Question: Barbarossa 1940


Recommended Posts

In case Axis really are so crazy to start Barbarossa already in 1940, just don´t let your russian units be killed in a fruitless forward defence and if you have the slightest clue what you are doing your Allies will surely win the war... ;)

If Axis have the suicidal tendency to attack in 1940, move your units a bit further back than usual and establish your defence line where Axis runs out of steem - usually at Vologda-Stalingrad-Rostov and Leningrad-Moskov or behind the river north of Moskov. The first few months Axis have the superior firepower, but this will only last a few moments...

Germanys only hope is that Russia starts a kamikaze-counterattack and/or leaves the important cities east of Moskov/Kharkov empty so they can kill most of the russian forces early while Axis is comparably strong and their forces in supply and advance fast eastwards. That means: never start such an unwise counterattack as Russia and don´t forget to protect your eastern cities against fast but light enemy spearheads !

Since Allies with such an early Barbarossa will outproduce Axis 2:1 or even 3:1 and more - as long as they don´t do something silly - it is only a matter of time till they will crush the Axis like a grapefruit... :D

A Barbarossa in 1940 means no Spain, probably no Egypt (and thus no Syria and Iraq), no Portugal...

Plus, if you move all UK units to the UK mainalnd, you can hit Germany early with a HQ, 2 armies, 1 tank and 2 corpses. Not much, but enough to get three-four top German unit's attention, troops that are needed in Russia.

The Axis don't have a change...
