ZWK PBEM Game

[kobayashi]

Allied Intelligence was completely caught off foot by the sudden shift of Norway over to the side of the Axis. A spokesman from the House of Lords had this to say. "Must have been a damned Quisling, the Royal family of Norway is related to the House of Windsor you know. Well, we're about to sign the Atlantic Charter so the Yanks are finally going to give us the helping hand we need. Things aren't that bad."

On an unrelated matter, His majesty's government has offered the building process of the BT-7 fast tank to anyone who wanted it - to deter aggression from the Nazis and Communists. Unknown to most, ALL soviet tanks are shamelessly based on either British Vickers designs or the American Christie's tank series. Several Independent countries jumped at the offer and are consequently building them under patent now.

Where we stand now

 

[Alcibiaties of Athenae]

Nothing much going on.

Merchant cargo sunk by german fighter squadron near Dover. Allied capital ship survives attack.

Never thought I'd see the day when the Germans stoop so low as to use the I-16 fighter. Running out of Me109s or saving them for the Eastern Front. Anyway remember, the English Channel is a no-fly zone. Any aircraft (or ship) in the Channel or North Sea will be shot down or sunk. Was there any damaged to my capital ship? Maybe its health was reduced from 30 to 29?

I remember my master plan now.

Free exchange of technology nets CCCP new gains!

Dealing with our friends Mussolini and Franco, we have obtained the plans for the allied Wellington medium bomber, as well as better engines and new Banking tecniques, and given little, mainly the outdated Stuka design!

Truly, our prowess in military equipment is awesome!

* Marseilles and Kristiansand falls to german forces
* U-boat war intensifies : 2 allied capital ships sunk in the channel

Congrats to Admiral Donutz and his U-boats. I should have been less lazy and patrolled the surrounding area regularly. Well I've sent the entire attack force down to Davy Jones, four units, but couldn't tell what they were other than the Me110 on top.

 

[Morten Blaabjerg]

For the record, it was a sub with a couple of missiles left.

 

[kobayashi]

And who was complaining that his U-boats were slow and useless? Was that 4 or 5 Capital ships I've lost to U-boats already?

The trick is that the torpedo supply is endless and don't require any support. And if you managed to get to the west coast of France, they'd appear in Brest instead of Kiel.

Might want to think again about ignoring the submarine techs. Tanks are good but they ain't going to help you cross the channel. Your U-boats would get cheaper and faster. Plus there'd be an extra wonder thrown in to make all your ships veteran.

 

[Morten Blaabjerg]

I admit I have had some luck positioning them. I think that last one counted the score a bit in my favour. But I still can't get anywhere near Paris without risking massive losses. You really took me by surprise with that stunt, it has been very effective.

But perhaps I won't need to get to Paris..

 

[Alcibiaties of Athenae]

Nothing much to report.

 

[Morten Blaabjerg]

And another allied transport goes to the bottom of the channel...

In the city of brotherly love, Mr Rockwell has published his new art piece featuring a woman with buldging muscles. It is immediately adopted as a symbol for women to work inplace of men once the words 'We can do it' are slapped on top of it. Productivity throughout the Allied sphere of influence increases dramatically and we are churning out war machinery like hot cakes. Let the forces of Darkness beware!

 

[Alcibiaties of Athenae]

Nothing much to report.

 

[Morten Blaabjerg]

Comrade Alcib, our peace agreement is about to expire... Do you wish to extend it?

[edit : obsolete save deleted]

 

[kobayashi]

Some how I doubt that Comrade Alcib is prepared to continue twidling his thumbs for another twenty turns and keep typing 'Nothing much to report' when his turn comes.

 

[kobayashi]

Our Allies the French have forced us to declare war on the Minor Axis. What choice do we have? So the 8th Army is on its way to Misratah.

(He he, seems everytime the stupid senate makes peace behind my back, I only need to contact the Minor Allies to continue attacking the Italians. Should have discovered this earlier, I'd have landed in Italy by now.)

 

[Alcibiaties of Athenae]

DailyBullsh1tin, I V Fullocrapski reporting:

Comrade Stalin, that loveable leader that he is, is glad to extend the treaty another 10 turns (20 weeks)!

We are peace loving!

Ha Ha, Kob, you aern't siccing the Germans on me, do your own dirty work!

You try fighting Panzer IIIs with BT-7s

 

[Alcibiaties of Athenae]

And the save...
