Blitz Carnage

To sum it up then only US can do anything relevant?

BTW they could have invaded Spain, sure, but that doesn´t mean they HAVE to send armies there to push the allies back.

Yup, but then they would have had a solid base from which to advance into France, at which point the Axis would still have had to respond. Like I said, it would have worked out better than what did happen.

Invasions of other areas (Balkans, Italy) wouldn't really offer the same prospect although they would stop the Axis from being able to concentrate their forces.

Also how effective would a port strike against ships are think if u could hit a carrier fleet in port with them
Another thing from games ive seen Japan has an amazing amount of manpower lets put it to some good use in europe

UK here: Regarding place of invasion; consider cap XXXVI. Allies no longer rules the sea. And has not done for some time. That limits the operational freedom quite a bit.

I was wondering what UK's manpower is like, the US and the USSR are the ones probably doing the heavy lifting at this point due to the loss of those british divisions. Also the lack of a effective war against Japan means that Japan is probably doing quite well. I can't recall, but are the Austrailians and New Zealand still in the fight?

Look on the bright side, at least the UK still has the channel. : p

In any case, it's always interesting to hear from players other than Captain, especially the Allies. Would it be possible to get an update from the other side? I'd really be interested in seeing how things have been developing behind Zid's lines. A look at VP distribution would be fascinating as well, to see if the Allies/Commies have the required 2/3rds yet.

Gamlastan, my hero! I admire your perserverance, in your situation I wouldn't have been able to keep my fighting spirit up. But wasn't the Japanese navy equally damaged? Isn't the seas basically free for everyone at this point? Would your fighters be able to cover an invasion of Spain? Otherwise they would probably be sitting ducks for the Axis bombers who can't have had much to do since the Luftwaffe lost air superiority on the eastern front.

This AAR is quite possibly the most awesome piece of literature I have ever read, I can scarcely wait for more updates!

...but I guess that works for Axis too in this game.

Fantastic game.
Every side is trying to make final blows that just aren't become final or successful at all. Everybody is doing their best but it's not enough. Despite the overly good performance of Germans they are fighting for time only as it seems.

That death trap for the American landing party in France was especially nasty. I'm sure the Allied players saw that one and just couldn't do anything, that's the worst if you run into such trap.

Good job guys, thank you for sharing your game with us!

An incoming update Cpt Easy ?

 

[thedarkendstar]

If this was TFH japan could be using german industry to be pumping millions of men out right now

 

[Lord Curlyton]

Not really, as Germany would likely not enjoy losing and having to replace a bunch of convoys. Italy would be the LL of choice for Germany. Japan just has to make do.

Germany could LL to Italy, then Italy LLs to Japan, so Italian route to the Japanese is used, might be a bit better. Of course, at this point Germany has IC not doing much so they could probably afford to replace convoys.

 

[Lord Curlyton]

There would be the massive NU hit due to the fact that its likely their only convoy, or one of few. I'm sure the Western Allies would love to start tanking the German NU to make their job a little easier assuming Zid breaks (or just plain bulldozes) Cpt, which I think is going to happen soon-ish (before agreed upon end date, at least).

 

[Surt]

Ztalin needs a good plan to stop the heavy armour of the Godly panzers, else they can still doom the commies, like much more AT.

 

[thedarkendstar]

But japan should have a ton of manpower if they get that ic for just a few months they could send and army or 2 to Germany or make more ships to gain naval superiority for at least a short while i mean japans infantry practical must be quite high right including there naval practicals i mean even with the occupation modifiers owning china and India generates allot of mp

 

[Surt]

AT wasn't very useful before TFH. He needs more tanks, and CAS

If the panzers are very hard heavy then they might do more damage, the advantage is that they don't need to have the piercing value high enough so all AT/hard attack will help.

This is so frustrating. Clear up something for me. If a fleet is in port and the port gets plastered, either by bombers or rockets, so that it goes to zero, can ships still sail from it? I know if the fleet needs repairs and that happens, it won't be repaired until the port gets rebuilt, at least part way.

Ships can still leave port I believe, even if it's blown to smithereens

 

[Beagá]

Same with planes.

However, the AI does have a stupid tendency of not moving damaged ships/planes from damaged bases...
