Yes! The Reich is reduced to a footnote in the history books.

Virgiltchicken: ...Success! My troops arrive the next day and oversee the official surrender of all Nazi units and territory...
splendid! !
Virgiltchicken: ...As no effective Hungarian defense has been encountered, victory appears to be only a matter of time.
and, more splendid! ! :rofl:
perhaps the Hungarians decided to DOW you so you would annex them, [ ] instead of the Soviets? ? [ ]
OH, will you be able to surround and pocket the Soviets that are attacking Krakow? ?
( perhaps, from Königsberg? ? )
splendid! !

I like what you have done, I read it through and it seems that you have a sound tactical and strategic base for your maneuvers.
Deus:
Thanks, I try to look like I know what I'm doing anyway.
GhostWriter:
My only guess as to why Hungary and Bulgaria joined the Axis is to get German help against the Soviets. Too bad for them Nazi Germany with only three provinces and had a 15 division army (speculation) at the time.
As to the formation of pockets, it's very tricky. My units are mainly infantry and many have artillery brigades. This makes for a very slow army, and therein lies the difficulty. It's hard to pocket a force in the open unless you have a maneuverability advantage. Also, the Soviets vastly outnumber me, so don't expect any huge pockets of 30+ divisions. I simply can't contain those kind of forces.
GrimReaper:
Yes, that one. Now let's never speak of it again.
Duke of Wellington:
Yeah, it is a rather bad move on their part. To be fair, however, I didn't really have any troops on the border. Not in a position to permanently advance anyway. Also, if it had happened a week latter, I would have been involved in Italy and probably have deployed my new divisions elsewhere. I still would have beaten them, but it would have taken longer and been much more disruptive than it is. Bad luck for them!
lifeless:
After this thing is over, I believe a name change will be in order for Czechoslovakia. After all, we'll control Hungarians, and Austrians as well as the usual Czechs and Slovaks.
stnylan:
This may be true, but I think I will actually have to worry about Romania less. They will have a total of four border provinces while I only have two. Thus, I can concentrate my forces while they have to spread theirs out. This could be bad if they attack, but the French are also advancing well in Yugoslavia. Hopefully they can exert some pressure as well.
OAM:
The map was for the Soviet Union, so they and their allies will be green and the nations that they are at war with will be red. As you can see, they are at war with the Allies and the Axis (Italy, Greece, Hungary, Bulgaria, Spain, Portugal, and, at the time, Nazi Germany).
Sorry for any confusion.
GeneralHannible:
Yes, better to worry about the Reds than two bit fascists.

What would you say to Czechungoslovaustria? I'm not sure if it's any better, but both names just roll of the tongue.
Yoy21:
Well, we don't really have an Emperor. We're an autonomous collective.
If I named it your second suggestion, think of the ramifications. Children would grow up, not be able to spell the name of their own country and abandon trying to spell anything. Next thing you know, we're the laughing stock of every spelling bee across the world! National pride would be impossible to generate and the entire country would fall apart in arguments on the proper spelling of not only our name, but everything! We'd be ruined!

It wouldn't be a problem if you owned the world
I think you should still rename it the Balkan Union, or something. How about CzechoslovakiaustrihungarserbiacroatiamontenegroLjublijania
(Czechoslovakia, Austria, Hungary, Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro, and Ljublijana, I forgot to add Slovenia and Trento.)
A Polish attack is organized by Czechoslovakian advisers to further decrease the pressure on the besieged city of Krakow. Soviet forces look to be thinning as the front enlarges and it is hoped that Polish numbers, attacking from two fronts, will be sufficient to liberate Prezemysl.
The attack meets with success, and it is decided to attack the Soviets on other fronts as well. A rough plan is formed to attempt an encirclement around Warsaw, though the planners are unsure how to hold the large area that will result from this series of attacks. Meanwhile, the Poles have arrived in Prezemysl and start to secure the province.
Meanwhile, the war against the Axis continues as Czechoslovakian forces reclaim Bratislava and consolidate their positions in the Hungarian province of Gyor. The next series of attacks begins with a French victory against weak opposition in Miskolc. Taking this as a good sign, Czechoslovakian forces attack Budapest across a large front. The outnumbered defenders quickly break under the pressure and retreat to the south.
Our troops get no rest, however, as the forces in Gyor are ordered to attack Pecs as soon as they have recovered from supporting the push on Budapest.
This victory sees the majority of the Hungarian Army in flight and is a major morale booster to both the troops and the general populace. Especially effective after the initial panic of the Hungarian DOW.
The Soviet front is not so encouraging, however. Though opportunities exist with the annexation of Nazi Germany
they are significant risks for relatively small gains. Additionally, the advance in the central front around Radom has been halted by the sighting of large concentrations of enemy troops in the region.
Yet, hope remains strong. We have completely defeated the Nazis, and Hungary seems to be on the verge of collapse. Additionally, the British have informed us of their second major offensive action: the invasion of Nationalist Spain*
This, coming on the heels of news that the French have occupied Barcelona, does not bode well for the tattered remnants of the Axis. Unfortunately, there are still the Soviets and the Yugoslavian/Romanian alliance to deal with, and the brunt of that fighting looks to be on Czechoslovakian shoulders.
*The first being the advance across Italian Libya

Great, the tide starts to turn. What will you do after destroying Hungary? Go after more minors or give SU a bloody nose?
I'd say keep striking at the Soviet Union while the iron is hot. They'll only get stronger with time, and if you do manage to snip off various divisions here and there, so much the better.
Hmm, given that the USSR was not at war with Germany (unless I'm forgetting something) will the moving industry events fire? If not Russia could be weakened alot easier that normal.

How did you manage to get Poland it's provinces back from France?
Nice to see your ally getting bigger to be able to help more. Hopefully you can encircle a few of those Soviet divisions.

flak 88:
Yeah, more pale yellow is definitely preferable. I'm sure I'll get some encirclements somewhere. If not, I don't like our chances.
As to the Polish provinces, see my reply to lifeless.
stnylan:
I tend to agree with that strategy. It is basically the same argument I used to pursue the war against Germany: go after the biggest threat first, as they will only grow in power relative to me as time goes on. Hopefully my allies can help deal with the others, if only to keep them out of Czechoslovakia proper.
Actually, the U.S.S.R. was at war with Nazi Germany, though for only a brief time. They were at war with Bulgaria and Hungary, then those countries joined the axis, putting the Nazis and the Soviets at each others throats. I have no idea if the move industry events fired, or if they will now that Nazi Germany is no more.
lifeless:
Yep, after the annexation of Nazi Germany those provinces went back to their rightful owners.
GrimReaper:
It's hard to say, really. I will probably focus on the Soviet Union, as they are the 500 pound gorilla in the room. Yet, I'm not adverse to taking Romania/Bulgaria/Italy if an opportunity presents itself.
Yoy21:
Yes, some sort of Union does seem in order. Czechungoslovaustria is a tad silly.
Well, I will hopefully get another update out tonight or early tomorrow. This will be the last update until late Monday at least, as I am leaving town to celebrate the long holiday weekend (Monday is Memorial Day here in the states and I get the day off).

wow, very good AAR!
i got inspired by that AAR a couple of days ago and tried it myself (czechs, 1938, normal\normal)... couldn't pull it off
the germand declared just like they did on u, i tried an offensive in austria and failed, falted for the winter, then in the spring they rolled over my forts (apperenately, now when u bomb forces inside forts, the forts get damaged) in sudetenland
