German AAR session 6
Germany
Nov 1940 - May 1941
The intense battle of the Med. continued until the end of the year.
We managed to retake sicily after alot of effort. But with the massive landing of allied forces in tobruk they gained an airbase close to sicily, from which they could send fresh fighters and help most of their halfdead airforce out from sicily. This also seriously threatened to cut of our forces near El-Alamein. Luckily the tanks held out and the allies stayed in tobruk until they had evacuated some of their troops from sicily.
Signs of a Soviet attack on europe in 1 januari 1941 was clearly visible so after the retaking of sicily we gave up on north africa and moved our forces back to europe to counter this threat. The german airforce had other things
in mind though. Massive bombingcampaigns, targeting the british homeislands industry and infrastructure. While the british fighterforces where still recovering from their fighting in africa and guarding their newly conquered landareas.
The threats from the beast in the east also forced us to cancel the planned attack on turkey and attack of the middle east and suez from that direction.
This would have been intiated in the begining of the year if not the red bear threatened to cut us off from caucasus and killing the best of our troops.
The future looks dark and hostile. Both the Sovietunion and USA is becoming more aggressive in their foreignpolicy.

Our brave warriors on Sicily came under very hard pressure; the axis hordes began to attack over the narrow strait from Italy. Reckless they attacked in raft and other poor ships. Our submarine fleet tried to block the strait, but got decimate in battle with the German U-boats. To relieve pressure on the Sicily we made an attack on Tobruk and secured an airfield. By this we got the possibility to send our fighter force to sea around Sicily and evacuated our forces in Catania, our forces in Palermo had to withdraw to Catania. We tried to get ready to evacuate them too, but Italy landed from sea in Catania and got our troops cut off. We took revenge by moving our battle fleet to sea and annihilated the landing fleet.
After the fall of Sicily we withdraw from Tobruk to Suez to prepare for the coming storm and anticipated attack on Turkey to get access to Suez. Italy send a transport fleet with reinforcement to their north Africa army and we ambushed that fleet and nearly annihilated that fleet. Many Italian soldiers drowned in the sea. Most of Italian fleet has nearly entirely been sunk.
To our surprise the Axis choice not to attack Turkey and instead withdrew all their troops to Europe. The Axis instead chose to take the fight to UK itself. Suddenly huge amount of tactical bombers began bombing the UK homeland and the German fighters were all flying the British airspace. Our fighters were overwhelmed by this sudden attack and our industry strength has been devastated.
We must win the battle of Britain and beat the Bombers back. Our Empire is now secure and we must now fight for our homeland.

Hi there!
Nice AAR's! Thanks for sharing.............
I'm in the process of researching rules that are used in MP. I was wondering if you use any and if so may I get a copy of them? I'm trying to find the best set or maybe create a combination of all the best rules. Thanks!

Alas things looks grim indead.
Unfortunately the Current Italian Leadership has shown to excert more or less the same kind of command and control incompetence as the one 60 years ago.
Even that we retook Sicily in a bold move with simultaniuos landings in both north and south Sicily, thereby annihalating the 4 British Marine divisions there together with some allied divisions. The loss of the divisions in route to africa was a devastating blow. They will be sorely missed, when we have to defend the European Mainland.
The combined attack on Sicily, where a high risk operation undertaken by the Italian Navy, the loss of the intire covering fleet which had the task of delaying the Allied navy long enough to make a succesfull landing. Where a unnecesary loss, that could have been prevented with timely action. However the incompetence by the Italian high command to ensure the necesary command and control procedures where in place, has been very well exploited and punished by the Allies.
The evacuation of Africa was unfortunately necesary, since the combined Axis forces would not have been sufficient to launch an offensive in egypt. While still maintaning sufficient forces to guard against an expected 300 divisions strong Soviet attack in Poland. If such an attack had been launched in january 1941, the chance for a succesfull defence would have been slim.
There are very few possibility's left, that this war can be concluded i a satisfactorily manor. However the German Airforce has once again proven itself superior to the allied, the loss on UK industry has indeed been severe.
Ceterum censeo Londinium esse delendam..... i hope.

Nov 1940 - May 1841
Japan stands ready for anything, while the world stirs in chaos; soon, we may have to get involved in this European war, but first we have to deal with our greatest foe---the United States....

Hardly anything going on for Japan, except that I just made the first Playstations.

Nat. Spain
No major land operations were made this phase. Our fleet assisted Germany and Italy in taking back Sicily. Shortly after the attack our and german fleets were attacked by a large british fleet north of Sicily. No retreat was possible as we needed to protect retreating italian transports. We managed to sink some smaller british ships but our fleet was badly mangled and lost some ships as well.
After the Sicily was taken the Axis HC decided that the forces in North Africa are not sufficient to drive the Allies from Egypt and secure the Suez so general retreat order was given. Evacuation went as planned without any losses.

Germany
May 1941 - Aug 1941
The summer continued with big bombingscampaigns over the UK. At one point they where down to 77 base IC and lost a tech. But the threat from the east was to obvious to ignore so we decided to make a preemtive attack on them in the begining of july. As we thought the soviets had all their armies by the border, standing ready to attack us any day. The battles have have been great but no progress can be made it seems, there is simply to many enemy forced packed in the defense of the soviet union.
The soviets even managed to sneak in a division landing by berlin and taking the defenseless city for a few hours. The destruction of the city was total and we lost some valueble natural resources. This was totally unnecessary and a big moral blow for the forces fighting in the borderarea of soviet union.
The real world war has begun. Japan and USA has also joined the war after an aggressive USA decided to start blocking trade with japan.

Brazil holds strong!
Brazil continued her complete and utter success on the battlefield in the past months, her army, navy, and airforce involved in fighting all over the world! The Axis making the wise decision to NOT come to Suez, where brave Brazillians would easily hold the line against their inferior forces, have instead decided to attack the Soviet Union, where their forces shall be concentrated, paving the way for more and more Brazillian victories, in other parts of the world, Japan shall soon feel the sting and suffer at the hands of Brazillian arms. The Japanese Empire has already proven how weak and incompetent it is, just like their European counterparts, Brazil shall soon also be be defeating and claiming the nation of Argentina, who's people have been forced along with their weak and cowardly government to fight alongside Japan, soon our Argentine brothers will aid us with their factories and themselves. Brazil grows stronger, the Axis grow weaker. Victory was certain before, but Victory has come now.
Viva Brasil!
In other news, Russia took Berlin.

UK AAR 7 august to 22 august
The German bombing campaign against our beloved homeland had left huge parts of the country devastated. During a particular vicious bombing run I was hit and to be hospitalised, luckily one my colleague at war college could lead UK during these harsh times. On the 7 August I heard the good news that Japan could no longer hold their aggression back and had attacked USA. With the mighty Americans on the side of freedom we will be able to push the Fascist aggressors back and free their countries of their oppression. In the East the communists and fascists have begun fighting.
These news cheered me so much up that I was ready again for action. Japanese has begun to invade India and attacking Burma. Our forces are ready to push the invaders back and protect the crown jewel of the British Empire. A Japanese scout fleet was spotted at Java and is now being bombarded by Brazilian naval bombers and mighty British fleet has arrived in Far East. Further East the Americans is getting forces ready to punish Japan for her reckless attack.
With recent events our situation has been much improved and final victory can be seen in horizon.

Not much has happened in these last few months, losses has been replaced by new fresh divisions and the Army are now considerable larger than a year ago. Reasent events have shown conclusively, that we are no longer fighting an offensive war but must suffer a long and hard defensive war. With USA in the war on allied side we face an overwhelming force both in manpower and IC. Only a decisive victory on the invasion beaches can now delay or final doom.
Ceterum censeo Londinium esse delendam..... lets face it, its not going to happend.....sigh......

Then it happened, August 7.th the Japanese jumped out of the coffin with their direct attack on US interests in the pacific.
American planes and troops were immidiately dispatched to the conflict areas.
So far few battles have been fougt. Some of our subs got a lesson in diving when they meet modern German subs, fortunately we are paying back with another proud submarine division fighting it out with the rusty argentinian fleet.
The might of the American army is yet to be demonstrated.

The previous leader of our great country was the greatest traitor of our beloved country. He got in power in '36 his fist orders were to ruin our superior army by killing our best generals , so our soldiers were totally demoralized. Second he orderd too much weapons for the army (which was beheaded) nearly ruined our economy. He even made a pact with our greates enemy nazi Germany.
Therefor in late 40 the people have risen up and stormed the Kreml took out HC to the plaza and torn him into pieces. On the next week i became the new master of the communsim.
It took some months to estimate the damage he caused and make plans for rebuilding the empire. First i had to reorg the army with newly trained leaders and redeploy it near the german border , it was clear if we wont act quickly they can assault Turkey and annihilate the middle eastern british army and take over Suez , which would jeopardise the whole soviet kaukasus region and further assimilation of the middle east.
My army were ready to take actions againt the axis by Jan of 1941. Hitler and his allies were shocked and quickly ordered a full army redeployment to former
Poland and eastern Romania. The allies used this out and recaptured most of north africa within weeks.
There were too many stuff on the other side of the west soviet border so i delayed the european purge until my new armored divs are finnished. The germans used this peace period well by bombing Brittain into ashes. Again Churchill asked me for help to hold down as much german solider as i could , so Ive cancelled the summer holliday of the army and ordered it to set up a front line along the border and prepare for attack.
Somehow the germans found this out and attacked us with full force in jul 22 ,when my army was the middle of the preparations. However their units were too few and thanks to glorius sacrifice of men the advance halted after 50-60km, they even havent reached the pre polish war soviet border. There were some breakthroughs by german superior tanks but the counter attacks alwaysed pushed them back.
On the south front ,where mostly hungarian and romanian troops were deployed, nothing happened as both sided were setting up defences along the riverline.
In the east the pitty japs choosed to attack both India and Philippines at the same time , this bold action only bought another huge allies to UK in the face of americans. However only some weeks passed the japan attack looks slow ,and if they cant hurry up the huge american economy soon smash them.

Shamefully, we are beaten---forced to war, we were unprepared, although our troops fought admirably; as it stands, we retreat to hills to hold the attacks of the round-eyed devils...

Hey, my first time as Japan...oh well, it happens.

Italy
Italy has used the last couple of months to prepare for the predicted allied invasion. We sent some airforce to japan to help our friends to defend against the allied defence, we have succesfully defeated several allied fighter and bomber formations together with our allies.
In the med we have attacked the allied fleets several times and have destroyed several ships. In a glorious attack we destroyed 3 divisions on Crete. This success is sadly far from enough to turn the tide. Axis are on the defence on all fronts.
We will go down with the sinking ship and fight to the second last man.
