ZWK - Relived!

[The Overlord]

Il Duce Mussolini understands and supports the quest of his loyal friend and ally Field Marshal Eivind. Italy has the same problems as Germany. Our land was ripped apart and many Italians were forced to live under the oppressive rule of foreign countries. Therefore we also start a crusade to reclaim land which is rightfully ours and bring back all Italians under one rule. We also would like to address to the Allies that we have no intend to attack any of your countries and we hope we can settle this matter peacefully as cvilized men as we are. Should you reject this last chance for peace you will go down in history as warmonger and we will mobilize all our forces to bring peace back to the world. Always remember:
Victory for the Axis=Peace and prosperity for the world
My god help us in our holy quest.
Benito Mussolini
Glorious Leader of a new and shining Italy

Soviet turn, too lazy for dramatics

 

[Eivind IV]

Poland without a chance
The German Wehrmach was pushing deeper and deeper into Poland. Katowice and the main capitol Warsaw fell during the German advance.

Since Soviet has not responded to whether it want to liberate "their" part of Poland, Führer Eivind count the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact to protect both Germany and Russia. There will be no agression against Russia from Germany. Not while Eivind is in power.

The Magionot line fell
Germany unleashed hell upon the citizens of Switzerland, only to bypass the French Maginot line. But just as Germany captured Zürich, the Magionot line fell. The door to France is wide open.

Belgium is now German
The main capitol of Belgium was easilly taken by the German invaders. Brüssel is now German

Oh sorry, I missed that part of your post before. I will take Lwow and Vilna, the latter of which I have already emptied and will occupy next turn.

 

[Ohwell]

Spitfire patrols show no German submarines off of the US. I wonder where they went?

Royal Navy commisions 2 more battleships into service.

 

[The Overlord]

Hmm Bella Italia.

 

[Darius]

- Tallinn and Vilna fall to tank attacks and our I-16 fighters, altered in the defense ministry's files from "air defense fighter" to "guided missile".

- War declared on Turkey for no particular reason.

Ohwell, where my techs at?

 

[Ohwell]

I noticed your PM after I posted my turn.

 

[Darius]

Ok, not like I'm at war or anything, 'cept Turkey.

 

[Ohwell]

Turkey so soon? That is another bold move. You barely have enough forces to defend yourself against the Axis this early.

 

[Darius]

From SP I know Turkey only takes a capital ship and a militia in a transport. Ankara and Sivas of course would need tanks, but not many. And if they beat my tanks then I can just leave them AI and make peace.

 

[Eivind IV]

France taken by surprise
Paris falls and the German blitzkrieg tactics was a success. Lyons, Reims and Dunkirk was taken as well.

Balkans war
Zagreb was easilly captured by the German Wehrmacht. The expansion is going on.

Diplomatic issue
Some of the German generals had to scratch their heads when they saw that there actually was a state of war between the German Reich and the Soviet Union. With Comrade Stalins aprooval, Führer Eivind would like to sign a long lasting peace treaty.

Military aid to the Italian Empire
A massive amount of military technology was given to the head of the Italian Empire, Benito Mousolini. Now the Italians can join Germany in the quest for justice and freedom around the world.

 

[Darius]

Yeah that diplomatic screen confused me too. Consider us at peace indeterminately; we're too damn drunk over here for a war. Plus we're a bit busy in our war with Turkey and Japan. Marching on Sendai in the next turn...

 

[Ohwell]

Hmm... Japan...

A combined effort of the RAF, BEF and Royal Navy have cooperated in an attempt to liberate Paris. Two Panzer divisions were destroyed, and 2 bombers outside of Paris. One of them was hiding an unknown unit. 1 Spitfire was lost however due to a massive thunderstorm. Victory was declared when British M3s entered the city limits.

A German U-Boad spotted off of Boston was destroyed, however 2 entire spitfire divisions were destroyed by the ships AA gun. A third was needed to destroy it, but it ran out of fuel and crashed helplessly into the sea. Man these spitfires SUCK!

In africa, Wellingtons have destroyed an Italian panzer division east of Tobruk.

 

[Ohwell]

Damn! I forgot the techs again Darius I'll give you War Adjustment as well because of the delay...

 

[Eivind IV]

Here is a overview of the situation as for now...

 

[The Overlord]

Benito Mussolini is very delighted about the military aid from Germany and he invites the brilliant Feldmarschall Eivind together with his staff to Rome where a celebration will be held to honour their skills in conquering Paris. The Allies recaptured it but we have no doubt that in the end the rightful crusade of the Axis will give us the edge to win this war.

 

[Ohwell]

Actually, Eivind, I have Paris. Not you

 

[Darius]

There goes Lwow...

Well, not anymore. Paris was easilly recaptured

The same goes for Krakow and Lublin in Poland, and Dijon in France.

Strasbourg was also razed, and the city does not exist anymore, but the area is under German control.
