Round 1 2vs2 rjh1971/a511 vs Polonthi/Tica

[Petiloup]

Fall 1945:

Russia:

Nothing much Russia can do to liberate the rest of the world right now. Our navy is a bit weak to do anything about Japan but still we manage to liberate Taiwan.

China:

Taiwan is part of China and any action against this... [:@]

[a511]

well, interesting to see RUS taking Taiwan ... just wonder that would upset CHN and making CHN Pro-WA [8|]
 
a511

[a511]

JP surrender under WA a-bomb rule in Fa45 finally ...
 
i dont think Allies has scored an Allies decisive victory as its already Fa45 and axis' high-water mark is at 71 but i dont have the final victory screen so it just a guess. anyway, good game!
 
a511

[Petiloup]

Indeed Japan is out now and we already feel Patton pushing for backstabbing the peace loving Russian army in Germany. We will not tolerate but a total withdrawal of US forces from continental Europe. Unless implemented we will have to resort to unfortunate actions to defend civilization from Imperialist Capitalist corruption.

[MrQuiet]

Can someone post the victory screen please.
It appears that this will be the first game to go into East vs West.
Good Job guys.

This is the end screen. For some reasons the level of victory is disappointing [&:] Well at least a new post for the coming WW3 can be open so I can start the Russian turn for World Dominance [:@]... I wish it would be that easy [:(]

[a511]

well, at least IJN's brave charge at india in '43 which pushed the VPs to 71 was worthy ...
 
Polonthi, good luck in the east vs west!!
 
a511

[MrQuiet]

Good Job Guys.
Just continue the East vs West AAR right in this thread.
That wat the history that set up WWIII and the eventual outcome can be easily seen right here.

still no sign of A-bomb [&:]

The two posts above are a bit confusing as they appear to be different turns but both mention Fall45.
My guess is that the game actually ended Winter 46.

I have just tallied up the AAR points for the WWII part.
I am allowing all players to miss 1 post before penalties are applied.
If I made any mistakes let me know

Allies Marginal Victory
Allies +30
Axis +10

rjh1971 18 x .25 = 4.5 missed none = (4.5)
a511 0 x .25 = 0 missed none = (0)

Polonthi 11 x .25 = 2.75 missed sp44, fa44, su45 (-2) = (.75)
Tica 9 x .25 = 2.25 missed wi42, su42, wi45, su45 (-3) = (-.75)

Ok Allies continue on in WWIII!

[Petiloup]

WW3:

Russia:

Due to defective components from American Computers we delayed a bit the start of the Workers War against Capitalist Oppression.

Allied troops are committed into defending Europe but still flanking attacks did push into Eastern France and Spain. India front is advancing well as the Middle East does. Japan is mostly liberated from American occupation troops. We are shocked by seeing the devastation A-Bombs did on Japanese cities. Any attemtp to do such cowardly attack on Mother Russia will be answered in kind [&o]

WW 3: NATO

NATO is formed over night to fight Communist aggression. The screen posted above shows the first major Russian foray into W. Germany. While we suffered more losses, the Russian land forces are greatly diminished and a counterattack is planned for the near future.

In the meantime, Allied forces peck away at the periphery of the Commie empire to keep an auto-victory out of reach. In the screen here a landing in Greece threatens the Russian rear while coincidentally scooping up a VP or two.

The Russians have gone with massed artillery backed by super teched-up AA, hoping no doubt to keep our nuclear strike force at bay. While there aren't too many good options, a few Russian factories (and, notably, the population points from the provinces hit) go up in smoke.

The only major Allied setback occurs in Korea. Local forces were sent on a landing mission there behind Russian lines but a lone tank unit fought them off. Damn. A serious INF force there would have really made a mess for Phil, as most of his eastern forces are in Japan.

I myself have never get to this stage of war[:'(], so this is something new and very interesting for me... Keep up the good job guys!

[Petiloup]

WW3 - Summer 1946:

Russia:

As expected Russian armies are not much of a match with Wallies troops and production when WW3 starts just after WW2. Domination of the seas allows invasions almost anywhere while I need to dispatch a lot of INF and ART to protect against possible landings.

Smart move from Russia would be to wait the Wallies to disarm a bit after winning WW2 as democracies would be forced to while Russia isn't.

Anyway I hope the VP I achieved last turn will grant me less than a Decisive Defeat.

NATO Summer 46

NATO goes over to the offensive. Phil is quite correct that we have a serious edge in resources and industry. I think this was exacerbated by the long delay in ending the war. If the Russians had polished off Germany, forced Japan's defeat and then struck right away they would have made it a lot further into Europe. As it is, we had ample time to prepare and in particular to construct ART units.

This turn our Greek beachhead is reinforced while N. Italy falls. Our main army in W.Germany follows the retreating Russians into East Germany while landing a strong force behind their lines in the Baltics. Norway is liberated and India reinforced.

In a bunker somewhere under the Rockies Curtis B. Lemay leans back in his leather chair and chortles maniacally as another five or six Russian factories disappear beneath mushroom clouds. I think we're up to 8-9 total now. Spare bombers start to pummel the Russian rail infrastructure (just for fun). This screen didn't turn out too well. It was supposed to show the strikes against Kiev, Kharkov, Stalingrad, Rostov, and the S. Urals.

[Petiloup]

Fall 1946:

The USSR counterattacks and American troops are caught wetting their pants literally. After sinking all possibility of retreat the carefully planned counterattack on Greece exceeded our expectations. Only some bombers managed to survive. Numerous tanks and guns are captured which will help our battered industry to keep us into the fight.

The beachhead in the Baltic is now in no condition to push forward.

Burma is liberated.

NATO Fall '46

Nice counterattacks by Phil keep the W.Allies from totally dominating the map. But our long-term advantage in production means that we can afford local losses. Also the attacks pull his troops away from Central Europe, which is the decisive theatre.

This turn NATO pulls back from the gates of Leningrad and abandons its Balkan adventure. A strong force lands in Korea, looking to mop up the 3 vps in the East. Our reinforced army in India pushes into Persia, and it's hard to see how he'll keep us out of Iraq and the rest of the Middle East. In Europe, NATO concentrates her forces in Czechoslovakia. From here we should be able to strike in a number of useful directions.

The real killer for the Russians in the power of US strategic bombing. This turn a mushroom cloud appears over Moscow, leaving him only 4 Russian factories in play and a fifth in Turkey. This compared to the massive industrial might of the US/France/UK. With few remaining industrial targets, a good portion of our bomber force occupies itself blowing up rail lines. A total collapse of infrastructure can't be far away.

Will post a screen later today.

Winter 1947:

Russia:

Far East is in a difficult fight as well as the Middle East indeed. Total mastery of the sky is making hard to keep up especially with such a vast territory to control and AA as good as they can be are not the best answer.

Poland suffer a counterattack. Small one compare to last turn but still.

True it would always be the issue when one can hurt the infrastructure of the ennemy while he can't but Moscow is still far away.

[Petiloup]

Spring 1947:

Russia:

The Workers Paradise Realm is shrinking fast now. Waiting for the end screen [:(]

I'll have to think again how to start WW3 with Russia in a next game because obviously this doesn't work this way.

[MrQuiet]

It seems to be starting to look like any game that continues into ww3 will have the WA at a extreme advantage in both production and air power.

NATO Winter 46

Sorry, late posting. Turkey, Gorki, and Moscow all nuked. The end is coming. The bridgehead in Korea is expanded and Iraq liberated. In Central Europe we have a strong position (see screenshot) but there's still a lot of Russian ART floating about, so caution is warranted.
