Thanks for the AAR!

Thank you Hellen_slith, my pleasure, in next installment I will zoom to some battles and also make some zoom out screenshots...
I must play a while then I will update AAR and plan to expand the story....

It is nice to write an AAR again...


Mario

I will continue my AAR just to keep sane after some personal tragedy and Earthquake and all this around the world... Later I will make some nice story [:D] Here's Warsaw Pact breakthrough in Germany in Elmer turn 6. Now is mine turn 6 I will try to destroy those units. They have lots of T72 and T80 but I must deal with those incursion swiftly my line is not so strong still and in Turn 7 Elmer will ram with much bigger force. lol sorry for typos i had nervous breakdown and toaw will come nicely as therapy, wargaming therapy....

We are almost to Baghdad but Iraq forces are still strong. I will try to ram some units into Baghdad because Elmer will lose his supply point there I think... I must deal with Iraq forces as speedily as possible because all those units will march then north and hit Warsaw Pact from the belly.

Bosnia area, as you can see I have destroyed lots of units of Bosnian Serbs, Vukovar is attacked every turn but is bravely holding. Dubrovnik is saved and here we are making offensive, we will try to take initiative here. Zagreb will have to held until Italians are activated in turn 7.

Meanwhile..... The guy with big white beard, chief of NATO was smoking his cuigar..... Yes, we welcome Northern Macedonia
into our glorious and magnificent NATO... Yes, Yes, I've told you so...... Damn it....

Please General RotterKreuz, report of situations on all NATO fronts:


General ReotterKreuz, took a sip of finest Tennessi Whiskey and said, hic! We are advancing Mister President, eh, but
we must defend on some fronts... Situation in Germany is heating up, after we have destroyed or pushed back those nasty Warsaw
Pact airborne troops, Russians launched serious offensive in Germnany but this is just prelude!
Well, sorry UK lads, one of their Engineer Units lost a lot AFVs Scorpions and etc... because Russians came in big numbers...
Each of their division have hundreds of T72 and T80 and we have already destroyed maybe 500 in those defensive battles...
We mmust grind them down here until our line is fortified and we must have some reserves as well.

On the Balkans we have defended Vukovar, we think that it will held, also we have destroyed some Bosnian Serb units and we generally
plan to take advance here, destroy Albanians and link up with Greek and Turkish forces. Turks have already destroyed some
Bulgarian units, it is clean breakthrough. Warsaw Pact have used SCUD missiles on our airfields around Istanbul! Bastards!
We must take those SCUDS asap, they have also some other nasty arsenal, SSM missiles with long range. Our Pershing missiles
are not so effective but they have range. We will get some more rocket launching weapons soon.

In the southern Iraq we have captured Basrah! Hurrah! I think that we are winning the war in Iraq! But Iraq forces are still
very strong and we are not so strong to be careless here.

Now it is coming critical phase of the war between NATO and Warsaw Pact. We must absorb their blow and later we will
counterattack. Also, all fighter bombers will go into Air Superiority mission. Combat Support will be kept but some will
also go into Air Superiority. Interdiction will be very limited because losses could be very serious and we must keep
Air Superiority as top priority NO1.

And let me just raise a toast for NATO! We will be victorious Mr. President, and your wife will get a present from us,
soldiers, that big white beard from Stalinicus, from Moscow!

Rat Patrol from Fort Bragg vol 3 Turn 9 beginning
------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile..... The guy with big white beard was typing something into his palm computer called Twitter version 4.5 "ah, that fakenews media, doesn't see a victory even when
it is brought under their nose....."....
A secretary called Pamela McWunderson entered room.... and she said "Mr. President are
you ready for some first aid saving life by mouth lesson?"
A president waved his hand, "Later, bring me General McFerguson"
When General Mc Ferguson entered big oval room, Mr. President just said "so, it will not be an easy fight? Can you report on present situation on all NATO fronts from Northern Norway to Southern Iraq?"
General McFerguson started to present report: "Well, Mr. General some of our plans came out rather well, but some fumbled pretty disastrouly... But, it's a long fight and some of our errors we will be able to correct. In Northern Norway some strange situation, Warsaw Pact did some airborne landing on two places but we promptly destroyed the paratroopers with our own SAS forces. He did not attack our most exposed positions which is strange. He lately pushed one mechanised division into swamps... Hmmmm.. We are bringing Swedes and Norwegians by rail here and we will defend this area vigorously. Some reinforcements were shipped by sea (even from Ireland, USA, England, Iceland...).
In Northern Germany, our EuroCorps fumbled gloriously, yes we did pushed Russians back and destroyed lots of their tanks but we also lost more than 130 Leopards II when we tried to destroy remnants of Russian 3 divisions but they were in fortified zone so we had lots of losses, in combat helicopters as well. But, situation here is for now stable and we have fortified whole border except one mentioned area. We will try some defensive action here. Let them come.
In Austria, first WP scattered some Austrian and Swiss troops and then we counterattacked, situation is stable for the present but we will need to send more troops here. Russians badly mauled one of our Swiss divisions that was fortified and on mountain and we had much losses, strangely this time they didn't have any losses (hmmmm very strange).
In the Balkans we took Tirana capitol of Albania by daring sea assault, city was empty. Soon merry Albanians and Kosovar joined our ranks, so we got 3 new militia units down there.
We must clean this mess here asap, and capture whole this area. It will be hard because we noticed some Rumanians units coming and WP counterattacked on few places and pushed us back. But I think that NATO here will handle the situation. Turks have destroyed one whole Bulgarian army and pushed back that annoying SCUD unit. Our right flank is weak and we must send some units here to contain Romanians (they entered into Bulgaria and made contact but still didn't attacked).
In Northern Iraq, Iraquians forces are attacking Turkish forces in the north and they surrounded one Turkish brigade, I think that they will wipe them out. We must help Turks here soon enough.
But battle in middle Iraq is turning in our favour. Some Jordanians commandos were droped by aircraft and assisted in encircling some Iraq forces in the desert SW of Baghdad. Baghdad is captured by daring attack and we destroyed some Iraq HQ's and helicopters in the process. We still need to destroy some 7 or 8 Iraq divisions that are surrounded east of Baghdad. And we also march north to assist Turks and destroy last remaining Iraq corps in Kirkuk, Mosul area."
Our losses till now.... Damn, 3 or 4 attack helicopters have evaporated, Enterprise planes are gone, and some Iranian units that strangely are coming back as reconstituted units in Egypt which is unplayable so for now at least they are out of play"...

Baghdad is captured! [:D]

Situation in Bulgaria is developing nicely....

We captured Tirana in Albania and now there is some units still waiting to be destroyed here, we still are not too strong here...

Turn 9 Austria... Some fragile forces here like Swiss that melt like butter under sun when they see Russians tanks... but, eventually we will outsmart that fox Elmer.... Hmmm, Elmer is getting better, first that SCUD bombing of my airfields and now when I bombed some of his airfield with Lance rockets he moved back his planes. Smart!

Turn 9 Balkan situation.... I had few more hexes than you see on this picture but Elmer counterattacked and pushed me back. We must outsmart him [;)]

Turn 9 Northern Norway... Hm, interesting game here, he is not very pushy here but maybe he is planning something...

Northern Iraq + he is making offensive against my Turk dudes. Hm, we will try to rescue them somehow or send some reinforcements here.

This was Russian breakthrough on Berlin axis. We pushed them back but did have horrendous losses, esp. Eurocorps and our attack helicopters. We must held this place, it is vital for NATO! [:D]

This is Danemark area.
