You remind me of my title error again. :) But Wrath of Wraith sounds double nice!

I don't consider it so much an error as an involuntarily fitting title. The Wraith of the Khan watches over the newly resurrected Mongol Empire and guides it's moves. So in short: It's cool!
 
The Wraith of Genghis Khan leading the Mongols to victory on the battlefield is the most bad ass image I can imagine.
 
Hax: Gonna update NOW!!! Suppose to be yesterday but was too busy at work!

Sokraates-the-Wise & Austria Hungary: I think I wrote wraith because I was at that time playing Warcraft DotA where the Wraiths are flying creatures. heh, didn't expect it to makes the title sounds better :D Khan's wraith returnsss!!
 
Italy, here we comes!!

Before i start my update...

I WISH TO EVERYONE.... MERRY XMAS!!!
It started 20mins ago on this part of the world. Ahead and beat most of the rest, hah! ;)

=======================================================

Sep 7th, 1947
Strains from the lack of supplies has made an impact on the Wehrmacht forces in Palestine. From about 20-30 original divisions that landed, only about a dozen surviving divisions are left after all the pounding from Mongols and the Allies. Hitler’s large army in Tel Aviv is simply lacking the teeth to bite as their strength has been depleted! At the holy city of Jerusalem, Mongol made its move.

693jerusalem.jpg

Luvsan (2nd Armija): The Germans are weaken for lack of supplies! Let’s retake the holy lands before UK does!

At this point, the Mongol base IC has increase by another 50 breaching the 300 mark for a total IC prowess of 403/308! It was just 336/255 recently back in Aug 1st. Europe is certainly a rich place to plunder!

Sept 9th, 1947
The Mongol army from Paris swept across Southern France towards the Alps to begin the Battle of Italy! The Mongol cavalry spearhead rushing to Grenoble forts were engaged by 4 Italian divisions coming from Nice.

Lt Gen Alaverdov (Keshik 3rd Ogedei Korpus): Enemy attacking from our right flank. Air-strike support requested!

694fortbattles.jpg

Ulanhu (Chief of Airforce): Airstrikes approved, certainly!

Air Gen Smushkevich (CAS 1st Aviatsionnyi Korpus): Fun time begins again!

A swarm of CAS bombers akin to locusts swoop in on the Italian attackers and bombed their organizational levels out of them! Immediately their offensive crumbles. A day later, newly arrived Mongol army make a counter-attack to Nice in a not very nice way!

FM Choybalsan (Chief of Army): I am here! Mussolini, where are your boys! Hiding in the rat-holes? That won’t stop us!

The attackers have became defenders taking cover in the hilly fortification of Nice but that is in vain. Grenoble and Nice are soon on the way to Mongol maps as Khan’s territory.

Sep 11th, 1947
The UK terror at the sea strikes again! This time, they were blasting the Mongol Red Sea fleet in the port of Medina! Four out of seven TP were sunk and Medina naval-base is so damaged and there is nothing to be damaged further!

695medina.jpg

Ganbaatar (Chief of Navy) We still got a looong way to beef up our navy forces!

Lhumbe (Armaments): Yep, exactly. We got to learn how to build ships before actually building ships! And then learn navy tactics, doctrines! Hopefully in 5-8 years time we have some credible answer!

Ulanhu (Chief of Airforce): Even my CAS fleet could not take on their fleet, too many ships! We need to wait for our naval bomber fleet creation!

Sep 15th, 1947
Jerusalem fell. A mixture of Allies and German forces at Eilat are chased out too as Mongol forces in the Middle East begin their long awaited offensive!

696doomed.jpg

Luvsan (2nd Armija): Once we’re in position, Hitler will lose every single man he has in the Middle East!

Tel Aviv shall be a bloody ground soon…

Choybalsan (Chief of Army): I can foresee North Africa falling into our hands!!! We shall soon control both sides of the Mediterranean!

Sept 16th, 1947
Grenoble and Nice are with Mongol as envisioned. Genoa and Turin are engaged next. Mussolini poured more than 50,000 men into the defense of Genoa but to no avail. All were in full retreat the moment they witness more a 100,000 Mongol hordes coming from the West!! A direction they least expected! The Eastern barbarians coming from West??!

697genoapocket.jpg

More bad luck for Mussolini’s army! Out of the blue, 121ya Soviet expeditionary Armor force bursting out of Milan cut off the hapless retreating Italianos from the rear. Genoa becomes a death trap!

FM Choybalsan (Chief of Army): Yummy! Our troops gonna get extra meat toppings on their pizza today! :D

Defense of Northern Italy has fallen, if there was one in the first place. The Road to Rome is now open!!

Mussolini is up roared over his army defeat in Northern Italy. Maybe he should not have vent his anger so loudly lest Army of Khan hears it!

698mussolinimad.jpg
 
Now you've officially beaten Atilla.
 
Hax: oh yes, definitely. the coleseum shall not be left idling once Mongol takes it over!

Enewald: Road to Rome rings a familar tone. Found out it is another game title of the Battlefield Series :)

Delex: Wonder where they will retreat to once they hit the toe end...

FlyingDutchie: The Mongols wants to beat the combination of both Attila and Spartacus :D
 
Down the lady stockings

Sep 16th, 1947
Lhumbe (Armaments): Semi-Modern Mountain Division research done! Next to master is our first naval ship tech! The effort to learn the know-how of the Great War Destroyer is to begin!!

Ganbaatar (Chief of Navy): Yeah!! Finally!! Ships…. With guns!!! :D

Lhumbe (Armaments): The downside is we do not have a highly skilled team for this. Bangkok Dockyard with skill level rating of ‘3’ is selected for this job but at least they have the right background knowledge on all the requirements.

Sep 21st, 1947
German last stand in Tel Aviv. The Allies have closed in from the west, Mongols from the East and South. A sure sign a bloodbath is going to happen!

Gen Luvsan (2nd Armija): Let’s get rid of Hitler’s army presence in the Middle East! Light up the guns!!!

699telaviv.jpg

And hence the 9 partially weaken Wehrmacht divisions are cut down by the hails of bullets and shells. Wehrmacht commander FM Busch, who has Winter specialist trait did not find the hot desert environment useful for his ability.
Taking a cheap shot from the west are the Allies who wants a piece of the action, not with fearless Mongols though but with those already half beaten to the ground.

Lt Gen Mahbarid (13th Korps): General, looks like British wants to claim the victory over the Axis in the middle east.

Gen Luvsan (2nd Armija): They better be careful as they should know better who we’re going for after this! Muahahahaaa!

Sept 22nd, 1947
On this date, the Mongol army has regrouped and recuperate after the attacks over the Alps and the Lombardian plains. It is now the time to pierce the heart of the Roman empire wannabe.

Chimid (Chief of Staff): This is it. The home grounds of Hitler’s most significant ally is before us! Let’s show them how we can walk over them like what we did to mainland Europe!

FM Choybalsan (Chief of Army): Our boys are waiting with glee! Unleash hell!!

FM Lyibangrryan (6th Armija): Right away!!! To Florence!

700florence.jpg

The Northern and Southern Mongol taskforce has converged at Italy bringing a total of 300,000 Mongol warriors to ravage what is left of the dream of the Roman Empire rebirth! Against a demoralized 200,000 defender at Florence, the victory belongs to Mongol! All enemy 18 divisions including German elements were routed.

Sept 23rd, 1947
As the action is unfolding in Italy, US amphibious elements landed in Athens!

701athensfall.jpg

FM Choybalsan (Chief of Army): This is a screw up. How can the new Soviet leadership take back the tank garrison in Athens, moving them off and hence leaving the city defenseless. :mad:

Chimid (Chief of Staff): I’m at loss why the Soviet high command will do it! But it looks like they are less committed than Stalin. But at least they did not pull me back, I’m still at full service to Mongolia!

FM Choybalsan (Chief of Army): Even the garrison at Bursa over looking the Dardanelles are recalled. This is so wrong. Not to mention the garrisons at Kharkov and Kiev that was recently recalled as well.

Ulanhu (Chief of Airforce): Luckily the ten CAS air-wings that we re-deployed to Greek theater to retake the Aegean isles are not based in Athens but in Varna, Bulgaria instead because of lack of the city garrison of the former! Else could have lost them all! :eek:

Sept 25th, 1947
Florence fell to Mongol within three days and the fastest infantry elements of the Mongol army, the engineering corps arrived first repulsing a weak counter attack easily.
Lt Gen Nanejshvili (11th Eng Korps): Let’s take a shot at Rome shall we? ;)

Lt Gen Missan (7th Eng Korps): Sure, why not! I have not visited the city before and I would like to! If I can’t visit as a tourist, I would like to drop by as a conqueror!

702venivedivici.jpg

The sole Italian division were chased out of their defensive positions around Rome. Even in their home, Mussolini’s troop do not think twice about falling back!

Sep 26th, 1947
The ‘false victors’ of the battle of Tel Aviv is still celebrating their victory when they find themselves surrounded by the Mongol hordes!

Gen Luvsan (2nd Armija): We have destroyed the last of Hitler’s army Middle East! We should do the same to our other enemy, the Allies! Those imperialist army shall fall to the might of the Mongols!

703gaza.jpg

And with that, the self-proclaimed victors party in Gaza is broken up and the Brits like the German met their end in Middle East as well. Total six British and her allies divisions were destroyed, three in Gaza and three by CAS when they are fleeing from frontlines leaving the Sinai and Suez totally undefended.

Lt Gen Mahbarid (13th Korps): A fitting end to those who dare to claim Mongol’s victory. The Brits had paid with their lives! The Middle east is now free from the scourge of both Axis and Allies!

Sep 28th, 1947
The US Army consisting of three divisions broke out of Athens and is running wild in Greece. The 14th Korps is ferried over from Turkish port of Izmir to Greek shores of Salonika and landed safely. Just as the 9 transport ships are returning back to Black Sea port, the fleet bump into a US carrier armada. Fortunately, the loss is just one ship, and the rest managed to escape to the Black Sea.

704aegean.jpg

Lt Gen Demchegdongrov (14th Korps): Greek are sacred Mongol lands! What you Americans are doing here?! Out! OUT!!

With the 14th Korps on the ground and a monstrous CAS fleet, the American will be sorry for landing! The advance motorized and mechanized units of the American army in not impervious to Mongol’s attack!

Sept 29th, 1947
A miniscule setback. Ten retreating divisions from Florence reached Rome, ten hours before 11th Eng Korps secure the city.

Lt Gen Nanejshvili (11th Eng Korps): Ohhh, the Italians are darn good… at retreating fast! They fall back to Rome faster than we can reach it.

FM Choybalsan (Chief of Army): Break up your attack! If we push them, they gonna fall back further south, let us surround Rome first before we assault Rome again.

And hence for strategic reason, Rome is spared for another day. That time, there will be no avenue for running away for the Italians!

Sept 30th, 1947
With no apparent Allies and Axis presence in the middle east, it is time to ‘take care’ a potentially hostile state in the midst of the Great Khan Empire.

705syriamap.jpg

Luvsansara (Head of Gov): I don’t like the Syrians. Just look at our relations score with them! It is like we’re at war!

Amar (Head of State): I will feel uncomfortable moving our armies into North Africa when the potential problem is not eliminated yet. General Chimid….

Chimid (Head of Staff): That is clear enough for me. General Luvsan’s army is there and can pounce on them! Just severe the seat of government at Damascus and the state can be annexed quickly!

And hence, war is declared on the unsuspecting Syrians!

706declaresyria.jpg

Henri Dentz (Syrian Head of Gov): Hey, we bear no danger to the Mongols! :confused: We will not interfere! There is no reason for this hostilities!

Luvsansara (Head of Gov): I shall not be fooled by your Isolationism bar! You’re not isolate from us, your nation is sitting within our midst! All your borders are bordering us! Isolationism is just a state of mind! And mind can change!

Henri Dentz (Syrian Head of Gov): But that is not good enough reason to whip out your guns now! You have no proof of our belligerence!

Luvsansara (Head of Gov): Hah! Look at your Hawkishness bar! Maxed out! You’re a potential stab-in-the-back type! Morever, you dislike us!!! Your relation score of -198 says it all! Explain…!

Henri Dentz (Syrian Head of Gov): Err… :eek:o we should be judge by our actions not a snapshot of the domestic bars….

Amar (Head of State): Enough talk! To WAR!!! :D

With the 6th Army and 13th Korps in position in Amman, attack of the Syria capital, Damascus begins in earnest!

707damascus.jpg

Gen Luvsan (2nd Armija): Let’s wrap this up in a less than 2 weeks shall we?

Oct 1st, 1947
A Soviet expeditionary tank corps that was holding Perugia at central Italy is suddenly under fire from all sides! Total of 15 Italian divisions took on the Mongol led Soviet armor.

708perugia.jpg

FM Choybalsan (Chief of Army): What??! The Italians are attacking all-out! They stopped retreating finally. Now we should have some fun!! We’re not going to ‘move’ to Perugia to our embattled friends, but we’re gonna ‘support defence’ them! It makes a difference!

With Khan given power to use the motivating “support defense command”, the bulk of Mongol troops in Florence suddenly felt a zeal of warrior instinct growing inside them and they all raced to Perugia…. at half the usual time!

Two days later, the lead elements of the Mongol army reached the battleground and Mussolini last ditch attempt to throw back the Mongols falters. The Italians lost all appetite for a fight when they realize it is Mongols, not Soviet they are fighting! The Road to Rome is indeed nearing the end…
 
Seems the Mongols have a nice cultural trip through Italy :D. Annexing the Italians gives you some decent shipbuilding techs BTW.
 
So the eternal city shall be eternally Mongol soon. How fitting. :D

I also approve your precautionary step against Syria. One never know what the potentially maybe might do in the future. Just imagine: in a few hundred years they might have laser weapons! :eek:

Furthermore I'm convinced that Aleppo has one of the best beaches of the Black Sea and we don't want to have those denied to Mongols, do we? ;)
 
Enewald: Actually Mongol intends to konquer all so need to treat all nations (and ally *ahem*) as potential enemy! :D

Amallric: Stalled?! Nah, just a matter of time. Unlike the Germans, Italians are all at HOME during war!! Each province is like packed like sardines in a can with 5 or more divisions! I need to ensure they are killed off and not escaped to Sicily isle. Ural Front is idling hence I didn't take any snapshot. There is little German gain after one year, just inched one province deep into Soviet. They need MOngol to break up the stalemate! With German beginning to see lack of supplies, I do not expect Hitler to be able to push further. Hopefully Soviet did not push German back instead! I wanna claim Moscow for Khan!!

Hax: Iberia peninsula update in the next2 update :) NOw you're certainly ahead of my AAR pace :D

Delex: The expeditionary forces sometime irritate. It cost Mongol a whole load of TC like for a month or so to strat deploy these freebies into the required garrison position and Soviet just takes them back randomly. Dang! Looks like Soviet is helping to create the justification of being the receiving end of Khan's wrath! hehe....

FlyingDutchie: Oh yeah, I personally like Italy when I was there and I'm sure Mongols too! Looks like Italian techteams could be a nice addition to Mongol slavery. MONGOL DO NEED GOOD SHIP BUILDING AND NAVAL DOCTRINE TECHTEAMS!! Else things won't be done by 1964, lol!! Welcome to enslavement soon!!

Sokraates-the-wise: I got a similar issue with Swiss but I have no time to deal with them now as got to focus on Mussolini and then Hitler. A foreign nation nested plucked in the middle of Khan's Europe! So out of place! But it could mean Swiss is caged like a pet in Mongol's home! haha! Mediterranean shall be Mongol's soon just like Black Sea so Aleppo can be at either place :)
