This is the story of my game when i'm reviewing Ansteig.

May 1940 The Blitzkreig of France has begun. Paris is the main objective here, but the strategy is to take the lowland cities(amsterdam, lille antwerp, dunkirk) and Amiens and Caen then circle around behind paris and take paris.
August 1940 All of France conquered except Metz and Limonges(both very heavily fortified.
The Bombing of Northern England from Norway by the Ju-88's have begun with casualties high on both sides.
November 1940 El Alamein is taken by the Elite Afrika Korps. Operation Sea Lion is underway with the invasion of York, Leicester and Edinburgh by the invasion forces from Amsterdam.
February 1941 Greece and Crete are conquered by the 45th Panzer and 23rd SS divisions.
April 1941 Yugoslavia is conquered by invasions from Sofia and Oradea and Treiste.
June 1941 Operation Barbarossa has begun!! 150 divisions have gathered along the border in key cities of Constanta, Oradea, Warsaw, Konigstag and Helsinki.
The 1st-34th Ju-88 Divisions are stationed in Helsinki along with the 4th-9th Light Tank divisions. Leningrad is taken underseige from Helsinki with the 25 divisions from Konigstag marking along the northern coast of russia.
Pinsk, Brest-Litvosk, Riga, Vilinia, Talina Odessa Kiev and Kristeniv are taken during the first month of the invasion.
August 1941 LENINGRAD FALLS TO GERMAN PINCER MOVEMENT!!! Nivograd falls a week after Leningrad!
Sumy falls with minimal casualties on Germans sides.
Smolensk is sacked and conquered. The first sighting of the T34-84's are seen in battle destroying 3divisions of Panzer IV's. But the 5 divisions of the T34-84's were destroyed later in the day.
November 1941 Aberdeen and Glasgow and Oxford are conquered in England! London is nearly surrounded with 105mm German guns raining down hell on London!
Kursk is taken by German 55th Panzer and 14th 88mm Divisions. The Fortfications surrounding perimeter cities of Moscow are being attacked to make way to moscow.
Finland is freed by German wermacht. Volgoda and Angelisk are attacked. Moscow is now open to a rear attack!
March 1942Sevestapol is taken after a 6month seige!
July 1942 Belfast is invaded after bombing by Ju-88's. El Alamein , Tobruk and Dorma is taken in North Africa. All of France is conquered so is French North Africa. France is destroyed.

I'll continue this later :)
 
piss easy scenario...I took america within 12 months.

so there...
 
diety level of course -I play no other (even if told to).

Taking america is alot easier than taking the uk...1 crusier, 1 destroyer, 1 pocket bship and 1 paratrooper (on board the destroyer).

I took america rather than bother with iceland

Having played the stupidly designed 'struggle of europe' (I get punished by the events for killing the enemy) and managed to push forward well b4 stopping -will do the scenario to completion as germans soon

My favorite challenge for ww2 scenarios is third reich as designed when playing the allies (the axis are easy)...Rome is so tough to get, and without that you can't really hope to invade france.
 
TSFE is a brilliant scenario.
Anyway back to Ansteig
March 1944Nearly all of North Afrika is conquered except Algiers and Constantine.
Algiers is the strongpoint in retaking North Afrika.
Sicily is fortified and will not be conquered by the evil allies.
The Eastern Front is stabilizing. The Russian Black Sea Fleet is still wreaking havoc on the plans to conquer the Caucus Region. Sevastople is essential on taking the Caucus but the Soviet Fleet and Allied 8th Air Force keep on emptying out the city then conquering it.
July 1944LONDON IS CONQUERED!!!
Plymouth is Allied Capital! Plymouth Conquered!!!!
Portsmouth Conquered!!!!
Cardiff is all that last in England that is keeping the Western Forces to transfer to the east to conquer the REDS.
