Turn 23; the Hindu Marines started an offensive all over the front. They couldn't hurt me in the north, but managed to deal significant losses to me on my western flank. In addition, one infantry division was cut off from I Corps command. I was unable to reconnect the road there. Lovesky is still threatened by the Deep Army.

On the western oceans my submarines sunk some Workers Autocracy's cargoships.

Turn 24; I had to retreat from my northwestmost positions on Central Island due to new attacks by the Hindu Marines. The new front is slightly shorter and therefore better stuffed with units.

I also have built up some light tanks, but they would be no match against the Deep Army's medium tanks. At least I was able to reconnect the makeshift port on the southern tip of Central Island with the I Corps between Lovesky and Triad.

"Retreat??" yelled self declared General Machiavellous T. Westheim, who was so furious - he acutally spilled his good morning milk. "The Wired Country does not retreat, neither will it lose a battle. Major, the commander of I Corps will be executed im-me-diate-ly! Tickle him to death. Now!" The I Corps got a new commander, Generalmajor Eisenfels, who was supposed to make his name speak ...

To be continued.

The Hindu Marines disconnected the majority of the I Corps from the harbour of Triad. Supply is already getting scarce in Lovesky, and in addition one infantry division was isolated north of the city and suffered heavy losses.

Turn 26; I finally divided the I Corps. Took me two turns to reconnect both parts and I want them to be able to fight separately now. The western half of the I Corps was pulled off into the IV Corps.

To be continued.

Turn 27; self declared General Machiavellous T. Westheim felt overly self confident enough to order an offensive of the IV Corps. The corps made up a good amount of ground, but couldn't reach the village in the woods.

The I Corps managed to fight the isolated northern division free, but suffered heavy casualties. Lovesky is still threatend by both the Deep Army and the Hindu Marines.

In the western oceans I launched more attacks on the Worker's Autocracy's coastal cities. Furthermore the III Corps prepares to occupy the southwestern most island in the next turns.

Turn 28 - hit hard; the Hindu Marines launched an offensive against both the I and IV Corps. A good portion of the IV Corps was almost encircled. Self declared General Machiavellous T. Westheim had two fury attacks this morning upon hearing the bad news. The general in command of IV Corps was immediately removed from his command and taken back to our home island for further treatment. Operation "Pink Horse", the occupation of the southwesternmost island" was postponed.

It took some time to clear the mess at Triad up again. After Turn 29, the roads are free again at least. Captured Hindu soldiers were cooked alive and then sent back to their High Command as prove for self declared General Machiavellous T. Westheim's seriousness about rising to world domination.

The situation in at Lovesky starts to look darker. More and more divisions of the Deep Army close in on the city. Engineers of the I Corps took defensive actions at the crossroads south of Lovesky. All tanks on Central Island are engaged in the south right now, and Lovesky is only defended by two infantry divisions with a PAK division.

Turn 30, almost losing it; the Deep Army attacked the I Corps in and south of Lovesky and almost managed to cut the city of! Self declared General Machiavellous T. Westheim was not amused. He ordered an immediate counterattack. General Eisenfels, still in command of I Corps, obeyed and threw kind of all out against the Deeps. Luckily their southern flank was very weak and with combined attacks from the city and the southern crossroads the I Corps was able to open the roads again. General Eisenfels was awarded a decoration as well as brave Private Miller who ripped apart a Deep tank with his bare hands but cut himself at a rusty piece and had to have his arm amputated. Self declared General Machiavellous T. Westheim was very pleased and invited him to the president's palace (a tree house in the start islands biggest palm tree) for dinner. They were served coconut milk and coconuts.

Alright!
This is what I was after a couple of weeks ago when I asked for an AAR where the AI kicks some butt! instead of all the human player greatest-hits/I-never-lose-a-battle AARs!!!
Keep it going. You're not getting much comments but I at least am following with interest. That map should be a lot of fun....I'm playing one that's similar...lots of big islands makes for a great game, I'm finiding.

That's a big map Westheim. Looks like fun.[;)]

It's more work than fun, but thanks for the appreciation. [:D]


Turn 31; the fronts on Central Island are mostly quiet after the heavy fights of the last turns. In exchange the Worker's Autocracy launches a small scale invasion on the pretty flat western island. It's so flat, it was named Flat Island by the Wired Country's High Command. Self declared General Machiavellous T. Westheim was pretty proud of his creation. Well, the invading unit won't do much damage. There are troops there to care for them.

Fights were renewed after the quiet turn 31. I tried to fight free Lovesky, but couldn't break the Deep lines.

The Hindus again try to break through between the I and IV Corps. I still don't have any good defensive troops at those crossroads, and the good old butcher Generalmajor Eisenfels could use his tanks better at the Lovesky front.

Self declared General Machiavellous T. Westheim ordered an offensive on Central Island. The IV Corps pocketed some Hindu Marines, but the I Corps was not really successful. Some mobile troops moved out to the east, but the terrain prohibits them from encircling the Deep Army north of Lovesky. New units are meant to hold the center of the line.

Turn 33; the offensive continues. The IV Corps made up some ground and eliminated the pocket made the previous turn. The I Corps broke out of Lovesky. However, an Hindu counterattack pushed the new infantry divisions away from one of the crossroads between Triad and Lovesky.

Meanwhile, Flat Island is Worker's-free again. [:'(]

Turn 34; the IV Corps captured a village in the woods and still advances, while I Corps had some limited success, too. The center of the front was regrouped into the V Corps and stuffed with almost all available reserves.

The southwesternmost island was finally captured and I'm slowly preparing for taking the island in the far east, which consumes many ressources.

The I Corps ran out of power to make up more ground. General Eisenfels received order to defend the won territory. Meanwhile the IV Corps (of General Sturm) is supposed to continue attacking, while the V Corps (General Schwarzenberg) has to hold the previously lost and now retaken crossroad. Like self declared General Machiavellous T. Westheim said: "At all costs!"

To be continued.

Turn 35; the right flank of Eisenfels' I Corps was hit hard by the Deep Army.

Turn 36; the I Corps was stuffed with every imaginable war material for an offensive. The right flank has been built up again with tanks, and more artillery has been concentrated in Lovesky.

The entire troops on Central Island have been regrouped into the Central Island HQ (pink), which contains the I, IV, and V Corps.

The research department is pretty confident to develop airplanes soon. An important step towards flying machines of iron has been made just recently: the most famous Wired scientists discovered that if you drop a banana from a tree, it will fall until it hits the ground. That's progress! To celebrate this glorious discovery, self declared General Machiavellous T. Westheim granted all prisoners of war in the labor camps spread throughout the Wired Country's realm two extra minutes of break for lunch, bringing their total daily break up to three minutes.

To be continued.

 You still out there west?[;)]
 
 

I am, don't worry. I just had to pull some extra shifts to make up some ground at work. [;)]


Turn 37; I finally put up some fighters with the IV Corps.

Turn 38; Eisenfels' I Corps attacked the Deep Army, but didn't cover too much ground. Meanwhile I'm worried again because of the thin-thin-thin connection between the IV and V Corps.

The proud and powerful Wired navy under command of the III Corps sunk three Workers' Autocracy's cargoships this turn.
