Yet another ZWK Game.

[Duke of Marlbrough]

The Allies Massive spending spree is already starting to pay off.

A rushed allied bomber meant to patrol for subs in the mediterranian sea has already found and sunk its first target!

Another rushed bomber in the Americas finds a sub while on its way to an airbase while in route to Halifax; it gains it's first kill dozens of turns sooner than expected.

The RAF sent fighter patrols into the fresh combat zone around Amsterdam to try and pick off any enemy planes within reach. Many of the pilots know they may never come back home, but they know it must be done. In the process they have destroyed a Panzer along with an unknown unit, and 3 He-111's.

In Africa, the Royal Navy began bombardments of Minor Axis troops. They cleverly built a Coastal Battery, but it couldn't do enough to spare their troops fate.

Again, not much to do.

- Tobruk abandoned since there is no way to defend against "His Majesty's Navy". Ugh . Your imperialistic arrogance is fleeting, and soon my industry will make enough ships to choke you back to England.

- Forces for an attack on Marseilles rather besiege it, since the clumsy Panzer II's are becoming useless for anything else. Decent troops are on their way.

- Militia production for martial law is finished in many cities, and now we are prepared for a war economy. The trains are running on time, the next step is just to fill them with Panzer III's...

Forgot to post:

-Declared war on the Neutral's.
-Tallin has been captured.

The great Russian army is now present in Poland ,and is in the middle of orginizing the handover.

the rest is secret.

The struggle against the Axis continues:

*French Bombers bombed Cagliari on Corsica
and killed one defending Infantry Division.

*Naval Bombardment near Marseille.
Destroyed one Pzr2.
The lack of fighting morale amost the Italians is very obvious.
This is not african tribal warriors youre fighting. This is a real army. Go home and enjoy your pizza

*Tank battle near Saloniki.
Lost one M3 and killed none.

Don't get to confident, I've just got nothing to start with. Just you wait.

Two Spitfires shot down near Amsterdam.
Three Panzer II destroyed in the battle for Lyons but it is in German hands now.

But, he's got me as his ally, so he should be very confident.

I'll play when I get home (~5 hrs). Sorry to be the one that always holds up the game. You guys just have way too much time on your hands.

Lol !

I'm just lucky that it's usually my turn just after i get home from work. And since the comp is on all evening i can reply to most of the PMs immediately..

Another Axis Sub was sunk in the North Sea.

Fighter Patrols were sent back into the Amsterdam area and picked off a Stuka in flight and a ME-109 on the ground.

Shore Bombardments were conducted on Amsterdam and Emden.

The Axis will soon realize how big a thorn the Allies can be in their side.

The Allied Capital Ship waits outside Tobruk. It's guns are warm and ready to practice on anyone willing to get close enough.

The axis U-boats are faring much more poorly than anticipated.

That's because they need air cover in coastal areas. Unless they are operating in the open atlantic, they will be very vulnerable to aircraft.

 

[Duke of Marlbrough]

Off the record:
I also thought that to find the subs you would have to 'bump' into them to see them, but just getting next to them they show up.

I think I killed 4 so far, two were by luck, the first turn capital ship seeing it, and the bomber enroute to Halifax (bad move ending the subs turn next to the airbase). The other two were the result of air patrols actually looking for subs. Even the one near Africa was rather lucky becasue I just flew my bomber straight up from the city it was built in and spotted the sub. But, the North Atlantic is having constant air patrols.

On the record:
That's because we are good!

Hey, what do I look like? Of course they won't. Hell, you can take it before I literally feed my troops to your ships. I'll still get it back. You've got a measly 8 tiny, underproductive cities ready to produce for this theatre, and I'm devoting my entire civilization to it. You can't win.

- Afrika Korps prepares for a tactical withdrawal to Benghazi, although a lack of ships could spell for it the same fate.

- Meanwhile, Il Duce's Balkan Empire is falling into place. The Albanian cities of Scutari and Tirana fall simultaneously, closing Yugoslavia's remaining 3 from the sea. Their meager garrisons are no match for my veteran PzIII's which are rolling off the assembly line in Budapest. Greece should be in my hands in a month, and then I can devote myself to the British.

- Italian progress halted in France.

 

[elibb]

Allright, I'll give my subs more air cover.

Um...you didn't attach your game Darius.

 

[Darius]

Dammit, forgot again. Sorry. :suicide:

Heh ,i'm here ,it is just a busy weekend for me.

Ok ,a newsflash:

Russia Guarentees Independance of Greece

Because of the Good relation's Russia has with te Monarchy of Greece ,where from the Monarch itself was once heir of the trone of Poland ,wich he has admirably seeded for Millitary protection of the Newly annexed Russian province ,the Russian's can only but Show this sign of protection for the Monarch's homeland ,as there are agressor's nearby that may think of making preperation's to Invade Greece.

Therefore ,Russia will attack every country that tries to invade Greece.this treaty has only effect on the territory that is Greece ,and not on other Balkan nation's.This treat will have effect for ten turn's and may be renwed afterwards.
