May 28, 1940



France evacutate the maginot line and tighten the ball around paris. UK-France failed to save the finns and now raid narvik. This is the first time I see it attempted. Both unit are place away from the shore out of supply near an entrenched garrison... Unless all UK carriers are waiting to pounce, narvik should hold.

Stranger, the special force have ability to evacuate by amphibious craft when by the shore. They don't need a port. It might come handy if you need to abort the raid.

June 1940

France marches or operate most of its army south leaving Paris weakened. Germany pursues and capture Paris. With enough of the french army still in fighting shape the french government vows to fight on and moves to Bordeaux.

A cruising sub bumps into a amphibious infantry division north of scotland. It's unclear if its going toward Iceland or moving back home after the aborted attempt to secure it.

It looks like the B.E.F. were routed when comparing early/late May screenshots. Did the B.E.F. evacuate or were they mostly destroyed?

B.E.F. was mostly evacuated...

B.E.F. was mostly evacuated...

I got some garrison screens and one division out of supply but thats it. They withdrew in good order.

7th july

German press south and Petain offers terms. Let's spice things up by rejecting Vichy France! Tunis corp destroyed but paratroopers couldn't take the city. Italian ships severs rail by via shore bombardment ensuring the city will still be empty next turn. In metropolitan France, German take Lyon.

Can Algiers France still surrender via morale collapse?

Germany gets fifth turkey diplohit, 7% more wasted. Would be like 20% axis leaning by now if weren't for the cap. In the base game, that would be like 55%. [X(]

Aug 1941

Metropolitan France has all but been conquered, no allied units remains.

Italian sub sinks a tank division trying to reinforce Algiers

For some reason at the start of the turn Turkey was allied leaning (5%) but a sixth diplohit (7%) write it off. (This is entirely ridiculous...)

I guess it doesn't write it off because turkey was at 3% at start. Just got a seventh hit (!!!!), also 7%. Fun fact: I didn't keep investing in diplochit once crispy confirmed there was a hard cap. This just just my residual chits firing left and right.

September closing in on Algiers, now protected by an english corp. All is quiet in Lybia as Italy is busy building its airfleet. Romania joined after Germany back them in their territorial dispute.

I'm sorry crispyman, you won't get the full review the mod deserve. With algeria impending fall, my opponent resigned.

Final screenie:



I didn't want to leave anything to chance so that's an HQ and a tank corp in amphibious transport over there.

Say taxman, ready for a rematch? C'mon, let's do that Fall Weiss 9.1 thing.
