September
A very progressive month, however September started out very poorly.
There were 5 divisions that headed up into Aimens. However, they would be beaten back. A soldier writes in his journal...
We were not ready for the attack. They divided us up and the the moral was low. Men we used to fighting together were seperated, friends were torn apart. The friendship you develop during a war is very important. It creates a bond that saves lives. We were torn apart...
We had no artillery support. It was just us and our guns...we were slaugtered. When we moved into a small town outside of the city of Aimens it was a preview of what was to come. The French were using British Bren guns set up in windows everywhere...Thank god we cut the supplies off. After that we finnaly captured the town, at a cost. We stayed there for a day and moved onto Aimens itself. We were about four kilometers out of town when the horrible sound arrived. French tanks were heading out of it, towards us. There were about 30 of them and we had nothing to protect ourself with. A full retreat was ordered. We ran back, passed the town. They began firing at us from about 2 kilometers away. There were 40mm tank rounds comming at us at great speed. Explosions rocked the ground as I ran back. Our CO told us we had a bit of air support comming out way. It came, it knocked out about 5 tanks but they still came at us. It wasn't untill we reached Sedan when we were safe.
This is when the french made their mistake. The tanks kept comming. We were safe though. We protected the city quite well. When the tanks were about 1 kilometer away all hell broke loose. We had about 10 or 12 88mm cannons designed for the Anti Tank purpose waiting for them. They all fired simutaniously, each had their own target. The shell went right into the tanks, and 9 blew up instantly. It lasted about 3 minutes, 1 French tank surrendered and we used it as our own with the German-French citizens of Strabourgh.
At this point, the men holding the city made a counter attack to the one we had recieved...
The British
The British at first stayed out of the war. However, on the 14th of September, they declared war on the Germans. Their fleet was massive...yet old. Could the Germans stand up to this? Of course...
The Navy
The first naval battle of the war took place off the cost of Lille near France.
Greatly out numbered, the Germans using superior tactics finnaly managed to beat back 61 British ships. However, it was apparent that the Germans needed a larger navy, steps were being taken to do this. For a period though, the Germans began to build many Fw200 Condors. This plane had an extremely long range and a fierce anti ship capability. As well, modified He111s with torpedoes would be used. However that would only be a stop-gap replacement untill the Fw200s were out in numbers.
An Fw200 Condor being worked on...
Amiens
After the first failed attack, a second attack was moving into Aimens. It took three days to secure the city. The French forces were tired after the first attack and the second one did them all out. The Germans were succesfull. The war was going very well.

Think of it more as a three front war.
Front 1:Belgium
Front 2:Switzerland+Italy
Front 3:Spain

Yeah so...Anybody reading this? I have only had 4 people respond. If nobody is reading this I cant see the point in keeping this going.
Is there something wrong with it you would like to be improved? Just tell me and I will do it.

Serbia
It was a struggle going on for decades. The Serbian problem was one of great importance. Austria look a lot of land them from them in the late 1800s. The Serbs have always tried to revolt against the Austrian government however it always proved futile. After the attempted assasination of the Archduke in 1914 the Austrian put harsher restrictions on the Serbians. Now it was time for annexation. The 25th of October found an official decleration of war on the Serbians. Surely they had no chance against Austria. They were surrounded. Montenegro was declared a part of Austria in 1926 as will of the public. Serbia had no friends in their world. Their time was over. The war would not last a month...

November
November was the most successfull month the Grand Alliance has had for a long time.
After taking Aimens from France they have pushed to take it back many times. However it proved useless. There was a small attack late october of about three divisions but it was quickly pushed back. Again on the first of November.
There was one attack on the 5th though that caught the Germans by suprise. They were being attacked in from four diffrent directions. There were twelve divisions in total that had invaded Aimens including one tank division from Lille and two from Paris. The city was almost cut off untill an available group of Stukas came to aid. Thank the Luftwaffe. The Stukas obliterated the flanking French units. A diversionary attack from Sedan was then set up. An artillery barrage on Reims cut off supply from that direction and the southern invading force had to be called back. The northern tank division from Lille was completely destroyed crossing the river. They made perfect targets for high flying He111s that demolished several bridges that were being crossed. The same thing happened to the tank divisions invading from Paris. The most powerfull attack came from Rouen of about 4-5 divisions. They had strong artillery support, but no anti-aircraft defense. German bombers just took out the artillery guns in an operation of wide level bombing of the area. The battle was won.
Casualty report:
2 Stukas, all crew rescued
1 He111, crew MIA presumed KIA
237 infantry KIA
2 Officers
French casualties are estimated between 800-1200 KIA

Serbia
Like presumed it was less than one month of fighting. The civilian public simply gave up. The Germans had lent Austria three air flotillas of He111s to decimate Beograd. It worked. The fighting ended on the 15th of November with little resistance after that. It seemed the public was mostly content. The Austrian government agreed to give everyone there Austrian citizenship and they were treated like any other person in the empire. Resistance leaders however shared a diffrent fate...

France
After the invading force Rommel commanded took Tabres the army quickly divided themselves to take more land. Rommels army had taken Tabres, Bayonne, Montpillier, Toulouse, Auch, and Bordeaux. The latest city captured was Rodez in which there was fierce fighting between 3 French divisions and one tank backed German division. The French simply stood no chance and on the 20th of November the city was taken as well as it's surroundings.

All Quiet On The Western Front
The months of December and January were met with complete stalemates and failed andvances.
One German attack posed to assault Saint Etienne, it was doomed from the start. Without proper mountain gear the Germans were torn apart. The French were high up in the mountains, pouring machine gun fire down the mountains. Artillery attacks by the Germans failed as the French simply withdrew to man made caves. It was a strategical failure by the Germans, 1783 Germans died in the failed assault. This would never happen again...Hopefully...
Christmas Party
Though Zimmermann was Jewish he loved Christmas because he got presents anyways! On the 25th of December Zimmermann got so drunk he passed out in a room full of girls...Nobody knew, but now you do so keep it quiet.
Mountain Troops
The troops that began training in May were finnaly done the grueling process. They were quickly deployed to France. Their primary target was Saint Etienne and they were determined to take it. Over the next couple weeks they would organize and prepare for the attack. Since these troops were backed by artillery brigades the Germans were willing to nearly blow up the mountains to get threw. There was one cannon deployed with an 800mm cannon. It was called the Gustav, there was only one made and it used a special track...

I've heard of RR guns but Damn that's a big gun. 800mm
That's what like 12 inches???

Their is a 6 inch gun which I believe is about the same as an 88MM or close. So, I don't think its 12 inches. More like umm... 60 inches. Maybe, I dunno. That is no-brainer math
.
I dont know inches at all being canadian and all. But i can give you a bit of info on the gun
It was made in germany and used in the siege of sevestapol. It fired many rounds and an underwater bunker or something like that. it finnaly blew it open. the gun needed it's own special railway. after every certain amoutn of shots the gun barrel had to be cleaned, the way it was cleaned? send a guy inside the barrel and sweep it up. after the siege it was dissembled and sent throughout germany and never used again
