(Allies POV AAR) - Archmache vs ElvisJJonesRambo

[archmache]

Commonwealth push in the Mid East. Axis fighters provide insane air-cover. It's a no fly zone!! Syria surrounded, soon will fall to Allies. Need that morale boost!!

Strat-Bombers hit Tripoli, see DAK is gone. British Troops push on Tripoli, Allied air will be operated over to seal the Med. Will take Spain next. Need to rip apart the Axis from every angle.

Allies FURIOUS.

Australia surrenders, apparently commonwealth troops don't surrender if on Allied territory, but if invading enemy held land they do. 1 tank corps, 1 sp, 3 corps, and 1 HQ, all fully upgraded wiped from the map. I almost gave up :0

Allies had to quickly re-position, Axis moved a tank down to Ottoman front. Allies will be pushed back to the Suez no doubt.

Soviets, low income, with no convoys, has little production, but, reached IT 4 and Tanks 3. Tanks are upgraded for the huge battles to no-doubt ensue.

waw141.PNG (649.87 KiB) Viewed 1272 times

German MPP lowered, for now, with the loss of the Isle. Will gain resources from the Mid East. Allied strategy confused. May need to take out Italy with suicide AVL to remove the amount of Italian Garrison. TBD.

US NM at 61% and falling fast. Jap troops land in Alaska, preparing to invade west Coast. Elvis made big error and shoudl have sent carriers to destroy west coast. Lvl 0 AA will get wrecked by carriers. Had no troops. Now, US has ordered an entire California defence team, will be a slaughter if Tojo goes for Oil. No doubt his eye is set on China, India, and pushing on Russia from the east. WIll need to brinig back SA troops in case Jap marines attack.

Game is Axis favored, now. Only a matter of time before USA NM drops to zero. Canadian troops strategically placed to recapture US town. LOL

[archmache]

### TOP SECRET ###

US NM at 58% and dropping fast. USA losing about 3% NM per turn. RED ALERT!!!

The Allies don't know what to do.

USA needs to force a naval battle, recapture NM in a dominant way.

Norway invaded, will fall. Will probably take out Sweden as well and Finland. Will take all the Summer of '43. Hopefully early '44 USA can D-Day. German reached vet 4 tanks, brutal. Soviets die en masse.

Soviets countered hard, destroyed 3 tanks and a corps, an army and an HQ the turn before, but losing steam. Japan no doubt preparing to take Cairo. Yikes. USA reached AVL 5, which is solid. Powerful hits from the Sea. May try to cap Italy to boost Morale. Germans at 116%, need to drop them below 110%.

UK convoys started to Russia, but still Soviets are low in income. Churchill ordered tanks. Allies have decided the continent must be invaded. Allies must breach Denmark first, destroy Kriegsmarine first.

Are you aware that as of version 1.12 the following events reduces US National Morale:

- The USA currently loses 25 National Morale points per turn if Hawaii including its ports are under Axis occupation. This will now increase to 125 points per turn that Honolulu is occupied by the Axis. It will increase to 250 points per turn from the 1st January 1943, and 350 points per turn from the 1st January 1944 (ElvisJJonesRambo ; firsteds; taffjones; pjg100).
- The USA will now lose 50 National Morale points per turn that Manila is occupied by the Axis. This will increase to 100 points per turn from the 1st January 1944.
- The USA will now lose 30 National Morale points per turn that American Samoa is occupied by the Axis.
- The USA will now lose 30 National Morale points per turn that Kukum is occupied by the Axis.
- The USA will now lose 30 National Morale points per turn that Fiji is occupied by the Axis.
- The USA will now lose 30 National Morale points per turn that Guam is occupied by the Axis.
- The UK, USA and India will now lose 50 National Morale points per turn that Batavia is occupied by the Axis.
- The UK, USA and India will now lose 50 National Morale points per turn that Sydney is occupied by the Axis.
- The UK, USA and India will now lose 50 National Morale points per turn that Wellington is occupied by the Axis.
- The UK and India will now lose 50 National Morale points per turn that Singapore is occupied by the Axis.
- The UK and USA will now lose 50 National Morale points per turn that Calcutta is occupied by the Axis, while India will lose 75.

Holy crap! Did not know that.

US will surrender due to NM loss most likely.

I have to send the entire US fleet over. Every 4 turns THATS 1k NM.

Well RIP the allies.

Thanks for the info. Didn't know.

[Mithrilotter]

My pleasure.

Are you also aware that losing Honolulu shuts down the US MPP's to the Soviet Union via Vladivostok?

DE 317 – USA: Ship Supplies to the USSR via Vladivostok?
 Event fires: When Japan and the USSR are fully mobilized and not surrendered, and Honolulu, San
Francisco, Los Angeles and Vladivostok are in Allied hands.
 Cost of accepting: See below.
 Yes: The USA will lose 40 MPPs a turn and the USSR will gain 80.
 Note: Japan will be advised that it can prevent the flow of 30 MPPs reaching the USSR by placing
naval units in the hexes adjacent to Vladivostok port. If the Axis do impede the flow of supplies, then
the USSR will be presented with DE 407 that will enable them to attack the Axis naval units outside
Vladivostok. Additionally, if the Axis capture Vladivostok, Honolulu, San Francisco or Los Angeles
then the US will stop sending aid to the USSR because of the changed situation in the Pacific.
 No: Nothing.

USA assaults pear, two AVL sunk. Pearl still holds by Japanese SF, US forces will be kicked to the sea, no doubt.

Tunisia Falls.

Patton is sunk in a transport.

German armor smashes into Caucasus, collects oil. Moscow troops are shattered. North Leningrad is taken. Luftwaffe has level 3 ground attack.

Japanese Carriers pound India, take no damage.

The world will soon be under Axis rule.

Elvis has played a great game.

Nice match
I think losing Finland to that big diplo hit broke your back.
Plus the missing knowledge of why US NM is shrinking so fast (I learned something from that! )

[OldCrowBalthazor]

Great match and AARs from both of you.

[ElvisJJonesRambo]

We've agreed to battle again soon, both have to recharge & some personal stuff. This is turning into a good rivalry, we both try odd strategies (some for the best, other times, not so much). Checking my Gold Records, head-2-head match-up with Archmache.

3 wins (Allies, Allies, Axis)
4 losses (Allies, Axis, Allies, Allies)

[WIN] ElvisJJonesRambo (Allies) vs Archmache (Axis) ---Very interesting game. Both Japs and Yanks went for Subs.
[WIN] ElvisJJonesRambo (Allies) vs archmache(Axis) --- French defense was aggressive, popped some units. He folded.
[LOSS] ElvisJJonesRambo (Allies) vs Archmache (Axis) --- Russia held Dnieper River line until early 1943
[LOSS] 71 ElvisJJonesRambo (Axis) vs 101 archmache (Allies) --- Given my recent successes, I do what I always do, and try new strategies.
[LOSS] ElvisJJonesRambo (Allies) vs Archmache (Axis) --- Dude got me again, this sux. Made 2 very critical mistakes.
[LOSS] ElvisJJonesRambo (Allies) vs Archmache (Axis) --- This one was complete waste of time.
[WIN] ElvisJJonesRambo (Axis) vs Archmache (Allies) --- Allies soft Pacific defense + SeaLion gave the Germans all they needed. Game has an AAR thread.
