Battle of Bastogne
July 11th 1940
On July 9th at 2034 50000 Belgian troops were completly encircled in and around the city of Baastogne. The 5 belgian divisions oppposed 18 German divisions who had surrounded the city. In the Morning Stukas began pounding the city and its defenders, The Bombardment went on until 0800 on July 11th. An hour later over 150,000 German soldiers attacked Bastogne. The city had been cut off for 2 days and the Belgians were starting to run out of supplies.
Most of the Belgian forces were deployed in a permimeter arond the city very reminicent of the Great war in terms of the Defensive trenches. But the Belgians had not had the time to build adequete Trenches and even if they had The German Panzer armies quickly punched through the Belgian defensive line. The Belgians had no portable anti-tank weapons and their few tanks were completly obsolete to the German Panzers. In an Hour all but 2 tanks that had not been destroyed by the Stukas were destroyed by the German Panzers.
Extremly quickly the Belgian forces not encircled fell back toward Bastogne, but only one divison was in any fighting shape the other 4 divisions now had the fighting ability and man power of a single understrenghed Division. The disorginized mob could have been reformed into an effective fighting unit in a few days but in a matter of minutes the entire German attack forces swarmed the defenders and destoyed them.
All 50,000 men were killed or captured and now only Brussels remained in Belgian hands but 6 divisions stil sat in Zaire. The KAiser pondred "what to do with Zaire"

yeah this aar rocks the casbah. i especially like how it's like every other german one
no need to be sarcastic, but this is the second german AAR i'v read so i'm not the best judge
no one backed up Belgium with a DOW? if not, then you must have some decent forces...Pacer said:
does Zaire have any victory points? how many divisions in Brussels?
excellent update!

Fall of Brussels
July 25, 1940
Sorry for the lack of an update I’ve been dealing with some personal crap in my life lately and I just got Call of duty 2 big red one so yeah.
Brussels had been surrounded by the German army for weeks now it was not truly cut off as it was the only place left in European Belgium. Many Belgian people had hoped that the Belgian government in the Congo would come to their rescue. This was a lost hope as the krigesmarine was stationed off the coast. When The German army moved into Brussels most of the defenders fought long enough to keep their pride but after they ran out of ammo which was usually just one or two clips roughly 5 or10 shots, but Brussels itself was mostly ruble now but unfortunately it allowed snipers and holdouts the perfect cover.
Günter Drunker was walking down a street when the man standing next to him was thrown backwards he hit the ground with a hole above his right eye.
“Sniper” Günter screamed as he and the 5 remaining men with him sprinted and jumped for the cover that they first saw. One soldier wasn’t quick enough as he took a bullet in the neck and fell back gurgling and thrashing around. After a minute a stopped moving all together and a thick pool of blood began growing around him. Günter figured that the sniper was probably in the Steeple of the church down the road seeing how that was the only good sniping position around. Günter was a pretty good hot but neither his mp40 nor his Lugar had any chance of hitting the sniper, luckily the soldier who had been shot had a kg98 rifle with a scope. Günter grabbed it and peered through the scope.
Günter looking for the Belgian sniper
After a second Günter saw the Belgian soldier, he was aiming at the area where the 3 other men in his squad were taking cover. Günter drew a bead on his head and pulled the trigger. He felt the recoil and could see the Belgian soldier roll over. Günter smiled, but right then two squads of Belgian soldiers chose that moment to rush his squad’s position. Günter dropped the Kg98 and picked up his mp40. “Feuer frei” Günter screamed, his squad really didn’t need the order as most had already started firing at the charging Belgians. The Belgians were trying a bayonet charge and were no match for the wave of bullets from his squad or the shrapnel from German grenades. After a few seconds not one of the 20 or so men who had charged was still alive a few had been blown apart by the potato masher that someone had tossed. It was a good bet the Belgians had thought his squad smaller or else they wouldn’t have tried to charge them; they probably were trying to overwhelm them and take their weapons. The Belgians were running out of supplies and had tried that tactic several times.
At 0200 the next morning the last 100 or so Belgian holdouts commanded by a no name major were wiped out by a full assault by a pair of regiments. A treaty was then proposed to the Belgian government but they refused it. It seemed that the war would go on.

Yes im in fog of war. but they have 6 divisions in Zaire all in BAnnana and i dont have the transports to assault them. Update soon
Well, I just wanted to say that I havent bought HoI2 yet. I was considering it, but after reading Pacer's AAR, I'm sure. I have read many AAR, this is the best so far, its more like a story....
Pacer: Great Job! But watch out for Belgium's diplomatic ties with the UK.
I wouldnt want the Riech to experience a repeat of WWI.
Sry for being new to the game...So you don't have to be hitler? I would much rather be the Kaiser.
