Round 2 2vs2 BoerWar/haudrauf vs Dahnyul/kondor

[BoerWar]

Germany - Sp '43: Yep, great game so far all. I hope Tojo has some secret weapons up his sleeves. Army groups North and South press forward with continued heavy losses for both sides. The war at sea continues the Italy naval air arm remind why it isn't worth wasting money on them. A couple of convoys are sent to the bottom. A little better snapshot of the war in the east is provided.

turn sent to Haudrauf.

[MrLongleg]

The IJN was caught by surürise by the heavy attack on our carrier fleet. Now the home land is in danger and US carriers block Tokyo. A heroic submarine commander was able to break the blockade and sink an US carrier cruising the Chinese sea. Although the boat was damaged the commander survived and was awarded with the highest medal available.

[Dahnyul]

Germany resumed its brutal assault on the Russian interior this Spring, causing Russia to fall back still further. The appearance of the Western Allies in the Mediterranean is a relief to the fatigued Russian soldiers.

Dahnyul as Russia sends Sp43 turn to Kondor as WA.

[kondor]

Well I had to retreat my naval units from Med. axis air cover is to strong for the moment...
German Ft-s are teched beyond WA Ft-s so engagement over Germany is still delayed... But WA are getting closer to mainland Japan... Siege continues...

[BoerWar]

Germany - Sum '43: Panzers East! In a bold (or desperate) attempt to keep the pressure on the allies the Wehrmacht put a weak circle around Moscow. At sea 2 transports are sunk.

Turn sent to haudrauf.

[MrLongleg]

And another US carrier together with 2 CAG's is history. The siege of the Japanese homeland is getting more and more expensive for our enemies [:D]

[kondor]

Yes it does, but we have to pressure Hirohito to see that expansion will not be tolerated[:-].
Still bulk of the WA forces are in the Pacific... D-Day will be delayed further..
Tokyo express line is formed and now the capital will be in peril... I just hope that SU will hold on a little bit more...
Few attacks where already made against Tokyo airforce... And one veteran battleship is destroyed.

[kondor]

Here are the current troops numbers... Germany has equal number of Ft-s as WA, but WA Ft-s are still technically inferior...
GE subs are 4 4 and they are a real menace!

[BoerWar]

Germany - Fall '43: The Wehrmacht continues to conduct an enveloping attack around Moscow. The ring has gotten somewhat tighter this turn. At sea 4 transports are sunk or damaged.

Turn sent to Haudrauf.

[Dahnyul]

sorry, it was late and I didn't post before my partner posted his turn.

A quiet, and slightly desperate Summer of 43 for Russia.
Garrisoning its remaining key cities, and temporarily reestablishing a supply route to Moscow.

German troops are too deadly for Russian pitch forks.

[MrLongleg]

The situation for Japan is not amuzing either. The carrier battle put us into a very difficult situation. This time we failed to destroy another US carrier, instead we suffered a damaged CAG and a damaged carrier. Shit happens all the time [:@]

[Dahnyul]

Russia is desperate, and must do something.

A feeble assault is launched to the south. Limited supplies prevent an assault on the two main German Army Groups which have passed by Moscow. (I have a feeling they'll be back).

Memo to Western Allies: Help! Are you sure Western France isn't vulnerable?

Dahnyul as Russia sends F43 turn to Kondor as Wallies. Good luck partner!

DS

[kondor]

My comp. is again pulling blue screen of death! Something about graphics driver being in an infinite loop... So sorry for the 1+ load count. Luckily I saved after about half an hour into my turn so not everything is lost .

Congratulations to my ally for a great play! Now the axis army is in trouble...
This turn WA took Persia! This is the most important news from my play, from there we can soon supply SU from the south!
France is not open for D-day, but Denmark was soften up a bit. (Lucky FT shot at AA)
Subs where chased with so-so results... HB from England managed to damage one GE trannie in the Baltic sea, but Hitler has plenty of those around from never conducted Sea lion operation...
Manchuria factory was bombed and damaged, few more IJN transports are on the bottom... If I am not mistaken IJN is down to 3 trannies [:)]

SU will in a few turns get much needed supplies+ I have outlined GE HB-s on the map... (keep in mind that one is in Rumania!) So I do not belive that GE army could be supplied this winter turn...
Turn forwarded to Doug!

[BoerWar]

Germany - Winter '44: Great play by Dahnyul. A captured message from the Wolf's Lair to the Stalingrad front reads "Paulus you blithering idiot, how many times do we have to tell you not to use allied troops to guard your exposed flanks." A hand written note on the message reads, "Doh!" Turn devoted to damage control.

file sent to Haudrauf.

[MrLongleg]

Japan suffers from severe supply shortage...

[Dahnyul]

Germany musters airborne supplies after neutralising Soviet fighter force. The blockade will fall.

An attack on Gorki was not terribly successful, with two units escaping, while causing heavy losses to Russia.

[kondor]

Gorki went just fine!

WA started to engage axis troops, little attrition wars just to test equipment...
Another arty damaged in TLC (it is only one on the cost-everything is sent to SU, to bad that is bad weather-D day delayed).

But Japan is in real trouble! Now is totally isolated and there is no help in sight!
Turn forwarded to Doug.

[BoerWar]

Germany - Spr '44: In Russia the encirclement of Paulus is broken and Moscow is once again isolated. Africa and the Middle East are reinforced. Romanian troops join forces with Scottish rebels and Edinborough is liberated. The Luftwaffe attempts a major raid on London with heavy losses to both sides.

[Dahnyul]

Russia stands firm. It is now tired of these interlopers running rough shod over our homeland.

However, we have a few logistical...challenges.

Meanwhile, China has begun to reclaim its territory. This spring we liberate the area in and around Peking.

[kondor]

This turn the WA relieved Hirohito from his duty! Honshu is down![:D]
After air&naval bombardment WA soldiers have taken the Japan capital... (This game A-bomb is nowhere in sight!)
Unfortunately I was unable to open a second front in the Europe... And supplying SU from south or north is not doable...
Militia unit in Scotland deserves a medal! It has damaged two of mine infantry unit!
Sub war continues all over the world, and the toll is great on both sides...
Soon all of WA vengeance will be laid on Hitler troops!

ps. Stalin, keep your pants on for a little while[;)]
