House Rules

• minor countries (except Bulgaria) should stay neutral or allied with Germany until they reach the third era of the technological tree (1943). After, they can freely choose their side
• every autoproduce unit (units constructed at regular interval by some buildings) should be dissolved in another city in order that this unit could be captured or destroyed by ennemy
  
• if Staline is killed, this is an immediate victory for Germany and his allies
  
• if Hitler is killed, this is an immediate victory for Russia and his allies
  
• if Mussolini is killed, Italy (and Hungary in this particular case) is forced to declare war upon Germany immediatly and must stay in war against this country until the end of the game
  
• Sweden is neutral so you can't paradrop unit there to build airbase or whatever. Exception, the iron mines in the north of the country (near Narvik) can be attacked and destroyed
  
• one is not able to exchange cities between nations if the considered city has a hostile unit in its radius
  
• USSR cannot engage diplomacy until she has the "camarade Molotov" technology
  
• the construction of the UNO entails the immediate victory of the country that achieved this wonder (there is not an election as in classic game of civ3)
  
• Germany and Russia can't deliberaly ally themselves against a minor country. Germany is in war with USSR until the end of the game

[Spartaca]

Did you make any changes to the scenario or is it still the same as the other PBEM we played general-jcl?

 

[general-jcl]

No it's the same game

@Civinator: thank you! I hope we can soon launch a pbem game on SOE here

 

[Hasdrubal Barca]

Romania and Finland will conquer eastearn europe! (i know its a dream but its a good dream )

Good luck to all!

Edit: Could you pls add to the house rules that minor countries can´t be attacked on turn zero to allow for game balance? thank you!

 

[Spartaca]

Germany launches surprise attack on Russia! Liepaja, Brest-Litovsk and Raseiniai were captured in lightning attacks with minimal resistance. German forces engage Russian units all along the Eastern Front and move in on many other Russian cities. Strategic bombing of Russian roads was conducted to cut off the retreat of fleeing Russian units. Hitler announces that it will be a quick war similar to the conquest of Western Europe and invites neighboring countries to join in helping eliminate the red menace once and for all.

 

[Hasdrubal Barca]

Will play tommorrow, but save is not on box, pls resend!

 

[Spartaca]

I finished playing late in the morning and didn't get around to sending it yet. I'll send it when I get home from work.

The Italians and Hungarians revolt against their leader due to the lack of prosecution of the war against Russia. M60A3TTS, a brash new commander, seizes power and vows to help push the Russians back to Siberia.

 

[general-jcl]

I'm on hollidays with a poor internet connection but it works!
So you can send me the save and i can play the game too..

 

[M60A3TTS]

Need your email address. You can PM me with it and I will play and send.

 

[M60A3TTS]

Update- Played Hungary but not entirely sure what is supposed to happen next. I expected the AI to play and then I would move on to Italy. Game just quit instead. When I try and open my save, it brings up the Bulgarians as the next option to play.

 

[M60A3TTS]

The first week of war against the Soviet Union is a fairly quiet one for these German allies.

Hungary- Admiral Horthy's mobile infantry makes first contact against their Soviet adversaries.

At Stanislav:

Air strike damages 44 Mountain Div
Cav Regt lost to Mountain Division
2. Motor Brigade defeats 76.2mm field gun 44 Mtn Div.
1. Motor Brigade defeats Mountain Division.
2. Motor Brigade (38mm Toldi) defeats 122mm arty 44 Mtn Div

Italy and Bulgaria applaud the move by Fuhrer Hitler to remove the Red menace once and for all. It is quite clear that the mass buildup of Soviet troops these past years has been solely for the purpose of crushing their neighbors. Presently moral support is the best the Italian and Bulgarian governments can offer. But troops are being mustered for the long struggle ahead.

Except for the units that were built this turn, USSR still can't move.

 

[Spartaca]

Germany summary turn #27

Germany continued its advance into Russia capturing Lutsk, Kovel, Pinsk, Grodno, Kaimas, Bentspils, Rovno and Wilan. There were lots of battles against Russian troops outside these cities but Germany prevailed in most with the help of artillery and air support. Of note, Germany destroyed 3 planes on an airfield west of Zhitomer and another 3 on an airfield west of Minsk. There was some strategic bombing of Russian roads. Germany killed one Russian partisan unit NE of Sarajevo.
