1x1 Total War, SchuryVSJanSorensen

[schury]

nothing more could i do to help these poor countries, foes are too evil[:D]
let's have a look at casualties so far[;)]
all my troops damaged by autohits except two of them[:@]

[schury]

and in the east, japan swear to give mother Russia a huge&tight hug, which may choke her a little bit[;)]

[JanSorensen]

As can be seen I answered the 1940 invasion of Russia with a WA landing in Spain. Its imperative that I bring the WA forces to put pressure on Germany and I feel that Spain is both the safest and strongest pressure I can find. Russia will certainly crumble and fall if I dont manage to get a real second front for the Germans. With a strong enough WA in the west I can even survive losing most or all of Russia but its a close race.

I agree with you 100% Jan. I am in a similiar game with him, it's now Su42, and he made a lot of progress up til now. Russia is still holding, but the Japs made a huge amount of progress. The game is really quite close. and I regret not opening a front in Portugal. I invaded Norway in Fa40 instead, and then Sweden. Portugal->Spain seems like a better option... but perhaps they both have their ups and downs.

[schury]

nothing happened in these twi turns, we both have to deploy a lot, here's the situation

[JanSorensen]

The imperial English troops conquer .. err liberate Western France. The attack had a 75% chance of success and did indeed succeed although at slightly worse casulties than predicted from my point of view. I am certainly not complaining though as getting the area was the important thing.

Stalin has almost stopped screaming about a second front - almost.
I obviously repair a French factory so that the sons of France may once more fight the Boches.

I forgot to take a screen shot but most likely Schury can provide one.

[schury]

all right, i'll take the screen shot[:)]
black day!!! france fall![:@] that's too soon in only 1941[:(]

[schury]

and my attack in the east was not good at all, two tanks got autohited![:@] i think we'd call them autohissia instead of russia......high evasion seems useless while facing militia autohits[:@][:@][:@]
seems like above 80% of my troops are autohited......
the only thing go on well is the proceeding of japan cause no defence there[&:]

[schury]

autohis going on, but also quite lucky that i survived, very impressive picture[:D] 79 attack, very high score in early time like 1941, and survive from it is another miracle[;)]

[schury]

nothing much happened, we are still doing the deploy thing. but still we managed to take some manless areas[:D][:D]
the third empire expanded to the utmost i think, we'd better take a strategic denfence attitude?[&:] hoping the WA doesn't proceed too fast[:(][:(]
any one give me some advice?[;)]
and here's the political world map, which makes a splendid bobble dream[:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]

[schury]

JAN's not attack again. but i saw strong forces gather in paris and Kakorv. and i respond with my counter deploy. maybe he doesn't wanna attack in winter, which might be quite bad choise cause i suffered the consequence of attack North Ural, and replaced 6 milis with 3 ARTs, quite stupid bargin, eh?[:o][:o][:o][:o]

[schury]

JAN attacked in winter!!![X(] the report shows that although the losses were quite same, but nfortunately for Germany, it lost quite many ARTs while the allies got all damaged instead of destoryed[:@] that maybe the cornerstone[:(]
not until now do i find that JAN's the first prize winner of the tournament, maybe i find the wrong guy to do a AAR, have to do it hard and fully devoted now, i see no victory of Axis while facing experianced veteran allies players, can i make it?[:D]

[schury]

another battle occured in kharkov, which i gain some advantage of it. i guess i can take kharkov the next turn to compassate my breaking heart of withdrawing from eastern france[;)]

[schury]

since JAN's promise me that the new year 1942 would be a very bloody year. how bellicose is he?[:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]
so just show you guys the achievements till now[;)]
i think i am doing quite good, why still in such delemma?![&:][&:][&:][&:]

[schury]

very bloody thing happened! day of sorrow![:(]
we lost eastern Urals and suffered great losses[:(][:(][:(][:(]

[schury]

then my response is to attack eastern france, i put more than he have, but just get a fair result......[&:]

[schury]

but in Russia, we found the soft belly~[:D]
it suposed to be 100% safe if it was not the mili-autohit[:@] aroung 40% loss prediction didn't ensure me a joyful outcome[:o]
but sill we are there, manless areas all around, where to hunt?[:D]

[schury]

here's the armor, ready to go~[:D]

[schury]

very bad situation, WA sneak into the baltic sea and take control of baltic countries[:(] the third fronts......
but we managed to take kharkov, casualties a little bit lower than them

[schury]

also Japan lanched an offensive assult in central Urals, the casualties were even.
