GG 4.040 tourney Rd.1 Ben v Ning

[BenTaylor]

Here is end of turn around Africa

[BenTaylor]

And here is the East

We have in

Italian East Africa: Italy 3 MIL, 1 TK and German ART

British East Africa: 2 MIL & 2 ART

Cairo: German TK & It INF

Trans J: vet INF and 1 MIL

In Japan damaged rail in Liuchow and Paotow, damaged resource Paotow: no Air casualty

It's been a scramble in the Med to move men and materials but everthing that could be done has been

[xianing]

40 SU, WA can't renforce Africa as too many Axis subs blocked the way.
So some cleaning operations were done and two subs sunk.

[BenTaylor]

Fall 40

So more transports are attacked around Africa

[BenTaylor]

...

[BenTaylor]

So 3 in all and one goes vet

[xianing]

Allies revenge! ... although a little soft compare with the number of TPs sunk by subs.
They damaged too many and now they have nothing to shoot to.[:D]

[xianing]

Germany is busy preparing in the east, so it is time to give them a bit pressure.
Norway is invaded --- by Alles this time.

[BenTaylor]

In the Med and East...

Joint Ops by 2 TAC air blow up the single transport the Allies had in Malta

Cyprus is invaded

The Cairo forces of a TK & INF attack Trans J and take out 1 MIL for no loss. They are reinforced for winter offensive

Subs are positioned to continue blockading east africa

Paotow rail and Lanchow factory are finished off with no loss

Let's see what Uncle Sam says about it [:-] ?

W41


A German TAC swipes one of the Brit barges lumbering around near Denmark

[BenTaylor]

W41

Here's the Middle East report

Iraqi Muftis have toppled the remanants of the colonials

The Italians attack British Africa and it's maybe a stalemate - Brits loose an ART, Italy a MIL but one Brit MIL goes uo to INF

Reinforcements come in bearing in mind that the Brits have sent their CAG fleet all the way around the Cape

The German subs move to make transport to Africa continue to be difficult

A vet German INF bounces off the Cretans even with Regia Marina bombardment -[:@]but the island is now depleted

Forces rearrange to protect Iraq and Trans J and isolate the Brit INF in Syria

Elsewhere a German Sub has sunk one other transport near France and is exposed but the pressure has to be kept up and some risks taken

Norway was considered for action earlier on but the OKW had no resources to put in to this given the heat in Middle East

[BenTaylor]

Damaged Changsa factory had been restored to health so large bombardment takes it down to where it was again, one HB damaged

[BenTaylor]

The Kunming rail is knocked out and a CAG goes up Vet

We can see that the US scumbags have 5 supply ready to go over the hump in Mandalay so they must be concerned

The Japanese ponder [:-]

[xianing]

41 winter, WA win an increditable battle in Africa. A militia is promoted to inf.
So the Axis africa adventure is stopped there.

[xianing]

The peaceful Europe before the storm.

[BenTaylor]

Spring 41

Not much to report

Spring time for Hitler in Germany [:)]

The atlantic sub has survived and snipes a transport

Subs are now 3 evasion and Allies have no ASW assets above 1

It is only because of American diplomatic displeasure at merchant losses and absence of a larger German fleet that there is not more activity [:(]

Some airforces are rearranged to parry the Brit FT swarm assembled in Norway

The Syrian remnant of the Allied ground forces in Med is kicked out

In Japan some more resource is knocked out and a MIL killed in air war. No Japanese losses

[xianing]

Finally US production reach 2. And another news is our ASW also reach 2.
Norway and Africa are enforced to put pressure to Germany.
Hitler is still hesitate whether or not attacking the their friend Soviet ?

[BenTaylor]

Well the guys were sitting around with all this new gucci kit and most of them hadn't done anything since France

They were getting bored after looking at spring blossom enough

Luftwaffe goes for Norway and it looks like it may have been better to let the RAF come to them

[BenTaylor]

The rest of the Axis goons have gone east

New screen caspture thingey needs mastering to get this right

Axis have got Baltic, East Poland, Kiev, Kharkov, Odessa but couldn' get Belorussia although this wasn't attempted but was envisaged as a target

The Axis didn't take bad casualties but didn't destroy as much as intended - and in particular the luftwaffe is a bit lessened for momentum

Rostov factory was bombed and elsewhere we have 2 trannies down for 1 damaged sub

[xianing]

41 Summer
The sleeping bear is now awake, and Germany will realize it is a wrong thing to attack a stronger enemy [:D]
First counter attack is mainly organized by Red air amy.
Easten poland we got a better results even with less moded planes.
Karkov rail bombard to slow down enemy. And a suicide attack by our black sea fleet damage the only German TP there.
