[nemesszili]

Summer 1939

Germany:

Regular German start - Poland invaded with larger losses than expected.
Unfortunately Hungary didn't turned Pro-Axis. [&:]

Denmark had to be annexed for the Reich's cause.
Started to ship resources from Sweden. [8D]

Japan:

Foochow taken with larger losses than expected. Resource repaired to make Japan's economy effective. [;)]

No factories were torched, due to the UN's request to not revenge the losses in Foochow.

Turn sent to Eric. Good luck to you.

[nemesszili]

Note: I had a very bad starting. Don't be surprised, if I lose. Even Hungary opposed the Reich! [:(]

[xianing]

Usually you can choose a better starting, especially when some small chance event happened.
But finally the result depends little to the starting.
Good luck.

[nemesszili]

By mistake (I didn't know that; this is my first PBEM!) I've sent my password for the Axis, thinking that Eric needs the password to play the game... terrible logic...

So he let me to restart.

Summer 1939

Germany:

Regular Fall Weiss. Poland kicked out with no losses. [:'(]

Denmark taken again to keep the Allies away from the Sweden-Germany trade route.
Preparing for the Western Campaign, by the way...

Japan:

Foochow taken with no losses. [8D] (This time Fortuna joined me!) Resource repaired and Imperial Japanese Air Force ready for autumn practice in China.

I wish you good luck, Eric. Turn sent.

Fall 1939

Germany:

I can remember, that Hungary turned Pro-Axis... maybe I was wrong... it has a high probability, after I left a lone transport in Kiel...[:@]
Prepared troops for Fall Gelb.
I feel myself as a real idiot: leave behind an uncovered trannie in Kiel!

Japan:

Hirohito heard about the 'Peking incident', and ordered the fortification of the area.
Meanwhile, Liuchow was taken; we saw, that no counterattack could take place, because the Chinese lack offensive units in... I can't remember... south of Chunking. [:'(]

Maybe it's wrong to take it before schedule; but I felt, I couldn't resist to take that nice place.

Forgot to mention, lone infantry in Chunking was strafed by the Imperial Japanese Air Force.

Turn sent to Chen.

Note: Out of town until Sunday, Sept. 13th.

[nemesszili]

Hey Eric, I think you've played the previous save; you were playing on the save, on which I had great setbacks! That's why I couldn't enter that save file with the new password, only with the previous, which I have sent to you by e-mail... damn...

[nemesszili]

Restarted again, due to the fact, that Eric saw, that he loaded the save, for which I've sent my own password... this is getting more complicated.

Summer 1939

Fall Weiss is a full success, even though our Stukas were downed... luckily, Hungary was impressed by the Reich's offensive.

Winter 1940

No luck however; I've lost 3 INF when attacking the Dutch. [X(] Maybe I should surrender... in 1946...

Summer 1940

Germany:

Peacetime in Europe. U-boots hit a trannie off Canada, while Italy finally joined the Reich. Ze Fuehrer is very pleased! [:D] Malta is taken, while the Regia Nautica is like a 'ghost navy'; they don't move in the Central Mediterranean.

Ze Fuehrer is so pleased, that he sends support for Mussolini in the desert. Rommel of course will be in the heat of the action. [8D]

Unfortunately, Horthy didn't joined the Axis, not even after offering them the Vajdasag
from conquered Yugoslavia... well, he knows. Maybe when the sleeping bear in the east will be woke up, maybe he'll change his mind.

Eagle Day. The Luftwaffe shoots down the RAF (except the Lancasters), gaining temporary superiority. (3 fighters damaged against 2 British damaged + 1 destroyed) Goering awaits a Knights Cross; Ze Fuehrer said, he'll give it, but only after a better result.

More trannies sunk. Doenitz also awaits some medals...

Japan:

The Kunming pocket was reduced, while the first prototypes of the 'Ha-Go' tanks arrive in Changsha. Chinese beware. [:D]
