1936: Road to War (easy/fast NES)
- Thread starter Daftpanzer
- Start date
Daftpanzer
canonically ambiguous
1st January 1940 to 1st May 1940
-War in Europe-
January 1st, 1940: Western europe remains at peace, but on edge. The peace was to hold until May, at least, with no obvious sign of Britain and France moving beyond the embargo stage.
January 2nd: Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin retreats into isolation in Moscow, blaming everyone but himself for the current situation. Rumours circulate that he has suffered a heart attack, or even that he is dead. Meanwhile his generals are left in peace to organise the defences for the coming spring.
January 11th: a new supply route to the USSR is opened. The British, French, Canadian and Australians begin sending supplies via Persia, easing the strain on the convoys going north of Scandinavia.
Meanwhile, under French influence/bribery/threats, the Persian government renounces its support of Turkey, and instead announces support of the allies. French engineers get to work on improving the country's road and rail.
January 18th:Under the terms of the Scandinavian Alliance, Norway sends more men and aircraft to help the Finns.
January 20th: controversially, Swedish ski-troops also arrive in Finland to help fight against the Soviets. Meanwhile Swedish engineers are improving transport links with Finland in the far north. Sweden itself remains officially neutral.
January 21st: anti-fascist protests held in Stockholm. Sweden's capitol is forced to shut down for the day. Most Swedes would support Finland over the USSR, but don't want anything to do with Germany and her allies. The mood in Norway is similar, but Norwegian government propaganda has helped win more support for the war there.
February 10th: Finnish troops and their friends begin another offensive to cut off the Kola peninsular. Although outgunned and sometimes isolated, Soviet troops gave especially stubborn resistance on this front. The Kola peninsular would still be in Soviet hands by the start of May. Leningrad would also be holding firm.
At the same time, the Finnish air force is still in a tough battle with the experienced Soviet pilots.
February 16th: Spanish launch a medium-sized aircraft carrier, the 'Tenerife'. Spain's shipyards are struggling to fulfil Franco's desire for new capitol ships.
February 28th: Spanish nationalists begin protesting for the return of Gibraltar to Spain. Over the following months, riots take place at the checkpoints leading to the British enclave and naval base. Several Spaniards and British troops are injured.
March 1st: Romanian nationalists kill several Hungarian soldiers in occupied Transylvania. Hungary threatens a military incursion into Romania, with whom they have only just made peace. Germany, eager to keep peace in central europe, attempts to reconcile the two sides. Meanwhile, reports continue to circulate about brutal concentration camps set up by the Hungarians to punish and kill all opponents of the Magyar-racial-supremacist government.
March 2nd: Field Marshall Keitel arrives in Kiev to organise the next German offensive into Russia.
March 3rd: in Sweden, a time bomb destroys the office of Norrskenflamman newspaper of Swedish communists, leaving 5 people dead.
March 11th: a British merchant ship is bombed by Finnish airforce in the Barents sea, en route to Archangel. More such incidents follow, and relations between the UK and Finland steadily deteriorate. The British public are outraged, and their opinion turns against the Scandinavian countries who had previously been viewed with much sympathy.
March 15th: A small skirmish near the borders of Estonia escalates into a major battle, fought in snowy conditions. The Soviets push the German and Polish lines back a few dozen miles, but pay a higher cost than their enemies.
The rest of the front remains relatively quiet. The Soviets are struggling to match the build-up of hostile troops on their borders, and mostly failing.
March 17th: Turkish battlecruiser 'Yavuz' is sunk by a Soviet sea-mine while patrolling in the Black Sea, with heavy loss of life.
March 18th: with sunny weather dawning in the Caucasus, Turkish troops renew their attack. Again, they slowly gain ground, at great cost. Soviet troops take full advantage of the mountainous terrain.
Inexperienced Turkish pilots continue to fare badly against the Soviet fighter squadrons over the front line, but increasing anti-air defences around Turkish cities help to discourage any more heavy bomber raids for now.
April 12th: German panzer divisions spearhead a new offensive into the southern Ukraine. Soviet planners had anticipated this but were unable to hold the line of the southern Dnieper river. The Germans have been heavily reinforced and are well-organised. They are soon pressing south towards the Krimea and the Sea of Azov. Blitzkrieg tactics are being perfected by the German generals on this front.
April 13th: German progress is good overall, but tanks and heavy vehicles are being bogged down in the mud and slush left behind as the winter snows melt.
April 14th: Soviet engineers blow up the great Dneiper dams, causing large scale flooding to hold up the Germans further.
April 16th: Under German and Hungarian pressure, Romania holds a trial for several men accused of being behind the 'terrorist' attacks in occupied Transylvania. The men are found guilty and executed, despite a strong case from the defence that they were completely innocent.
April 20th: near the city of Belgorod, the Soviets land a blow against the northern flank of the German advance. Early-model T-34's and heavy KV-1 tanks are used in a concentrated counter-attack that leaves many Panzers as smoking wreckage. Hitler is said to be furious. Though, the Soviets are unable to repeat this success, and remain outnumbered and outgunned in most battles.
Meanwhile, Soviet air-power takes a toll on the advancing German columns, despite the abundance of Luftwaffe fighters in the area.
April 25th: the Yerevan incident - Turkish scouts exchange fire with French troops sent to guard road links from Persia to the USSR. As Turkish troops advance further into the southern Caucasus, they are causing problems for the supply line from Persia. Though, their ultimate goal of reaching the Caspian sea remains out of reach for now.
April 26th: with the Führer's blessing, Herman Goering begins to organise trials for those SS soldiers accused of war crimes in the Ukraine. The political power of the SS is weakened, much to the dismay of many fanatical Nazi party members.
April 29th: A handful of upgraded Panzer IV's are rushed into service with Germany and Italy, while many more are in mass production. This new type is a joint German-Italian design.
April 30th: German scout units finally reach the narrow northern approaches to the Krimean peninsular. Soviet forces are lying in wait behind several defensive lines...
(Germany: -6 land, -4 air. Finland: -3 land, -2 air. Norway: -1 land, -1 air. Poland: -3 land, -1 air. Turkey: -4 land, -1 navy, -1 air)
(USSR: -14 land, -5 air)
-War in East Asia-
January 1st: Hainan remains blockaded, and negotiations are still no closer to reaching any kind of agreement. Reports of alleged atrocities committed by French troops continue to be circulated. But it is the ongoing suffering of Chinese refugees caused by the lack of food and medical supplies that gains most attention. France claims that it is allowing all Red-Cross ships to pass freely, and that German officials are preventing enough aid from reaching the refugees.
January 10th: another report of Japanese and Australian ships exchanging fire, this time with no serious damage. Australia's people are increasingly angry towards Japan.
January 11th: New Zealand's small fleet arrives to support the blockade of Hainan.
January 12th: along with the various 'war materiel' being sent to the USSR by the French and Commonwealth allies, Australia sends a small number of its 'Sentinel' medium tanks, specially adapted for use by the Red Army in Manchuria. In other words, Australia sends a direct insult to Japan. Though, it is later reported that many of these tanks ended up in hastily-assembled tank brigades fighting to defend the Ukraine.
February 15th: Nationalist China begins a major recruiting campaign to bolster its forces. The Nationalist army focuses on eliminating the southern rebels, with moderate success, while remaining on the defensive against the Communist Chinese in the west. Reports of atrocities by Nationalist forces continue to come out of China.
March 12th: after weeks of manoeuvring designed to confuse Soviet forces, the Japanese begin a new full scale offensive in Manchuria. The weather remains cold and harsh, but the troops are urged on regardless.
Most of the action takes place around the Amur river, which made up most of the old border between Manchuria/Manchukuo and the USSR. Japanese forces make several new crossings as they push eastwards.
Soviet resistance is strongest in the mountainous areas along the pacific coast. Soviet aircraft continue to contest control of the skies and continue to take a toll on Japanese ground forces.
March 15th: The Japanese begin landing troops in several places along the USSR's pacific coast, naturally with the backing of their powerful fleet. However, fierce storms cause havoc with the landings over the following days and weeks, damaging several capitol ships, and sinking smaller ones.
Also, the Soviets have been expecting these landings. In some areas, small numbers of Soviet troops and militia are able to inflict heavy casualties on the disorganised Japanese as they struggle to get inland. Nonetheless, many of the beachheads are eventually able to link up with forces advancing from Manchuria, trapping Soviet forces in several pockets.
March 31st: Communist forces begin an offensive against the Nationalists all along the front in western China. Again, little ground is gained, but the Communists score valuable propaganda points, and gain more recruits.
April 11th: back on the Manchurian front, success in the east had not been quite what the Japanese were hoping for. Still, they salvage something from their plans for the west, and begin pushing further into Mongolia and on into the borders of the USSR itself.
May 1st: Soviet resistance in the east is now in the hands of a few battle-hardened Siberian divisions, with a mixture of poorly-equipped Soviet and Manchurian militia in support. However the Japanese forces are exhausted and completely disorganised from all their recent advances...
(Japan: -7 land, -2 navy, -3 air. Nationalist China: -3 land, -1 air)
(USSR: -6 land, -2 air. Communist China: -2 land)
-The Rest of the World-
Anti-military protests took place in Canada. Critics of the government called for an end to recruitment and a freeze on military spending. Though, most Canadians still seem eager to support the UK and France, and are far more willing to go to war than the people across the border in the USA.
The run-up to the US presidential election of 1940 is underway. However, Wendell Wilkie's campaign is damaged by convincing claims that he is really in favour of war with Germany and Japan, and is only pretending to be an isolationist in order to win votes. Franklin D. Roosevelt seems to be coasting into another election victory even though he has once again been doing hardly any campaigning. The election is scheduled for September this year.
German-backed political movements - an extension of the International Brigades fighting against the Soviets - are steadily gaining a voice in other countries, notably the USA where they are gaining press coverage over their demands for 'transparency in government spending, to see just how much of the budget is padding Congressmen's pockets'. Naturally they are also promoting Germany and other ' Revisionist' powers at every turn, especially as examples of how to deal with corruption which many US citizens are increasingly concerned about.
Brazil's navy continues to make a point of patrolling the south-west Atlantic. Together with the USA, Brazil promises to protect merchant shipping inside their territorial waters, should war break out in western Europe.
Venezuela announced an oil cooperation deal with Holland. Dutch companies have replaced US ones inside Venezuela to help develop the country's oil infrastructure. Meanwhile the country's industry is being mobilised and expanded by the government, at the expense of all other concerns.
Hundreds of 'spies' were arrested in Argentina, allegedly for trying to destabilise the government with the backing of the USA. A new moderate dictatorship is struggling to establish itself in Argentina. The country's people are not exactly happy, but they remain bitterly hostile to the USA.
The British continued to fight rebels in the middle east and elsewhere, which kept troops away from Europe.
Miscellaneous:
January 26th: Brisbane, Australia, swelters through its hottest day ever, reaching 43.2 degrees.
Notes:
Yes 4-month turn this time. This may be the last time I mess about with the time frame. Im thinking 3 turns/updates per year, IE mid winter to late spring, late spring to early autumn/fall, early autumn/fall to mid winter.
No orders from Gelion or much sign of him in general in the past two weeks. The USSR is henceforth NPCified, and will remain so unless someone *really* wants to play as them.
Finland had $1/turn deducted for support and transport costs. Italy and Germany have had similar deductions.
@flyingchicken, Italy is now at its 'max' $$$ income due to the earlier investments. As you know it can still be increased, if you are willing to spend lots more than usual.
@das, apologies in advance for misunderstanding your battle orders.
@Shadowbound, you know you don't have to wait till the last minute to send the orders
I'm on GMT time as you may or may not know, and I always work offline since my connection is pay-as-you-go dial up. In any case I guess its almost midnight in the USA by this time. I don't want to tell you want time it is here! I wanted to start early so I could finish in one night and get a decent amount of sleep, alas no luck with that (maybe a simpler update next time 
).
@Sparrow55, im afraid your Canadian cavalry graphic was too distorted for it to look right on the map, even once I re-sized it. Things like this don't resize well! I can use it if you post the original small version.

Sorry Daft, but as you can probably guess, I'm here to drop out. With the fast pace of the NES, there is no way I can possibly tie N.China up during my break. I'll be gone for December, so from henceforth N.China is free. I'll join once again when I get back

From United States:
We ask for an end to the funding of political organizations in the United States. We can assure you and the American public not a penny has been sent toward the communists, but the black book of government spending can't be opened on the basis of national security.
The United States is also worried about the continued abuses on Hainan and wish to send several investigative teams to the island.
ooc: What exactly can I spend money on so it isn't considered secret. I mean I can only put in 15 to the economy which I assume is social programs, public works, etc. And my people get even more angry when its in openly raising my military might.

France demands an apology from Turkey for their unprovoked attacks on French soldiers, and demands that the officers responsible be punished severely.

I have another question. Are my land/navy/air points updated with technology I research, or should I spend money refitting/updating them. That way I'm spending money on the military, but not enlarging it.

To Britain, Finland, anyone interested
We would like to denounce both the bombing of British ships, and the choice of the British to send innocent men into a dangerous warzone, not to defend freedom, but to help the oppresive communists. We ask the Finns to stop their attacks on British ships. We ask the Brits to cease sending ships into areas of conflict in which their soldiers could be killed, either purposefully or accidentally. And, if any Norwegian pilots were involved in these incidents, we will force them to stop, either through discharge, or movement to another theatre. If any Norwegians were involved, we would like to apologize, and we are willing to make arangements for payment.
OOC: Daft, were Norwegians at all involved in the incident?

OOC: It's a secret Nazi weapon. As is Gandalf, whom we sent to fight Darth Vader. The chase from Greenland to the Antarctic Ocean will fill many tabloids the coming year, as will the final battle. The thing in New Zealand is the Mafia.
Germany denies any such funding has been sent, beyond aiding the creation and reinforcement of the International Brigades.
As for Hainan, the US is welcome to send a team, but Germany hopes the island will be handed over to Chinese administration in the immediate future, with the end to the illegal blockade by the French and their allies.
The poor Aussies! I don't know what it must be like for the temperature to go above freezing [/stupid american]
EDIT: Is that a bee soldier in Rhodesia?
