DS2 - The Dominating Prusians

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

hehe, landed in France, they lost 5 units, founded city, they lost 94 (!) units for 6 of ours and we got a leader out of it!!! Razed Paris and Poitiers
I guess we can call this "beachhead established successfully, Sir!"

 

[Dark Sheer]

6 vs 94!! Wow! Definitely a job well done!

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

Well, Mech Inf fortified on hill, most attacks across river....

sadly, we fell into anarchy by now but we are having a wrold war, so no problem, everyone else goes commie, too.

Japan declared war complete change of strategy necessary here

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

Turns now take close to an hour each, 1,5 to go. Will upload in approx. 4 hours (need some food now )

 

[Dark Sheer]

I will go for monarchy anytime over commies. Thats what I have learn through all the LK succession games.

If we manage to finish off Zulu then Japan should not be a problem to handle. Just use that stack of Cavalry as sacrificial lambs for Japanese attack until we can get some units home.

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

hehe, the units are home - it takes one turn only, and Japan is already bleeding razed some towns

Monarchy might bw a good idea, maybe we shoudl do the maths...

Zulus are out of reach, one city behind Russia, but i guess Cathy will kill them soon, though she has seriuos trouble with Greece...

 

[Dark Sheer]

Ah, so sad for the Japanese. They were good ally while it last.

I find this game so interesting with all the war in modern age.

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

Hehe, the Chinks also rezed a Jap town And now, we come to the point where I start keeping the towns so the next one will only be one turns move away..... they lack bombers it seems.....

gimme an hour and the game will be up...

 

[D9phoenix]

hehe.. sounds like fun. I would go with Republic over everything else myself. Though Monarchy this late probably won't matter as we have nothing left to research

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

preturn:

Unit Production is changed to Mech Inf almost everywhere, plan being to land the Northern Assault Group (NAG) from near Berlin on the French coast, establish a city there, then rush the airport and fly in Mech Inf. The French will bleed themselves against this, especially as Bombers will cut roads just outside the city radius. Then, the Mod Armour can chew them up.

Airports are rushed in Zululand, to be able to fly more units into our stronghold New Zunguin.

Southern Assault Group's (SAG) Modern Armour is airlifted to New Zimbabwe. Plan: Take the five towns reachable in 1 turns form the front and the circle of towns surrounding New Zunguin in one turn. This will break Zululnads back. They will be reduced to two major towns, Zimbabwe and Mpondo, the rest are fillers. Will ask for their two towns in the east for peace. If they do not agree, three more turns should kill them off.



1786 AD - Babylon and Zulu make peace.

taken Zululand cities off governor - the guy can't keep them in WLTKD!
We are the happiest!
Krasnoyarsk flips
NAG boards Transports, 1 or two more turns and it is ready to set sail! SAG Armor and some Cav arrives in New Zunguin, also, our Stealth Bomber force is rebased there. Zulu will die quickly.

1786 AD - Only two defenders in New Isandhlwana Amitalku coist us 3 MA, but then falls. New Hlobane costs us 1 MA. St. Regs gets beaten up by Rad Arty and falls with no losses to us!
Decision time: do I mop up the Zulu units in the open or do i ignore them and push for more cities? I decide on the cities.

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

Swazi is defended by four units - two of which are Impi!!!!

Intombe has loads of defenders, and two of them are RAMBOs it ends up being 1 for 1, so that's acceptable
Tyendenaga falls, too. Then New Bapedi.
I missmoved a stack of Mod Armor, they are now used to wipe up Zulus in the open. New Unundi - need I do more than name the city? No losses. New Ngome - two MA lost, Cav(!) takes the city.
I expose a huge stack of workers to complete a rail towards Ulundi so the remaining MA can reach New intombe that turn. I want it to make the Zulu concentrate counterattack there, and not somewhere else. It falls with two MA lost.
Our elite Cavalries capture a bunch of workers, they are all set out in Zulu territory to act as diversions / speed bumps. New Intombe is not reinfoced in any way so it will draw the counterattack.

1788 AD - miracuosly, the Zulu squander their three Mod Armor on lost fights. Well, good for us!
Our Mod Armour Armies beat Zibmbabawe to rubble. Shaka had stacked 11 Mech Inf there!!!!!
some more towns taken, will try to get Mpondo next, then give them peace at a high price. Usefull Zulu cities left? NONE :whaha:

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

1790 AD - they take undefended St. Regis back - oh well....
despite 60% lux lotsa unhappiness. ****in' peacnicks! The Regis thing is rightened, then I try to contact Shaka. He refuses - what an idiot! Especially, since now Japan and Babylon both want a piece of him.... Smelled the blood in the water rather late this time..... Mpondo falls as expected. Just to show Shaka who the boss is, we take Bapedi.

the invasion fleet approaches the French coast only to find the selected landing square protected by a Rifleman. Marines are ordered produced, to take car of that next turn Luckily, France is so close we can ship the Marines and attack the same tunr
The French get pissed and want our troops gone..... I agree (but not for long ). Greece chews up Egypt - I don't really like that Must see to grab up as much of the remains as possible.....
Amitalku flips!!!! I can't believe it! This is ridiculous! OK, it's decided, the Zulu WILL survive until I find time to nuke them if I get my way!
Noone votes, the UN being it usual farce only Cathrine has the nerv to vote for herself

1792 AD - take some more of Zululand, he still doesn't want to talk. need to end this thing asap....

1794 AD - troops landed in France w/o problem. Will let them make the first attack (so their MPP doesn't kick in), then found the city - just to keep Babylon out of it as long as possible. Won't help much, but, well....
the quiet before the storm... every town producing a unit keeps it so they all can be airlifted when the beachhead city is established.

Declared war on France when they wanted us to move out. They attack with 11 Mech Inf, loose all, but 3 figths are real tigh.... They seems to have some breath left, at least they let themselves be bought into Egypts war with China.
they Aztecs die out
Babylon declares war (too expensive to buy).

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

1796 AD - Normandy is founded - guess where
Poitiers and Paris taken - and abandoned (needed Paris to get at Poitiers, then it got too far for the Mod Arm )
China and Russia ally with us against France (after France is gone we needn't feer any combination of others, so **** them! Only Babylon can be a problem, but that's what nukes are for!)
Japan and Greece both act very hostile!
Reinfoced New Ephesus a little, next turn, two armies will fly there

The French throw 100 units at Normandy and loose 94 of them WE get a leader who will be turned into an army of Mech Inf. asap. "Let 'em come!"
France declares war on China WTH???? they are at war already! some bug here!
Caught Hammrabi trying to plant a spy

1798 AD - troops flown to normandy and New Ephesus. Will take that entire island and then try to press Hamm to peace. Small French town next to Normandy razed, now, our cultural borders expand far enough that the French cannot attack from their territory

Japan and Babylon ally against China Egypt and China sign peace, Greece and China ally against Japan..... lost it here.... need F8 Greece and China ally agaisnt Russia...... WW 4 or what?????
They also ally against Zulu

ANARCHY!!!! What a ****!!!!!!!!!!
OK, I'll go Commie and kill them all! After all, everyone is in a war atm.

Using Bombers to cut roads between Orleans and rest of French empire, can then take & hold the city. Paris (refounded) is also cut off.

Taken New Mycenae - it was undefended!!!!!

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

1800 AD - Japan and France ally against Egypt. They have landed "serious" Forces on the Bab island - they will die soon They loose another 10 units against Normandy - must be drafting like hell
Japan and Russia make peace.
Japan allies with babylon against us! luckily, I kept troops on the home contienet. Together with China we should be able to give Japan a bloody nose!
Japan takes New indus from us
Maikop flips - I can't believe it! The ****ing AI really wants to be smug!!!!!

Decision time: Who is our main enemy? Japan! So i will try to end the war with France, then move all the units from there back via ship and throw them @ Japan. Japanese towns taken will all be razed to estabish a dead zone they can't cross too wuickly to get at us, except for one path into their Reich.

1802 AD - Tarsus taken from the Japs.
getting angry here, the Japs attack fortified elite Mech. Inf. in size 26 town with elite Mod Arm and win, I loose 8(!) attacking regular mech Inf!
Paris is destroyed, the small Bab island taken - still they won't talk to us. Zulu have a small town behind Russia. I give Russia lots of money + Ivory so they go to war with them. Armies from Zulunad flown back home - Die, Japan!
New Nagasaki razed
The japs sneak loads of units into our territory - glad I brought our French Corps back!
Starvation everywhere

1804 AD - beat up 15 Japanese tanks and Mod Arm + a Mod Arm army that invaded our land. What ****ers, they tried to beeline for whereever and ended up going through our tightest area of cities at the border DOH!
Fukushima, New Yokohama and Echigo destroyed, Guhlaman taken. Another Japanese Army of modern Armour (this one at half strength) is destroyed along with Neo Tokyo.
Orleans taken

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

and then I made a very bad mistake: I forgot about the ten turns and played on!

So you will find Echizen and Kozuke already taken (including a cruise missile in K.) Sorry!


General Situation: Anarchy will be over next turn, so please check all cities (I let them all do as they pleased since I didn't know what the situation would be after anarchy.

The transports are all between us and France, maybe you could throw them east, load them up with mech Inf and a settler and land in babylon???? Found a town south of Ashur, then let them bleed themselves against it (24 mech Inf should do), then push in towards Babylon itself..... Jsut an idea from a very mean mind

The troops in the conquered Roman territories should suffice atm, but on the other hadn if we go Rep/Mon we might also try to take some of Russia and all of Egypt..... That would leave Greece and Babylon and China, and if we then eradicte the mainland China part we should be close to domination....

[Dark Sheer]

Its ok to go beyond 10 turns. The main reason for 10 turns is the turns get long and it can be taxing if pushing for too many turns.

Of course, if the turns is fun like what happen now....its a different story.

I will grab the game when I get hope tonight.

 

[D9phoenix]

lol.. sounds like a blast killer.. though one trick to use against MPPed nations.. use a spy mission that has a high chance of failing. Since they declared war on you you take as many of there cities as we like oh and to just be a total war monger.. get a MPP with the nation they are MPPed with and when they counter attack the first city we capture.. guess what.. MUHAHAHHA

 

[Dark Sheer]

1806AD(0) - Pre-turn. Sado captured. Matsuyama captured. France & Greek signed Peace Treaty. Egypt seems to recapture some of their lost cities from Greek.

(To be continued.....)

 

[D9phoenix]

So you went monarchy or communism ?

 

[Dark Sheer]

@D9pheonix : Monarchy of course. Didn't I say that Dark Sheer is crowned as the new emperor?

And so the story continued:

Here is the savegame
