Guest Mike Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Progress is being made in Iraq, but the whole battlefield is turning around as the Finns sneakily capture Archangel! A quiet turn - presume John is rebuilding a few units, maybe shipping reinforcements to hte Mid-east..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Axis invades Portugal - looks like he's about to conquer Spain perhaps? Nothing happens in Iraq - we're happy that it is now the world's largest POW camp for Italians! Germans move to take Sevastopol - they lose a few points but the garrison can only be reinforced to 5, so it's doomed - Russian fleets try to help but achieve little. Germans circle Leningrad again - Finns come in to help - plenty of losses on hte Axis side, not much for the good guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Spinello Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I second that. My favorite so far: Neocolonialist Italian infantry oppressors of the peace loving Iraqi peoples get roughly handled by brave Soviet liberators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 The peace loving Iraqi peoples have been seduced by imperialist fascist propaganda and foolishly blew up their own oil wells last turn. Brave Soviet liberators will bring peace and prosperity to the area shortly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_j_rambo Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 Tide has turned in this puppy. Italians were cornered in Kuwait, but German forces from Israel are on the move! Red Army was forced to operand back to the Motherland after Germany's capture of Moscow! The Reds are taking damage from the very strong LF working from the 2-mines (which are mine). Lennigrad is surrounded & has been pinged for the last 4+ turns, expected to fail soon. The Germans are strong in Russia, he tried a counter attack, but lost Armor, Army, & Corp to a focus small Army with large Air support. In the West, the RN is garbage, trashed earlier in the game. Thus, Subs raid 40-55 MMPs per turn from Canada. The RAF & USAF bomb my cities, but anti-Air is being installed. Italian Navy broke thru The Rock (Gibralter). UK doesn't have much punch after the initial failed landings in the LC. We've yet to hear from the Americans, but I'm sure it will be air only, since the Atlantic is my personal private pond. Axis has this game in bag, unless he has nukes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 It's been a few days 'cos I forgot I'd disconnected my modem & couldn't figure out why I couldn't get to the net!! Anyway - John's mighty airforce wiped out a few units, but they're all coming back without any trouble in a few months, and he's given up Moscow and Rostov....seems his tightly focused army can't be tightly focused everywhere at once! Italians and Germans advance on Baghdad, but that's OK too, since all those units aren't in Russia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rclawson007 Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 A German advance from Iraq is difficult to supply. I tried that once and got the HQ stuck in the one tile surrounded by mountains and the marsh. I looks like its only 5 MP from the oil well, but the game doesn't see it that way and put the HQ out of supply. Maybe two HQs in Iraq would give enough mussle to punch through and establish a base in Russia. It will be interesting to see if jj can pull off an Iraq base advance.

jon_j_rambo Posted June 17, 2006 Author Share Posted June 17, 2006 Russians have Moscow & Rostov back. I gave them back, meanwhile, the LF counters against advancing Red Army Tanks...we blast 3 of them over a period of a couple of turns. LF is sharing their Long Range to pick of key units. Few turns later, Red Air Force showed up to support another Communist advance. The LF (along with Italian & Romanian Air) quickly destroyed those Commie units Down in Iraq, the Italians are saved! With the taking of Moscow & Rostov, the Reds bought their desert army home, thus, Gerry could counter from Israel & take Bagdad. We destroyed 3 corps in the process. Up in Army Group North, Lennigard is finally taken. RAF hits ports. German subs destroy 50 MMPs from Canada per turn. USA has yet to much of anything.

Guest Mike Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Nah - hte Desert army was never bought home - it was just left in the desert to see how much you'd put up against it! LW temporarily wipes out the VVS, but they took a lot more hits doing it than they've taken in a long time. All destroyed units are beign rebuilt, Tank group in Rostov sadly marginally fails to destroy a Corps with 1 hit, more suprises due next turn from the West.....

jon_j_rambo Posted June 17, 2006 Author Share Posted June 17, 2006 Stalin is doing alot of rebuilding. Rostov recaptured. Moscow recaptured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted June 18, 2006 Author Share Posted June 18, 2006 October 1943 --- Germans are capturing cities I've never heard of in Russia. Oil well & city grabbed in Southern Russia. Forces are beside Lennigrad, just a matter of weather now. Russia is doomed. In the West, we begin beefing up some areas. Subs raid Canada runs. Allies are doomed.

Guest Mike Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Yep it's no looking so good for comrade Joseph - can e have a "no Sov union surrender" script??!! Damned sneaky tech 1 mot 2 tanks snuck through a gap in the Caucasus & started the ball rolling capturing a city & the rebuilds are (cough) a little late arriving A few armies are appearing as Garrisons in Europe replacing Corps against the possibility of invasion. But what the heck - B36's are on their way shortly!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 GAME OVER! Russians are done, put a fork in them. Moscow, Stalingard, Lennigrad, Ural capital, and all the Southern oil/cities. Too much Legend. LF dominated this game. I had LR+4, Jets+4, and maxed out on LF total units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Yeah - couldn't stand agaisnt the LW - not even though the sov's invented the 262 before the LW did - any hex John liked he just hit it with 5 or 6 Lw and a couple of minor air fleets then just moved in a ground unit - ouch! well done John.

jon_j_rambo Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 My ground forces in Russia were rather weak, but concentrated. Stalin had strong tanks, but with the Long Range technology, I was able to pop key Russian units. Yes, it was a good game. Stalin played agressive & caused me problems. He can have choice of side next game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
