August 1947
Turn 78

It's time to invade Australia. Maybe the hardest campaign in this scenario.

September 1947
Turn 79

The Japanese Navy embarked from Surabaya straight toward the North Australian Coast.
Time to end the british tyranny and establishing Japanese supremacy.

Found a mistake in the textbox. I think Staln should be Stalin

October 1947
Turn 80

Japanese troops landed on the West Coast of Australia. Port Hedland, Broome and Darwin under siege now.
Unfortunately I lost two Zeros during my air raids near Darwin.

 

[civ2units]

November 1947
Turn 81

We conquered Broome and Port Hedland.

Soviets conquered Messina and Hamburg. Italy now is complete under Soviet control.

 

[civ2units]

December 1947
Turn 82

Again heavy fightings around Darwin with casualties on my side.

 

[civ2units]

January 1947
Turn 83

The Brits started together with the Chinese an attack on Kumming. My Garrison survived.

Soviets conquered Copenhagen and Trondheim

 

[civ2units]

February 1947
Turn 84

Darwin will more and more to a Japanese Stalingrad. I'm losing unit for unit due to british counter attacks.

 

[civ2units]

March 1947
Turn 85

Next turn Darwin will be under my control. At least I hope so.
As supposed the Brits are a stronger enemy than the Chinese.

Great work, and good luck in Australia!
Thanks for pointing out that typo!

April 1947
Turn 86

I finally conquered Darwin, with heavy casualties.

British Empire conquered Algiers

 

[civ2units]

Carnarvon is too under my control

 

[civ2units]

Great work, and good luck in Australia!
Thanks for pointing out that typo!

Thanks, but I´m afraid that Australia will be devided into a Japanese and British part. Maybe I should have attacked the East Coast first instead of the West Coast.
I see now that on the Eastern Coast are the industrial areas.

May 1948
Turn 87

Long time ago I saw american troops in Asia. Now they are back. B-17 Bombers attacking my cities on the Philippines.
British troops are also trying to reconquer Darwin. I lost one of my Battleships, which was on drydock in the city.

 

[civ2units]

June 1948
Turn 88

Lost a second Battleship near Australia. It seems that the AI produces a high numbers of Bombers and I´m losing most of my invasion army.
I´ve also much more fightings near the mongolian border and north of the Manchuria.

 

[civ2units]

July 1948
Turn 89

Some minor battles around my borders.
I´m afraid that I was too lazy developing new technologies. My enemies having much better weapons than me.
When I start a new game I will concentrate on research too. With Japan, surrounded by enemies, it's very hard to trade with other cities.

August 1948
Turn 90

My AA Battery in Manila shot down an american B-17 Bomber. Due to heavy casualties my invasion of Australia has currently stopped.
Meanwhile our brave workers rebuilding infrastructure in Central China.

 

[civ2units]

Rebuilding infrastructure in Central China

 

[CurtSibling]

Nice! Get those roads built and get the heavy artillery pumping out!

 

[CurtSibling]

And I am surprised at the resistance of the AI, that is encouraging that things won't be too easy!

 

[civ2units]

Yes, the AI acts in some points very good. Carriers for example are used mostly in the way they should be. When I spot a Carrier, it always has at least one plane onboard.
But often the AI acts like an idiot. The Soviets for example attacking my city Nomonhan in the Manchuria every turn with a Fighter. I´ve protected the city with two Zeros and
a AA Battery, so there is no chance for the Soviets to destroy anything. But they still attacking the city every turn with one single Fighter.
