WW2-Global

AlCosta15,

The border between scenarios and modpacks is not distinct though.

It should be discussed more at CFC.

Week 5:
I took Perm and Vorkuta. Also my bombers could destroy most of the British forces in my territory. The remaining British were destroyed by the Panzer forces as well as several Russians. Also give the Do 17 lethal sea bombardment. I just remembered that.
Also Tripolis is now mine. The British KGV class BB is finished off by the Ju 87 from the CV Graf Zeppelin.
Also new BB ready: Zähringen. I wll from now on start to give German BBs the names of famous battles won by Germyn as it was already done by the Imperial navy in the times before the beginning of the 20th century. Also Nordic mythological persons and persons from legends like the Niblelungenlied will be introduced.

PC turn:
Nothing really important except the two US BB C2 off the Portuguese coast. And a convoy of 4 BB and a TR coming through Panama.
New ships ready: CV Seydlitz, BB (Bismarck class) Wörth, Weißenburg.

Adler
 
Week 6, part 1:
I have now little time. But I can report that both US BB of the Portuguese coast are sunk by my Bismarcks. Also a French city in Africa is taken as well as the British and Iranian units in my territory destroyed. I have now the ability to launch a large scale offensive in Central Russia.

Adler,

Thank you for the reports.

A good idea.
I also use such names for German battleships.

Stronger escort than usual from AI.

I am looking forward to follow how that turns out.
Thank you and welcome back.

Also:

Version 2.2 will be released March 31.
The coming days will be allocated to bug-hunting.
 
Week 6 part 2:
Heavy dogfights in Russia. 5 Russian fighters downed for the loss of one Me 109.
Also list of the items produced in my cities:
BB Bismarck class: 8 cities
BB Scharnhorst class: 1
CV C3: 7
CA C2: 2
TR: 1
Ju 88: 3
Me 109: 2
Ju 87: 5
Pz IIIG: 6
Infantry: 1
8.8 FlaK: 1

Back to the front: One of my bombers shot down a sixth enemy plane. Also the Russian units were now badly attacked. A Huge stack was damaged although I wasn´t able to destroy one of them.
Then I formed two attack forces on Omsk and Karaganda.

PC turn:
The Russian attacked once and were defeated.
A British CA is spotted in the Indian Ocean by U 52. Also a US convoy of 3 BB C2 and a TR off New Foundland. I doubt I have so many Uboats near...

Adler
 
Week 7:
Heavy dogfights in Russia: 4:1 for me.
U 52 managed to sink the British CA in the Indian Ocean but is now damaged heavily. So I let it return to base- a long voyage home indeed. And with one HP left the chances are not so good.
12 Uboats were sunk by attacking the US convoy. However the two remaining of my guarding wolfpack sank the enemy ships. Still a good price.
25 of 52 enemy units near Omsk were destroyed by my Luftwaffe. Also a Flak was destroyed but there I lost three planes. A bad decision to attack it. The rest is no problem for the Heeresgruppe Mitte. The Heeresgruppe Süd was parted into two directions, one against Groshny and Baku, the other against Aralsk. Also another force was created totake Tobolsk. So the Heeresgruppe Mitte is attacking in there directions, while Süd is attacking in two.
Also new ships ready: BB Schwaben (Bismarck), BB Clausewitz (Scharnhorst class), CA Prinz Eugen.

PC turn:
Russian forces in Central Russia seem not so many any more. Another US BB C2 appears off Gibraltar.

Adler
 
Week 8 part 1:
My naval Stukas from the carrier in the Med are stopping a ritish tank offensive before the beginning by destroying the enemy tanks before crossing the border. The last one is finished off by a Me 109 fighter.
The BB Weißenburg intercepts the US BB off Gibraltar and is now en route to Lissabon to be repaired. The US can´t do that anymore with their ship.
Omsk, Bisciara and Aralsk are taken. And Karaganda. Also the Soviet troops are now decimated by my Luftwaffe and army units.
So long for today.

Germany – Sid – Week 15, 1942

Cities conquered: Lagos, Accra, Antananarivo, Hyderabad, Madras, Calcutta, Kumara, Olenek, Kobya, Leicester, Liverpool, Sheffield, Leeds and Edinburgh.
Japan has razed Amgu and Khabarovsk.
New British capital: Dacca. I was a bit surprised at this choice. I searched Canada and Australia for the new capital, but found it in India of all places, right in front of the Germans in Calcutta and the Japanese in Benares. That’s not where I would have put my new capital. Stupid AI.
My panzers arrived much faster than I anticipated, and I shipped them over to Britain where they quickly conquered all of England. Only Scotland remains.
The British and the Americans assaulted Plymouth, where I only had one German 88. Fortunately they only had one infantry division each, so the landing failed. Stupid AI. I have to stop their battleships from getting so close.
South of India I noticed that destroyers escorting convoys isn’t a good idea. The unit with the highest defense value is on top of the stack, so the British convoy I attacked was sunk before the destroyers were.
The French abandoned their positions in Central Vietnam where they had held the Japanese for so long to go and fight me in India. This was a bit surprising, not to say stupid, since the Japanese are now outside Saigon, while the French (six infantry divisions and two artillery) can only slow down my conquest of India a little bit. Stupid AI.
Currently I’m holding 43% of the world area, and 62% of world population, to contrast with the Allies, who hold 25% respective 27%.
Even if I took all the Allied territories I would still only have 68% of the world area. This is a bit much, so I’m in favour of cutting it down to 55% for a domination victory. That would mean that an invasion of North America isn’t necessary. Keep in mind that a few cities have been razed in my game, so perhaps some 2-3% of the world area has been lost that way, but I would say that the Axis would have to take the rest of Africa and Asia to achieve domination victory (with 55%). Invasions of Australia and America wouldn’t be required.
The Soviets are still holding a few percent (3-4%), Portugal at least one, and the Netherlands 2-3%. If no cities were razed I would have around 46% right now, and the rest of Africa would bring in 5%, and the rest of Asia just about the same, approximately 55-56% in total. So, to conclude: I think it’s a good decision. When you have the power to invade America the game is already over, so it’s only prolonging the inevitable.

Hmmm. Version 2.2 will be released on March 31? I was planning to play the current version till the end, but perhaps I should scrap the game, and just wait for the next version. I don’t have the time to invade America anyway (I’ve already done that in a previous game).
 
Adler,

Thank you for the reports.

Since Russia de facto have been defeated your production-strategy
well reflect that the main-enemy now will be US.

3 BB C2. That is a rather strong escort.

Yes, it is!

Not many Russian counterattacks now.

Russia will probably collapse soon.

Hyperborean,

Hyperborean

Japan-AI is worst with regard to city-razing.

"New British capital: Dacca. I was a bit surprised at this choice. I searched Canada and Australia for the new capital, but found it in India of all places, right in front of the Germans in Calcutta and the Japanese in Benares. That’s not where I would have put my new capital. Stupid AI."

Agree!

Pointless raiding from AI.

"South of India I noticed that destroyers escorting convoys isn’t a good idea. The unit with the highest defense value is on top of the stack, so the British convoy I attacked was sunk before the destroyers were."
Hyperborean

I will look over that problem.

Yes, for sure not a good move from AI.

Hyperborean

Those players that want to invade North America in version 2.2 also shall
open the editor and change victory conditions to those in version 2.1.

"Hmmm. Version 2.2 will be released on March 31? I was planning to play the current version till the end, but perhaps I should scrap the game, and just wait for the next version. I don’t have the time to invade America anyway (I’ve already done that in a previous game)."
Hyperborean

Yes it will be released March 31.

Week 8:
I moved my troops a bit. Oh, and two new carrier: Immelmann and Boelcke.

PC turn:
5 units lost for the price of 4 enemies. The Russian counter actions become less and less. Also U52 in the Indian Ocean was sunk by a British DD. As I already thought. But not so fast.
New CA ready: Tegethoff.

Adler
 
Week 9:
A British CA in the Med is sunk by the Stuka wing on Malta. Although it shot down a Stuka, my last availabe there sank the ship. Also a Britsh tank, which retreated from the last fight, was destroyed by a fighter wing on Malta, which is now elite.
BTW: The FW 190 was not only a superb fighter but also a very good bomber. IIRC it could carry up to 1800 kg bombs or a torpedo. I suggest to make the striking ability greater and a RoF of 4. Also lethal land as it was outstanding as combat support plane.
In Russia heavy air fights. Lost 5 units for 6 enemies. Also Tobolsk was bombed therefore. There several planes were destroyed.
The Armeegruppe Süd reported success: Grozshny, Baku and Krasnovodsk were taken with no losses.

Pc turn:
Some enemy bombardments and the loss of 2 units for the loss of three enemies is to report. Also a British KGV and CA C2 appeared off North Africa en route to Portugal. Good to have 4 BBs near, but not the following turn.
Also a British CA appeared again off Malta.

Adler
 
Week 10:
Malta becomes a good carrier as the second CA is sunk. Also this time the Heeresgruppe Mitte is very successful as Tomsk, Novosibirsk and Tobolsk were taken.
New CV ready: Frankl.

PC turn:
1 Unit lost to the Brits, but one also destroyed.

Adler
 
Week 11:
In the Atlantic my BB Baden sank the British CA while Hannover sank the KGV BB. And U 228 a DD.
This time in the South of the Sovietunion are heavy fights. Alma Ata, Tashkent and Samakand are mine. I think the Soviet resistance is near to a collaps. Unfortuantely the Brits are coming but I am lucky to have my Luftwaffe there.
New CV ready: Udet.
Also my Afrika Korps gets new reinforcements: 12 TR full of troops- sufficient to attack Egypt and British Africa.

PC turn:
The Italians bomb in the Med a tile which is empty. An enemy submarine. Perhaps I should hunt these subs.
Nothing really important happens else than another British CA off the Maroccan coast.

Adler

Adler

The Convoy-unit will have defense 10 and HP +10 in version 2.2.
It will be good idea to escort it with a large number of 1941 Destroyers.
(Or German Destroyers.)

"Week 9:

Adler

I assume you mean the G-version. You are right: It was very good
in the ground-attack role. Should have lethal land.
I will probably include it in version 2.2.

"In Russia heavy air fights. Lost 5 units for 6 enemies. Also Tobolsk was bombed therefore. There several planes were destroyed.
The Armeegruppe Süd reported success: Grozshny, Baku and Krasnovodsk were taken with no losses."

Russia in severe trouble.

"Week 10:

Adler

Yes, its an important base.

Agree. The time is out for Soviet soon.

"Also my Afrika Korps gets new reinforcements: 12 TR full of troops- sufficient to attack Egypt and British Africa."
Adler

Should be enough to occupy Africa.

A sick disturbed person have made a sabotage against WW2-Global.

Downloads of version 2.1 shall stand at 1 800+, but this sick
person have made 25 000+ "extra" downloads as a sabotage-raid.

I have reported the sabotage to Thunderfall.

During the 3 years I have worked with scenario-creation at CFC
I have been attacked by disturbed persons now and then.

This sabotage is somewhat of a record!

Only cowards make such things.

Rocoteh
 
Week 12:
New CV Osterkamp. Also Teheran, Krasnokjarsk and Novy Port taken. U 183 sank in the Caribeanthree enemy submarines, most probably US.

PC turn:
A US convoy of thre BB C 2 and a TR sank two Uboats. As well a another Hiob´s message: Teheran fell to the Tommies! But my artillery is just in range to revenge the Panzer lost there.

Adler
 
Week 13:
Teheran was retaken. So I could take Esfahan and Dushanbe. Also Bratsk is mine. All in all the impression grows the Russians are already overrun. U 183 sank another sub and a ww1c DD in the Caribean.
BB Baden sank another British CA off Marocco. Also a DD was sunk.

PC turn:
Russian counter offensive at Bratsk: 26 motorized units. I will ignore them for the moment mostly and delay ma Luftwaffe to Bratsk to take them out.

Adler
 
Week 14:
Another British DD sunk off Marocco by BB Weißenburg.
New capital ships: BB Arminius, CV Voss, CV Löwenhart.
Kisil Robat, Mashat, Semipalatinsk and Satarino taken.

PC turn:
2 Uboats lost to US BB. Also new British ships appear off Marocco.

Adler
 
Rocoteh -

Just to let you know I am still out here. Eagerly awaiting 2.2 but alas I will be traveling so I won't get to it until next week.

On the sabotage, yes there are sick people out there but please focus on the many of us who are deeply thankful to you for your efforts. We appreciate what you have created.
