Wow guys, awesome AAR................
Also: A GERMAN CV in the MED!
WOW, 1st time for everything.....

Russia plays in the basement while the adults work things out in the living room of Europe. No chance of providing supplies to the stranded air wings.

Germany has taken an interesting approach. There is no chance for Germany to build a surface fleet to compete, but with the world's oceans infested with very capable submarine packs, Germany has developed a capability to really choke off the Allies' European operations.

Yes, that has surprised me, but luckily that CV was never a real threat... And now is disposed of![:D]
WA could not mount a successful attack on W. Germany this turn, so I decided to reinforce and wait for inf. upgrade (8 8 this turn! And my inf. is finally superior! GE has 8 7).
I have emptied Africa/India/Gibraltar basically everything, and all is being sent for final battle...
There is a lot of troops in TLC and W. GER. so it should be a historical battle!
AA in Berlin was not so great this turn [:D], bombers where taken out without losses! Last turn Doug has rebuilt 2 factories in W. Berlin, but I decided to go for unprotected ones instead... E. Berlin, Austria, Poland where hit...
Now the winter is here and I hope that I will soon break Dougs great defense[&o]

Germany - Win '46: Yeah, I like to build an Italian CV if I think it can get loose in the Indian Ocean. In this game, my Japanese ally suffered an unlucky setback early that put us on the defensive at sea early in the game so I never really had the chance to use it there. Nevertheless, it does a good job protecting the Italian coast as long as you can give it sufficient fighter cover.

Not much going on besides repairing factories and digging in. I almost forgot to get a screen shot so all I got was a picture of the development of wonder weapons.

turn sent to Dahnyul.

Russia continues to fritter away its time inconsequentially.

I felt terrible for those stranded aircraft, so I dedicated my meager resources to bringing them enough supplies to let them know we still care.

I like the way it looks like my transports are being strung along behind my plane.

Turn sent to Dalibor.

First bad planning and bad luck on my part denied WA landing in Italy (and taking Italians out of war which would help). And then winter attack on Germany has been made... HB-s have destroyed the railroads, and after the battle two remaining artys in W. Berlin...
All in all not bad, casulties where the same, as predicted...

Maybe the wormer weather will boost some spirit...

Hirohitzo crosses his fingers (sitting in hsi buker gifted to him by the Fuehrer). Our German friends bravely defended their home land. Time is running out for the Allies....

Germany - Spr '46: This just in from Mr Goebbels " The German High Seas Fleet has dealt the Western Allies a resounding blow from which they may never recover. In a daring raid the Tirpitz sortied sinking an untotalled amount of allied shipping." The (remains of) Tirpitz have been sold to a Hamburg museum as part of the victory display currently under construction. There is great jubilation in the fuhrer's command bunker.

Meanwhile, the rest of Germany digs to avoid the avalanche of allied bombing and waves of allied infantry.

turn sent to Dahnyul.

Meanwhile, the Russians have mustered a crazy old man with a sharp stick, thrown him into a wagon pulled by a three legged donkey, and have begun to liberate territory the Germans captured but found useless for anything other than for freezing body parts (should you ever want to do that sort of thing.)

Go Allies! (If we had planes, trucks, tanks, soldiers and an economy we'd be fighting too!)

Just to be certain we have made our contribution, the Russian bombers do drop rotten cabbage on Rumanian factories and score a lucky hit.

Ahh. I was sure I took a screen shot, but trust me, it was very, very impressive!

"Ivan, keep pedaling I tell you, we are losing altitude."

Lol! [:D][:D]
Eisenhower will post his AAR later... First he must debrief it´s commanders and the weather man...

As Italy is reinforced, plans for invasion there are canceled!
All out attack on Berlin-failed, again![:(] It looks like fort is commanded by Rommel... How else would they endure?
WA at least landed at Denmark, few upgrades are being introduced... To late I fear...

Germany - Sum '46: Rommel decides the wave is just too large to withstand much longer. Most of army is redeployed to Berlin in the hope that the Allies don't have enough LST's to overwhelm it this turn.

turn sent to Dahnyul.

The end is near - one way or another.

In a wholly symbolic gesture Stalingrad is liberated. This would be more meaningful if the enemy hadn't packed up and left Russia out of boredom.

Summer 46 turn sent to Kondor

Well played by BoerWar so far[&o], bu this last turn puzzles me. Is this the SS of your troop deployment?
Redraw from W. Germany ok, but why all to Berlin? I have no tanks, and only few paratr. in TLC+mine trannies are at 5 (only 5 units can land in Berlin). And you left austria&czehosl. exposed...
I belive that I will walk into W. Germany, land in E. Prussia and I will airlift my rangers to Czechoslovakia=surrender of Germany...
Maybe I am wrong, wouldn´t be the first time[;)]. After all that bloody fights with Rommel this last call really puzzles me... Maybe he finnaly saw that Hitler is ku-ku?[:D]
I will be able to do it tommorow because I am busy today...

The SS is prior to the build phase being complete. I don't think it is possible to look at the screen after builds are done. I think you'll find a somewhat different setup when you load up. Hopefully your Rangers will find some Mountain men waiting for them in Austria and Czech. [X(]

That is like something what desert fox would do! Give wrong intel to enemy... To bad that this is no desert!
It is a very cunning plan mylord [8D]which we will have to overcome![:D]

Well as I where afraid, Rommel is no fool... All countries where heavily defended...
Hard job was upon us, but my rangers where ready! Plans where made for taking Czechoslovakia-IMO the best target...
E.Prussia was cleared before that..

After that every flying object, FT-s, CAG-s, TAC, HB-s, flying bricks [:)], everything but 4 HB-s needed for later transport of paratroopers, was sent to Czech., with bombs of course[:D].
Attack went ok, and even enemies who survived where shaking with fear. Hope has returned to general Eisenhower´s face...

Rangers where given a go! We watched them leave with great hope, after all there where the elite troops, forged in many battles and German troops where tired of fighting!

4 Ranger units where sent, and 3 where unharmed after the battle... On the other side one inf. unit+one militia unit was still fighting...[:@]One militia unit, just few suppres. points made the difference![8|]
WA has lost, rangers sent to hospital[:(], luck was not on our side! Why did that popping militia unit was not left at home with wifes? Don´t they no that next turn they all will pay?[&:]
Kudos to Doug for just right amount of troops left for defence[&o].
As axis failed to reach first watermark, I failed to make a draw, GE will have their victory!
