Barbarrossa : War in the East
June 22nd 1941.
The Gestappo had uncovered plots by the USSR to invade Germany. It appears stalin was planing to try and hit Germany before we could turn our full might on them. Stalin has miscaluclated thinking the bulk of our forces would be in the west fighting the UK. Instead Germany had been preparing for a preventive war. To strike first to preserve the peace.
Situation September 1941.
Germany forces advanced up to the first major rivers without opposition. It was only around kiev that the first Sovet armies were encountered. There was tough fighting for Axis forces to cross the river, but massed panzer forces smashed across the river line and advanced a few provinces befor having to reorg and wait for infantry to catch. Although it cost alot of org on our tanks the river line needed to be breached quickly before the USSR oculd gather its strength.
Mean while in the north Germany invaded sweden to prevent the USSR from taking it and outflanking our positions in norway. Small German mountain units failed to land in finland.
In August a massive offensive got under what to flank kharkov, unfornatualy right as I launched my attack mud appeared, worst of luck. So that stalled the offensive for a few more weeks. The offensive soon got under way and the plan was to encircle the forces in kharkov or force them to pull out. The offesnive owuld then drive north trying to out run soviet infantry armies and destroy them. Soviet armoured divisions were badly mauled, we lost orge but the soviet divisions lost alot of strength, alot at 50%. The is offensive was combined with a new army assembled south of smomlsk. Just as Soviet forces were exhausted and there main armies drawn further south this army struck and although the fighting was tough broke through the soviet river line and headed for klintsky. The two armies soon linked up and moved to the provinces of Kaluga and Tula. This was the limit of the German advance as the org has run out and infantry forces need to catch up.
Reports are sketchy from the front line, but Hitler has confirmed reports of 18 divisions destroyed and other possibles include an army of 27 divisions that were trapped but what happened to them is unknown at this point, a further 18 divisions were also surrounded but there fate is still not know. Some where between 18-50 divisions were destroyed. Perhaps the Soviet player can give more details although hes being secretive at this point, we only leads me to guess the losses were far greater then he expected.
For the Axis losses to mainpower have been minial as only a few battle really drained the infantry. Most of the battles were fought with Amour/Mech/motoried. It was a very fluid series of massive battles with move and counter move. The Axis superior mobile forces, not only armour but large numbers of motorised and mech helped to out run and flank soviet infantry armies.
Was extremely fun, even if I am playing when my head feels like it will explode, I was pretty crook tonight. Good play mighty, you will surive to 42, maybe.
As for other news Japan joined the war and the US joined the allies.
Next session is wednesday 7pm, hopefully.

Empire of the Rising Sun.
The Rise and Fall of our Empire is at Hand.
Fearing being drawn into the war against the Belligerent British Commonwealth, large numbers of Destroyer sqaudrons were sent on menuvre's through out the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The main Objective was to obtain intelligence on British troop concentrations and her allies. It was also noted that America was massing troops and naval forces at they're bases on Wake Island.
Plans were formulated to make pre-emptive strikes on both the British positions in India, Singapore and Pakistan along with plans of massive aerial and naval actions around Wake Island in order to smash the American naval presence there. The Dutch East Indies were seized and annexed within 4 days of being in the war, along with the British colonies of Hong Kong and the Portugese colony of Macao. Singapore fell as quickly as the Dutch East Indies and the battle of Wake Island began with some 15-20 U.S. submarine sqaudrons being completely shattered and sunk.
British positions still hold firm in the Jungles and Mountains of Burma and Pakistan under a constant wave of air cover, but Tojo is most certain that that will change very soon... SE.
P.S. Spoke to Mighty G at work today. He has some errands to run when he get's home tonight. So if we are playing then he most likely won't be here until 7.30 - 8pm. SE.

Germany unstopable on Eastern Front.
Situation Report November 1941.
After the previous battles a few weeks was needed to reorganise, rearm, refuel and make repairs. The rapid advance had tacken its toll.
This gave the High command time to consider its options. There were two main choices. The bulk of German forces were positioned two provinces to the south of moscow with the bulk of Soviet armour protecting moscow. In the centre lay alot of soviet infantry armies with no armour seen in that sector so far, nor in the far south were forces were light.
The Italian duce was pushing for an attack to encircle moscow to bring about a strategic gain for this year. How ever the fuher had his doubts. He would be attacking where the Soviets had there main strength, moving into land not friendly for tanks, and the soviet armies would just retreat into moscow making over running them impossible and expose our flanks to counter attacks while we attempted to encircle moscow.
Hitler ordered preperations be made to attack the centre as the main focus of our attack for the winter. Hitler explained to an angry Duce that my attacking the centre and perhaps destroying some armies there we can out flank the entire southern front giving us stalingrad and then entire cacuses befor winter. The Duce agreed.
Preperations were complete by late September. Although the Panzers were not at full org there was no more time to wait as winter was fast approaching. The first part of the attack and the major componet was the attack on Lipetsk. Once these forces were through they split there force one arm moving to Tambov then Borisglebsk other to Ryazan. The panzers plotted on blitz manovers with mech and motorised folling close behind. All up over 100 fast moving divisions would be involved. Infantry armies were positioned in Tula to assit the break through. Large Axis armies were also assemebled further south to prevent a Soviet counter attack to try and cut our supply lines off as we advanced.
The inital attack on Lipetsk was a success with the Panzers rapidly busting through to there next objectives. An unseen army in Ryazan was fought and it too was forced to retreat, Panzers were soon plotted to blitz and over run that army. The force pushing to Tambov were engaged once they arrived by frantic Soviet infantry armies trying to escape the rapidly forming pocket. The Attack out of the south into Pavlosk as part of the 2nd arm of the encirclement also made rapid progress and the pocket was soon closed.
A soviet attempt to counter attack from the north with his tanks pushed out army out of tula and he advanced with an attempt to try and break out his forces to the south and at the same time cut our supply lines, although a rout was also estableshed to the south via Pavlosk so it was never a real threat. The soviets soon found a large infantry army in Brynask of some 60 divisions was waiting as a reserve which counter attacked. However the Soviet army had no exposed himself probably not realising the strength of Axis forces further south covering the rear.
The German amries in Ryazan were no perfectly positioned to cut off the Soviet Tank armies by attacking Noginsk where only 10 divisions defended. The German pznaers pushed the aside and race to cut of the Soviet tank armies. Luckily for the Soviets they arrive mere hours in front of the panzers other wise it would have been the end of the war for the Soviets. With the soviet counter attack dealt with all Panzers were now rapidly over running every soviet infantry army they could see. Panzers blitzed in all directions.
It soon became clear as Soviet armies disappeared from the map that the entire centreal front had brocken with massive loss of forces for the USSR. It was at this time Hitler noticed all soviet forces in all sectors were moving from the front lines. Intel reports learnt that the Soviet high command had decided to pull out of western russia after there massive losses and head for the Urals. This was soon confirmed and Axis forces over ran all of western Russia, annexing finland in time. Moscow, leningrad, Stalingrad all fell to Axis forces.
The 1941 offensive has been a complete and utter success. It was learnt that in the last few months the USSR has lost over 140+ infantry divisions to our fast moving armies. There was no hope of the USSR now holding such a big front.
1942 will dawn with the new front lines positioned nearly in Asia. German panzers commanders send reports from the front of seeing large moutains in the distance, that can only be the Urals.
Never has Germany been so succesful in 1941 since ive played them, finaly hitler has done what he planed to do, take all of western Russia befor winter 1941. Hitler salutes his brave fighting men and sends his congratualtions to El Duce and other minor axis powers. A great victory has been gained, not a complete victory but hitler is confident that the USSR will now pose far less of a threat and lack the power to retake its lands.
Hitler now turns his eyes west to organise the defences and assemble new armies as im sure the Americas now reliase that they must move against us. With the USSR savagely beaten, they will also know we will be waiting for them.
Good session. When we playing again, perhaps this after noon. Like 5pm or something.
