stjeand(Axis) vs Nirosi(Allies) Nirosi may look

[stjeand]

Turn 35

Germany builds some supply trucks.
Sadly I forget other stuff...but I believe a handful of MS and 1 escort.

[stjeand]

Turn 36

Sunk 1MS
Germany built a Inf Corp, sub and some supply trucks. Time to start stalking up.

Germany and Italy invade Vichy...Africa falls but Vichy survives due to snow movement.

[stjeand]

Turn 37

6MS sunk as the Bismarck hunts off the US coast
Germany builds infantry corp and trucks

Vichy falls...troops sail in.
Italy avoids major losses and just takes some damage to a CA and 2 DD...and loses a sub.

[stjeand]

I apparently lost some turns...

Turn 40

Surface fleet gets smashes...
Every attack succeeds against it. Even 2 subs hit the Bismarck twice.
All ships till afloat but barely. 3 successful attacks...crazy.
Sink 6MS total...but losses are well into the 500PP range.
Build Inf corps and trucks...

Looking at the map...don't think I have enough infantry. I have not even started fixing or upgrading units.

How close were you to a British controlled land/coast hex? The closer you are the better the British recon and the greater the chance that you will be found.

[stjeand]

I was close over by Canada...but they have found me on the African coast and in the middle of the Atlantic...I think they did not find me once out of 6 or 7 attempts.
I try to stay away from the coasts but it is only so far that you can run and not be near some port somewhere.


VERY unlike our game where you could not find me for months and months...

[stjeand]

Turn 41

12 MS sunk...4sub hits...
Surface fleet escapes any more harm but damage is done. Not sure they will be able to leave port again without ships sinking
Building more supply trucks.

Changed production to repairs as most air units are still damaged and none of the armor has been upgraded.

Time is short...not sure I will have the troops to invade. May have to delay until 42...

[stjeand]

Turn 42

4MS sunk 2 sub hits.
Building more supply trucks.

Italy builds a couple landing craft.

[stjeand]

Turn 43

All subs in port
Built some German Landing Craft as I was out and supply trucks.
Air needs repair badly...still had not repaired due to all the armor that needed to upgrade.

Next turn is end of April...I look good for the invasion of the USSR...though need more troops in Africa for the UK counter that is bound to come.

[stjeand]

Turn 44
Snow last turn kept efficiencies in the 70s and 80s...so the invasion is delayed.
Hopefully not for long.
All air is FINALLY repaired.
Upgrading the last of the invading infantry.
I send the German surface fleet south to a port off Africa. Each time I do they UK sorties all their ships south. Just draining their oil as best I can.

Subs take 2 hits and sink 8MS and 3 escorts...good turn.

[stjeand]

Turn 46 May 23, 1941

Subs sink 5MS but take 6 hits.

The UK has 170 MS left and 31 Escorts...


Time has come for the attack on the USSR.
Germany is able to muster the following forces:

17 Infantry Corps
11 Armored Corps
3/4 Mech Corps (Deciding if I need to send one to Africa)
2 Italian Armor
1 Italian Mech
284 Supply trucks (140 in deployment queue)

Turn 47

8MS sunk 2 Escorts and 1 sub hit...
Seems I left some new port that Al added and the Russians invaded Germany capturing Hamburg.
No matter...it was a one turn hurrah.

Africa is still at a stand off...

I am deferring from Lenningrad and heading straight across towards Moscow.
In the South another large pocket that will be out of supply next turn.
The Russians are running short on troops in the south.

The declare war on Persia...though don't need the oil. They let the UK capture the south while they head in with a armor...which is good...that armor is now not near the lines.
The South is in a bad way. Could have it fully contained in 2 turns if all goes well.
