June 22, 1941.Operation Barbarossa commences (Without me!). Meanwhile, I get ready to kick the allies out of Oman. My Navy finally broke through the British blockade after my Close Air Support planes roughed up the British Aircraft carriers.
Italy managed to seize the port the Brits were operating out of, thank god:
When does this game end btw ? Do you take over ze world ?
Of course

w00t! You're back and as epic as ever

August 8 1941, the German Blitz rages on. Excellent background music for event:
In all seriousness, lets see what's happening.
First up, Army Group South. These units are most relevant to our interests considering I plan on linking up with them at Stalingrad We'll see if I can manage; the Georgian mountains aren't exactly made for fast maneuvering =/ Anyways, Army Group South has rolled up all resistance in southern Poland and is conducting a sweep along the Romanian border, approaching the entrenched Soviet units there from their northern flank and easily routing them. I expect the Germans to continue their push until they reach Dnepropetrovsk and the Dnieper. They should then besiege Crimea and take it, turning it into a German resort for a couple of years Of course, I'm only guessing as to what will happen here; god knows what goes through the head of the AI!
Army Group Ukraine/Center is making nice progress with the hospitable terrain; This is where all the panzers are ladies and gents The Soviets are trying to rally in Zhlobin, but I doubt anything will happen. The Germans have more men, more tanks, and are encroaching fast. I would gtfo on the other side of that river if I was Russian. Meanwhile, a bit North, the door is steadily closing in Minsk. After Minsk comes Smolensk, and then Moscow. In fact, Minsk is referred by some as the beginning of "highway Moscow".
Army Group North is already over-extended =/ They're supposed to lay siege to Leningrad and approach Moscow from the West. They don't have nearly enough divisions for that. But hey, they have a Croatian division. And everyone knows Croatians = 10x Russians xD In all seriousness, I've outline Army Group North's campaign objectives, but I doubt anything will come of them until Army Group Center has pushed deep into Soviet lines with their panzers. Then I guess they can turn to support Army Group North and unravel the entire Soviet line. Time will tell...
Meanwhile, I tidied up the entire Middle East and amassed a nice invasion force for Turkey. Campaign plan is shown along with the terrain. The terrain is the most important feature of any Turkish campaign; it's a bitch to pull of a Blitz in it. Still, my panzers will have a field day in those plains in Central Turkey. Til then my masses of specialized mountain commando units which I have been saving up for this moment will come in handy
I have a bunch of units standing by in Spain for deployment as well. Still, I think 28 divisions should be enough. I'll declare war tomorrow
My assault on Turkey was bogged down for all of October due to supply issues. However, it is proceeding smoothly now. I have split the country in half and am making steady progress.
Meanwhile on the Eastern Front, both combatants have hunkered down for a long, cold winter. No major action will be taking place til spring.
Finland got fucking lolpwnt:
Meanwhile, in Africa, I'm getting ready to hand Italy Sudan. Although why anyone would want to lay claim to that shithole is beyond me:
On the production front I'm focusing on heavy combat machinery and elite commando infantry. I'm gonna have a small army, but damn it's gonna be a tough one
That's all for now. Time to gobble gobble some Turkey!
January 23rd, 1942. The USA declares war upon the Axis:
... at exactly the same time my troops make their first steps upon Russian soil. Oh well, more war, more business
Turkey is almost done for. Just 2 more holdouts remain. I am shifting forces and resupplying to crush them.
Meanwhile, in related news, my entire fucking surface fleet is gone. I was ferrying troops around to crush a revolt in Scotland, and the British navy caught my entire fleet in the open and crushed them. I now have no way of ferrying fresh divisions from Spain to my colonies, and the frontlines in Russia and Africa. It's a logistical clusterfuck. New transports will be done mid-March. That's almost 2 months from now. At least my convoy system is intact and supplies are reaching my troops in a timely fashion. Meaning I can continue advancing and reinforcing depleted divisions, but how far til I'm overstretched? We'll see.
And now that the US has entered the war I have to think about some sort of coastal defense. Hmm...
March 13, 1942. I have seized the vital port of Batun from the Soviets. Why vital? Well, now I have an uninterrupted line of supply to Spain via the Mediterranean and Black seas. I can now literally ship troops fresh from the factories straight into the frontlines in Russia in about ~7 days. Cool
Also, my new transport fleet for ferrying troops is finished tomorrow. Cool
Meanwhile, I seem to have stirred a hornet's nest in Africa. I plan on sending all immediate reinforcements there, as the Russian front is quite in hand now.
Meanwhile, on the Ostfront, the action has resumed, with the Germans launching another Blitz.
Kiev is encircled and crushed in less than a week:
The German drive on Moscow resumes, albeit it's initially blunted by a fierce Soviet counterattack:
The war has broken down in the North. The Soviets have anchored their line at Staraya Russa, and quite frankly I don't see it moving anytime soon, especially considering that as soon as Finland is gobbled up the Soviets will free up 2 more armies. Shitty situation.
30th April, 1942. I've broken through the Soviet lines in the Northern Caucasus, annihilating several divisions. I've finally traversed the entire Caucaus with a sizable army. Stalingrad is a week's march away, undefended:
I'm gonna try and drive a bulge into the Soviet's unprotected southern flank until I get their attention. If we do this right, all the armies in the South of the Soviet Union will be annihilated, and their line in the center will be rolled all the way up to Moscow. Cross your fingers
Meanwhile, in the Southeastern Caucasus:
...Soviets have holed up in Baku. Reason is, Baku is the largest oil producing province in the Soviet Union. Lose and and it will hurt. Furthermore, Baku is historically where all the US lend-lease shipments traveled through on their way to the rest of Russia. If I take Baku and Stalingrad... well, the Russians will be very off balance, lets just say that
In Africa, things aren't going so well. I got kicked out of Sudan, so I'm rushing a couple of divisions there. My goal is to get a slow offensive rolling... one that will eventually reach South Africa and crush them
On the production front, I'm getting ready to field a mechanized army. And what's a mechanized army without some nice Panzer 4's?
Research into Mechanized doctrines for warfare are going well:
I'm thinking about focusing on researching some naval techs, eventually fielding a fleet with a couple of aircraft carriers. I have to start thinking about invading the USA, and aircraft carriers take more than a year to make =/
And that's all for now. Time to initiate Operation Bumfuck Russia:
July 5th, 1942. D-Day. The United States has seized Southern England with 9 divisions, annihilating 4 of my garrison divisions. I have no troops to reinfoce England with as I am overstretched in the Soviet Union and Africa.
July 14, 1942. I'm trying to contain the Americans in Southern England. So, what happened: Americans landed an army of 9 divisions in the South of England, overrunning 4 of my garrison divisions there. I reacted by redeploying all the Garrisons in Eastern England to strengthen the garrisons surrounding the American invasion force.
My German counterparts did even better. Apparently, Germany was ready for something like this. They launched 8 squads of interceptor aircraft and chased away any pesky American aircraft around here. They then went and used a couple of tactical bomber squads to chase away their fleet.
I took the chance and flew in my entire air force from Russia to France. Based from France, they flew bombing sorties harassing the enemy troops, severely wearing them down. I then took 4 spare divisions I had lying around (3 militia equipped with rifles from 1933 lol, and one true up to date infantry division), and used em to overrun one of the provinces the US were holding. My aircraft are now pounding their retreating troops into oblivion. Now, we'll see what happens. Militia vs tanks is never a good match up, but I have air superiority. Picture:
I'd just like to point out how that lone garrison in Birmingham is holding out against all odds Cheers for them!
In Russia, I fucking raped their South, and almost took the oil fields of Siberia, completely cutting off Russia oil supplies. Sadly, the nation of Tannu Tuva (lol wtf, who are they?) managed to stop me with their outdated infantry! Ah, fuck it =/
To get a picture of how much I raped Russia, here's an overview.
In the South I took Baku, thereby completing my domination of major Soviet oil reserves in the Caucasus:
...and I'm advancing into Iran... cus... you know... more oil
Meanwhile, on the Ostfront, Finland got annexed by the Soviets:
The Germans, meanwhile, are moving towards Moscow:
While in the South, I pushed to the limits of my ability to maintain a coherent line, and linked up with the Germans. However, the Soviets are slowly pushing me back because I'm spread too thin and have next to no air cover:
Whatever, I can use the major rivers in the area for natural defense until the Germans push out to where I am, and form a stable line.
In Africa, I'm getting raped:
Completely kicked out of Ethiopia and Sudan. Now I'm just holding on. I'm thinking about transferring some divisions from there into England.
And that's it for now. The balance is a bit precarious considering the Soviets are pushing me back, and England is getting raped by armor, but I think I'll manage
Err, I died. Japan didn't attack US, so USA pretty much raped me in a month lol. Oh, and Soviets raped Germany. Was a pretty fail game, everything went to shit in 2 months. Hahahahaha.
Err, I died. Japan didn't attack US, so USA pretty much raped me in a month lol. Oh, and Soviets raped Germany. Was a pretty fail game, everything went to shit in 2 months. Hahahahaha.
Haha, nothing I could do, too spread out. Look at it this way:
Russia + USA + South Africa + Australia + UK + France = gg lol. Italy fucking failed, Germany fucking failed, I was carrying Axis in Russia til I got fucked. Such a shit game.
