Week 20, 1940
The news just keep getting worse --- What the heck are these British Commandoes? (14-10-2, 7 health at Regular? What the hell? I suppose they get 12 health at Elite?)
They come out of the jungle and slaughter an Elite Alpine Infantry and Elite Tank Brigade without taking a scratch, and capture Agade. I guess it is my fault by taking the Italians as the perennial doormats. I don't suppose they get to play with any "neato" units? (And, btw, why can't they build Heavy Artillery?)
Bombard and kill 2 more planes on the ground at Plymouth. Use the Breda Dive Bombers to soften up the Commandoes, and use Trajan's 1'st Tank Army to mow over the Brit Commandoes with extreme pleasure. Agade retaken. Bauchi taken with no losses.
Steal Land/Air from the Germans after a failed attempt last turn. Russia is probably only 1 Tech away from building T-34s. Yeucch.
Week 21, 1940
It appears as though the German U-boats rule the Atlantic. Not an Allied ship as far as can be seen, and the Germans are swarming everywhere. Plymouth may fall soon. No Allied counters this turn in Africa.
Bamako is captured with no losses.
Week 22, 1940
Kanakry, Kong, and Mao are captured from the French in West Africa. The British town of Lagos is also captured.
Week 23, 1940
Freetown (British) captured. Caught and destroyed at harbor was at least 1 Heavy Cruiser. In the battle for Kumasi, the Trento Motorized division promoted a new General - Octavian! Kumasi (British) captured with a loss of 2 Tanks.
Week 24-26, 1940
The Germans are making assualts on Plymouth almost every turn, but it is rather haphazard now, with only 2-3 Infantry attacking at a time. Plymouth is being pounded by my Navy every turn, but it is just not enough. 2 French Subs are killed trying to sneak past Gibraltar.
Peru makes peace with the Allies. The Turks and the Greeks finally declare peace after a totally stalemated war.
Abidjin (West Africa) is captured from the French. Accra (British) finally succombs (it was ready to fall with only a red-lined fortress unit left, but then a British convoy dropped in and 2 MG units appeared...D'oh!
All of West Africa is under Italian control now.
My 6 Tank Armies are the *ONLY* thing that allows the Italians to be this aggressive and minimize casualties.
Week 27-30, 1940
What the ????? Russia revolted and is now a Democracy???? I thought the Governments were fixed? No wonder they have been so quiet up there! They also have 44 Marines and 114 HMGs. The British only have 4 Battleships left and 5 H. Cruisers. The US is still looking pretty strong, but only has 9 Battleships left.
I do a safe steal from the Americans for "Land, 1940". We now can build the much improved (relatively) M13/40 Tanks!! (16.12.2, 6 health at Veteran)
Capture the French cities of Yaunde, Bangui, Libreville, Ouessa, and Brazzaville (autorazed) in central Africa. The French have been kicked out of Africa. Uganda and Moyale were liberated from the British. The resistance in British cities takes forever to end because of the huge cultural disparity. We lost several tanks and HMGs to British counters by Marines.
Basoko, Stanleyville, Levpoldville, and Albertville are taken from the Belgians
The Chinese have finally been eliminated! (by the Japanese). Communist China only has 2 cities left.
). There is only one American continent that missing and because I can not fly in airports It to much work to conquer it. So probably I will stop after Eurasia.
so the south is much more attractive.
