Germany Fa39

Well it seems that after a very long hiatus the tournament will start rolling again thank to MarshallArt [&o][&o][&o]

First turn Poland is gobbled up, it could not stand a three prong attack [:'(], nonetheless one arty was damaged in the process.
Denmark was taken to prevent the Brittish from poking into the Baltic Sea [:-]

Turn sent to a511.

[a511]

Yeah, great to have some actions to let my mind focus on sth other than the global financial crisis ...
 
Typical JP 1st turn with fookchow taken ...
 
turn to RUS.

[Lucky1]

Russia watches the lightning German conquest of Poland with a measure of alarm. Of course, she expected it, but the rapidity of the blitz was disconcerting. The agreed annexation of East Poland and the Baltics goes off smoothly.

Here is the situation in China:

WAllies, Summer '39: Surprised by Germany's assault on Poland, the Western Allies fortify France.

Germany Fa39

Well the OKW has decided not to wait until Spring to deal with the french, no "drole de guerre", will they launch an all out preventive counter attack on TLC or might even try for Germany itself?

Uboat campaign has started pretty well, the yankess though don't seem to like it, their WR has bumped up.
Air ops also went rather well with a BB damaged.

No luck in the airraids ...

[Lucky1]

Russia / China Fall 39. Not much exciting to post. With the preponderance of Germany's forces in Western Europe, Russian fears are assuaged. Let the Germans bleed the imperialist French and English....
 
China's fighter was damaged by Japan (also damaging the Japanese fighter) during A511's turn. Chinese rail was also damaged.... The nationalists would repair the rail if it weren't in a communist sector.
 
(Hopefullly, the WA can extract a few casualties during the fall of France next turn.)
 
Turn sent to GKar.

Just wanted to thank you guys for keeping up with your AARs, I find them extremly enjoyable and helpful for my gameplay.

[GKar]

WAllies, Fall '39: Britain decides not to waste troops in attacking the superior Wehrmacht and leaves the continent, much to France's discontent...
The Royal Navy does sink a German destroyer detachment however.

Same as joe, this AAR is very instructional. [8D]

[rjh1971]

Thanks for the compliments Joe and G.

Germany Wi40

France has fallen one turn ahead of schedule but we had to pay a high price for it, 2 inf one arty and a fighter, soon they will be recovered but a high price.
Used to play with v1.03 I couldn't undo the HB move, another cassualty [:@].
Also the french fleet rather than scuttle their ships have given them to Britain [:-], the Admiralty will be very please with two french LF and that BB [:(]
The uboat campaign continues...

Turn to a511

[a511]

JP's turn
 
usual JP turn ... still no luck in infra bombing ...

[Lucky1]

Not much excitement this turn. Agents in Berlin steal research info from the special armament programs (and decides to share it with England so as to better weaken both imperialist factions as they bleed each other in internicine conflict). Soviet spies in Tokyo indicate that Japan is building at least two more carriers and CAGs. They also steal Japanese intelligence data. These are also shared with the Imperialist dogs in the West. Russia has not forgotten 1905 and does not mind if tensions rise between Japan and the US.
 
 
I am still learning how to paste pictures for the AAR and fear that I somehow botched that for China. As such, I don't have a photo for this post (sorry). Anyhow, I had a AA damaged by a511. Interestingly, both my damaged AA and fighter (from a previous turn) are in the Sinkiang production queue.  WHY DOES THIS OCCUR WHEN THEY WERE DAMAGED OVER WORKING FACTORIES, WITH POPULATIONS? Anyhow, I redistributed some troops in China to force Japan to attack Foochow (? can't remember name) or to garrison Thailand. Either will create a slight chance of the US reducing its gift.

Sp41: Germany

Nothing much happened this turn. Infrastructure repairs were completed in France and the chore of the Luftwaffe repositioned in Southern Italy were one BB was damaged.
The uboat campaign continued in the Atlantic with 2 TF damaged.

[Lucky1]

In the interest of keeping things moving along, I will post now (a511 has sent me the file several days ago, but still has not posted in the AAR).

Anyhow, Russian spies steal Japanese production and intel data. Looks like Japan is aiming for six carriers. German research data are also stolen. She is engaging in broad-based development in inf, artillery, armour, air, and subs. German strategic air is at 6 evasion (I have been playing 1.03 for so long, I can't remember whether this is an achievement in 1.02.....)

Japan has been bloodying China. Another AA is damaged, as is a Chinese factory. The militia threatening French Indochina is also destroyed by air strikes. Frustratingly, all three damaged Chinese units (!!!!!) have been queued in Sinkiang. My other factories (with nothing queued) inexplicably and illogically seem to be boycotting production of units. (argh) My ruminations about gift reduction in the previous post appear to be rather misplaced. This does not appear to be a possibility in 1.02.....

Sp40 JP (belated AAR )
 
as the high command of JP has made a personal visit to China to give medals to the great IJA, the AAR was not posted until today ...
 
better progress in infra-structure bombing and another AA gun was hit.  so "sad" to know that the damaged AA guns were all sitting in Sinkiang ... Sinkiang will be sooooooo invinicible!!!

WAllies, Spring '40: The British can't but notice that the Med is under pressure (7 air squadrons in Southern Italy!). Veteran subs are hunted in the Southern Atlantic - but not hit at all.

Germany Summer 40

As stated above by Gkar the LW tried to gain control of Central Mediterranean, it wiped out the RAF but the Royal Navy proved to be too much nonetheless will they pay the price for staying in the C. Med.

In the Atlantic two TF damaged for one Uboat damaged ( a veteran one damn autohits [:@])
