Wow, nice job rolling over Italy! I love that amphibious assault equipment the soldier was wearing, is the snorkel and fish bayonet a special tech? 
Wolfhound said:BTW this turn of events really turned me mad...
First, I conquer Madagascar. BAM, it goes to Free French.
So I land in Persia and try to grab some land. BAM, Persia is in Allies.
Third attempt - Iraq. Well, 1st mistake - Landing in Kuwait means that Kuwait goes back to the UK. Argh! And then, again... Iraq joins Allies.
No land for you, mr. Australian!
Rather a thankless task, Wolfhound. Being an Aussie Digger, that is. Sadly, it continues today, even in Iraq... but that's politics, which I'm happy to avoid here.
I must say, this is one of the best AARs I've ever read, and certainly is the most entertaining. Dare I say, it's a fantastic piece of black Czech humour, somewhat reminiscent of some films I've seen by a certain Jiři Menzel?
At least, if he was an animator, I'd imagine his films would've turned out a bit like your work.
Hurray for the Aussie conquerers! Italy is.... well putting up an Italian defense. Soon you'll find yourself with a lot of IC hopefully... unless there's some event I forgot.
Anyway You CAN annex Vichy Vichy French as lnog as you stay away from Paris!

I gave some use to the submarine techs I got from my allies

Hard to judge from the inside
. But yes, black humour is my favourite and Czechs are generally good in this branch. Ladislav said:
Which troops? My manpower hit the bottom, I am glad I have some reserves to cover the combat losses :-(

Just discovered it from a link in the francophone forum. Great, great drawings. and a nice conquest too. I was thinking, with the real war history, you could create a whole book for children. You have the level for that.
I am glad we were told this AAR existed in the French forum. I generally do not read AAR anymore by lack of time but yours is short and funny to read . I will stay tuned.
Good work !

This is great I love it. I love the pictures, they are very funny. I would love to see them animated, it would make a killer cartoon. In my mind though, they would never say anything, just kinda mumble in a funny, kinda like the Mr. Bogus cartoon (dont know if anyone is familar with him?). Disney better watch his ass, there is a new man in town.
I re-read this and one thing still makes me laugh so much, and it has nothing to do with the pics. Its the line written by a frustrated wolfhound
"No land for you Mr. Australian"
I dont why but this makes me laugh so hard, I have been chuckeling about this for the last few days, and it still makes me laugh when i read it out loud. :rofl:

Part XVI - A price too high
1st Mar 1945 - We spent the winter in Northern Italy, holding our new positions. Bad weather prevented both sides from attacking.
21st Mar 1945 - Four mountain divisions landed in Albania; On 14th they captured Tirana and moved on.
The picture shows Australian 105 mm howitzer supporting the first assault on Vlore.
26th Mar 1945 - It took five days of heavy fighting, but the Italian military presence in Albania is gone.
Amongst the 18,000 casualties was Major General Edmund F. Herring, KCMG, KBE, CBE, DSO, MC, commander of the 3rd Mountain division.
24th May 1945 - In desperate attempt, Italians attacked our positions near Verona. We were able to beat them back with little trouble. The defence of the Adige river was the last time I have seen combat.
10th Jun 1945 - Australian counterattack routed retreating Italians. The very last Italian important city - Venice - was captured.
12th Jun 1945 - Italy oficially surrendered. The country was now run by Australian military administration.
The picture shows Benito Mussolini formally handing his sword over to Field Marshall sir Thomas Blamey.
15th Jun 1945 - A disaster struck Venice - two motorized divisions were totally annihilated by German airstrikes. After the Italian surrender, Australia felt the wrath of Luftwaffe.
Our fighters were swept out of the skies and hundreds and hundreds of Stukas butchered the ground forces. The 4th (Mot.) and 5th (Mot.) Divisions were lost and never replaced.
We evacuated Venice and it was captured by Germans a few days later.
The fight for Italy is over. They resisted for only 14 months, killing 11,940 Australians and wounding another 22,000. Unfortunately, German bombers managed to add another 20,000 casualties to the count.

DAMN! The German Air Power is strong, killing 20K soldiers. I am guessing the Germans could not penetrate the mountain terrain after that.
