Ελευθερία ή Θάνατος

haha the Balkans are crazy. *poof* there go the Italians! That's a nice little Greek revival Empire you've got going on there. I agree with GY that it'd be cool to re-create it in its entirety by taking Sicily and the west coast of Turkey. May the gods be with you.

Idk how close I´m from DWing Turks, but the Italians pushed forward to Iraq, so I might be able to help the Brits a bit... But I also want to cut off Soviets of getting the Italian mainland... I´ll see what I can do on Saturday

I just read through this AAR and find it thoroughly entertaining. Surely Alexander's empire was great ... but might there be more to gained from attempting to gain the Italian peninsula? There is industry and manpower to be gained there to fuel any latter push eastwards.

I was surprised that the second vienna event did not happen , but this soviet invasion was quite unexpected

As do I!

Nevertheless, this AAR is quite good, regardless.

...yet come the 1970s when the US hits home 'peak oil' and has to turn to the middle east Greece, for its oil needs, just think of the dracmas rolling in...no need for austerity measures and all that hoodum .

ATTENTION​

I´m heading back home tomorrow, so I might be at home around 2 p.m...

Idk if I start playing right away, but I just wanted to tell you that I´m working again on my AAR, and to expect next chapter soon!

Chapter IX: Year 1943​

It´s been a quite long time since I wrote my last chapter, I almost forgot how the game works! I spent a few weeks looking at the red number of wasted IC, doing like: “Hmm, what does this number mean?” lol.

Here is a nice pocket of mine, note the IC number also lol...

The Soviets are feeling threatened by Greece! They gave me transit rights! (Ok I needed to ask but anyway .)

I´m making my way to Trieste and this will be a stop, since I would be encircled by both Italians and Germans, and they would outnumber my forces quickly... I´m running low on MP, so soon I´ll disband some divisions to make up this number...

Another pocket, this time in Trieste... I´d really wish there would be some real use of captured soldiers, but so far it looks like they just “disappear” from the whole game...

Have a look on the European map; Soviets are fighting also with Finland... In Asia the situation looks grim for Nationalists; the Japanese will form collaboration Nanjing republic in no time...

At this point, I decided to stop at Trieste and rest my troops a bit by new MP from disbanded divisions... Also I got a license on some bombers; Dutch are the best that I can get from Allies... Later on I order also some transports, likely to invade the Apennine Peninsula from the south...

Until the end of the year, Nats were able to reduce Nanjing republic to Nanjing (no kidding) and Brits pushed the Italians, “freeing” or annexing states Transjordan or Syria... So much for this year, it wasn´t really that interesting, but I needed a stop to reinforce my troops and built some wings and transports... I hope you enjoyed this chapter, stay tuned for the next one!

can you make a deal with soviets on making the borders nicer in retourn they allow you to roam freely in turkey?

Phew, I doubt they would agree to this... They got higher threat on Turkey anyway, this could be done only via modding... But yeah, I would like this kind of generic deals, it would make the game look and work better...

Chapter X: Year 1944​

Welcome on the continuation!

Nats have pushed Japs back, almost to their pre-war border, this is some good news for me, but I can´t get an edge, since it´s Asia and not Europe

Another map shows the European situation, Soviets pushed Germans back to their side of Poland...

I´ve decided to launch an invasion of Italy; a great base to invade them from is Malta, closely enough to their mainland and also reduces the odds of being caught by Regia Marina (or what else has left of it)... I´ve 6 TP to ship 2 full corps there, the first on Sicily, the second to Sicily and the first serves as a block for Italians running back to Roma...

The first corps is in position, advancing to the north of Italy...

The second splits Italians to two pockets, Palermo and Syracuse...

Nah, who would expect this? I definitely wouldn’t...

Sicily is almost taken over, the last opposition has dug-in in Palermo, and the second corps is advancing further north...

Sicily is taken over; the whole Greek army on Apennines is advancing to Roma...

My army is pushing the Italians slowly, but steadily...

I´ve never noticed this opportunity to advance from both sides! Unfortunately, there is only a little purpose to push, due to German army, which I´ll find out later... :sad:

It´s a bit later than it historically should be, but never mind! Good job on HPP, I only did know about the battle of Monte Casino (which is close from here)...

How the Europe looks like at the end of the year? The giants are stalling each other, but the main difference is that I´ve taken half of the Italy by myself! I hope my “Allies” will help me in more significant way; at least if they could launch the D-Day...

Another chapter (year) is written, thanks for reading it!

Finally the greater greece (neapoli/sirakuse) is back with greeks! now we must retake greek africa! (kyrenaika, lybia and aleksandria (rest of egypt can be left alone, to many muslims to convert)) aw, and anatolia and foenikia(syria/lebanon) with holy land as optional if you get there before israeli freedom

Those damn developers didn´t give me cores in there... I guess Italy will go to GiE... I also hope to have war with Turks soon, to link my territory to Allied Iraq etc., and the last but not least, I hope to have army big enough to fight the Germans and Hungarians (they DWed me a long time ago)...

Good update....Greece is well on its way to beast status. I scanned past posts but couldn't find a mention of the Greek flag you're using...I don't recognize it...what is it?

You mean the Greek flag on the top? I guess it was added together with HPP...

Or what do you mean? Some laws I´m using?

 

[robw963]

yeah the flag...I'm used to seeing something like this:

I'm just wondering if there is a story behind the version you're using.

I guess it came out together with it... HPP (5 AUG), FTM 3.05...
