POCKETS on the Lady stockings.

Delex: If I do that, the number of units I control will quadruple and the game will be a total walkover :eek:
Khan will try to manage without military control.;) OK, mid-week AAR update on Italy campaign!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oct 5th, 1947
The Syrians are proving to be a bigger troublemaker than initially thought!

709syriaproblem.jpg

Gen Luvsan (2nd Armija): The Syrians have taken our oilfields in Mosul! They breached into un-defended Iraqi lands!

Ulanhu (Chief of Airforce): Bigger trouble ahead! There are still Alllies presence here! Six fully strength American divisions are rooted in former Lebanon territory that we annexed before!

Gen Choybalsan (Chief of Army): Looks like we need to mobilize our garrison in Basra and Abadan in defence of Baghdad and retake Mosul.

With Mosul that has a VP fallen to Syrians, the quick strategy to decapitate Damascus is no longer enough! And to make matter worst, two more Syrian divisions are heading north into Turk-lands where more VPs are at risk!!

Oct 6th, 1947
In setting an example of leading from the forefront FM Choybalsan himself lead a speedy HQ unit division to Anzio to complete the encirclement of Rome!

FM Choybalsan (Chief of Army): Nothing moves faster over land than the Mongols! Rome is cut off from the rest of Italy! Act now, I can’t hold them off forever alone!

710romepocket.jpg


FM Lyibangrryan (6th Armija): Warriors of Khan! The moment is here for us to take! The Roman Empire of the West has been an ancient rival to Khan’s Empire of the East. Now we shall take their glorious power center once and for all! Our ancestors will cherish the fall of their greatest rival. We shall help finish it off for them! For Khan!!!

With the spirit of vengeance, the half broken defenders of Rome stood no chance. Battle for Rome was over in less than half day!

Before the dust from the battle of Rome settles, in the very same afternoon, 11th Eng Korps completes a daring rush to the Adriatic Coast of Pescara from central Italy, cutting off 17 Italian divisions in Rimini!! SEVENTEEN!

711twopockets.jpg

Chimid (Chief of Staff): All forces support the east flank offensive immediately!!!

FM Choybalsan (Chief of Army): All out attack to the Rimini pocket!! The 11th Korps can’t hold!

FM Lyibangrryan (6th Armija): I call each and every men to rise to the occasion today! From Rome we need to turns our guns eastward to deal a mighty blow to the fascist!

The artillery pieces trained on Rome in the morning were turned 180 degrees and rushed to the hilltops in the central highlands by afternoon to blast Italian targets in Rimini who is trying to break the cordon south.
And with these flexible offensive traits of the hordes, Mongols army bears down the strength of 28 divisions upon the 17 hapless pocketed Italian divisions. By nightfall, all the trapped Italians are subdued entirely!

Chimid (Chief of Staff): You guys are brilliant. In a span of twelve hours, the Mongol army has destroyed 27 Italian divisions or what was left of it!!! You just wiped off an irreplaceable formation of 300,000 Mussolini troops! 300,000!!

FM Choybalsan (Chief of Army): Brilliant, FM Lyibangrryan!! Two mega back to back battles in a single day of fighting! And Mussolini lost practically all!

Oct 7th, 1947
The worst is not over for Mr Mussolini. Barely had he recovered from the shock of losing more than a quarter million men in the battle, Rome fell on the next day to the mounted hordes of the 1st Mongol cavalry.

712romefall.jpg

Lt Gen Mindro (Keshik 1st Genghis Korpus): Riders of Khan! Kill all signs of resistance…. or for the heck of it, all at sight!

Soon, some of the 20th century Roman fascist government buildings of the city joins the same fate as the its 2,000 year old counterparts… as ruins.

Luvsansara (Head of Gov): The whole world hears it loud and clear!! Rome has fallen to Mongols! Our ancient powers are unrivalled! It continues to shines till today!

The Italians administration is cobbled together in Naples for a makeshift government. Things just doesn’t look bright for them.

Good news comes in droves. On the same day, Greece are freed totally from the Americans with the liberation of Athens. American jeeps and mechanized armor strewn the Greek landscape.

Lt Gen Demchegdongrov (14th Korps): 30,000 American dead at Mongol’s Greece! Do not trifle with us!
 
27 Italian divisions :eek:. This is mad... err, a very stale joke.
I am about to face the allies with less divisions...
 
NOOOOOO! That picture shows the mongols as BEING civilized people!
 
FlyingDutchie: Not sure why the AI park all their divisions on homegrounds! No Italians were outside Italy! Gotta complete it once you said it. This is madness!!!

Amallric: Will be demonstrating more "pockets" soon. Mussolini will be desperate to the point of suicidal after that! :)

Enewald: Already taken Allies, will need to claim it for Khan!

gianlucad: But Mongol IS civilised! Marco Polo will not have his fabulous tales of his travel if not for Khan! Khan kept order & security across Eurasia (err.. after he conquered them) from Black Sea to Pacific allowing safe trade which creates the famous Silk Road route for merchants, connect the east and west, appoint people to position based on merit, religion tolerance, adopt local cultures learning from them art and science (especially if it aids battle), send emissaries first to seek possibilties to avoid war.... all the good stuff. Genghis Khan is the MAN of the millenium! But he do not reserved his civilised behaviour to his enemies, hehe! :)

Hax: It is about the same after the fall of Rome, only goverment buildings representing the fascist regime is ruined. Khan is nice :D
 
What happened with the old good fashioned plunders?
:D

This is a case of overplundering of Europe. Their horses could only carry so much loot :D
 
Rome has fallen? Romulus and Remus are turning in there graves (Wherever those are?)!

Crilly
 
More pockets found on this lady stockings!

Crilly: Romulus and Remus pales incomparison to the greatness of Genghis so it is of larger interest of knowing the latters grave :)

Hax: Mongols would have done better job than the Vandals I think. :p

The weekend AAR update is here!!

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

Oct 15th, 1947
Lhumbe (Armaments): Basic Synthetic Oil Plant discovered! An improved plant next! We’re one step closer to a revolutionary new raw material of war!

Luvsansara (Head of Gov): How does this actually benefits. I can see improvement in efficiency of synthetic oil production from our coal plants but we have lots of oil and obscene amounts of energy stockpiles!

Lhumbe (Armaments): Once we reach the pinnacle of material science, you shall see! We shall be able to generate more oil than before and improve our industrial output with this exotic new material… something call plastic!

Luvsansara (Head of Gov): Plastic better help else plaster gonna paste your mouth!

Oct 21st, 1947
The 7th and 11th Engineering Korps continued their rapid blitz down the “stockings” to the toe-head end! In the process, two new pockets of trapped Italian divisions (at the shin and heels) were created!

714reachtoes.jpg

Lt Gen Nanejshvili (11th Eng Korps): We’re deep into the smelly stockings, in the toe tips! Hey, it aren't smelly!

Lt Gen Missan (7th Eng Korps): It’s a ladies stockings, not yours! Haha! Watch out ahead, Italian reinforcements from Sicily trying to boot us out! I’m sure they envy our position with the ladies legs!

Nine divisions out of Palermo, Sicily tried to repel the stockings stealers but to no avail as Mongol held their ground… I mean stockings.

Oct 22nd, 1947
Lhumbe (Armaments): Oh my Khan! We have finally completed research into Practical Turbojet Engine and can begin doing real world jet technology application! What started of as our rocket research facility in Golmund finally pays off! We can build Jet Planes!! Our Interceptor and Calvary Air-Strikes Groups will be reaching new levels of invincibility!! :D

Ulanhu (Chief of Aiforce): Holy-Khan!! A day we have been waiting for, for years!! It has finally dawned upon us! Both sides of the horizon shall be in total control of the Mongols!!

Lhumbe (Armaments): With a bigger role of the CAS fleet now, we shall learn first jet propelled-CAS! Yippee!

Back in Italy, it is time for slaughtering of the pockets!

FM Choybalsan (Chief of Army): Let’s not waste the opportunity our brilliant Engineering Korps have created! It is time to pocket our gains!!! ;)

715twopockets.jpg

Emulating FM Lyibangrryan move of mass slaughter within the same day, FM Choybalsan attacks the 1st “shin” pocket of Naples in the morning destroying 6 divisions. With 5 more retreating Italian divisions joining the doomed pocket, they are to be pocketed in the next few days. Then turning to the 2nd “heel” pocket of Taranto to the east in the afternoon, 2 divisions were wiped off.

Total of 13 divisions were finished or soon to be finished on Oct 22nd!

FM Lyibangrryan (6th Armija): My 27-division kills are still the coolest, hehe!!

FM Choybalsan (Chief of Army): I gonna strip you naked of your position if you say that again! Hmm!!

Chimid (Chief of Staff): Still a brilliant job, Choybalsan! There is no Mussolini clowns left to speak of. You guys clean them up!

Nyambuu (Intel): The head clown has cross over to Sicily, sirs.

FM Choybalsan (Chief of Army): And we shall pursue!

Naples fell on Oct 23rd and the five retreating divisions from Anzio are finished off. The Italians move their capital to Palermo, Sicily Island… Mussolini’s last stand!

His loss of 40 divisions from four pockets alone are irrecoverable! Romans shall called it the Black October massacre of 1947!

Nov 2nd,1947
In the middle east, the initial six American divisions who landed in Lebanon has been grinded down to four.

Gen Luvsan (2nd Armija): Four divisions are still intolerable, I want zero. A clean zero!

717tripolius.jpg

With that, the last American and Allies stand in middle east is extinguished in the assault in Tripoli! American armor and trucks fell in the face of warriors of Khan!

717asherman.jpg

Chimid (Chief of Staff): Good job, General in responding to the US landings! We do not want to be taken by surprise from the rear!

Gen Luvsan (2nd Armija): Cleaned out just like my hungry soldiers licking their ration bowls clean! Need to continue with the Syrians who have cross over to Turk lands!

FM Choybalsan (Chief of Army): That theater is in your hands. Once you finish the Syrians, go for the control of Suez canal. That is one way we can exert some influence over the naval situation.

The Mongols, 25-division strong is posed to storm the Sicily isle to finish off Mussolini’s fascist regime once and for all!
But there is one thing that stands in the way! Italian’s battle-ship group that regularly patrols the narrow straits that separate Sicily from the mainland Italy.
The surface fleet keep breaking up Mongol attempt to breach the straits but Mongols shall keep on trying. The CAS fleet of about a dozen air-wing strong is used to soften the enemy in Palermo and in search and destroy mission of the last main Italian Navy Fleet. Mussolini’s future hangs by a thread, a thin thread!
718laststand.jpg
 
Last stand on Sicily. Please write on the battle of Corleone in the next update :D.
 
Enewald: But AI doesn't learn :)

FlyingDutchie: ohhh, didn't expect Mafia to get involve. The hordes will deal with them promptly!

Hax: More updates soon on other fronts. There will be a global overview for 1947 wrap up.

Gen.Armando: Is that a Kaiserreich character? Whoever believe in the vision of Khan is IN! :D

Zzzzz...: Oopps, sorry :p
