Do you remember, 20 years ago,
back to "all you need is love"
Do you remember, how Janis used to swear,
the rings in her ears, and flowers in her hair
They all sang
oh-oh...
Don`t you raise that guns no more
oh-oh...
'cause we still hear the drums of war
They were haunted, in a dark cloud of fear
ordrin` all the young boys to war
it`s long ago now, but the memories still here,
of rings in their ears, and flowers in the hair
They all sang
oh-oh...
Don`t you raise that guns no more
oh-oh...
'cause we still hear the drums of war
Well, since one of my Witp:ae opponents vanished a few weeks back, I had some time on my hand, and when BigBaba asked for a game, and added a bit of flattery, it was ofc all set [:D]
As usual, I will play the Axis. There are no HRs per ce, but BigBaba has promised nothing overly gamey (HQ bombardments, USSR amph/aerial landings in -41 etc etc).
*edit* fixed weather
This is the "normal" grand campaign, not the shortened one.
Anyway, I need some sort of plan, so let us look at some facts;
1. I have NEVER managed to take LG in my games.
2. Killing off USSR units is kinda crucial.
3. Taking out USSR MP centres is nice.
4. So is capturing USSR production factories of various kinds.
5. BigBaba is no newcomer, so he should prove a challenge.
6. I really suck at -41 as the Axis.
7. After -43 the Axis cannot really act, from then on, they have to REact.
With these points in mind, I am thinking about not pushing LG. I will send panzers north for one or two turns in the vain hope that BigBaba (from now on BB) will spend some of his precious points on building up the LG defences. Then I will turn east, and only march infantry northwards, and at the same time, start building some fortifications for the upcoming insanity/madness/silliness aka blizzard.
In the south, I hope to bag as many units as possible, and push as far east as possible. And I am going to reread some rules about the blizzard, as a thought occurred to me last night at work. If it is doable, I am not sure, hence the reading of the rules...
As always, any comment is welcome, but please try to keep things civil towards each other. (Feel free to call me anything really, I do not care, but play nice with the other posters in here!).
Laughing at my mistakes is as always more than allowed as well [:D]
Ok, now I am off to start a war!
