Exciting, keep us updated how it goes.
In my experience mech units lose there strength pretty quickly so I personally prefer 5 arm corps to 6 mech corps.
Retreating seems to work pretty well but one needs to fight a little bit. Check Stjeand AAR we are playing now.
How I wish there was a replay ...

August 1 1941

And the southern part of the front.

August 1 1941

A disaster turn best forgotten :D In the north the Soviets invade and advance in the south of Finland basically putting all axis units in Finland out of supply. Any plan of cutting winter lend lease has to be abondoned.

Around Leningrad the advance continues ...

Yes of course you are right this is not the first turn of lend lease, odd.

Digital Adolfs sweet dream.

July 18 1941

Problems start in the North with the supply gone.

Novgorod falls

In the center a resting turn. Supply is low but they are in supply and units are tired. Dreaming of course to make a huge pocket but as will be seen that wasnt to be :cry ...

July 4 1941

In the Mediterranean the Uk have the courage to invade my Beautiful Sicily. Not going to lie my port defense of Sicily was sloppy. Still the Uk ability to launch these invasions in 41 is a bit much and I always think that if we get balance in Russia right then something needs to be done ...

July 4 1941

In the North the German cav cut the Murmansk railline. But as will be seen this was a prelude too disaster with hindsight I should have pushed later in the Summer and arrive on the rail when bad weather starts.

German forces approach Leningrad ...

I used to play Third Reich when I was a teenager but as I remember the system was not all that good and I switched to World in Flames when that game came around. Still i am sure the system has evolved and it looks like a beautiful game.

Miss boardgames sometimes not the same as a computer for sure ...

Hello,

I play with steam so yes I think it is upgraded. i didnt even know that the upgrade was out.

Concerning the double attack isnt it because Soviet MM carry some the subs get a double attack? Now all Soviet MM are sunk so I think from now on there will only be a single attack. But might be ...

June 20 1941

The finns approach the Murmansk railroad.

20240216084950_1.jpg

Soviets still retreating so getting close to Leningrad. Some naval action at sea with the Soviet navy actually doing ok. Kirov is sunk but some Geman ships were hit as well.

June 6 1941

Forgot the view of africa

June 6 1941

In Africa the British makes no attempt to go on the offensive. Makes me a bit scared they might be planning something else like invading Norway or something. We will have to see.



The advancement continue all over the front as the Soviets withdraw.

May 23 1941

The nefarious British raid the coast of France and stomp on 2 airunits. Obviously not so good to leave them unguarded. The UK units wont likely see home again but it will be a small economic win for the allies since repairing those air units will cost more than losing some LC and 2 ...

May 9 1941

The digital world holds its breath again as the invasion of Russia begins. I had two cold turns in a row in the southern part of the front in April and I was tempted to start then but I thought May start is standard so for checking balance I felt start in May seemed more fair. We also ...

Nov 1940

Because of a lot of rain the fall of Greece took some time. Now all combat before the invasion of Russia is done.


Now that the UK initial forces have been reduced. France and Greece are more balanced to allow a realistic "blitzkrieg" period. That's a good point. Now, let's see how ...

Nov 1940

Because of a lot of rain the fall of Greece took some time. Now all combat before the invasion of Russia is done. Too summarise my losses are higher especially in air than normal and I could not or did not use the couple of extra turns I had in any good way. As I wrote above if you want to ...

August 1940

Axis invade Yugoslavia which falls without much fight. Having 2 mech units attack from Albania makes it difficult for Yugoslavia to get any units to the Belgrade area in time.

July 1940

France surrendered on the first turn of July. In Egypt Axis forces reach Alexandria. Axis forces are moving into position to invade Yugoslavia.

On the seas the Italians scored some nice hits on the Uk navy sinking one BB and one CA and heavily damage 2 or 3 BBs. Unfortunately the Italian ...

June 21 1940

As expected the UK forces tuck tail and run leaving the hapless French to fend for themselves. They put up a bit of a fight but in the end both Paris and Rouen falls and the French are considering a surrender.
