GG 4.040 tourney Rd.2 xianing vs rjh1971

[rjh1971]

Allies Su 1941

As expected fighters were lost but would have been worse to lose England herself, for the moment Sealion has been avoided.
Wether Sealion was a bluff or not, didn't look like one with three paras and six TF, only the germans know, if it was a trick it worked.

Now problems are within the Soviet Union, all hell will break lose in the fall, she's about to be stab on both ends by superior forces specially the japanese ones. [X(]

Fall 1941, After examination Axis decided to wait some more turns.

Fall 1941, After examination Axis decided to wait some more turns.

[&:][&:][&:]
Is it in order to avoid the snow?
I havent looked at the turn, but I'm reliefed the USSR will have a nother turn to somewhat increase her defenses. Wonder what has happened to India which was also threaten by german parachutes [&:]

[xianing]

41 winter, very quiet in both side...

[rjh1971]

Fall 41 Allies (Belated turn)

The SU is relief the attack didn't take place, but that is only a small breath, when it unleashes it will hard to fend off the Germans and Japs.
Meanwhile you can see how the german war economy is producing non stop:

[rjh1971]

ALLIES Wi 42

The situation does look kind of grim for the USSR, the Germans have move most of their fighters to Irak, to provide escort to their parachutes, the russians have three fighers, a flak, an inf and a militia. We will need to be lucky to pull out of this one [X(]
The Siberian front is given for lost for now.

[xianing]

42sp, Barbarossa begin.
In East front Germany attacks went relatively successful, only with 2 Axis fighters damaged.
Belarus has too many Mils so is left for next turn.
The chance to take Caucasus is 47%, so instead to risk our airborne from being damage German took another side and bombed Ural industries.
Air attacks are shown with black arrows.

[xianing]

Japan failed to take Vladivostok.
It seems to be a bad beginning for Japan, and if next turn US DOW it will be worse.

[rjh1971]

Allies Sp 42

The USSR is squezed by the Axis Powers, Vladivostock held but can't be reinforced, rail connections have been disrupted, besides there are no forces to spare, it is expected to fall in the summer.
Kharkov has been reinforced, it has the bulk of the soviet artillery and that will hopefully prevent the combined arms bonus, if it falls the USSR is in deep trouble. We need to hold until the winter.

China has moved her little army in order to distract japanese forces from Siberia.

The WA have accepted Iran into its alliance, this can cut both ways, but surely threatens german southern pincer in the USSR.

[xianing]

42 summer, Axis turn.
Germany won a battle in Kharkov, which will earn us another turn to advance before the winter.
Several Soviet industries were damaged, black sea fleets were destroyed.
In another side, Siberian rail is cut off by an airborne. Hope this can relieve Japan a bit.

[xianing]

42su Japan turn.
Without resistant in Russia, Japan advanced into Siberia.
Seeing US is at the edge of DOW, Japan decide to attack first, but California was defended with 2 AA and 1 Fighter, the result is nearly catastrophic to Japan.
In the mean time, one troop landed in Alaska.
Southern Asia is attacked but Sumatra is already heavily defended.
And China will surely attack us soon [:(]

[rjh1971]

Su 42

Russia is tumbling [:(] retreats everywhere, manage to kill an airborne unit, it dared too much it was isolated and destroyed.
China takes Indochina
The US tries to isolate japanese CV retreating to their homeland, a landing was attempted in Alaslka by a militia suported by two BB but failed, pitty because japanese stocked supplies would have been destroyed and chances for CVs to escape greatly reduced.

[xianing]

42 fall, Axis turn.
The big tank attack trying to seize Stalingrad is proved to be too bold. Hope this Stalingrad won't be that one.
Germany troops are all in Rostov and probable next turn they will not stop attacking.
Some Russia rails were damaged this turn. Urals has some fighters protection so launched an attack tried to reduce them.

[xianing]

Japan successfully defended Foochow.
More islands taken in Southern Asia.
Our carriers finally went home and have their weapons repaired.

Even when China wasn't able to take Foochow, I think losses were acceptable on the Chinese side, the three infantry were back after the production phase, and the cassualties inflicted on the japs were higher.

Wonder how many ships were lost when the blockade was broken... Still haven't got the chance to look at the turn.

In Russia the situation is kind of critical, we need to stop the germans Stalin has said, or the trains ready to take germans and japs pow to Siberia (wait not Siberia, maybe the Urals) will instead be filled with incompetent soviet generals. [:D]

[xianing]

43win Axis turn.
Germany occupied Stalingrad, soon they will reach Ural.
Japan took the other half of Russia.

[xianing]

Japan hold again Foochow.
Lots of WA fighters destroyed near India (Don't know why they can't retreat)

[xianing]

Sp43, Germany tanks clear Gorki. Caucasus oil is also in the control of Axis.
Japan win another air battle, 2 WA fighters damaged.

[xianing]

43 summer,
Lots of WA troops landed in Arab Saudi, Germany tried to defend Iraq.
Italian navy is destroyed.
The only good news is that Soviet production has been reduced to 2.

Japan has to face 6 US carriers near Australia.

[xianing]

43 Fall,
WA attacked Iraq and caused equivalent casualties for both sides.
As the supply line in Med is cut off, no more need to hold Iraq so Axis troops retreat to N Persia.
S Ural is invaded, Moscow is attacked with good result.
Russia production is reduced to 1.
Germany took Norway to reduce supplies that WA sending to Russia.
