WW2-Global

Week 11:
London again bombed, another He 111 shot down. My fleet is arriving the next turn. Then I will wait until the British sent out their new built KGV class BB.
Nothing happens though, only that I retransfered my Stukas to Brest.

PC turn:
The British bombed Brest three times with Skuas. Well, at least they tried it. All three bombers were shot down by my fighters. Also another problem, or is it an oppotunity?, appeared as 4 KGV appeared off the French coast: Three off Brest, two there in a convoy, and another North of the Soanish coast.
Also the US sent another not protected TR. My Uboats are hungry...

Adler
 
Week 12:
I sent my Uboat force based in Brest to sink the convoy. 10 Uboats were sunk until the convoy was destroyed. Two KGV sunk. One of them by U 81. The next capital ship for it. The third KGV is sunk by Stukas. I lost two of them during the attacks.
I also decided to get rid of Yougoslavia and so I attacked. Belgrad was taken with ease. Zagreb and Dubrovnik are also in range for the next turn.
Also it seems the Regia Marina controls the Mediterranean. Good. However they lost the last Ethiopian town to the British. So they are only a European "power".
Again London bombed. Lost 4 planes to FlaK, but destroyed 5 planes ther. The first time, that the effort was not so big. I have to take London ASAP.
So except the mentioned forces in the Skagerrak and the DD Bernd von Arnim and Erich Steinbrinck my fleet is now concentrated in the minefield near Bremen. Operation Seelöwe will begin in one of the next turns.

PC turn:
A US TR tried to sink one of my Uboats. It is sunk with ease, making U 52 elite. It seems the US send a TR every turn...
3 British planes shot down over Brest.

Adler
 
Week 13:
Again London bombed. No losses. The war in Yougoslavia is a bit harder than expected as I lost 3 PzKw III E and still Dubrovnik is not taken. But next turn.
In the Atlantic off the US coast a US TR is sunk.
At last I transfered my Stukas to La Coruna to sink the KGV class BB that shelled the town. Oh I forgot to say my first tech is ready sea 1940. Prinz Eugen is being built in Danzig now as well as I switched the 4th C 2 carrier to C3.
Before I continue very important news happen:

Das Oberkommando der Wehrmacht gibt bekannt:
After rolling air strikes against London a German fleet consisted og 64 warships appeared off London and shelled the city. After that a landing force of 10 Transports loaded 60 divisions on the beach of Great Britain. There was no resistance on the beach. Only one plane bombed the invasion force. Therefore the guns of London fired at our fleet, but there is little damage to Bismarck and Tirpitz.
Operation Seelöwe is successful!
In France a British bomber attacked Brest. Also the town is shelled by a British KGV ship as well as La Coruna. However there will be retaliation measures.
Also the ROP treaty with Itlay is no longer in force.

Germany - Sid - Week 40, 1941

Cities conquered: Ustrem, Satarino, Tobolsk, Omsk, Samarkand, Tasjkent, Alma-Ata, Bardai, Tekro, Agades and Crete. New Soviet capital: Irkutsk (it's going to take a while to get there). The German and Japanese empires are now bordering each other, and the Soviet Union has been cut in two halves, and the southern half is under attack by both the British and the Germans. I think it's safe to say that the war in the East has been won. But it's going to take a while to destroy all the Russian units, they still count in hundreds.
A funny thing is that the Russians are at war with the Allies, but NOT with France or Persia, so their units are still moving in Soviet territory without getting attacked (except by me, of course).
I used my paratrooper planes to land 12 divisions in Crete after Luftwaffe had paved the way. And as soon as my units have rested they will do the same thing on Cyprus. After that only Malta remains, but it will take more effort to take that island, and I need a transport and Bismarcks to destroy the fortress.
In North Africa I found a road through the desert. It makes my conquest a bit easier. DAK is on their way to Nigeria and Central Africa. The British and the French and the Belgians are not putting up much of a fight. I guess they were ill-prepared for an attack in North Africa. My only problems occur when I try to take Libya, so I'm not going there (yet). Thanks to the paratrooper planes I have more infantry than panzers in Africa now. That may change whenever I build a transport in the Mediterranean. But I have other plans right now. I have just finished researching Land 1940, the last 1940 tech (this is week 40, 1941), so I'm going to build lots of Panzer III G. But I don't really need them in Russia, since I have over 100 Panzer III E there, so I'm going to use them exclusively against the British. I haven't decided whether I should move against India or Suez first.
 
Hyperborean,

Thank you for the reports.

"Cities conquered: Kazan, Perm, Stalingrad, Astrachan, Aralsk, Kindal.
My attack on Tripoli failed. The RAF nearly destroyed my panzers, and when my damaged units retreated they were attacked by British ground forces. I think I'll concentrate on the French instead. My last transport in the Mediterranean was destroyed, so I'm relying on the paratrooper planes to reinforce DAK with infantry.
The British are at war with the Russians after they walked right into a stack of Russian tanks. The British have a large presence in Russia, and they have razed Krasnovodsk. The Russian and British are so busy fighting each other that they have almost forgotten about me. It almost feels like cheating when I'm taking the Russian cities."
Hyperborean

A last patch from Firaxis would be of great value.
No city-razing and a "never declare war option" should be crucial
for this scenario. As the situation looks now its impossible to
block war between the Western allies and Russia.

"Army Group North is even further behind schedule since the Finns are blocking the roads, so I've been forced to send my panzers through the forest to Vorkuta where they will assemble.
The Russians have been pushed east of the Ural. And that completes phase one of the operation. The next objectives for Army Group South are Tasjkent and Samarkand.
When the British bombed Damascus they destroyed the harbour. But Damascus doesn't have a coast. Is this a bug?"
Hyperborean

Yes its a bug.
It will be removed in version 2.2.

Yes, as you say this will consume some time, but Russia shall no longer
be able to counterattack.

"A funny thing is that the Russians are at war with the Allies, but NOT with France or Persia, so their units are still moving in Soviet territory without getting attacked"
Hyperborean

Very strange!

Hyperborean

With the exception of the Suez area I think Britain will be
short of troops in Africa.

Hyperborean

I would secure the Suez-area.

Thank you and welcome back.

Adler,

Thank you for the reports.

"Week 8:
Heavy air fights above the KGV near London. 7 enemy fighters downed. I had no losses this time. It must have been a mixture of luck and to use elite Me 109 when fighting against Spitfire. However in these fights my fighters were left with only one HP partly. Nevertheless for the cost of one bomber the battleship, an infantry just outside of London and 3 Skuas were destroyed by the Luftwaffe. Also a convoy was sunk near Brest just in range of my Stukas.
Nothing happened more as I have to wait on my fleet for Seelöwe, which is still en route at Norway."
Adler

A very good ratio.

"Also some remarks:
1. The Japanese advanced in China mostly at the coast and in the North. However Hong Kong is razed!
2. I think all buildings should clean pollution.
3. IIRC I had propsed that before, but I am not sure. Anyway: I altered the submarineyards a bit: Submarine yard VII is a building in all German harbour cities, including Danzig, producing a Uboat every second turn. Submarine yard IX is producing every turn, but is still a wonder. On this way I was able to have about 150 Uboats in service in total. But a third of them were already destroyed. I think it would be a good idea to do so in general as then even the Allied player has a bit more to do at the sea."
Adler

1. Hong Kong will be protected in version 2.2.

2. That have been my intention. However its possible I have missed
some buildings.

3. Notes have been taken.

"Weel 9:
Battle of Britain continues: London, now without fighter protection, bombed. 5 fighters destroyed on ground, 2 Spitfire and 2 Skuas down to one HP.
I tranfered my Stukas from Brest to Gibraltar, where the US convoy is en route to. Also my forces in the Skegerrak are now en route to the Channel. I decided to have them there when the British attack again. Originally they should have joined the rest of my fleet off Norway, but if London has a production time of 4 for a KGV BB, I need my ships there."
Adler

A good result.

"Week 10:
The US convoy and the single transport are sunk. While the latter was finished off by U 51, the Stukas sank USS Texas and the other transport. Additionally a French cavalry is destroyed by them in North Africa. For the loss of 2 bombers (FlaK) London is bombed again. This time many buildings were destroyed as well as 3 fighters and bombers each."
Adler

Pointless raid-attempt from AI!

"PC turn:
The British bombed Brest three times with Skuas. Well, at least they tried it. All three bombers were shot down by my fighters. Also another problem, or is it an oppotunity?, appeared as 4 KGV appeared off the French coast: Three off Brest, two there in a convoy, and another North of the Soanish coast.

I can not understand why AI was programmed this way.

Adler

It will be interesting to see how much resistance Britain can mobilize
so early in the scenario.

"PC turn:

Adler

Yes, I agree.

"Week 13:

Adler

I am considering to add Pro-German (autoproduced) Croatian units
in version 2.2.

Adler

This will be very interesting.
I am looking forward to follow this operation!

Thank you for the reports and welcome back.

I just started my scenario guys and maybe it won't be usefull :

1939 38week :

I've captured Poland , I think it was too late , should capture poland on the 2nd turn .
I sent some troops on Switzerland and was surprised by their good defense , and decided to leave them to desert.
About Russia I put Security Divisions and some artillery near Konigsberg's and Captured Poland's border.
Declared war on Denmark and need one more turn to capture their capital, all their Uboats sunk.
Unsuccessfuly attack on Belgium, made me to stop the attack and capture Netherland's two cities in border with me.
another thing about Russia since I heard that they use to declare war about the 2nd turn, than I gave them Tobbaco for money
and gave them as gift some money after the deal. Stalin is Polite hope he'll keep untill' I'll declare war by my-self.


Pc :
the British has surprised me by their navy forcing on my Uboat near Amsterdam , they sunk all of Uboat plus my Destroyers
Unexpected attack on my Uboats at the middle between the British and America, But their Unsuccessfull attack will remain me a great choice to attack them back with the remain Uboats.
Long bombing by France 8 bombers. 6 / 7 was shut down , the most attack were on Stuttgart.
Heavy bombing by Great Britain 9 bombers that only 2 of them was shut down.
Also Heavy bombing by british with their Navy forces, the luck played their cuz I'd no sacrifices by that bombing.


Again I'm sorry about my english , hope it will intresting to keep report if it will be important / intresting to read that.
and hmm, looks good but gotta have more patience when waiting to PC's turn . First turn I smoked a ciggaret and it did'nt finish yet.
 
and hmm I'm already on 41 week 1939 AD ( My PC slowly pass turns ) . I don't think I should to report them because nothing special happened beside that the British attacks my Captured Netherlands cities and sinks my Navy forces.

Adler was'nt that's hard to capture Switzerland's city ? They have'nt a LOT of troops there but still I'd much losses.
 
I hate to be a pest when there is most likely a past post asking the very same question but I cannot locate it. I just now got a computer that can handle such a massive map and I followed all the instructions but when the game begins to load, it gets to the "configuring senario" part it freezes up and exits from the game. What am I doing wrong? Help Please!
 
Week 14:

Das Oberkommando der Wehrmacht gibt bekannt:
With the fall of Dubrovnik the Yougoslavian civilization ceased to exist. But the most important news come from another front:
London fell! After being shelled by artillery and ships, bombed by planes and then attacked by Pazer III E London, down to 12 pop., surrendered. Transports brought also new fresh reinforcements. With that an attack on the other British cities will be possible. Additionally were in the London Docks a newly built British KGV BB sunk by the Luftwaffe. The destruction is too far as salvage and repair would be efficient. In the fights a single Panzer III E division was destroyed.
Also Portsmouth and Cardiff were taken after fearce fights. However no losses, although many Panzer redlined.
Additionally a KGV class BB was sunk North off La Coruna by Stukas with the loss of 2 elite Stukas (ouch!).
Al last I brought my forces in position to take Leicester, Birmingham and Plymouth.

PC turn:
Only a bit British bombardment. Oh, and in the Caribean a US TR had the idea to sink one of my Uboats. A bad idea! Nonetheless the first sinking in the Caribean.

Adler
 
Week 15:
Leicester, Birmingham and Plymouth taken, unfortunately 6 units, among them elite ones, were killed. Also in Plymouth a British KGV scuttled. My Luftwaffe is now also in Britain, except my Stukas and the fighters guarding Germany.
Also the newest Bismarck class BB, Barbarossa, is ready and en route to join my fleet, which waits on Bismarck and Tirpitz for repairs. Then it will be sent to Ireland and Iceland to take that islands.

PC turn:
Nothing really exciting happens: A few British air strikes on my forces in Britain and an infantry and Cruiser Mk IV tanks invading. There is no big counterstrike.

Adler
 
Week 16:
I could destroy both invading units as well as I sank two British KGV BB in the Irish sea by the Luftwaffe. Not to forget to mention that my single Me 110 became elite after shooting down a British fighter above one of the BB.
Corsica had seen the first use of my Fallschirmjäger. They are now on the island. I will attack next turn.

PC turn:
Again two cruiser tanks invaded. However a British convoy with a Marine, what I was unable to attack, attacked Plymouth and killed a defending infantry. However the marine was now down to one HP and the convoy retreated but is just now still in range of my Uboats. Also another British KGV is spotted.
Gibraltar is again bombed by a French bomber. Good to see the new Me 109 there.

Adler
 
Week 17:
The first C3 type carrier, Johann Schütte, is ready. Also the British convoy is sunk by Uboats. Like A KGV in the Irish sea again, but unfortunately there was a fighter shooting down one of my elite He 111. But the loss is not that important. Also Corsica is now mine. After being bombed by my Stukas, the last defender was redlining one of my Fallschirmjäger but died in the end. The paratrooper was promoted to elite.

PC turn:
Nothing worth to be mentioned, except a few bombing runs on Cardiff and Gibraltar and that I am no longer in war with Portugal, since Japan and portugal made peace. But that news is not so important, as the Portuguese have only a few cities in Africa.

Adler
 
Week 18:
I bombed Dublin and Liverpool. In both cities a fighter was destroyed. Another was shot down over a cruiser tank. However I also lost over Liverpool a bomber due to a fighter.
My Stukas were also transfered to England. So my entire Luftwaffe, except some fighters, are in England now.
The defending forces in Liverpool were able to kill 3 of my Panzer divisions, but the city is mine. The brits have to look for a new capital again (now Toronto).
The Kriegsmarine got also reinforcements: Bismarck- class BB Friedrich II. von Hohenstauffen, Karl der Große and CA Seydlitz. These ships will stay in the Baltic, together with CV Johann Schütte. I will have them therefor the case of a war with Russia. That front was too quiete for now. But perhaps Stalin doesn´t knowhow to come through my fortress line...

PC turn:
Madrid and Cardiff bombed. Also two British Cruiser tanks tried their luck with one of my 88. Bad idea, as they were down to one HP and are now a good prey (Already killed with infantry and the 11th Panzerregiment, which is now elite.)

Adler
 
I know it is a bit premature, but does anyone else want to divvy up the 2.2 version countries ahead of time? So Rocoteh can get a variety of reports when he is able to finish it. I am thinking I would prefer Japan or France, depending on what countries others might want to play. Anyone else interested? We seem to not have any shortage of people willing to take on Germany, but the others can be just as fun. Plus, as those little countries like China :lol: or Finland, the turns do seem to go a lot faster...:mischief:
 
Rocotech...It seems you haven't fixed the German 88's problem of not rotating before attack and the Heavy Cruiser C2 doesn't rotate before attack...any other little bugs I will report later as I run across them ;)
 
goodsmell,

Thank you for the report.

1939 38week :

"I've captured Poland , I think it was too late , should capture poland on the 2nd turn .
I sent some troops on Switzerland and was surprised by their good defense , and decided to leave them to desert."
goodsmell

If one capture Poland on turn 2 instead of turn 1 will not have any
impact on future campaigns.

"Declared war on Denmark and need one more turn to capture their capital, all their Uboats sunk."
goodsmell

A good move.

"another thing about Russia since I heard that they use to declare war about the 2nd turn, than I gave them Tobbaco for money
and gave them as gift some money after the deal. Stalin is Polite hope he'll keep untill' I'll declare war by my-self."
goodsmell

Also a good move.

"Pc :

They will soon run out of steam.

"Again I'm sorry about my english , hope it will intresting to keep report if it will be important / intresting to read that."

No problem with your english.

Thank you and welcome back.
