Berserk! sveint(Axis) vs Sillyflower(Allies)

[sveint]

At the start of turn 105 the Axis have 3106 VPs, the Allies 2010.

[sveint]

Turn 105: August 27, 1943

A small corps and a division shatter in England, in the east the 5th Panzer shatters.

I honestly don't understand why my units shatter that much, the attack odds aren't that
great.

It's unfortunate but we have to evacuate England. Holding it would have required a large corps
in every single port (including Ireland). And it really does not feel like the UK was hurt much
by the occupation.

[Flaviusx]

In most cases because your opponent is creating combat situations where they cannot retreat and if forced to do so shatter in the alternative. Mastering this little trick is an important part of the game.

I always always leave openings to retreat.

[sveint]

In the east we set up a defensive line the best we can.

[Flaviusx]

With properly sequenced attacks and mech forces, those retreat corridors can be denied. Also with paras. Sillyflower has mastered this. Heck, it works for Germans too, especially in France.

[sveint]

Turn 106: September 10, 1943

We lose a small corps in Liverpool. The Soviets make a couple of attacks but for once they fail miserably.

I am really disappointed we have not been able to hold on to England. I should have garrisoned it and Ireland much stronger,
at the expense of Barbarossa.

The evacuation of England is almost complete. Rain has come to the east front.

September 1943 and a 1000 VP lead, a win on points cushion but three major fronts is just too many. Pullout of NA to strengthen the places which matter more?

Three Axis units + 2 interceptors currently in Africa, but yes I'm ready to pull back if I have to. 1944 is going to be rough (it always is).

We need to reorganize and activate the Yugoslavian army.

[sveint]

Turn 109: October 22, 1943

Forgot to turn off upgrade for Yugoslavia, so they spent all their production on upgrades. Will try again next turn, Germany keeps sending aid.

Western defenses are slowly taking shape. Of course the Allies could land anywhere.
