S39, Germany sweeps into Western Poland.
Turn sent to Kondor (Japan) July11

Japan. IJA took that coastal region, and manage to bring down the hole China airforce in one sweep .

I will need e-mail addresses from Tica&Polonthi... So if you gents can supply me with them we will get rolling...




edit: emails aquired, and turn sent to Tim.

Russia/China Summer 1939
 
The Commies don't have much to do in the early game. The Russians send INF to E. Poland to push the WR, while the Chinese begin the great march to the hinterland.

Summer 1939:

Allied:

Same old same old. Waiting for the storm.

Dahnyul as Axis sneds F39 turn to Kondor as Japan.

A normal fall of the Low Countries, but I suspect we let too many troops escape with their lives. Can anyone direct us to the Frank haus?

Japan did some scouting of the chinease factories... next turn they will surely be dust

Russia/China Fall 39
 
Practially nothing for us to do at this point. The Chinese were pleased to see the Japanese bombers miss, but that's about it.

Fall 1939:

Allied:

The Low Countries liberated. The Huns have been repelled with heavy losses. Victory [:)] but somehow I think France will still fall next turn [:(]

Well played by Polonthi. Germany wasted resources repairing the Low Countries' infrastructure, and now must rebuild again. A sweep over the abandoned Maginot line yields victory. A lone artillery is all that is left in the low countries after the French forces there surrender.

No sign of allegiance from Italy.

The screen shot was supposed to be the before picture, with another showing casualty rate after the turn, but I messed up the 'after' screen shot.

Japan turn winter ´40. After another unsuccessful raid with HB deep into China. But TAC & CAG did a better job over raileroad & militia unit...

Russia/China Winter 1940
 
The Russians decline to post a screenshot. We're obviously not experiencing combat and the only thing we could show would be our force dispositions. Not that I'm under too many illusions about keeping them secret, but why volunteer anything? We continue to build up the Red Army and watch developments in the West. Kudos to our esteemed ally on the bloody nose given to Germany in the Low Countries.
 
Chinese peasants weave bamboo nets and over-large fly swatters in an attempt to catch low-flying Japanese aircraft.

Winter 1940:

Allied:

Our so called Intelligence detected a navy buildup in Germany. Somehow we don't believe it will be used for cruising the Baltic.

Yugoslavia should be aware of a strong menace on her border.

Germany has launched a submarine war in the Atlantic. The score is one Transport Destroyed (+1 to US war entry against 2 UBoats Destroyed. Nice omen.

Germany does indeed decide that it just didn't like the way Yugoslavia was just sitting there all pro-allied and all. So we came in and laid down some old school Blitzkrieg.

Meanwhile, after letting my subs get filled up with sea water (apparently not good for the crew), the remaining sub fleet runs away to pout.

Hirohito considers buying those bonds... but jen is a little low now, so we must wait... Wait for my pilots to get there´s glasses among other things...

Russia/China Spring 1940
 
More building, while watching political developments throughout the rest of Europe. The Germans move tanks to our border very early, which can only be considered provocative action.
 
The Chinese are pleased to actually have some factories and infrastructure still standing.

Spring 1940:

Allied:

Germany has still his aim at Sealion. We seem to be lucky to have Italy still out of the war but next turn might be different. Her Majesty navy is ready. England is fortified as much as we can but his Fighters are not in range yet so we should be safe. Critical turn would be Fall 1940.

The Axis forces have been paralyzed by Allie dominance in the Mediterranean. Germany must concentrate on internal 'Social Restructuring' this turn.

Su40 turn sent to Kondor

I have one word for my ally Luftwaffe [;)]. It seems that WA is building heavy arty forces... with the strong FT squadron...

On the other hand Japan has improved attack rating of its HB-s and the result is already visible in the China... It looks like that WA will give a land lease to China = more targets for my brave pilots!

Guys I am leaving on monday morning to my vacation, and I will not have internet (or any other form of electronic junk[:D]) near me... I will be on the Adriatic sea for about a week. Just to let you know...

Russia Summer 1940

As usual, not much to report. The Germans are busy in the Med and Balkans, though an ominous buildup in Poland has begun. The forces sent to S.Italy, however, seem to indicate that a major offensive is still one or two seasons away. (See screenshot)

The Chinese hunker down and hope for bad evasion rolls and autohits.

Summer 1940:

Allied:

Germany seems looking away from the UK Isles and shifting forces to the Med. A heavy presence from the Luftwaffe to help the pathetic Italian airforce has make us rethink our defense. Will the DAK intervene in Lybia?
