For that last question, yes. What does “PH tac” mean? Thank you! I feel so sad for the Japanese. The Soviets should sent all units to Belarus, that’ll be one exciting battle.
Did Churchill get replaced, or did he have a massive change of heart?
Only air units (hopefully) in a conventional battle? Exciting!
I’m unsure what you are referring to.
@barnee
Last time I saw an Air Battle, was in Global 1943, when Western Germany defended with 5 Me 262 Jetfighter units against 3 US Strategic Bombers and 6 US Fighters.
The only surviving unit was 1 US Strategic Bomber - that made a Damage Hit at “1”.
Since then, all Allied Strategic Bombing Campaigns have stopped - unless there has been a unprotected Industrial Complex in range.
Epic!
@the-captain said in Global 1940 Expansions Game Report Thread:

:joy:
@the-captain Haha, I like how you tell the story as if it were a legend or something :joy: :joy:
JPN being pushed back
The Reich needs to retreat. 28 T-34s in moscow aint looking good for the Wehrmacht lol
We’ll see if the axis can get there shit together lol.
Oh yea, N Africa Allied controlled. Brits headed to russia now
I did the Air Battle anyway. Was Gonna retreat and still might but :) It was a Bloodbath. Luftwaffe sent 3 Ftrs 2 Tacs 3Bmbrs commies had 5 Ftrs, 1 was USA and 1 UK.
Combat only lasted 1 rd lol. 3 Bmbrs and a Tac made it through, Tac got shot down by AA. 18 Damage by Bmbrs lol
Russia has no Air Defense. Couple Allied Ftrs coming up, but Huge Victory for the Reich. 18 damage and they only got 27 bucks. Can’t even by tanks now, the commie bastards lol
5 Allied fighters overall, or 7 Allied fighters including US and UK?
It’s late 1945 and the War Rages On. The Wehrmacht made some small gains on the Eastern Front, only to be pushed back. They were able to hold onto W UKR in a disastrous soviet counterattack and bring up much needed reinforcements to concentrate for continuing offensive operations, as well as complete the Formation of a 2nd German Army Group.
A Strategic Bombing Raid caused significant damage to the moscow factory as well as destroying soviet fighter defense, albeit at heavy Luftwaffe losses. Allies are rushing Fighter reinforcements as a top priority to their distasteful communist allies.
The Kriegsmarine retreated to SZ 113, opening Denmark and Norway to invasion from UK LCVs, although both are well defended.
Western Europe continues to be traded in back and forth battles of attrition.
It’s been mostly quiet in the Mediterranean Theatre, although S France has changed hands a few times and the USA was finally able to liberate Cyprus after a year from German Airborne defenders.
The soviets have continued to successfully push back German advances, except for there disastrous W UKR counterattack. UKR will most likely fall this year to Waffen Para attack or Mech Infantry driving through the minefields of W UKR.
The Red Air Force has suffered greatly and consists of a single Tac Bmbr. They must now rely on Allied Fighters to defend moscow. Stalin is both unhappy and distrustful of this development.
An Armored Commissar Corps made strong advances in Western China, until they overextended there lines of communication and were destroyed. They were able to liberate some of there flawed ideological brothers in the process, and with UK help, pushed JPN back in china as well as soviet Far East, mostly due to British help.
Strong Armored Forces and Allied help are keeping the Germans and JPN at bay for now.
JPN, after initial early success on the battlefield, finds itself hard pressed on all Fronts. To the North, USA and British Forces have created a Huge battle of attrition and slowly pushed the emperor’s forces back.
The American Fleet is too strong to destroy or force to retreat and Total war Tank and Fighter builds have taken there toll on the Navy as well as the training of Infantry for the Army.
To the West, things look grim as well. Combined Soviet and UK attacks have liberated parts of china and the Chinese Peasants are now heeding a call to arms.
The slow moving British have finally decided the Indian Army is sufficiently trained for major offensive operations. With the appointment of General William Slim as overall Commander, he wastes no time and sends a Massive attack into occupied Burma. With a small Armored Force pinching into Yunnan, the japanese are hard pressed indeed.
The South is looking Troublesome as well. Never being able to fully conquer the Dutch East Indies, they now find themselves trading for Celebes, one of there few conquests. Singapore is also now at significant threat and with few naval reinforcements arriving, the situation is close to becoming desperate.
JPN retains Strong Forces and is far from defeated, but unless there German Allies can strike some quick and powerful blows, they will most likely be slowly ground down.
In the name of the emperor, the populace has been asked to pray for a Divine Wind.
The USA slowly gains strength, but has yet to establish a foothold in Western Europe. While they have cleared N Africa of Axis Forces, with British help, it’s most likely due to no offensive operations from the axis.
Halsey’s Naval Task Force remains stalled off of the coast Queensland in a defensive role,
while the one bright spot has been the junior Admiral Spruance, in the North Pacific.
Avoiding a major sea battle, he has been able to successfully land Marines and Army Infantry in large numbers in the soviet Far East.
While unable to claim a complete victory, it has forced JPN to alter there plans of conquest, and with British Forces moving in from the East, the long awaited Victory may soon be at hand.
JPN successfully counterattacks.
The Manchuko Army still in trouble but massive IJA reinforcements are on the way. With Naval Trprts able to shuttle back to the Sea of Japan, they may hold the Western Devils at bay yet. Successful counterattacks against the chinese uprising, could also free additional units from the Factory in Shantung.
The American Navy is too weak to take advantage of the IJN, which is currently without land based Air support. Halsey is Furious and may get the reinforcements he’s been Screaming for. They are at least a year away though.
General Slim is going to continue his offensive, but with the recent setbacks in china, is forced to scale back his operations.
Start G1 Late 1946
Axis looking, not so good.
Think Germany dicked around too much. Kriegsmarine went big and was/is ok. N Africa, I don’t like the Brits running wild down there. Probably shoulda done one or the other , not both. lol
JPN started good, dusted china, in trouble now. Still have a lot of power. Allied supply lines aren’t that good.
We’ll see how it plays out lol
Again, please do creative moves to let the Axis win.
After disastrous counterattacks on both the Western and Eastern Fronts in Early 1947, The Fuhrer has been assassinated and the Reich sues for peace.
Nippon has been pushed out of Soviet Asia and lost close to a third of China. It has been forced to continuously counterattack Yunnan to keep the Burma Road closed.
Singapore is threatened by both Sea and Land attack. It has lost control of all it’s conquests in the Dutch East Indies.
While they refuse to negotiate for peace and with surrender out of the question, it is simply a matter of time before they succumb to nuclear annihilation.
Found a couple more bugs. Should be easy fixes. We’ll update soon.
Shouldn’t have let this happen! What are the American aircraft in Normandy Bordeaux? They don’t look like normal aircraft. Thank you!
