A Bulgaria AAR: Царство Българи

[unmerged(85121)]

On 22 May we develop one rocket test site and deploy him in the capital.

On 25.05 the reconstruction of CL 'Sofia' is over and few days later our first Air Carrier 'Nadejda' is built.Good news for the bulgarian naval program.

On 5.06.1944 Bolshevics open the second front:

Our army in Italy has received orders to stop advance through enemy territory.Current situation (24.06):

Same day we uncover a new model of tactical bomber and start the project Deep Vehicle Repair...

...and Axis is leaded by a new great nation:

CCCP hit our internal policies and create a stalinist Romania.Well,in the contract for the romanian surrender we signed with them that Romania is under temporary occupation and we are obliged to reconstruct the country.Now juridical we aren't able to do this.

So,on 1.07 we start indirect war against the soviet sphere of influence.And provoke a big diplomatic scandal between the two countries.We declare on Romania,Hungary and later Chechs.A brave act,but relations with SU drop to -170-180.

28.07.1944-in the end of day we impose to hungarian government an unconditional capitulation.

Next chechs and italians.

 

[Rotten Venetic]

Don't the Commie minors get placed in military alliance with the Soviet Union? A, well, wtf. Their loss, your gain.

 

[Quanto]

I like where this is going

Show those Reds who's in charge!

 

[son of liberty]

Fantastic game play. Will you annex italy and keep the industry and tech teams? Or will you puppet them? Luckily most of the stalinist minors are not allied to the soviets, I don't even think they goi them. Excellent game play.

Il fine del Nuevo Impero Romano

The End of the New Roman Empire

On 1.08 we renew the advance through North Italy.Practically the most important economical centers are captured(Milan and Venice=22 IC) and now bulgarian commanders expect a lingering death by italians.The next phase in starvation of 'esercito italiano' is separation of the country at two parts-little bit in north-west(well defended in all directions provinces) and Rome with the southern part.
In the beginning of August 150 000 bulgarians,croatians,slovenians and of course our old friends from montenegro attack La Spezia.

With good air support Bulgaria manage to win.At dinner time(2.08) one motorized division arrive in La Spezia.

Same time italians start offensive through Milan-unsuccessful.
Five days later on east chechs wisely choose the colaboration and the ending of the stalinist period in their history.

After that bulgarian diplomacy make attempts to normalization of relationships between Tzarstvo Bulgaria and CCCP.

On 10.08 bulgarian government return the old projects for hard industrialization:

On 11.08 italian troops reach La spezia.After 24 hours of battle they lost positions.

13.08 new army for detention of the city:

Barter:

The generals start revision of our doctrine for advance.The usage of aviation now is concentrated entirely to infrastructure and anti-air destruction:

But firstly our ground units have to detain the city in bulgarian hands for more time.
The strenuous strugle in 22.08:

 

[unmerged(85121)]

Well actually the destiny of Italy depend on my indusrtial development-first i have to liberate Otto,Rom,Hun and to think for my borders with Bolshevics,so...
it's sure that i'll grab one or two tech teams(Arturro Crocco is one of them).
About stalinist minors- in fact i tought that they were all Com. members,but strange only germany is in,even Poland isnt...

 

[germanpeon]

About stalinist minors- in fact i tought that they were all Com. members,but strange only germany is in,even Poland isnt...

I think its because the Stalinist minors were released by the USSR as independant countries but under the strict control of communist friends of the USSR in real life. Germany is under direct control because it was on the front line and was a hated enemy of the Russians so it needed to be closely watched.

Remember, there was no Warsaw Pact until 1955.

 

[stnylan]

With their industrial north taken the Italians should start to fall apart.

 

[son of liberty]

With their industrial north taken the Italians should start to fall apart.

Agreed, it should only take a good push.

Part II

Surprisingly in Spezia 'gli italiani' send more than 65 000 troops,we launch all of our forces and push back the defenders.

On 26.08 Bulgarski Dyrjavni Zheleznitzi(BDJ) develop Deep Vehicle Repair Organization.Then we start a new very important doctrine-Night Strafing:

26 August is a turning point in the war against italian fascism.After the crucial victory in the province of Spezia Prince(in bulgarian Knyaz)Kyril order a offensive through Rimini with hope that there italians dont have many troops.But united forces of the south slavic countries meet about a 100 000 well organized italian soldiers

A great mistake,immadiately our air forces receive orders to bomb the enemy.
On 27.08 Italy return the possession of La Spezia

The connection between the North and the South is restored.Good advance by Italy...but transitory: at 7:00 same day they are defeated in Rimini-bulgarians are lucky enough to win this battle (with these bad organized armies).A few hours later the attack from Milan succeed too(the proportion-8:1 divisions) so the frontline is temporarily changed in our benefit.

Next day Bulgaria reach the fifth tech slot:

On 29.08 the victorious armies who arrived in Rimini after one day of organization and repose start attack of the single garrison division in Florence:

Yes,a walk over,but retreating troops from Spezia reach firstly(80 000 soldiers)the province.Now with support of our reinforcments we keep the previous victory.However a big chance for capturing of massive enemy forces is losted.
Current situation on 1.09(6 years after the first shoot in Europe and only few minutes after the first arriving in Florence.Well,again mostly of fascist armies are under threat of catching )

Instantly the italians begin a desperate counter-offensive from Rome.

After two days Il Duce understand that one infantry division conquer the undefended province of Perugia:

This mean-Enemy at the Gates!

 

[unmerged(85121)]

Well,another interesting fact-half of the italian provinces are named in Italian like Rimini,La Spezia,Bologna,Anzio,Palermo etc. and others in English-Rome,Venice,Milan...
I saw this yesterday-after almost two years

I think the Italian sounding ones are that way because we don't really have Anglicized names for them. Bologna is Bologna for us too, as well as for the Italians. At least, I've never seen any maps that call it "Baloney"

 

[stnylan]

Yes, the Italians look to be well and truly on the run.

Part III

Next days italians manage a weak offensive,beat an elite croatian divison and save the way for retreat by basic part of the army.Current situation on 5.09:

On 6.09 6-ta Armija by Mj.General Radojnov reach Anzio and this is the beginning of the Battle for Rome:

After few hours the defenders are crushed.Next day-a great impact in the sky.Now a menace for Bulgaria is only the rest of the italian fleet:

On 8.09 La Citta Eterna is captured.
On 11.09 two italians armies libarate the undefended province of Perugia,but bulgarians quickly made a pocket and destroy that formation.:

The problems before bulgarian supreme commanders arent connected with warfare-the problem is that our allies non-stop send troops to us and practicaly their supplying become our engagement.The good suggestions proposed by General Konstantin Lukash are approved and on 20.09 bulgarian government has a new member:

In Italy the end of war is matter of time only,but on East:

Start uprising in Gyor.Immediately Chechs who have territorial 'frictions' with Magyars(Slovakia) send to us offer for support in the establishment of peace and order in that region.Our and austrian aviation already strat to imposing peace,but Knyaz Kyril apreciate highly this proposal:

On 30.09 greek naval specialist finally develop short range submarine and General Bakyrdliev receive a green card for his ideas for Bilietzkrieg doctrine.20 days later Night Strafing is researched and we begin a revolutionary project for mechanized division

On 20.10 we gather toghether many armies in Reggio di Calabria(in fact the resistance in South Italy is unsignificant-the italians fight only for his honour) and strike Palermo.

 

[unmerged(85121)]

The capturing of island of Sicilia is may be the last truly difficult terrain.On the 10th day of operation we make amphibious assault-the only choice for quick conquest.Before that our aircrafts clean the waters:

and to our great surprise we execute easy the operation

In this stage of war Italy wisely prefer to defend the Libian seaboard.
On 3.11 we complete the research into Frontline Supply Service and start the project Basic Air Transport.
On 11.11 Italia practically left the last industrial center.Bulgarians and Russian slavic brothers appreciate that and attack the retreating troops:

Two days later the first bulgarian army arrive in the city.Surprisingly the new Roman Empire accepted our peace proposal without any contradictions:

On 13.11.1944 the World War II is over.

After this bloody conflict and total disorder Tzarstvo Bulgaria is with rank of great power actually:

 

[unmerged(85121)]

I think the Italian sounding ones are that way because we don't really have Anglicized names for them. Bologna is Bologna for us too, as well as for the Italians. At least, I've never seen any maps that call it "Baloney"

Nope,i think this is linguistic imperialism :rofl: Everything would be in Italian

 

[unmerged(85121)]

Yes, the Italians look to be well and truly on the run.

Italia is dead o

Tutto e finito!Io capisco questo e tu,signore?Capisci?

 

[unmerged(85121)]

Few days after the end of the war start a new uprising this time in other place of bulgarian empire-in mountainous region of Kurdistan:

Partisans are easily crushed,but this is signal that our human resources arent adequate to cover all parts of this enormous country so on 12.12 we reestablish the old Ottoman dinasty to rull the nations of Turkey,Syria,Kyurdistan,West Armenia et cetera:

Industrial capacity parameters(and TC)decreased drastical but our beligerence now drop to 172 and we have 5-10 divisions for transferring in other rebellious areas.IC before-105/92 now 95/82(5% dissent).Next months arent very interesting for military and chauvinist disposed people in the country.On the diplomatic field all efforts by bulgarian diplomats and liders are directed to make better the relationships with austrian national socialists.After the end of the great military conflict both nations are in partial isolation like fascist regimes and colaboration and the future alliance between them will improve great their security and economical development.
Two years of good diplomacy give his fruits:

But including in our alliance still is far away.On 30.02 our constructors in Kazanlyk present a new evil high tech equipped division:

Well after liberation of Ottoman empire our infrastructure capacity isnt capable to cover necessities of the generals for quick transportation of troops,machines and provisions.

You have to make comparision with previous data on 12.12.(the 2 PIC in this update)

Good news are that our new member-the Turks produced for three months 3 armies so practically the balance-sheet is 7 IC points sacriface=3 division:78 days

1.03.1945

Most important thing in april is the start of our rocket program-Atanas Burov skill 5 begin a development of the project Rosket Engine (daily progress 1.20%-note that we have two rocket test sites in Sofia)
In may Austria reject our military proposal:

Relationships with them +200(after that +190)
Same month the first results of the Second Industrialization are realized:

So,after one year we will able to liberate Romania(may be!- 30-33 IC x 0.35=10.5/11.55IC approximately) and to assure our north-east frontline with semi-strong ally(because im impatient to wait 3-4 years for good expanding of the war machine of the new members+ i have to liberate Hungary).Both liberations of Hun and Rom are impossible without sacrifacing of one tech slot actually.Grrrrrrrrrhhhh!

 

[Tanesis]

What's next for the Bulgarian superpower and her allies? Lunch in Moscow or dinner in Washington (via a breakfast in London)?

Tanesis,

 

[Rotten Venetic]

Just keep those lands (traitor mode again ) as you need that fifth techslot as well as all that IC for taking on the Soviet Union, since you don't necessarily have to declare on them for that: they could declare on you instead
