Unfortunately, I couldn’t find anything from Der Kuenstler. Here is the piece Gen Manstein was talking about:

Ok I’ll dial it down. No more play by play lol

It is a game report. Turn by turn results be cool.
Please do more as frequently! It’s awesome at the very least to see the screenshots of the map.
@barnee
The Soviets will soon have to look over their shoulder, as Japan eliminates the remaining Chinese forces and threatens the eastern Soviet territories.
This should take off the pressure on the Germans.
Heavy losses among the Waffen-SS units on the Eastern Front.…
@the-captain yea they’re pretty gung ho the ss boys lol. Germany should be able to outspend 2:1 also and still support the Western Front. Kill off those infantry and life should get better
Things aren’t looking too good for the commies. The failed counter attack against W UKR is a disaster in the making. Shoulda sent another tank if not two, instead of playing pussyfoot with the japanese.
Oh well, well see how it plays out. : ) Seem to be error free at the moment, so probably a triplea update after this test game.
What’s up with the SS Panzer ? Defend at 5 ? What are they ? Fanatics ?
:joy:
Edit
Oh yea new game here. Axis got there ass kicked above lol. Actually retreated this time with Germany. Looks as if it’s about to pay off. JPN under a little more pressure this time. Kept the islands, barely. But not now. They got china and cracked russia open so, not that big a deal.
They’re on the edge in the Pacific though so … yea we’ll find out soon enough. lol
Please let the Axis win!
well i forgot to save after Russia’s turn. That rarely happens and there is a auto save feature with triplea but it didn’t work for some unknown to me reason.
Anyway, I had to redo Russia Early 1945.
Sent a pile of Tanks at W UKR this time. Didn’t mean to send that many but every time I checked the battle calc, it said i was losing. Guess they were intimidated by those SS boys lol
Had to edit and reroll the Bulgaria battle with Paras as i had done the first time. Stupidly thought JPN could attack through Sikang lol. It was a close deal too, as there bonus hits missed, took a casualty and ended up winning with a 1 hit.
Edit
Oh yea moved a commiesar to Urals and Rostov. The Army Groups are toast. Rostov can still support the Center and South. Think the Wehrmacht will be able to advance and hold this time.
If i remember to save lol
Axis win! Axis win (a hope for your game, not a report)!
It’s now Late 1942. Japan defeated China previous turn, and they now struck towards the Money Islands. With a clever fleet strategy, they manage to hold back the Allied fleet around the Carolines. They have two main fleets, the one in the Philippines, and the one around Japan. If the American fleet attacks one of them with everything it has, the combat factors are just in favour of the Americans. But with the Kamikaze tokens, and not being adjacent to friendly territory where fighters can land, this will be a very risky move.
@The-Captain Is this a good position for Japan to be in? What would you do as the US? Risk the attack on one of the two fleets? Pull back to Hawaii and wait for reinforcements? Being annoying by moving the fleet to sz 54 (the one adjacent to Queensland) and threaten to take back some of the money islands?
@victoryfirst :grin:
Looking a little rough for the commies. 30 Panzers doesn’t look good for putin. oops meant stalin. Luftwaffe wanted to support more but had to honor the threat to W Germany.
JPN a bit on it’s heels, but seems too little too late for Allies.
CounterAttack not looking too good
Think Germany gonna run outta steam. See what JPN does
Axis win! I’m so excited! This looks like a very tight game.
It looks good for Japan.
The US should make an amphibious attack against Shantung - and maybe also Kiangsu - to liberate those territories - and have the 2 Japanese Industrial Complexes destroyed.
This will slow down the Japanese advance in Asia - and give the Allies the upper hand.
The US Naval Task Force in sz 33 should stay - block sz 17 and 18 to avoid a combined Japanese attack with Naval Task Forces in sz 6 and sz 35.
I can see that ANZAC and UK have fortified the islands in the Southern Pacific - good idea:+1:
Clash of the Titans
Russian Victory
They were able to keep a Tank Army intact. Probably still fall to the Waffen Army to the North along with the Luftwaffe and the Panzer concentration in E POL.
Not much Allied help but a few fighters, with none coming up next turn. Guess India could send a couple. Might have to.
Down to 19 bucks. Need another Big Victory, but I suspect they’ll slowly die off at this point lol
Edit
Oh yea the Rockets forced the Waffen Army to disband. That will help.
Major Naval Battle in Pacific
JPN Victorious
All there BBs lived too. USA got some Air assets in Midway they can reload on new CV builds. They’ll need to lol
Forced JPN into defense a bit. They still pressured Russia with 3 wins though. UK India getting ready to Flex. Might be too late
Great!
