Operation Market Garden

[-0blivion-]

Sorry, have a lot on my mind at the moment. I played it both turns now.

British Action

Italian Destroyer and Battleship destroyed off Sparta
2 (or 3?) Italian rifles destroyed in Tubruk
Bombers go at the huge stack near Paris
Bombers disconnect Dyes from the empire

French Action

Italian units bombarded
Spanish units bombarded
German units bombarded

 

[Dell19]

Would like to know just how many rifles you destroyed

 

[-0blivion-]

I really don't know. All i remember is that there is a half health (2hp) veteran rifle in Tubruk, which promoted from conscript...There may be another conscript underneath, don't know.

If i was to bet money on it, i would say 2 rifles killed.

 

[Dell19]

Okay did you injure any units with your artillary as that might make a slight difference on my turn, although I guess I will find out then anyway.

 

[-0blivion-]

No. My artillery didn't do nothing unfortunately.

 

[LostKnight]

Game sent, still waiting for someone to attack me!

In the opening of the Baltic 1 Batt, 2 Cruise, & 2 Subs attacked 2 Batt (Eng) def. 1 Batt (Eng) while losing 1 Cruise & 2 Subs

North Sea (of the coast of Denmark) 6 Bombers & 3 Subs def. 1 Batt (Eng)

Germany bombed London with 1 Bomber

Lastly, the German High Command Anticipates that they will be in Paris by September, or October at the latest. They are also confident that the remaining Yugoslav city along with English occupied Greece to be captured before the end of the year.

 

[portuga]

We damaged a french battleship with a bomber and lost a fighter near Palmas.

That's all folks

 

[Dell19]

Artillary bombardment a success outside of Tubruq, 2 tanks attack and both win capturing artillary.

One tank lost against the Dutch but second tank successful resulting in the destruction of the Dutch.

Bomber in Marseille destroyed

French Infantry unit bombarded near Tripoli, red lined.

The Italians celebrate the 'liberation' of Yugoslav lands and the successful defence of North Africa.

 

[-0blivion-]

British Action

Italian battleship near Sparta sunk and other damaged for the loss of a destroyer. German units outside Paris bombed for no losses to the Airforce.
Units in Oporto bombarded.

We celebrate the almost complete destruction of the Italian fleet near Greece over the last few months. Furthermore, the Germans cannot take Paris this turn with so many wounded. You will never take it.

French Action

Italian rifleman by Tripoli wounded, with the loss of our infantry. Spanish Infantry outside Valencia hit by Battleship fire. Italian Tank outside Marseille nearly destroyed by Bomber. The Italians can't take that either with a wounded infantry, a conscript infantry and a wounded tank. The city will suffer ship bombradment though. One infantry outside Paris destroyed by a tank.

We celebrate destruction of forces outside Paris and Marseille. As long as the French people remain high in spirits, the capital will never fall. Only one Panzer at the gate, and the infantry Germany has assembled there will not destroy our infantry in the city.

Sent to Russia.

 

[LostKnight]

Game sent to germany, nothing to report execpt that I have less money this turn.( why did you have to destroy my bank, the dutch?)

September 1940

Despite the rumors that the British and French expected Paris to hold, Germany finally captured the French capital here in September. The Germans attacked with a heavy bombardment consisting of 10 Art & 8 Bombers followed by an attack of 14 Panz & 2 Inf def. the French forces of 10 Inf, 5 Tanks, 1 Guer, & 1 Flak along with the capture of 1 French Art. German battle losses include 2 Bombers & 8 Panz.

The mighty German war machine followed up this victory by capturing Cherbourg. The attack was made with 3 Panz def. the 2 French Inf while losing 1 Panz.

The Germans are preparing for the British counter offensive and attacked British Lines with 7 Panz def. 3 Inf & 1 Tank while losing 1 Panz.

German Cruise def. British Battleship in the Baltic Straits.

2 Subs attacked British Convoy off of Brest def. 1 Dest while losing 1 Sub.

Germany used captured French Art to bombard French Inf south of Paris.

Bomber bombed and destroyed railroad from Sparta to Athens.

Germany attacked a Brit Cruise off the coast of Bergen losing their Sub.

German High Command is still unable to determine how long it will take to conquer the rest of France, but they have no doubt that the weakening country will fall as German, Italian, and Spanish forces push into France from all directions.

-Sent to Spain

 

[portuga]

We bombed the british invaders in near gibraltar, damaging one infantry.
A ship fired at gibralter and damaged one infantry unit.

 

[Dell19]

Just bombardment this turn. I think I might have destroyed a French Flak unit and the Infantry unit in North Africa was red lined.

 

[-0blivion-]

British

Infantry lost at Cadiz, rifleman killed at Cadiz.
2 Panzers destroyed outside Cherbourg.

French

Conscript bomber takes all 3 hp off a battleship next to Marseille and it sinks

Sorry, played these turns yesterday, thought i had posted here and sent. My outbox revealed otherwise.

 

[LostKnight]

Nothing to report exept that I have killed some annoying deer.

 

[Dell19]

I wonder sometimes whether battleships are programs to be easier than normal to sink... Or at least Italian ones anyway...

 

[rcoutme]

@Dell19, not that I am aware of...of course, that might actually be more historical, given the results of the attack on Taranto.

Anyways, I'm back.

 

[-0blivion-]

Hi rcoutme
Hope i did a reasonable job while you were away. Paris finally fell unfortunately.

 

[rcoutme]

Ahh...it was expected. We held it a lot longer than the AI usually did...
