New game of WAW U2 ( Bono V.) version

[kondor]

ORIGINAL: explorer2



I'd be interested in knowing if that situation was occurring or not.

Goran did Kharkov rebel? Well I'll see and let you know when I play SU turn... probably tommorow.

edit: Kharkov did rebel .

[kondor]

Altough Brest? is down to one hex. WA will not gave up it's only port that easily...reinforced again.
Marseille expedition force attacked from two sides. Garrison where weak Italians, but they did manage to defend the city-barely. Operation canceled.

On Pacific Goran (Cveta) has deployed small ships on a crucial approach lines... very smart move.
So operation shock and awe towards Australia (only if approach would be stealthy one) canceled... Instead Auckland is liberated. It does not give any VP-s but is a strategically somewhat siginificant... + gives me supplies[:D].

IJN main CV fleet is expected somewhere in vicinity now... It will be a hot area very soon.

Tried to disembark on one more island in that area thinking it was empty-it was not No survivors there, dear Ms. Robinson I regret to inform you that your son...x few more of that to fill up... I hate birocracy...[8|].

SU. Complicated situtation needs complicated measures...and heroes-lots of heroes![;)]
Smolensk is cut of from all sides except over the river towards west. Temperarily ofcourse because it is garisoned with strong units.
Very strong panzers divisions responsible for last turn killing my tank divisons where punished accordingly[:D].
Arty followed up by ground attack from 3 sides resulted in a nice little KABOOOOM for a panzer divisions (even a heavy tank II unit barbicued[:D]).
Few casulties on my sides are tolerable... Few hexes further what it seems as entire LW bombing armies are located... thing will get ugly for my army next turn I am affraid... But that is war. (Good thing I brought lots of AA with me, hoping they will spare most valuable units and maybe strike down few DB-s II...)

[kondor]

This was not the only area of combat in SU... Strong SS panzer divisions (more heavy tanks II to barbicue) converged from woods towards north west Moscow suburbs... then Cveta pulled them back few hexes as they where without proper infantry cover... I manage to surround them with weak infantry forces but no attacking there. (Except my 3 DB-s softend up one PZ divison).

Tula area quiet. My intel sorces are telling me that feldmarschall cveta relocated AGS artillery to contain my Smolensk offensive...
No advance on south either. Rostov still stands mine, no advance to Stalingrad...

Lonly panzer unit advancing to Murmansk routed.

Here are stats for SU on the end of mine turn. Notice a relativly small amoutn of supplies produced... WA are supplying SU/China a lot...

[kondor]

China? China![:D]

Wu Mang Chao went pissing in heavy mountains area near Hanoi... Then he accidently pissed up on 1-st and 4-th Imperial marines unit, making them vomit and not capabale for combat[:)].

Noticed reinforcment to Hanoi and hex west of city. Noticed lots of BB-s, two CV II, so I had to be carefull not to approach the coast.
Area west of city was reinforced with full 1-st and 4-th IJA units. They disembarked last turn and their readiness took a hit for some reason.
Decided to forgoe attack on city itself and instead destroyed 1-st and 4-th[:D]. Ok, I lie, they where not destroyed but few remaining man where let go so that they may talk about great CH victory![:)]

Note to emperor HiroSiGaPito- further reinforcements to Hanoi needed stop. Send us soldiers worth fighting for this time stop. Or send us your concubines stop. Don't stop, stop. [:D]

Stats on end of CH turn.

edit: I know that this stats are somewhat dry material to read... but as we are making this AAR as we go, it would be foolish to gave pictures with important info on them...
Next time we might start a separate AAR[;)].

[cveta]

Cannot play ATM but I realy hope that I will menage to do a lot of demage to SU armies near Smolens thistrun. If this plan fails - well the whole East front may crumble. So we are talking about decesive battles now ( same as sub battle for Atlantic wich I lost,or fight for Norway wich I lost, or fight in Africa in wich will I lost,or fight in France wich I am winning ATM but willlose at the end,.....so why to hell amI fighting?? ).Oh - I know. So that Japs may win.

[cveta]

Well - I must appologise to gen. Kondor for opening my turn twice. I alredy explain to him what happened.
So since I open my turn twice I have advantege of good scoutingbut I did the same moves andit is realy funny to see how things develop diferent.
In all - I attack Leningrad and sufered heawy loses ( althou my 1st attack was great sucess, casulties to defenders were 4:1 ) and I lost a tankdestroyer in attack near Smolensk wich didnot hapeed 1st time. But In Med see I spot LRLC with armies on board protected by 2 Cruisers so I sink them all with newly produced IT subs and I didnot have loses,but in 1st play I lost 2 subs. So this compensate partialy my loses in SU.
Strategicaly - no big fights hapened around Smolnsk. I did what I planed - encirclement of whole attacking force, and I wonder will that have efect I was hoping it will. Thouse units shoud suffer real supplay problem, drop in rediess and AP. So I hope that I will menage to hold the encirclement for two turns wich must have a devastating effect on Su. If Kondor do a sucsesful counterattack and break thru war will be short.
Also - Su forces advancing toward Dnepropetrowsk and Kiew once again. We will make them warm welcome so they may run again back acroos the river.
Tank unit advancing toward Murmansk meat hewy resistance and Iwithrov her after loses. No advance on that sector.
In France - Last turn Tommies evacuate surounded unit and this turn our subs chase and spot LRLC with units from France on board so we sink them ( med tank was onboard, yupiii ). Attack on Brest was not executed. I hope that Kondor will reinforce the city once again.
Increased sub activity in Atlantic once again. I hope that I will cause loses to suplay and tounits in transport. I assume that Atlantic will be full of LRLC now when USA is on stage II of mobilization.

[cveta]

Japan - Chines armies realy decide to take Hanoi this time. But JA decide to hold the town, so mayor activity is on that area. Again we push some smaller CH units back, and we reinforce the city. No air atack on the city last turn. Thouse heroes fighters scare enemy pilots to death.
JA fleet is playing hide and seak with USA ships. I wonder who will be a cat and who will be amouse in this game??

Back to the pilots and a scared air attacks - thrue story

In Croatian liberation war ( 1990 - 1995 ) Serbian rebels have a suport from mather country Serbia so they send to the rebels all sort of supplay. And air force wich isused multiple attack on Croatian towns consisted of Serbian soldiers and pilots. City over wich is largest number of Serbian planes destroyed is Sisak ( heawy AA protection becouse of oil industry in the city ) Intercepted radio message from one of the pilots and a land base:

Yelow to base - mission accomplished ( he send few rocets to a crossroads near the city of Sisak ).I have few bomb left, what shall I do? Back home or??
Base to yellow - no, since you are up, go throw them on Sisak
Yelow to base - ( obiviusly knowing a person from other side of the radioline) - WHAT?
Base to yellow - just make a fast run thru, drop them and fly back home
Yelow to base - ( after few seconds of silence ) - I will make a fast runt thru your wife, drop the bombs and flay back home you stupid ...I am not going over there, over and out

Seems to me that Chinese pilots have same problems? Or is it becouse they were send by USA and maybe operated by USA recruits witch dont gve a deam about China/Japan war

[kondor]

[:D]
Well flying tigers are no chikens, you'll see that in my AAR following [;)]. Hanoi has AA and I am not a crazy general that will send my FT-s on AA + enemy FT-s...

USA gears ip it's production

Subs in Atlantic did a lot's of damage intercepting convoys to Brest. This turn my DD-s II did some damage to them...
Card help to SU played-3x this turn[;)]. Comrade Stalin has big plans and we must keep them fueled...

Admiral Halsey pacific fleet bombed Meloburne-cargo ship + lonely CAG-s III destroyed. Marines disembarked south of Melbourne.
Melbourne is worth 8 VP-s and I need them back! [;)]

As IJN was aware of our location near Auckland last turn, I think IJA CV fleet is somewhere nearby getting ready to strike... Will they found my fleet? What will be the results... Oh the suspense![:D]

Cveta has 120 Vp-s with Japan and he needs only 110 to win... 7 more turns to hold out... but I am applaying pressure not only from USA/WA/China... Will I manage to crumble his empire on time?[&:]

[kondor]

This is Hanoi seen from Indian side. Well garrisoned by IJA indeed... Lots of FT-s II/arty-s to.

[kondor]

Back to SU.
My foe is hoping that my army will just rollover and die?[:-] One turn of isolation is not enough for readiness/supply drop.
My Smolensk offensive army was completly surrounded by strong GE forces. But mine Syberians are not wimps to[;)].
Panzer unit that was holding the far east perimeter (closest to SU) was heavily atacked by remaining arties (damn those Stukas). Then attacked with 3 sides (150% bonus IRC). And thus ending encirclement.
Paratroopers in woods north of Mozahisk destroyed by superior force.
Smolensk units whitdrawn.

Drive from Murmansk to Leningrad continued in hope that I will relieve the city in siege so long...

[kondor]

As GE is facing a very long front in SU, must relocate assets to contain WA in France and still fights in N. Africa I must pressure everywhere I can.
And that is south SU. Antoher long offensive started in hope that GE despite their superiority cannot possible defend everywhere...
SU has received a lots of help from WA, built 2 more factories and is geared up for war...

Long live comrade Stalin! Chargeeee huraaaaa!!!

[kondor]

Last but not the leas from SU.[;)]
War to Japan declared![:'(]

Drive from Irkutsk and Vladivostok comenced. Target-Mukden! As IJA is busy in the south (around Hanoi mostly) there was little resistance. It seems that we caught them in surprise [;)].
Drive from both sides went well and now the city is surounded from two sides... I hope it will go down next turn...

To bad that is worth 0 VP, but it's loss will hurt IJ supply traders...[;)]

[kondor]

And now back to China.

Flying tigers escorted LB-s for bombing run on IJA arty unit (two hexes ?) east from Hanoi. Cveta look at results and tell me that Flying tigers are chikens!?[8D].

Hanoi was not attacked but units around it where. One hex more around the city gained... I only must stay away from the coast line and will be fine... Altough Japs brought a lots of artillery down there... How well will they fight north against SU I wonder...

So far very interesting game...[&o]

[cveta]

Well Ivan menage to break thru and withrow from encirclement. Congratulations Kondoron that. Germany menage to smash sometroops while runing and establish a front line near Moscov again. Enemy units advancing toward Kiew and Dniepropetrovsk were attackedwith goodresults for us. But Attack onLeningrad was a disaster again. That include air,artilery and land attack. All three fail.
AP fights in France,bombing of Brits in N. Africa, relocating of subs inPacific. That is all

[cveta]

Su declare war on JA so we pay 20PP and end this noncence.
China come so close to Hanoi and feel so secure that he put art.unit on front line. Althou it was defended properly we strike that hex with ships ( 8 bb and cruisers - gen Kondor forget that ships may enter ports?? ) artilery,planes and 2 land atacks. All units routs, artilery killed. Here is last screen shot from that fight

[cveta]

USA unload 1 inf. unit on Australia mainland. That brings main city in jepardise. Our ships sail toward Australia.
We search fort USA fleet,and LRLC wich bring thouse troops to Australia but coudnot spot it. Instead our carrier air III attack that unit reducing it from 50PP to 9 rifles, MG and mortar.
Our subs sail to Pearl Harbour to check what is going on. They spot a number of cargo ships docked. They hear a music from the garison. All USA defenders were drunk. We take our chancae and attack. Here are the results. 366 corps didnot even participate in a fight

Yes I forgot that you can enter the port and pound me from the city.[X(]
But there is danger for you to there, as you will soon see [;)].

I also forgot about that card you have. Let there be peace between SU and IJ?! What shi.. peace?! Now I have a shitload of troopers and noone to fight?! My plans took a heavy blow with that one...
Few turns away from Jap victory can I stop them now? Hm...

And those subs in Pearl make me go[:@]. Coastal fortress didnt even fire on them?! What a mistake of the maker...[8|]

[kondor]

First thing first.
WA dealt with 4 subs in Atlantic. Then scored a major victoy over Luftwaffe over France...
Brest is secured and counterattacks commenced towards interior France.

My hopes are even if Japan wins it's victory conditions, I must deny same to Germany and try to win as WA making it a draw?

But I will rollover yet. Paratroopers landed near Bangkok. My Pac. fleet bombed Meloburne altough IJN main fleet is somewhere nearby... Then ground attack followed-this time not successfull.[8|]
Landed few more units near Melbourne and now Cveta must decide will he search for my fleet and attack them, or will he bomb my ground units and destroy my LR LC...

Arty unit near Hanoi softened up by FT-s-doing some casulties but basically just lowering it's readines...

[kondor]

Why did I forgot about that card?! It must be from playing to much [;)].

Note to explorer- after whitdrawing to start positions one SU unit got stuck in enemy teritory no way to get it.

It is not important for the game but it is a bug.
