Chapter 10: Operation Green
1 July 1940 - 1 January 1941
On the 12th of July, Germany commenced the invasion of Switzerland.
I give it a week...
The battles for control over the Swiss mountains were very bloody, but Germany prevailed.
Within 10 days, Switzerland became a part of the German Reich.
Italy was having a successful offensive in North Africa.
Troops were stacking up on the German-Soviet border. War seemed unavoidable, but no one dared make a move so close to the winter.
Chickens!!
The Syrians joined the Axis and (thanks to German support) rapidly annexed the British puppet of Iraq.
"There shall never be war in Iraq and Syria ... never, ever, again!!!" - yeah, right...
Yearly status Report - 5 year edition
1 January 1941
- Japan is stuck
- The Brits and Italians are fighting it out in North Africa
- The Middle East is under axis control
- German troops are preparing for the invasion of the Soviet Union
- The German armed forces are increasing in numbers
Germany is close to occupying 1/4 of the Worlds important areas. The only significant threat at the moment is the Soviet Union.
- In the last 5 years, the greatest 6 army powers have expanded greatly.
- The Soviet Union still greatly outnumbers any other nation
- This could prove problematic in the war to come
- China still leads with the most dead men (close to 1.3 million).
- Japan follows closely.
- The UK has clearly lost the most airplanes (around 5100)
- Even though highly successful, it has still taken it's toll on the Luftwaffe (over 2600 lost airplanes).
- Thanks to our mechanized warfare, we have lost the most trucks and tanks (over 2500)
- This should rapidly change considering the incredible amount of tanks that the Soviet Union has.
- Though small in numbers (doesn't even show in the top 6), the Kriegsmarine has proven the most deadly.
- The Axis fleet have been successful in destroying enemy fleets.
- Still the Allied fleets keep growing in numbers.
____________________________________________________________________Hey guys,
Thought it would be cool to have this "after 5 years" thing, greatly inspired by the 10 years later chapter on the previous AAR.
I used the nofog command on January 1st and took some screenshots of the stats screen in order to make those last 3 pictures. Hope that is OK . I'll do it again in '46 (if we make it that far...) for 10 years.
Anyway, I think the game will get a bit more crazy in the chapters to come. Hope that can make up for the fact of less frequency of chapters.
Peace!
