Round 2 2vs2 BoerWar/haudrauf vs Dahnyul/kondor

[Dahnyul]

Another quiet day on the Eastern front.
turn sent to Kondor Oct 1

[kondor]

WA turn. Another sub was hunted down in Atlantic and there is only one active sub left... It looks like their golden time has passed
There where no Ger. FT-s over W. France so RAF HB-s had a target practice... Salute to the pilots, and greetings to drunk German AA teams, we will be back...
East Africa is in trouble, but every turn which I hold Rommel there, is time that Stalin should treasure and mass his troops... Just to let those Italians that we can hit back- trannie is sunk in E. Med.[8D].
Turn sent to Doug.

[BoerWar]

Germany: Win '42 - Resistance in East Africa crumbles. Mussolini rejoices as the Roman Empire is restored. Dornitz is fired for a spate of uboat losses, he blames the worker's union is blamed for substandard workmanship.

turn sent to haudrauf.

[kondor]

It is clear that AI is corrupted by evil axis forces... I attacked Ger. air force and ended with victory, but AWD had other plans ...
I hope this is one time thing. Load count this turn will go up by one (I hope).
But it is a good thing it has happened early in the WA move...
I will redo it now..

[kondor]

Strike 2! Identical results, same outcome- tilt of the game...
After that I did restart, give it a third go, and went jest fine... (Again with the same result of the battle). Here is the SS of the second error response.
Looks like IJ is getting ready to strike US. And GER is turn or two away from Barbarossa...

[BoerWar]

Germany - Spr '42: German forces move East to liberate Ukraine from Soviet oppression. Thrusts are also made into the Caucasus and East Africa. Denmark joins the Reich.

Turn sent to Haudrauf

[MrLongleg]

And the Japanese carrier air groups have their barbacue in Hawaii. Western and Northern Australia is liberated - moreover supply lines are cut. It is only a question of time when whole Australia will be ours. Northern Philiplines, Java and Malaysia also joined the Japanese Empire. The liberators were welcomed with flower gorlands everywhere.

No screenshots - again I forgot to take them...

[Dahnyul]

Faulty, or dated, Soviet intelligence underestimated the effective range of the German airborne deployment. As a result a devastating attack on an under-manned Caucasus region is exploited by Germany. In addition, a poor decision by Army Group Central in the heat of battle results in a massive number of AGC armies retreating south to the area around Kiev, leaving them cut off from the front lines. Only bad things can come of this!

[kondor]

Kondor as WA... We see that comrade Stalin is in danger so we jumped in. First FT-s from England&Scotland cleared the sky over W.Germany, and then the 2HB-s took out defending arty making way for the infantry... Remaining militia unit was not a problem. In result Denmark is again free. WA troops came in and now W.Germany is in sight. That should relieve some pressure on the eastern front..
On the pacific just some retreats, but in Java sea IJN had it´s first loss- transport down, twenty-something to go[;)].
Turn forwarded to Doug.

[BoerWar]

Germany - Sum '42: On the Russian front the Russian army in Kiev is eliminated. A little bombing is conducted against the WA fleet in the Skagerak. The uboat campaign continues. An Italian guerrilla unit conducts a raid in Congo.

Turn sent to Haudrauf.

[Dahnyul]

Russian Summer of 42 turn.

Thanks to the Western Allies for opening up an early second front. It is a sacrifice that makes a difference. It was a mad scramble to summon troops to the front. It strained the Russian rail infrastructure to the max.

Germany has a huge armor group center that can strike just about anywhere from where it is stationed. Russia remains in peril. China finally had something to do, and they liberated Shanghai.

Dahnyul as Russia / China sends Summer 42 turn to Kondor as Western Allies.

[kondor]

WA turn. Chasing few subs here and there, damaging some Japanese infantry (first veteran award to mine CAG [;)]). Basically just trying to lose as little ground as possible.
Our BEF in Danmark is not reinforced (WA lack of army forces on the ground+to many areas to defended...), instead another air strike on W. Germany was called. Losses where equal on both sides (which suites me just fine [:)])
The game is heating up!

Turn sent to Doug!

[BoerWar]

Germany - Fall '42: Denmark is retaken with some losses. On the Eastern front the Wehrmacht continues to press forward against heavy resistance. A few naval actions are also conducted in the Baltic Sea and Atlantic Ocean.

Turn sent to Haudrauf.

[MrLongleg]

The imperial army liberated Java and Australia. When will we conquer California?

[Dahnyul]

A conservative fall for Russia. No offensives. Russia continues to brace for more devastating assaults from Germany's massive Army Group Center. China's economy remains crippled by the effective strikes from Japan's air force. Fingers remain crossed that the Allied forces will be able to apply sufficient pressures around the globe.

Fall 42 turn sent from Dahnyul as Russia / China to Kondor as Western Allies.

[kondor]

WA turn. Turn of great sea battles in Pacific... Japan is getting to strong, so I ordered my CAG-s to intercept. After the smoke settles none of the existing 4 IJA CV-s in central Pacific is operational... Only that one in Java sea.
I forget to took a SS, but manage to squeeze one in IJA after blow on mine CV.
I needed every resource that I could get to pull this one of, and now IJA is in a bad shape.
Against the Germans, nothing much this turn... standard, hunted some subs, scout W. Germany but there is to much GE Ft-s to engage this turn...
Winter is coming, will GE proceed in SU? Or will they stop now...

Turn forwarded to Doug

[BoerWar]

Germany - Win '43: I forgot to take screen shots. Army group center made a northward attack taking and giving heavy losses. In the South defensive positions have been dug. It was a fairly quiet turn at sea, one transport group on the Murmansk route is destroyed.

Turn sent to Haudrauf.

[Dahnyul]

Germany peals off its Army Group Center into Army Group North and Army Group South. Both massive accumulations of superior strength knock at the doors of major targets. A few tactical strikes against transportation networks (rail and fleet transports) are all the offence the Soviets muster during the winter months, early in 1943.

Intelligence reveals Japanese production information.
Surveillance reveals Germany's state in the homeland. Is homeland security in danger from forces being deployed abroad? Clearly there is a paucity of ground forces in Germany at the moment.

[kondor]

WA winter turn.
Lone Art in Danmark has been sent to factory with continuos bombing, but manages to get autohit on my HF...
In the W. Med. my LF-s had a good hunt. That Stuka was still in transport and sub is just a bonus...
On the Pacific daring move against IJN was conducted. Goal is to separate home islands from supply routes. It is risky, but could pay off...
WA production is under heavy demands from beginning.. No supplies to the SU this turn..
Game is still very close...
Turn sent to Doug.

[Dahnyul]

Wow! Hey that's my partner!
Pretty cool, and just a little bit scary, to see Allied carrier groups adjacent to Japan in the Spring of '43.

This has been a satisfying game for both sides so far. As my partner says, still very much up in the air.
