Andreas68,
Thank you for the report.
"Week 46, 1943
Playing as Germany on medium difficulty.
North Africa
Took In Salah, Tunis, US held Tripolis and the original Italian Bisciara from the British. Invaded Egypt from the west and north with forces sailing from Crete - I conquered Alexandria, Cairo and Suez. Havong Suez is great, shortens the sea route to India, I already sent a dozen Type XXI submarines plus a 1 carrier force into the Red Sea. I plan to raid Indian cities."
Andreas68
You will have severe pressure on The British Empire now.
"Malta is conquered - the Japanese Yamato NE Tunis sailed into the Atlantic as soon as Tripoli was taken from the US, so I suspect the reason for its presence was the US possession of Tripoli - but it twice bombarded Malta before it went."
Andreas68
Yes, that was probably the reason.
"Middle East
Finally ousted the British and conquered Jerusalem, Baghdad and Kuweit. Took Mashhad, Esfahan and Ajvaz from Persia, now attacking Khorramshahr on the Persian Gulf. Plan to take Chah Bahar from Persia as well, opening up a land route to British India. Will leave Kandahar and Kabul alone for a while, being the last Persian positions then."
Andreas68
It will be impossible for Britain to defend India now.
"The East
Took Samarkand, Tashkent and Alma-ata from Russia. Now there's peace with Russia, unfortunately before I could take Kondo which would have given me a land connection to japanese held territory. But doesn't matter.
Pacific
Japan raized Port Moresby. Big mistake, as Port Moresby would have been very useful - if not essential - to threat Australia's Eastern Coast."
Andreas68
Agree.
"America
1 carrier positioned NE of St.Johns near Greenland to cover 3 transports sailing from Iceland and the Northern Approach, 3 carriers cover 6 convoys and a handful transports sailing from Brest - which brings the current total of my first wave to about 100 units. 2 carriers plus battleships are sitting in mid-Atlantic to attack any possible US battleship (one of the last 6 remaining) steaming east. About 25 Me 262 are waiting at Brest to be moved to St.Johns for air cover as soon as it's conquered. If more are needed, I move the other ones west as well (total of about 55 Me 262's). My bombers are still fighting in Middle East and Africa, but the majority (of the He-177, the older ones stay) will move to St.Johns as well. Ten Ju-488 are waiting in Ireland, more being built."
Andreas68
In impressing invasion-force.
It will be interesting to follow how strong the US counterattacks will be.
"The invasion fleet will arrive at St.Johns in week 50, and then the big fight will start. The US is now focussing on building B-24 and Wildcats, now at 18 Wildcats and 11 B-24's. That's the drawback of taking Tripoli, as it was still in US hands, they sent the Liberators there to be destroyed by my bomb attacks. Now the US AI surely stores them on the east coast."
Andreas68
Probably US AI started to late building air units.
Thank you and welcome back.
