Nice going, Uber. Bit worrying to see the Germans with INF '43, no?

And, how does your girlfriend feel about being shown to truckloads of history nerds (besides, don't feel guilty about hiatii. It happens to the best of us :rolleyes: )?

She thinks HOI2 is boring.. and says hello to you all.

December 12th, 1943 - December 17th, 1943

02:00 December 13th, 1943

We arrive in Kassel.

dec13th02hv3.jpg


05:00

The advancement south is begun. The armour is sent racing southwards, with infantry following up to consolidate. We also push on to Munster.

dec13th05if5.jpg


06:00 December 14th, 1943

Frankfurt-am-Main is taken from the fascist dogs.

dec14th06fe7.jpg


07:00 - 11:00

We face resistance in Nuremburg (from von Kluge, see below..), and the Germans try to retake Frankfurt-am-Main. All in vain.

dec14th0711zo9.jpg


12:00 December 14th, 1943 - 12:00 December 15th, 1943

However, at midday we run into von Kluge (again! How did he manage that?!). He manages to delay the advance by 24 hours - just imagine if he had been properly supported! It's just as well I keep on changing my axis of attack to keep the Germans off balance.

dec14th1215th12jv0.jpg


03:00 December 16th, 1943

We push into Czechslovakia. If we capture here, I may use it as a bargaining chip with the pesky Soviets to get Cottbus off them.

dec16th03qj9.jpg


05:00

We arrive in Munster.. the General takes time off to go visit some of his family who live there (in Haltern, Germany fans!).

dec16th05pn2.jpg


06:00

However, the Germans don't like this and try to get it back. And fail. Again.

dec16th06oq0.jpg


02:00 - 13:00 December 17th, 1943

However, the next day the Germans are back in force. We can't help and so launch an attack against Wilhelmshafen - but it doesn't distract the Germans who force a retreat. The first one for a long time - a sign of things to come?

dec17th0217th13ag4.jpg


16:00

And our troops advancing into Czechslovakia again into a German defensive line consisting of a HQ unit. Makes me wonder what the Russians are doing to them in the East if this is what they are defending against me with. Not that I am complaining.

Looking good...

How long time do you think it will take before the last european territory is taken from the germans? and hmm.... will the surrender events even fire since you hold berlin?

Though unfortunately it looks like they will probably be able to snatch Vienna off you.

Great progress. Though it would be kind of helpful if the Allies gave you some sort of a D-Day, just to lighten the pressure in the West. Of course the Soviet AI is always a little bit screwy.

Tell her that she vaguely resembles Sarah from CSI.

Hopefully you can hold the line in west.
Southern Germany looks empty, are you planning to attack to Austria before the Soviets get there?

Looking at the map.... Is it just me, or are the Germans seriously out of troops? I can see few units here and there, but no cohesive defense-line or anything like that?

They might be, but that would be a little wierd. Doesn't the AI move when their capital and atleast 50% of their homeland are invaded? Seems a little wierd, but then again Germany might have lost a lot of troops fighting the Soviets aswell.

Keep up the good work Von Uber!

It's a good question.. where has the German Army gone?

December 18th, 1943 - December 28th, 1943

14:00 December 19th, 1943

We arrive in Nuremburg. Someone suggests it might be a good place for a trial.

dec19th14ci2.jpg


15:00

However, an hour later the Germans recapture Munster. Boo!

dec19th15zh6.jpg


09:00 December 20th, 1943

Wilhelmshafen is also occupied by us. We have reached the North Sea. How good is that eh? Bet you lot never thought we'd make it!

dec20th09hz9.jpg


10:00

And an hour later we finally blow the HQ unit to pieces in Usti.

dec20th10nm2.jpg


01:00 December 21st, 1943

We now have our own part of the Sudentenland. The population greet us with flowers and heavily salted broth with dumplings, little knowing they may just end up as a bargaining chip.

dec21st01mv0.jpg


13:00

The final phase of the division of Germany is launched - With the capture of this province, the German forces still fighting strongly in the East will be cut off from the West.

dec21st13ks2.jpg


07:00 December 23rd, 1943

Regensburg is now ours. More territory denied the Soviets.

dec23rd07wi7.jpg


December 25th, 1943

The first round of Infantry upgrades occur - and will carry on over the next couple of weeks. I know there is a lot of debate about whether it's worth it, and whether to wait until the '45 model etc etc, but frankly I need all the stat increases I can get - and I don't have much else to spend the old IC on!

dec25th00wt2.jpg


December 26th, 1943 - December 28th, 1943

We start operations to clear out Denmark..

dec26th08xr3.jpg


.. but clearly much more troops are required - and at the moment, we don't have them to spare. Incidentally, one division has had to be left behind in Stettin to guard against the Panzer division trapped in Bornholm Island. If only we had some marine divisions..

Unless you are already using a Compassionate Gentleman as Minister of Security, you should consider switching to one at this point with all those provinces you've occupied even only 5% of their manpower should help you given how small your Baltic MP pool is.
