AWAW 1939-45 Game # 2

OKH reveals that the work on the Atlantic Wall has been completed. Celebrations are expected to take place soon (still there are no trace of the bunkers, but I expect they will be generated with the next events-roll on the subsequent turn).

UK possessions consolidated. British Cruiser heavily damaged in the North Sea.

US Battleship bombed to the bottom of the Mediterrenean north of Tobruk. Alexandria besieged by Axis forces.

In other news, several disloyal Italian Divisions were destroyed near Vienna. Münich reinforced, in case of further Italian sneak attacks.
 
How come I always seem to lose these games...

More fighting in the Mediteranean... German planes caught on the ground and troop movement sevearly hampered by the loss of anotehr group of transports.
 
Since that glorious day in which the working classes of the Soviet Union rose up against the yoke of western imperialism, and forged a new destiny for themselves, they have held in their memories those numerous crimes against humanity; the wrongful and illegal invasion of the Rodina by foreign nations against the rights of our nation. Many nations commited this wrong, hiding imperialist expansionist desires behind the guise of supporting the Tyrant and his family (which we subsequently murdered in a basement). Those most mentioned by the survivers of these times, are the repeated complaints of the war atrocities committed against the people of the USSR by the illegal invasion, and subsequent murders, rapine, looting and various other nefarious acts of war crimes committed by the troops of the United Kingdom, aided and abetted by the government of that same nation. Since the final ouster of these foreign troops, the USSR has repeatedly sought to forward an agenda of criminal charges and war reparations to London. With dismay, we have observed the various elected governments of that nation ignore our legal protestations, refusing to discuss any issue. This has gone on for decades, yet we the people of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic have a long memory... and we vowed that we would never forget! This is not the 18th century, nor the 19th century, in which we the people of the USSR tore down that mad Frog in Paris... and then were promptly again treated with disdain by the government of England. There has been enough talk, and the time for retribution is NOW!

With this is mind, Moskva, at 0600 hours this morning, presented a formal declaration of war against the people of the United Kingdoms. Ensuring that all due process, in accordance with the Geneva Conventions, had been met, orders were issued from Moskva for the assualt against British possessions in North Africa and the 'so called' British Middle East.

At 0605 AM this morning, formalized plans of assualt were issued by unit and group commanders to units in the field. An undisclosed massive number of military Corps had been encircling this arrogantly termed 'British Middle East' and, spear headed by upwards of ten thousand armored units, quickly struck northwards, into the soft under belly of western imperialistic decay. Quickly severing all communications and transportation routes, the ancient and near mythical cities of BEIRUT... JERUSALEM... OIL FIELDS... PORT SAID, along with the British Commonwealth... and CAIRO quickly fell to the Soviet onslaught. Military convoys, apparently headed westwards towards Alexandria were overrun and totally devastated to the last survivor. Alexandria, the sole remaining plaza of the 'British Bastion' is flooded with refugees, as the noose of Soviet might quickly cinches tight about her.

Formal proposal of surrender is offered the survivors attempting to hold Alexandria: lay down your weapons, vacate the city, and you shall be allowed to return to your homes in peace. Decline... and die.
 
The Axis expresses our congratulations to our Russian friends, with the impressive middle east operation against British imperialism, and welcomes the Russian forces to the African theatre.

Axis news :

Hull vigorously attacked and blasted to dust. The destruction of the city halted the German progress towards Northern England, while Axis engineers contemplate new lines of transport to these still resisting UK possessions.

UK Casualties :
1 Royal Infantry Division
1 AA gun
1 Fighter Squadron
1 Carrier sunk in harbor
2 Cruisers sunk in harbor
1 Submarine sunk in harbor

Alexandria attacked by besieging Axis forces - 1 AA gun destroyed, and Axis forces took possesion of the city. The future of the African possessions will be discussed in further detail with the Russians.
 
Germany:

We thank our Axis 'friends' on the hearty congratulations of our Middle East and African endeavors, although you may decide that your thanks were just a 'bit' premature. Our great nations have worked hard, and hammered out what... so far... appears to be a 'working' treaty along our joint European border/frontiers.
Please know that there is no such work yet in place governing Africa and the Middle East (our troops there), and we, in turn, praise the Chancellory of Berlin for mentioning the obviousness of our needing to discuss this shere of influence.

Please understand this: the USSR will *NOT* be stopped from the acquisition of further territories, and expansion in Africa due to Germany's presence at El Alamein and Tobruk. This is, of course, a statement of fact, and *NOT* to be mistaken at this time as a threat). With our troops surrounding Alexandria at this moment... quite frankly, this is one hell of a hot potato, as we fail to understand at this point how German forces slipped into the city. However, while soviet forces remain entrenched, our respective governments have proven now that negotiations between our peoples ARE possible.

With this is mind, the USSR shall advance a 'modest' financial proposal to Berlin later this date, re recent German acquired territories in Africa, and request that it be seriously considered in it's entirety, and we then schedule a negotiated talk re N. Africa. I shall attach this proposal for your review as soon as it's 'final draft' is finished.

((and I was SO damned exhausted yesterday when I wrote that turn BS... sorry about that, everyone))

Proposal for concideration:
 
Blah i had expected Alexandria to hold, you impress me. It's good to see that USSR decided to hop on the bandwagon and bash me as well.

what good Communist WOULDN'T take advantage of the situation!? :cool:

I'm just playing true to the role!!
You know, good old 'send-in-the-tanks' Stalin?

((Besides, it's those damned American's that always seem to liberate, conquer, win (or whatever) and then PAY TRILLIONS to rebuild those devastated countries and return self government and freedom to them... not me! Those damned Yanks are giving people like me a bad image!!))
 
Those "damn yanks" have a lot of big guns in the mediteranean and can qute easily turn their turrents to point at "other targets"

"The U.S. President is petrubed by the Communist Threat from Russia as tanks roll into Egypt and hold the Amercian Embassy to hostage there."
 
War declared against Australia

To once and for all eliminate Western Imperialistic influence in Far East Asia war har been declared to the Commonwealth nation of Australia.
The Ministry of War announces that Port Darwin has been seized by a combined air and land operation. All of Western Australia is being flooded by Japanese troops tearing down road signs and switching them into Japanese.
Emperor Tomoyuki officially grants the Australian government 1 week to vacate it's offices and leave the continent for good.

In another Interview Tomoyuki was asked to comment the developments in the Middle East: "The Middle East does not interest Japan. At least not at the present moment."
 
You misunderstand! The presence of Soviet armor outside your embassy is not to be misunderstood as any type of a 'threat'... but rather, a formal, ritualized type of Soviet RESPECT. :rolleyes:

This was a limited 'police action' against past illegal invasions of Russia by the UK during our October Reviolution. See historical footnotes regards UK invasions and illegal proceedures/crimes about Leningrad and also throughout the Crimea! While you consider 'pointing' those "Big guns" of yours in the Med at "other targets"... you may wish to consider this: do you really desire to broaden the scope of this action, fanning it into further flames? What will help your crippled ally best? Further aggression towards it due to YOUR actions? I think not. Soviet controlled Norway, besides being packed with troops... is literally a 'hop, skip and a jump' from Scotland... and UK seems beleagured enough at this point.

I would respectfully submit that you keep your "Big guns" pointed anywhere but at me... and I will reciprocate in kind.
 
Alexandria bombarded, two units destroyed. Yet another indication of the strenght of th U.S. Navy - it is the only city that dare to raise Nazi Colours the other cities being bereft of military presense.
 
USSR continues to patiently await the long over due response from Berlin. The Soviet proposal regarding the complete German withdrawal from N. Africa, with troop pull out, or disbanding, et cetera to the Soviets... with the understanding that USSR would hold sole authority in this domain... was accepted verbally during initial talks. However, since the formal offer (civ2dip) was delivered to Berlin... there has been everything 'but'... a formal reply (civ2dip) from our beloved friends within the Reichstag effecting these already agreed upon points (???)

USSR admits to confusion at this point, and openly 'scoffs' at those few 'quacks' who propose that our good friends in Berlin have a 'hidden agenda', sending these few Soviet 'pessimists' (who refuse to see the new Russo-German friendship) to Gulags in the East...
 
Utterly convinced, without the slightest microscopic SHRED of doubt regarding the incredible strong forged bonds of deep, meaningful and sincere friendship and respect between our great nations of Germany and the USSR, we patiently continue to await the long anticipated reply from our grand friends of Berlin which shall silence those 'negative dissadents' of the world who are so shallow as to still not be able to comprehend the true nature of true, meaningful friendship, based upon such pillars of respect as Germany and the USSR has for each other.

Snickering at the "'doubting Thomas'"of the world, Moskva cracks yet another bottle of sub zero Vodka in salute to their steadfast German friends.
 
@Morten: I have shipped civ2dip offers in mid 'turn' before. As long as they are available to be opened before the RECEIVERS turn is opened... never seemed to be a problem. At least, people responded that they received it ok.

Is it I who am 'missing something' here? I would certainly rather not lose a turn in consolidating my possessions, and were we to wait... well, I'd lose another turn. Surely you see that? And, as a certain 'someone' taught me in an email just minutes ago... it never hurts to play the "Opportunist". And they even winked at me while saying it!

Like this ;-)

So my point is, we have the opportunity of my NOT losing a turn (since it IS my turn), which can only be to my (our?) mutual advantage?

Suddenly troubled, alert and wary (i.e. "Paranoid", as a friend of mine would say :) ,

Gary ;-)
 
(has it been 45 minutes yet?)

<<<I know you'll appreciate that one, Morten ;-) >>>

Russia announces to the world that they have been in secret alliance with Germany up until this time. However, Germany has not fulfilled their agreements with the USSR, and are 'questionably' (at least!) in violation simply by continued aggression against UK forces in the middle east, marching into Alexandria, which was clearly stated to be the Soviet 'Sphere of Influence'. Further more, let it be known that the USSR believes that Germany has been 'stonewalling'... stalling if you will... 'waffling'... in her committments to the peoples of the USSR, and perhaps been... dare I say it... (gasp!) not entirely 'on the level' with Russia.

As such, at this time, Soviet Alliance with Germany is officially severed, with notification of such obviously delivered to Germany.

Of interest at this time, is how we, the leaders of the USSR, shall feel about the 'non-aggression pact' signed with Germany. We shall discuss this in closed door meeting, and determine whether this should be 'honored' via our good faith efforts, or if Germany's recent transgressions should also negate this pact. Once our decision is made, we shall share it with the world at this forum (i.e. our turn).

@Voltar: official cease fire treaty proposed to you this date.

@Boli: official non-aggression pact offered you this date.

@BKA: suggest a venue/agenda be reached between our Asian sphere's of interest.
