Game: 1940
Axis:Panzer
Allies:barnee
Deutschland started off with a large Naval buy including the launch of Graf Zeppelin.
The Soviets went with a Max Paratrooper build.
Nippon constructed a Naval Base off Hainan to further threaten the South Pacific.
USA and UK destroyed there Facilities in PHI and Singapore.
Italia purchased 2 Landing Craft to threaten North Africa and the Middle East.
Germany was able to take control of the Atlantic and caputured GIB and Morocco to give Il Duce a Natl Objective.
They would continue to fight the US and Britain with help from the Italians for control of Gibraltar for the majority of the War.
This heavily impaired the Americans ability to efficiently transfer Forces across the Atlantic.
Operation Barbarossa did not take place until Late 1941 and had limited initial success, due to the need to counterattack multiple successful British Paratrooper Attacks in Western Europe from Early 1941.
The Soviets were also able to succeed with Paratrooper Attacks in Eastern Europe after the start of the invasion as well.
JPN moved to the Hawaiian SZ in Late 1940 with there main Fleet supported by a smaller one off Caroline while still at Peace with the Allies.
This forced the Americans back to the West Coast and there Naval Base in San Diego.
In Early 1941, Japan made a surprise strike at Guadalcanal. This then resulted in the successful invasion of Austrailia. JPN was able to capture the Fctry in NSW intact and reinforce it via Air Transport.
It would take a major combined effort by the Allies to liberate Austrailia, that wouldn’t happen until Early 1943 and Victoria not until Late 1943.
With the Allies forced to Liberate New South Wales at All costs, JPN was able to take the PHI, DNG and all of the Dutch Islands except for Sumatra.
To be continued …
The Reich was able to take lenningrad in Late 1942. Even though it was reinforced with 2nd Panzer in Early 1943, it had to withdraw in Late 1943 or face being cutoff by Soviet Army Group 1 and 2nd Tank, which had moved into Belarus in Force, supported by 30 unattached units. Mostly Infantry.
In Late 1943, Japan was able to make a flanking attack against India via amphibous assault after the British overextended themselves in Yunnan.
Land based Air from Hunan were able to land on the JPN Carriers, and while the UK and Indian soldiers fought above there weight, were defeated.
After just liberating Austrailia, this was a Devastating blow to the Allies in the Pacific, due to the incomptence of the British Commander-in-Chief India.
Many of the Higher ups in the Joint Allied Command, felt he received his just due after learning of his death by the Japanese.
Allied Forces were now cutoff in Yunnan. While still immensely powerful, it would take them a year to liberate Calcutta.
In Late 1944, Rommel is finally able to establish the Afrika Korps in Syria. The German Mediterranean Fleet moves to 97.
The Americans have Fleets off GIB in 91 and London in 110.
Battles of attrition continue in both East and Western Europe.
American Heavy Bombers begin bomging Western Europe Factories in Early 1944.
The Germans are able to retake Lenningrad in Early 1945, but American B-29s are finally able to be escorted sufficiently enough to overwhelm German Air Defenses in Late 1945 and the Ruhr Factory is bombed to maximum damage.
In Late 1946, the War has turned against Japan. They are still dangerous though and achieve a Huge tactical victory in Kwangsi due in large part to excellent Naval gunnery.
However, the end is near for the Axis. The Fuhrer orders a last ditch effort against England by dropping SS Paratroopers in Scotland. This has little affect on the overall situation.
The Red Army have moved into Eastern Poland in Force and American B-29s Firebomb Tokyo.
The Axis Capitulate in Early 1947.
This concludes the Game 3 report for @Panzerstahl-Helm vs barnee. We have begun Game 4 where we will test triplea improvements as well as the Optional Rules for Kamikazes and Flak Towers.
