Brave Italian forces launch an attack on Grenoble, to help their German comrades who got bogged down in Belgium after heavy RAF activity!
As our forces advance to Grenoble, Marshal Balbo leads an attack on Nice to make sure Grenoble won't face a counterattack.
Later, our foces attack Lyon and push the cowardly French out of there.
Our tanks land in Marseille, and move on to assault further. Italian flag will fly above Paris!
Our brave navy, which had crossed Gibraltar just before the war started, was damaged by a much more superior English fleet. Both sides had no loses, other then the English pride, because those cowards were forced to retreat to Gibraltar.
(PS: Like the names of my ships? RM Andrea Doria was renamed into RM Barbaros Hayreddin. You gotta love the irony.)
French launch a counterattack on Lyon, where our brave lions rest. French are of course beaten.
Our soldiers push on deeper into French motherland, to save our German friends from their miserable situation in Belgium.
While our brave forces continue their advancements, heroic Spanish nationalists declare war on the vile Bhuntanese. So-called allies see this as an act of agression, and they declare war on righteous Spanish.
They try to hold on aganist our might once again, but no one can stand aganist these brave soldiers!
They try to hold out aganist us once again, but nothing can stop our advancement into the France!
We try to breach their so-called mighty Maginot Line, while they counterattack on our location.
Brave Marshal Badoglio reaches Mulhouse! Maginot line is broken! No fortification can hold the mighty Italians and Germans!
They once again counterattack our locations, but anything they try will only make things longer and more painful for them!
Our forces push closer to Paris.
After a brief and bloody battle of Paris, brave soldiers of General Graziani advance into the City of Lights, while world watches in shock and awe!
It's done! Brave sons of Italy raise the flag of the fatherland above Paris! World is amazed!
Still thinking they have a chance to win, the French try to hold Italians back once again. But, the war is already lost for them.
760,000 men surrender to the might of Axis in Lille. French government offically surrenders, with only some idealistic generals leading an independence movement.
Earlier in the war, Royal Air Force had gained alot of honor in Belgium. Germans were beaten heavily by the British planes.
But, same cannot be said for the Italians. Foolish enemy tries to land on Sardinia, supported by their bombers and their escorts. Fighters of brave Italian Air Forces shoot down many of their planes, thus saving Luftwaffe's honor. Meanwhile, our ground forces push the invaders back.
Sardinia is a huge victory for our forces, as our outnumbered forces hold aganist a much more stronger force.
English would try it once again with same size of forces, including planes. But, Italian defenders won't abondon a part of their fatherland!
Glory to Italy!
AVE IL DUCE !
GG Beladriel, thanks for subbing ITALIA !
(I was gonna name my carrier after you but you already did it lol)

Damn I keep forgetting to take pictures. By the time I remembered to take pics warsaw already fell and all I have are pics of beating AI yugo/bulgaria. Shame too, the battle for Warsaw was the bloodiest battle in europe and cost me over 50 mp in the first battle alone.
Wait till you do China vs Japan. Nows theres some huge manpower casualties.
But good update Beladriel. Totally amazed at Italy and Spain's gains. Lol at germany getting nowhere.
I'd say it rivaled some of the action in China so far. 102 divisions attacking 37 defenders and losing half their manpower in a few weeks. As a result of the slaughter in Warsaw I actually had to cancel all my inf builds just to scrape up the manpower to conquer the balkans immediately after poland fell.
Aug 39 - May 40
After a long struggle Germany conquered continental Europe. Chinese and Japanese agreed to make peace while the rest of the world enters war. USA is under human control, but not in war... yet.
The Chinese army is vast and numerous. Even the TC is red for the upkeep of units and IC is streched to the limit at producing supplies.
Still the outnumbered Japanese are able to defeat Chinese divisions with their elite divisions. There is only one option to end this bloody war...
OPERATION TAIWAN THUNDER - A plan to lauch fast landings into unoccupied Taiwan to force Japan into peace. The Chinese 'navy' is made up of just 2 transports... one of them Guanxi. Chinese bombers will probe the area for the Japanese navy, while the transports attempt to hoard in as much troops as possible.
The Chinese transports have to avoid the IJN at all costs!
Meanwhile yet another offensive fails in the north. The stakes have never been higher!
But the skilled Chinese Admirals manage to avoid the IJN. The Japanese didn't see any Chinese transports during the operation! ...The Emperor of Japan calls his Admirals 'idiots'!
Meanwhile another minor is humilitating a major power. That happened 2-3 times! ...With Allied troops ofc. Germany launched a fast offensive to Belgium and Poland. Poland made heave resistance (with mil control). Somehow the RAF was able to own the Luftwaffe and bomb all infra to 0%. The German Army was actually pushed back, but meanwhile in Southern France...
Unfortunately the Japanese are able to send troops to Taiwan and Chinese convoys are messed up. 6 divisions were lost, but for a good cause. The Japanese have seen the light. With Chinese threatening Tokyo and Korea and the ever lasting stalemate, a peace was beginning to form...
Japan got to keep Manchuria, Dalian and Korea. China will get them back someday, that's why we refused the NA pact from Japan. But for now Chinese resources were going red and the army was streched. But now we can go past Japan with our power and get a 5th tech team! China will be unified after a long time of humiliation. It happens NOW!
What is this USSR?! Under massive USSR pressure, China agreed to form a NA pact with USSR that will last till -44. Also Mongolia had to be agreed to be left alone and obviously CHC now. Also to the international community, China had to agree to stay out of the new World War at least till -43. (For balancing purposes)
Meanwhile in Europe, the smaller Axis powers were closing Paris.
Finally after a long siege, the Romanian and Hungarian troops were able to break Warsaw.
Then the Maginot was "flanked"??? And Paris fell! :rofl:
Chiang's Veteran Army was approaching Guanxi. Other armies were deployed close to the rogue Warlords after the peace with Japan.
China has to unify her rightful claims! Unfortunately the red areas will take time...
Meanwhile in Europe, Yugoslavia was really owning Italy!
Japan decides to invade Siam! (don't ask me why).
While China begins the campaign of unification! Warlord troops have no chance against the elite Republican Army. Originally the plan was to wait till Spring, but what the heck.
Japan organizes Indo-China.
Sinkiang allies with Japan and dows China 3 times! Japan has to make peace twice and finally they kick Sinkiang out of their alliance. Currently the war exists and Sinkiang is sinking down!
Here is the current Axis-dominated Europe.
Note that Denmark is a German puppet. Probably because of the high partisan levels coz it was annexed in -39.
The Republican Airforce is finally entering the modern world!
The TOP 12. China will soon go past Japan while Italians are still repairing the IC damage in North Italy. Germany received huge amounts of IC from France and Poland to counter the USSR IC. But USA and UK form a powerful core for the Allies. Hungary and Romania are about to go over 60 IC, thanks to their invasion of Yugoslavia and Bulgaria.

ECONOMY REPORT
Mass conscription has started, every man capable of holding a rifle is called to arms (Some 4.800.000 million troops altogether). The only bad side of this is, that there are not enough rifles for everyone and some soldiers will just have to run in front of enemy machine guns and play living shields so the guys with weapons can do the rest. Airforce and tank production is also proceeding on massive scale.
FOREIGN POLICY REPORT
Comments on the German invasion of France:
At first I tough that France would be pretty much destroyed in some 2 weeks or so. The situation just didn't look good. When the invasion started, that was almost confirmed with Belgium being overrun within a week. But under the brilliant leadership of the RAF, the German advance was stalled and with a back stab maneuverer from Metz, the whole German army got encircled in Belgium. Whiteout the declaration of war from the Italian and Spanish side, the German invasion of France would end in a total disaster. Well atleast the invasion of France lasted for 4 months, which has fully disrupted the initial Germany plan of dominating most of Europe within 2 months. The Soviet leadership solutes the English high command (Nazi_Lt).
Comments to the German invasion of Poland:
Poland has put up a stiff resistance against the Germans, even conducting counterattacks, which resulted in the eventual capture of whole Prussia and the destruction of 3 German divisions in Memel. Warsaw was besieged for about 4 months before being forced to surrender to overwhelming odds. The rest of the polish army which managed to escape encirclement has reached the Soviet border 3 months after the start of the war. To help our Slavic friends, USSR has allowed them to cross our border and to march to wards Murmansk, where they were picked up by the royal navy to continue their fight on the English side.
The Chinese resolution:
The Chinese and the Soviet union were in tense negotiations since the start of the session to secure peace between japan and China (Yes USSR was negating for Japan). After 2 months we finally came to an agreement. China will recognize the Independence of Mongolia and will leave the Chinese communists alone (Which have been allied by the USSR after the peace agreement was concluded. Represented by the pink color on the map). China would also leave Manchu as a puppet of Japan. The only things in discussion were the status of Northern china and the territories which were directly administered by Japan in China. USSR has proposed that all the territories of northern china become part of China, expect Beijing being proposed as a special area (Spain was really greedy to get direct control over it), under international administration (Not influenced by Japan, nor China- see blue area). The border would become the red line. China didn't want to agree to those terms. The international community forced a gamble where China would be given time till Jan 1940 (Some 3 months) to annex Northern China and recapture Beijing. If they wouldn't achieve that, the peace proposed by the USSR would come in action. They managed to recapture the city a month before the deadline and with that secured the borders, you see on the screen.
NKVD special report:
In the last session it became clear that the NKVD is probably the most effective and best intelligence service in the world. By concluding 6 successful smear missions in the session (Something which was not beaten by any nation in all the sessions together). The effectiveness could not be ensured without secret sponsors.
Hoohoo, a page full of epic fail. :rofl:
So Italy and Spain actually beat up France, and Germany got the land?
So Italy and Spain actually beat up France, and Germany got the land?
I couldn't even get Marseille. Go to hell with Vichy France!
In the next session, we will hopefully see Argentina dominating zee entire world!

Spain and Italy should definitely have been rewarded for their Heroic efforts in Spain. Would it require too much work compared to the benefits to change it?
Hoohoo, a page full of epic fail. :rofl:

And not to mention, the glorious army of Kingdom of Yugoslavia shaming the Hitlerite pact by successfully invading northern Italy, before succumbing to cowardly attack by Romania and Hungary.
Hm...I like the borders of über-Hungary and über-Romania, they look quite..organic.
Their what
100 vs. 18 Spanish troops took part in just few battles, and lost those too, while Italians proceeded slowly cos they had to wait all their >60 divs to beat 18 divs of Frenchies. So forget the "Heroic".
