GD1938 Game 24

[ernieschwitz]

Yes, it is possible.

I believe it is needed to be done by the player immidiately before the turn that Chuck made. Or maybe at the start of Chucks turn(s).

[cpdeyoung]

Larry I can change it, send me an email with your desired password, and then I think I do the turns for Germany and Italy over.

Chuck

[LJBurstyn]

I sent you a pm as I am unsure which email address I have is yours.

[cpdeyoung]

The new file is up there - G24_T03_Japan_Ver2.at2.

I hope this is the ticket for you.

Chuck

[LJBurstyn]

That worked, YEAH, it is now the USSR's turn.

General appreciation

Germany and Italy are powers in a world of potential superpowers. In order to compete with the Soviet Union, the United States, and the Asian federation we need to pull all the resources of Europe together. Unfortunately Europe is far from united and the legacy of the Great War means France and Great Britain are not likely to join a united European front. Given this situation Germany has put enough pressure on Denmark to convince her to join a European crusade. Italy has agreed to administer some Danish territories.

30 May 1938

Germany is going to take a step to unite Europe by challenging the liberal democratic states. The violation of Belgian neutrality is a necessary step. Our forces swept behind Brussels and took Antwerp. We are sure British, French and Belgian reaction will be swift.

This game seems to have fallen by the way side, are we waiting for Falco the USA turn has been in the folder since the 26 of November ?

[falco148]

Guys....sincerest apologies all round. Somehow I had in it my head that I'd already played this turn. I'm usually one of the first to condemn
others when they are slow to return files so I feel especially bad about this. Anyway I've played the US turn and its now in Dropbox for the
Chinese player. Once again, so sorry.

China May 28th

Thanks Falco.

China continues to enjoy peace for the first time in several years, the God of war Chi You is at rest for now.

27 June 1938

Germany continues to press into western Europe. We have captured Lille an important resource center for the French. The Maginot has been bypassed.

The people of France are invited to join with the Germans in a united Europe. At some point we hope to incorporate the British as well.

In any case Germany hopes to become powerful enough to join superpower ranks.

[Bombur]

Goinf to travel tomorrow, I will be back in 12/24.

[cpdeyoung]

I think Game 24 is stalled again.

We will slow down with Bombur, but could do China-Germany-Italy-USSR before his France and Great Britain come up.

The USA turn has been in the hopper for six days?

25 July 1938

Germany had to pause to clean up behind the front. The Belgians were still strong and active in Brussels and near the coast. We concentrated on them, and brought about their surrender.

A long way from Brussels the world was shocked to see the Rock of Gibraltar change hands. In a lightning attack the Spanish struck and Spanish commandos got to the docks area as the British crews were being called back to their ships. Commandeering small boats the commandos placed limpet mines and sank the whole of the RN Atlantic Fleet and merchant shipping in the harbor. All this while Spanish infantry were lining up the crews for POW camps, or possible exchanges. The horror of this coup left Great Britain in shock. The government is struggling with a wave of discontent.

[LJBurstyn]

It's a shame that units are shown as surrendered but the victor does not actually get the surrendered equipment. I'm sure the Spanish Navy would be happy to have the surrendered ships.

[ironduke1955]

Not sure if the naval vessels would be of much use Merchant and Navy vessels, if trapped would be scuppered if they could not put to sea and if they could put to sea that is where they would go, a bit like aircraft a retreat option may well be required.

22 August 1938

The British and French are pounding away at the German spearheads. German losses are heavy, but some progress has been made.

A Japanese attack in the Far East had real consequences in Europe as the British used Dutch forces in their war against Germany. We suspect the Dutch would rather have not fought Great Britain's war.

19 September 1938

Germany is finding the Allied air forces to be formidable opponents.

Amsterdam is full of Allied troops and we only pushed them back a bit.

We captured a Maginot hex, and the city of Lyon.

In the south troops attacked out of Spain towards Marseilles, and into Africa.

[cpdeyoung]

17 October 1938

We took Luxembourg and pushed across the Seine. Italy convinced Austria to join in a Greater Germany.

[cpdeyoung]

14 November 1938

The troops in Spain pushed north into France, and German forces drove towards a possible meeting with the forces out of Spain.
