Tsar of the Russias: HoI2 Kaiserreich AAR

When I read this, my roomies were playing Halo 2, and as i read this post, the game said "Killing Spree!" :lol:

:crazyeye: :lol: That's great! I love it when that happens! ON friday at school this ping sound came out fo nowhere arfter someone made a comment (the ping sound was kind of like one they would have for "You are correct" on a gameshow (except just a regular ping sound, not fancy)). And then a few minutes later after someone else made a comment :crazyeye: . I <3 coincidental sounds.
 
Part 14: Naval War

Since Russia's declaration of war on Ukraine, the Union of Britian had launched a series of Carrier strikes on Russia's ports and airfields in St. Petersburg. Omega, who held a very pessimistic view about the quality of the Russian Navy, refused to allow the ships in St. Petersburg to give chase. But the month of September would see the greatest naval battle in the history of mankind....

St. Petersburg: September 29, 1939

Captain Alexei watched as the British planes flew back towards the Gulf of Finland. Yet another British raid on St. Petersburg. It wasn't even as like the planes ever did anything. They just flew around a bit, occasionally blew something up, then flew away. The raids seemed more like attacks on the navies moral than on the port itself. As he walked back to his cabin, a young pilot ran into him.
Pilot: "So-so-sorry sir! Didn't see you! Um.... Would you happen to know where I can find the Vice Admiral?"
Alexei: "The Vice Admiral? Sure, I'll show you where he is. What's with all the rush?"
Pilot: "I fly one of the recon planes, sir, and when I was flying over the Gulf of Finland, I saw that there was only a single carrier out there! No escorts of any kind! If we attack now, we might destroy it before the rest of the British fleet can catch up!"
Alexei didn't need any further convincing. In seconds, him and the pilot were sprinting across the ship, to get the the Vice Admiral.

Gulf of Finland: September 30, 1939

Captain Alexei grinned to himself as the sun rose over his battlecruiser. Today would be the day the Russian Navy finally proved its worth.
Sailor: "Ship sighted!"
Alexei ran with the rest of the crew to the railing, and saw the lone carrier trying to make it's escape. But there would be no escape now.
Alexei: "Everyone, to there positions! We're gonna catch that carrier, and make it pay for all the raids against us!"
Sailor: "Sir! More ships spotted ahead! Er... And aft! And starboard! And port! We're surrounded!"
Alexei: "IT'S A TRAP!"

Gulf of Finland: October 15, 1939

PrinceScamp surveyed the chaos beneath him as he flew above. The battle had been going on for 15 days, with neither side willing to give an inch. It had gotten to the point where Tsar Omega had moved three squadrons of planes to assist, under the command of PrinceScamp himself. But as long as the British had that blasted carrier, they could match Russia in the skies. But that was going to end today. PrinceScamp had already lost numerous planes in attacks on the carrier, but this time, he was going to personally command the attack.
PrinceScamp: "We're launching our attack run! Form on me!"
Instantly, 6 planes formed on PrinceScamp's wings as they flew towards the carrier. The intense flak fire from all the ships underneath knocked out 4 of the planes within minutes, leaving only PrinceScamp and two wingmen to destroy the carrier.
Wingman 1: "We've got enemy fighters behind us!"
PrinceScamp: "Stay on target."
Wingman 1: "They're closing in!"
PrinceScamp: "Stay on target."
Wingman 1: "I can't shake them! I can't-ARGH!"
The plane to PrinceScamp's right exploded in a fiery ball, and fell towards the sea. Bullets zoomed by his plane, barly missing.
Wingman 2: "My propellors damaged! I'll be no good to you out here."
And then wingman 2 flew back to base, leaving PrinceScamp alone to destroy the carrier. He evaded the bullets as best he could.
Unknown British Pilot: "The Force is strong with this one...."
PrinceScamp checked his targeting computer to see how far away the carrier was. Then, he heard the Tsar's voice speaking to him....
Omega: "Use the force, PrinceScamp!"
PrinceScamp looked out the window at the carrier, then back to his targeting computer.
Omega: "Let go!"
PrinceScamp gave one final look through his targeting computer, then shut it off.
Radio: "You've turned off your targetting computer. Is everything all right?"
PrinceScamp: "Yeah, I'm fine."
Then, a bullet hit PrinceScamps wing. He could still fly, but evasive actions would damage the plane only more....
Unkown British Pilot: "I have you know."
Just them, bullets flew out from above, shooting down the three British planes.
"Yeehoo!"
PrinceScamp: "Kan? Chewie? Is that you?"
Kan: "You're all clear, kid! Now lets blow this thing and go home!"
PrinceScamp dived towards the carrier. Seconds away from crashing into it, he released his bomb and pulled out of the dive. The bomb hit the carrier, and it sank to the bottom of the sea.

Gulf of Finland: November 11: 1939

Alexei: "FIRE!"
The guns of his battlecruiser launched tons of highly explosive shells into the enemy destroyer, causing a massive explosion that sank it to the dephs. Alexei's feeling of joy was quickly cut short when an explosion rocked the ship.
Alexei: "What hit us?"
Sailor: "On the starboard side! Enemy battleship!"
Alexei's face paled. A battleship.... Not one of the ships in the entire fleet could hope to defeat one of those in open combat. He needed to think of a plan....
But before he could, another explosions knocked him off his feet.
Sailor: "Sir! Part of the ships caught fire! We can't take another hit like that!"
Alexei slowly got back onto his feet. Someone had to stop that ship before it sank the whole fleet....
Alexei: "Hard to starboard!"
Sailor: "But sir.... We'll be heading straight for it!"
Alexei: "You heard me! Now turn this ship!"
The ship tilted dangerously to its side as it turned to face the battleship.
Sailor: "What now, sir?"
Alexei looked at the sailor. There was a mad gleam in his eye.
Alexei: "RAMMING SPEED!"

(The last ride of Alexei)

Gulf of Finland: December 2, 1939

Captain Gregory looked around from the top of his surfaced submarine, seeing what was left of the Russian fleet. It wasn't much. Only a handful of surface ships were left. The rest were submarines, and most of them were in pretty bad condition. The British fleet, on the other hand, still had enough strength left to continue its dominance over the seas. There were even rumors of a single British battleship that still survived. If that was true, then any hope for a Russian presences on the seas now or in the future were crushed. It looked as if this battle was going to end in a failure....
Sailor: "Sir, the Vice Admirals on the radio. He wishes to speak with you."
Sighing, Gregory went belowdeck. His men waited nervously. Was the Vice Admiral going to admit defeat? Would the honor of the Russian Navy be lost forever?
But when Gregory came back up, his depression was gone.
Gregory: "Everyone, to your stations! Prepare to attack!"
Sailor: "What? Attack? The sea is full of British ships!"
Gregory: "Well, that just gives us a bigger target to shoot at! Now stop gawking! Get moving, right now! The Vice Admirals ordering the whole fleet to attack, so we can do as much damage to the British as we can!"
And with that, the Russian fleet charged at the British.


The Battle of the Gulf of Finland was the greatest naval battle of all history. Lasting from late September to early December, it is also the longest. The battle ended with both the Russian and British fleets completely crippled; both saw their entire above-water fleets destroyed, leaving them with only submarines. The Russian fleet itself was reduced to only 3 flottillas of submarines. But what is truly amazing is the fact that the Russian fleet, which was only half as large as the British, and which had very little training and using outdated ships, was able to do so much damage to the obviously superior British. In recognition of their heroism, and as a way to admit he was wrong about the uselessness of the navy, Omega gave every sailor who had participated in the battle, whether alive or dead, some form of medal, and ordered for plans to reconstruct the fleet to be drawn up immediantly. But what truly amazed the people of Russia (And got movie directors fighting for the rights to make a movie about the battle) was the sailors who fought in the battles willingness to sacrifice their lives. Alexei's ramming attack, the charge of the shattered renmnants of the Russian fleet to the obviously superior British one, these became icons for Russian people everywhere, filling them with nationalist pride. Which fell perfectly into the plans of Omega....
 
Ok, Supreme Commander Nuclear kid will make his apperance for the war with Finland next update....................right ;)
 
sweet :band:
 
Part 15: Proclamation of the Tsar

It had long been known that Tsar Omega planned to expand the borders of Russia but the extent that he planned to do so was not fully understood, until he gave his famous "Christmas Speech", where he told the Russian people just how far he had decided to expand. His plan to reclaim all territory previously under the Russian Empire was met with much enthusiasm, his idea to expand into all Orthodox and Slavic territories, not so much. But it was what he said next that truly shocked people. He planned to take the territory of the old Byzantine Empire, and reclaim Russia's title as The Third Rome. Russia would extend from Alaska to Hungary, from the Arctic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea. The greatest empire in all history was about to be born....


(Here's some pictures of the territory I'm claiming. Light green is Russian held territory, dark green is stuff I'm claiming, white is neutral, red are enemies.)





 
well... that might take a while, and bring america against us, and germany, and i belive japan, in addition to britain which we are allready fighting.
 
Alaska shall be ours again!
 
well... that might take a while, and bring america against us, and germany, and i belive japan, in addition to britain which we are allready fighting.
Yeah, we'll be fighting all those people eventually. I'm gonna try to pick on the weaker countries, and conquer them before I go for any of the stronger nations.
And from what Omega can tell, Russia's industrial power is equal, or even greater than Americas.
 
Part 16: The Winter War

On January 1st, 1940, Omega decided to give Finland a Happy New Years gift of a declaration of war. On that same day, they declared war on Azerbaijan, but no one really cared about that. While the war in Azerbaijan went easily, with Russia winning every battle, Finland provided the fiercest resistance Russia had faced to date. Russia was used to being outnumbered and surrounded, but not used to facing an enemy with more mobility than them. Russia would drive the Finnish forces back, only to find themselves outflanked and surrounded. Even after two months of fighting, the only forces who experience any success were General SuperBeaver's Ministry of Silly Walks and Mj. General NuclearKid's tank division, who together, along with the help of another tank division run by some guy who no one care about, encirlced and destroyed 3 Finnish divisions. Even the newly promoted General Zhukov couldn't drive the enemy back.

February 30, 1940

Mj. General NuclearKid looked bleakly at what was left of his tank division. Another failed attack had left his division weak and disorganized. The blitzkrieg that had happened in Ukraine was sadly absent here.
Random Tank-Guy: "Sir! Enemy infantry ahead!"
Out from the woods came hundreds of Finnish infantry, screaming as they charged towards the tanks.
NuclearKid: "Everyone, open fire! Radio-Man, what's air recon say about this?"
Radio-Man: "We're facing 4 divisions from the south, and another 3 from the north! All nearby friendly divisions are already occupied!"
NuclearKid: "We'll hold them off for as long as we can!"
Hundreds of Finnish soldiers died as they charged at the tanks, but even more came. Tanks were swarmed by hundreds of soldiers, who would climb on top, throw open the hatch and kill the soldiers inside. Finally, with almost the entire divisions destroyed, NuclearKid ordered the retreat.

 
Part 17: Death From Above

The disater in Finland was finally stopped when Mj. General Nuclearkid, with the famous words, "Okay, now I'm pissed!" ordered his division to take "Not one step backwords!". Attack after attack was thrown at his division, but NuclearKid threw them all back, until finally the Ministry of Silly Walks broke through in teh south and relieved NuclearKid. With their forces in the south broken, and with Zhukovs newly made breakthroughs in the north, it was only a matter of time before Finland was annexed. On April 4, 1940, Finland was officially annexed into Russia (Once again, Omega waited longer than necessary to annex for the sake of giving his generals experience.)

In the Caucus, Azerbaijan was finally annexed. Armenia quickly followed. The Ottoman Empire, seeing a threat to its northern border, declared war. The forces in the Caucus were very disorganized from the nonstop fighting they had been doing, and were driven back by the fresh Ottoman soldiers. The plane squads from Finland were sent to provide air support, and Zhukov drove as fast as he could from Ukraine, leading the worlds first "Armor-Only" army (8 armored divisions and an HQ.), hoping that he would get there in time....

The Caucus: April 15, 1940

Through the mountain passes, hundreds of Ottoman troops charged at the Russian soldiers. The Russians fought hard, but after fighting for months nonstop, they were in no condition to fight against the hordes of soldiers sent against them. But over the horizon, like an avenging angel, came the Russian air force.
PrinceScamp: "The Ottomans have no air support, so I want everyone to dive-bomb them! Kill every one of them!"
Hundreds of Russian planes flew from the sky, shooting and bombing everything that moved. The unsuspecting Ottomans were torn to pieces. In a few hours, all the attacking divisions had been destroyed.


While the initial Ottoman gains had been impressive, their advance was completely stopped with the arrival of teh Russian air force. Whole divisions were copmletely wiped out by the massive bombardments launched by the Russians. When Zhukov arrived, nothing could stand against the combined forces of Zhukov's armor and PrinceScamps bombers. By September (AKA, when the game suddenly crashed on me....) Istanbul had fallen, and the Ottomans had been almost entirely driven out of Turkey.
 
Nice! Too bad the game crashed. Is there an autosave feature?
 
Nice! Too bad the game crashed. Is there an autosave feature?

Yup, there's an autosave. It crashed yet again... It seems every time I try to turn teh Ottoman Empire into a puppet state, it crashes.... Sinec I can't puppet them, I guess I'll have to change my plan from puppeting them to destroying the empire.
 
good, one always wonders what their hiding in those turbans.
 
Part 18: End of the Ottoman War

When Turkey fell, the Ottoman Empire fell apart. The few divisions that could be made to fight back were quickly destroyed. Only Omega's mercy (And his desire to start focusing on more important matters, like actually taking all that land he'd claimed) saved the empire. But the Ottoman Empire could no longer hope to threaten anything anymore. The Empire was reduced to a few desert provinces in the Middle East, and no longer had the industry to support the large army it once had. The war also saw the creation of three new countires: Turkey, Cyprus, and Lebanon, all of which were Russian puppets. With their southern flank secured, Russia began to prepare for the wars in Europe it would need to reclaim it's land.

(The Middle East. Turkey and the Ottoman Empire are the same color, so it's kidna hard to tell them apart....)
 
You've got a real odd looking Middle East empire going there.

Hopefully it'll look better once I finish them off (Not sure when I'll do that.... Peace treaty expires in 1942, but Omega can't wait that long....)

Other Random Stuff That's Happened!

-USA finally beat California. Communist superpower.... Hopefully I'll never have to deal with them....
-I demanded the remaining territory controlled by Tanna Tuva. They accepted, so they have been annexed.
-Invaded Mongolia. Beat them in just over a week.
 
If you were to annex the rest of the Ottoman Empire as well as those 3 or 4 most Western provinces of Iran, it would look much better.

Actually, I don't plan on keeping the territories in the Ottoman Empire once I've annexed it. I plan on liberating a bunch of nations. Only reason I'm holding onto all that land right now is to use it as a staging point for my future war to finish of the empire.
