The K Man Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Turn 100 coming up. Feb 1943. British are caught off guard by Italian paratrooper (good move & unexpected.) Supply is cut down low for the remaining HQ and troops in Libya. But as bleak as things seemed, O'connor is able to regroup the remaining troops. The brave Italian paratroopers are cut down and one German corp is destroyed. Italian army transport indeed is sunk in the waters (he will not be given a chance to fight.) In Russia, counterattacks continue as the Panzer II's are demolished by the T-34's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The K Man Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Devasting turn for the Axis. Russians counterattack with a vengeance (for all their fallen comrades.) Turns into quite a bloodbath...Fortunately for the axis, the rain slows the attack. It could have been worse... Attacks proceed in the desert as well on both fronts. US starts attack on Tripoli. O'Connor has not fled, but knocks out another German unit (revenge for the destruction of the 7th armored division.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The K Man Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Konigs is a tough opponent...He has also played an excellant game. Russia frees Kharkov from axis troops but unable to regain control. The battles continue on front. More Germans are destroyed. UK pulls back its forces to Eygpt. US continues advance into Libya. Takes Tripoli.

The K Man Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Allies wrapping up operations in Africa. Last remnant of German attack force is destroyed in the desert. All that remains are two HQ's. Commando operation is brought about to sink that pesky Italian Sub in Tobruk port (since the airforces nor ship bombardments did any damage previous turn.) Plans being drawn up for next operation... Meanwhile on the Russian front, things are still relatively quiet for July 43. (Probably due to the amount of offensives during the winter of 42/43.)

The K Man Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 September 1943. The Allies have struck in France. Brest is the first city liberated on the Freedom march. Allies also strike at the Italian Airforces on Sicily. Both fighter groups are caught on the ground and are wiped out before they are able to fly...It will be extremely tough for Italy to replace these... Some more skirmishes on the Russian front. More Germans are KIA... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
