WW2 Global Unofficial 2.7 US Makes Transports, SID Difficulty, Most Aggressive, No Reloads
Week 47. 1939 - *Japan takes Communist China city of Yenan.
*Took Brest, thanks to my ground artillery brigades. AA downed several bombers, so I focused my bombers elsewhere.
King George V Class sunk off the coast of Brest using airforce, land artillery, and U-Boats.
*Japan takes US city of Guam. Attempt to plant spy in US fails.
Week 48, 1939 - Hahaha! I was quite proud of that British KGV Battleship I sunk last turn, now 4 more KGV's appeared, 2 near Brest and 2 near London, along with another US fleet. Jeanne D Arc Cruiser sank near Brest, along with 2 US Heavy Cruisers, but there are 5 US/British Battleships in this area also.
*Lyon taken!
Strasbourg has been cut off. I will deal with that fortress after the remaining French cities fall. A KGV is sunk near Amsterdam by my Gneisenau Battleship. Hamburg has been diverted to building Bismarck Battleships now, with Bremen and Stettin likely to follow suit soon. Bringing all newly built Armoured Units down to Greece to setup invastion plans for the coming weeks.
Week 49, 1939 - 39th Panzer Regiment destroyed attacking Toulouse.
*Toulouse taken!
Unsuccessful assault on Marseilles lead to 3 Panzer III Divisions being defeated.
*Japan takes Chinese city of Ningpo!
Week 50, 1939 - Bringing additional units down to assist in attack on Marseilles. Lyon and Toulouse do not have a barracks, so it is taking much longer for units to heal. Another Panzer III Division lost in the attack. Gneisenau takes out another KGV, but 3 U-Boats are lost. King George V Battleships continue to pound city of Brest.
Week 51, 1939 - *Marseilles finally taken! That was the most difficult city to take so far, because I didn't start with full support from majority of my airforce, and used no artillery. Repairing my tank divisions and will likely launch blitz on Bordeaux next week. The French country is split into three. Gneisenau sinks another KGV, but takes considerable damage this time around. U28 finally makes it back to safety, just north of Hamburg. The crew narrowly escaped certain death and avoided patrols along the route.
*** Germany (me) declares war on Greece. Infantry and Panzer Divisions are set and ready to go. Panzers will rush towards Athens along the western shore while bombers strike the city. Romania, Hungary, and Bulgaria Infantry will defend the border, and a German 88 stands by to enter Athens once it's taken.
*Japan takes the Chinese city Amoy.
Week 52, 1939 - Lost 3rd and 5th Panzer Divisions attacking Bordeaux.
*Bordeaux taken!
*Japan takes Communist China city of Lanchow!
Now that France has almost been defeated in Europe (the Maginot Line is being destroyed, piece by piece), I will change my battle strategy. I will begin fortifying the German-Soviet border, and start massively developing my air power. Having a very powerful Navy is not a realistic goal, but Germany's airforce can be more useful all around.
Week 1, 1940 - *** Italy, Finland, and Japan declare war on Greece! Greece has alot of infantry stationed in Athens, it may take some time to take the city.
Week 2, 1940 - *Athens taken! It's possible I may rush a transport to take Crete, but I will likely leave things as is for now, until I better evaluate the situation of the Mediterranean.
* Japan takes the Communist China city of Ansi!
Week 3, 1940 - Attack on Strasbourg continues. Half of the Maginot Line has been destroyed. Several bombers and Stukas have been destroyed by AA, and 2 Panzer divisions have been lost attacking various fortresses. Gneisenau destroys another KGV (barely), but it took 6 U-Boats to weaken the 2 KGV stack enough for it to be defeated. A U-Boat Type IX finished off the other KGV. Attempt to plant spy in Japan fails. Thats 5 fails so far, how pathetic.
Week 4, 1940 - Took 3 Panzer Divisions to destroy the final fortress over Strasbourg, even though it only had 1 hitpoint. Another Panzer destroyed attacking a Strasbourg infantry. Still unable to take the city.
*** Germany (me) declares war on Yugoslavia. Infantry and Panzer Divisions are set and ready to go.
* Belgrade taken! Lost 1 Panzer Division in attack.
Week 5, 1940 - Finland, Japan, and Italy declare war on Yugoslavia!
* Strasbourg Falls! Strasbourg had a LARGE amount of defenders! There must have been at least 15 sitting in that city. The Italians were pouring troops in also, and they took out a few as well. Now to deal with the remaining Maginot Forts.
* Yugoslavian city of Zagreb taken!
* Japan takes Su-Chou!
Week 6, 1940 - French Battleship Lorraine spotted in the Mediterranean near Marseilles. Lucky for me most of my bomber group is there, but I am unable to sink it.
* Took Yugoslavian city of Dubrovnik! Lost 1 Panzer Division taking the city.
Finally! I was able to plant a spy in the US! US currently has 14 transports. I believe auto-production has only accounted for 6 of those, and I know US does not start with 8 transports, so it's likely they produced a couple of their own.
*** Signed a peace treaty with Greece, since it will be some time before I have transports in the Mediterranean.
