coming into line. Kharkov left empty as its to full of the dead from both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The K Man Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Oct 1943: Fall is now here. Bad weather approaches on both fronts. In the east. Both armies appear to be regrouping & consolidating after a most brutal summer of fighting. Fairly quiet there...except for the Partisans near Lenigrad... In the west. The action has shifted to here, as the Germans & Italians move more troops in. (The Italians are no slouches either, having been upgraded to 2 IW & 2 AT.) The allies continue the attacks southwest of Paris. A German army and Tank division are destroyed along with an Italian corp. More troops move in. The Yugoslavian partisans are finnally destroyed near Albania. They were one step from the open city there, but a bomber was brought in to block its path. Unfortunately no damage could be done on it. Atlantic is quiet at this point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The K Man Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Dec 1943 Still pretty quiet. Some small fighting in France with Air grounded due to weather. UK paratroopers, are holding on for their lives. An Italian army is now also, doing the same... A U-boat spotted in the North Atantic (who had escaped the depth charges before) is sunk this time around. Also the allied navy accidently runs into a German Battleship in the channel north of Benelux. At a two strength to begin with, the allies are extremely puzzled at what he was doing out there in the open. He is quickly sunk. (Maybe he was going to start laying some mines...) Again the only action on the Russian front are the partisans. (We have 4 currently running loose.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck_TAR Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 Partisans being a royal pain in the.............. German BB was sent on a suicide mission to block N access till fresh troops could be placed into position. Italians are making a good stand with fresh troops on the way. Quiet in the east as strength is rebuilt after bloody fighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The K Man Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 May 1944. Paris has been liberated this past April. A corp division lands at the port of Kiel and takes control. Allies now have access to the Baltic sea. Copenhagen is now cut off. The allies bombard Hamburg... As the allies approach Benulux, a German Cruiser stationed there leaves before being caught in port, but runs into an American Battleship. It is quickly sunk next turn. The Germans have gotten control of the Partisans in the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaMonkey Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Dammit Canuck, at the top of this page you had control, what happened? Excellent play K-man, sounds like a fun game going here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The K Man Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Thanks, yes it has been a fun game. In that summer of 43, I've never seen that much killing on both sides for such a long period. It was a wild ride, back and forth. Russia is proving to be a hard area to crack. Summer of 44 should also prove interesting. But of course the US & UK are now more involved.

The K Man Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 July 1944 Germans are now in retreat on the eastern front. Moscow has been retaken as well as the recently vacated Gorky and Vologda. Russian forces are closing in on Smolensk. On the western front, a UK army and US army has been destroyed southwest of Paris. If memory serves me right, a couple of German corps, German army and some italian units have been destroyed. The German destroyer is sunk in the port of Copenhagen. I believe only the Bismark remains. There are no more convoys coming into Germany. The cities in western Germany continue to be bombed and bombarded...
