THE STEAMROLLER
At last, after a week of absence Japans troops were back under my control... and that felt good.
Offensive supply tanks racing to close encirclement.
Finnish tanks arrive first but are forced to retreat.
Georgian bombers tastes Japanese air superiority.
Malaysia pushing to make huge encirclement, ok maybe there arent 190 divs but ~150 for sure.
Bombers doing their share. Bye bye
Two Finnish armoured gone and counting
My armoured forces are forced to retreat due to loooong travel time exhaustion
But no matter!, 18 Finnish divisions are goners
TEH ENCIRCLEMENT!
Ach now I have reached 10 pictures, which was limit in the old days (including smileys
) Logistical strike to make defenders life that much harder.
And just about now Allies declare war on Axis to seal their fate, right when they are about to loose bulk of their best fighting forces.
Japan rejoices
The dusty ashy fortress of evil Ashgabat finally falls.
We got encirclement event as soon as Assault ends, doom ensured.
MEANWHILE dumdumdumduuum
Georgia nukes Quebec TWICE. I`m expecting Italian nuclear strike as promised but they dodges =[ cant trust anyone these days.
Pocket is being reduced in size
Finland admits Eastasian superiority, THE GAME IS DONE< WE WON W001. Too bad everyone else disagrees =[
Invasion of the southern Pacific islands is commenced
Front overview
Some more of Finnish divisions are to be evicted to provide target pratice for my CAS.
20 screenshots and it is only June 18, not even a month has passed.

Golle getting drunk, good for him.
Japan is island hopping forward.
Dunno where the rest of Georgian forces went, if he didnt disband them they must have died from lack of supplies. Dano ordering big
battle and going AFK, lol.
More of Norwegian forces are being persuaded to die.
27 armoured divisions are beaten back
Attack, intredict, force to retreat, ground attack, repeat as necessary. That TAC didnt die, actually I think I didnt lose anything this session.
Front overview July 5th.
Last stand at Fort Shevchenko
Logistical strike, again.
Attack, intredict, force to retreat, ground attack...
Retreat path for Finnish forces are cut off, unfortunately they regained some of the organisation in the retreat and managed to evict
the lone mechdivision.
Rinse and repeat...
Finland forces trying to GTFO
Undefended except for subs.
Oh come on that was modern SAG with good leader and correct capital/screen ratio =[
Retreating to save whats left. Fortunately nothing sank.
Ach, you were supposed to be on my side
At least I didnt lose any TPs, And although this is tactical defeat it is strategic victory as Italian subs retreat surrendering control of Hawaii to Japan.
Japanese troops getting cocky finally operating in good tank terrain.
For a while

Now that's what I call a proper screenshot documentation
The peanut gallery awards Jakalo the Blücher medal in gold:
Good job!
Now what's the situation in Airstrip One? Le Mupdate did not show any French held provinces in the British Isles.
And how far can 1947 strategic bombers fly? Is Arequipa already in range of Indonesia's strategic air force?? All that orange in the Pacific looks like it's dangerously close to the heart of the Oceanian alliance...o

Norwegian troops badly damaged from fighting against Quebec gets the worst from TACs.
Japanese elite MECH/SPART, the best INF killer in the game beating the crap out of similar sized Italian force.
Soon Prussia dead, ;/
Italians alone not able to stop the tide.
And one more goner
Allies exploiting lack of defence in the western front, gg Prussia.
Front overview
Ddddiieeeee
Onslought
And destruction
And merely occupation
9 divisions die
Us being evil and not letting him to retreat properly.
Another event, gotta love german doctorine path.
Fine by me, fine him.
Long live Eastasia.
*dont you dare to demand more screenshots
*proud*
There apparently is PARA in London and possibly naval invasion coming (I dont see why else he would want to sacrifice it).
Actually Japan is the one with airforce and nukes =] And no, I cant hit Arequipa yet, also I have no intention to do so unless provoked.

You know, the mods made a rule of having 20 screenshots max per update. I think. It was surely around 20. Better you check the rule.

You have to break a few rules to make an omelet.

Well, having seen some of the info posted on the thread, I'm impressed that Japan is doing so much with what it has. A third of Eurasia conquered and the Italians out of Hawaii with one of the smaller resource-bases in the game? Either a fine example of efficient uses of force, or a clear mastery inconvincing other people to use their human waves for Japanese Great Victory. Either way: NICE!
Now EastAsia must conquer france and quebec, so that the Norwegians get scared enough to call on the moon-Georgians for help. Tripods in Tokyo by Christmas laddie!

1. Great update Jakalo! I think you could use a few paras, that would make capturing Siberia and closing the encirclements that much easier (for example, the first one, where you say "the tanks are racing"). Also, good job on the Pacific, although it was sad from Oceania side, they keep losing whole armies in Middle East, but do not garrison strategically important islands that could be used to strike homeland. Which takes me to...
2. I want explanation from Oceania why didn't they pull out their forces.
3. Also, Foelsgard, perhaps you could write about that mysterious British islands invasion, and also explain the purpose of these paradrops in western Finland?
4. Also, Jakalo, your airforce is truly merciless. Build more destroyers and TPs, though (it was hilarious that Hawaii fell to 3 divisions). On a side note, i think i should've expected that you're most experienced HOIer, when you achieved incredibly high rate of IC growth in 1930's...

Ahh... i remember now saying earlier that Oceania has total superiority in Mediterraen UNLESS Quebec joins the war
Hopefully they managed to salvage their fleet through Suez because if not, they are totally screwed unless they can negotiate peace with Quebec before next session.
If i was Indonesia i would park quite significant fleet in the Red Sea though
Although i mean the army, why didn't they try to break from the front and rail the army north to Finland proper or something (you have a rule no strat redeploy while in contact with the enemy, right?)
In Finland it was mostly just me jumping from undefended airbase to undefended airbase. At one point it used them for encircling a few Finnish tanks, which sort of justified bringing the paras along (although I did use them to destroy a few retreating Prussian divisions earlier).
As for the mystery invasion of the British isles? Well, it wouldn't be a mystery if I told you about it would it?
Nah, they're just paras supporting an amphibious invasion.
I've told you at least two times that I can't nuke someone I'm allied to. As such the actual nuking has to be done by a different party. What matters isn't exactly who drops the bomb, but that it's legal to do so under the nuclear treaty since Quebec was hit twice. Whether you choose to abstain from doing so since Georgia is already crushed is up to you.
Noteworthy is also that since Quebec was never a signatory of said nuclear treaty, the Georgian nuclear strikes weren't actually violating the treaty. In the interest of a nuclear-free world I don't feel particularly bothered about including Quebec in it for practical reasons though.
Well, as far as Hawaii is concerned, it was 50% incompetence and 50% bad luck that had it fall in Japanese hands
Incompetence, because the islands were never fortified or even garrisoned, and bad luck that when I did want to send troops to Hawaii (some months prior to the Japanese landings) all my transports got stuck in the Med oAlso the damn auto-convoy AI didn't exactly encourage me to expand island garrisons: earlier in the game I lost nearly 10 divisions to starvation on other islands because the bastard AI couldn't keep supplies up
We did. I don't know about Norway but apart from those 9 infantry divisions destroyed in Syria I think all my troops have been redeployed to Finland proper. Hell I even airlifted out my commanders from the Syrian pocket
Well if someone could've bothered to tell the n00b well in advance that Hawaii was the key to the Pacific I could actually have put troops there
Oh well, shit happens

*cough*
Which is why I wrote well in advance
He wrote that either before last session or before the one before that, when I was already at war and had limited abilities to speed-fortify the islands. Of course, it's my fault for not doing it then but that's why I said it was 50% incompetence
While Indonesia is busy elsewhere, someone needs to land troops on those Indian Ocean islands ASAP (Diego Garcia, right?) and slap down an airport. Then redeploy the strategic bombers and threaten Indonesia with teh ultimate nukage!!! MUAHAHAHAHA That's what they are most afraid of, aren't they?

Ok then. But since you got stuck in the med, part of it is also Evil French Meddling. That really sucks.
Apart from a few divisions lost to Evil Japanese Airpower, my Persia Expeditionary Force was able to break contact and perform what Yngling doctrine refers to as a GTFO Maneuver.
It is worth noting that Japan and Finland were duking it out with lvl IV tanks, while the Norwegian ones are now lvl 7. Against this we must admit that the EastAsian tanks do have one important quality missing from the Norwegian ones, to wit, they are present in great numbers on the battlefield.

Anyone willing to try this stunt I can assure that it will be swiftly recaptured before you can spell ''nukage''. Also Japan has stockpiled enough nuclear bombs to retaliate. Also, you cant land there, it is out of range.
to Varyar: I recollect you saying YOU would nuke anyone using nuclear weapons, also feel free to edit yourself out of Axis so you can DOW Georgia
Yeah, yeah I know =] just a madmans hope
