ZWK PBEM Game

One of our three new King George V battleships bumped into a U-boat by accident and sank it while coming out of port on its maiden voyage. (15 units destroyed, I sure hope that was 14 torps and not an invasion force).

A limping axis cruiser was discovered west of Amsterdam but all available air assets were deployed in Scandanavia and Southern France so we had to let that one get away.

Bordeaux taken without much incident. The remnants of the German Sixth Army surrendered to avoid further slaughter.

Shot down a recon patrol in the baltic.

Willem just posted a map at the beggining of this cycle (soviet week 104)- absolutely nothing has happened except I took bordeaux.

Oops, it's hard to get all these ZWK games straight in my mind
 
* Rostov finishes Capital Ship
* Katowice conquered
* Krakow conquered
* Bratislava conquered
* Scutari conquered
* Danzig conquered
* Vienna bombed empty
* Poznan bombed empty
* Prague bombed
* Stettin bombed empty
* Copenhagen bombed
* Tirana bombed without succes; the AA-gun destoyed two Lancasters


Now that Poland is free, and now that the southern and Northern front have made contact (Bratislava).....now southern front will move north for Berlin....I ask you, Morten.....where the hell is your defence? Did you move all units into Berlin? I only find Wehrmacht in your cities, and they're no match for my Tu-29 bombers. My T-35/85 have almost nothing to do except for moving into cities....

Answer : on the run from the russians. Seriously, most of my heavy forces, i.e. bombers and armor were in basically two places when you launched the assault : The Netherlands and North Italy. Now... well, you can guess.

The Allies better hurry if they want to seize Berlin before the russians do...

The Allies lament the abject weakness of the German Eastern Front. It was projected that the Germans could at least hold the Russians back for another six months with their Zoo-series tanks. Looks like Herr Hess will not be handing Berlin over to the Allies. Unfortunately the main escourt battlegroups for a landing in West Germany was wrecked earlier by Admiral Donitz. Ground forces are stacked like sardines in Great Britain with no way to deliver them safely to Germany. Looks like a quarter century of tyranny under the soviet block awaits half of Europe.

Allies sank a Kriegsmarine cruiser off the north coast of Belgium this turn - that's all.

A quarter of a century? :lol: Yeah right...more like quarter of a milennium.

Anyway, Russian troops march into Germany and Austria by conquering Stettin and Vienna. Prague is one of the cities which took heavy bombings. Copenhagen was bombed empty.....but most important, the battle of Berlin has started. 5 bomber divisions started bombing the Axis headquarter of evil, destroying 3 units, losing 2 divisions. Soon Berlin will be ours!!
 
For some reason the dammed Irish decided to sneak attack Great Britain - hey we just gave them independence five years ago but seems they are taking advantage of the war situation to claim Northern Ireland (alright WHO paid the AI to attack me?). Our defenses are weak there and an AA gun battery has already been destroyed under the onslaught of several 'neutral' BT-7 divisions. Also, there are two menacing Irish Cruisers in the Irish Channel off Belfast.

Anyway all plans for any operations are put on hold until the idiots can be put down (I had to change a coffebreak two minerals from completion into a tank!) and forces from everywhere are being diverted to the area.

Recon revealed that Copenhagen had no garrison and when the 81st Airborne dropped in, they realeased that the city had endured heavy Soviet bombing - such an inhumane tactic, strategic bombing. Various other naval and air assets have since been moved to Denmark.
 
eeer....could we do last turn over again? I forgot to CTRL N......if not I'll play my week 110....

I added the CTRL N version of week 108
 
Well, I'll be impressed if Kevin is going to take Berlin in just a couple of turns (you should see the arsenal of fascism in there), depends on how many armor he brought, and how many I can destroy each turn counterattacking. But if the allies doesn't have forces to move in from scandinavia or such in a couple of turns, its probably a sure win for the soviets, yes.

Willem, I say you play turn 110, its just one round for you with corrupt AI officials playing dirty tricks on you, so its only a slight handicap in comparison with the axis AI incompetence that has been a reality for the last many weeks. I'm sure you haven't had any losses on that account. ;)

:lol: I guess you're right. Week 110 coming up....
 
Giantic bomberraid on Berlin very succesfull
Almost the entire Soviet Bombercommand was involved in the bombing of the Axis capital of Evil, Berlin. Seventeen bombersquadrons of Lancasters and Tu-29s threw of their payloads at day and night, destroying 5 Panzer IV divisions, 4 75mm cannons, 2 Wirbelwind Panzers, 1 Bf 110 and 1 Paratrooper division. The Soviet loses were limited to one Tu-29 and 3 Lancasters.
The southern front conquered Tirana and Prague. Although the Soviets and Minor Axis don't like each other, Chukov did make the way free for Mussolini to conquer both Dresden and Salzburg, but he refused to enter the cities.
For the near future, the Soviet expect to need a few turns more on bombing Berlin, especially since more 75mm cannons were spotted moving towards the city, Luftwaffe aircraft are moving in on returning Tu-29s, and the production line of new Tu-29s was disturbed. The Allied should be able to take advantage of the massive troop movements; after they break the frontlines the cities will be almost defenceless.
Last Chukov announces the development of a new kind of tank, but will it be needed?
