Victory is still possible. You just need to make sure you don't lose your last transports. Once you capture Plymouth, you can ferry additional troops (presuming that you can encourage them on to ships) and make the very brief trip. Try to watch for British fleet movements and don't sail if there is a risk of interception.

Welcome, have you been reading Keitel's notes on the continued battle against Die Engländer? if not this is a very good guess :)

After this, you will not need a Navy for a few years. The small fleet that remains will use less supply and a new fleet can be built to invade the US! In the mean-time, it is the Army and Air-Force that will bring victory.

In case of success all enemy naval bases near the German coasts will be gone and a dangerous opponent will be crippled. The navies tasks will be much reduced and its targets also.
Currently I'm in contact with 3 divisions and some HQ's, the 3 army chiefs had expected a few more divs in southern England, but so far it looks good, even if the remaining transports got sunk the 9 divisions currently in England might be enough.

Well, you shall still overcome.
Just a few pockets, annihilating the hostile forces and the roads into the north and London lie open.
You have already the uppers hand since the English 'reserves' were in wrong positions even before the landing.

SailAAR, FlyAAR and PanzAAR
Spring time for X-AAR

PanzAAR: Is this the road to Londinium?

Training for victory parade

hermanntraining.jpg

The 2nd Führer is training for the victory parade he's gonna hold once the minor detail of occupying London is solved.
A statue of himself to replace Nelson on Trafalgar Square is already in production, Nelson will take the place of the garden zwerg in the southern garden at Carinhalle. The Jellicoe and Beatty fountains will be dedicated to two prominent German admiral, but Göring can't find any worthy right now!!!


The other victory parade

mussolinihorse.jpg

Mussolini during his planned victory parade in Cairo.
It will be a big problem beating that, riding an elephant might do it, or a chariot, a Viking boat would have been good, but there is no water on Trafalgar. Now to solve the Engländer question.


State of Robbery

raubstaat.jpg

All the English treasures that they have robbed around the world must be liberated, and given back to their owners, a fair part to the Reich as reward of course.


Ghost division moves north

rommeltriestoghost.png

The ghost division of the remarkable General Rommel tries to Stealth into Birmingham, but instead has to fight a short but victorious battle against. Despite having an advantage in the city, the British forces withdrew in good order. Rommel pushes north, barely followed by von Mansteins infantry who has taken the train in this nearly undamaged countryside, Vth Panzer corps motorized infantry is in pursuit far behind as they had to wait for the 3rd run of the Plymouth suicide express over the channel. Fessman's panzers from the 4th run is still further behind, and the rest of his troops are still waiting for transportation.

Finally Vergeltung

revengeforfleet.png

Luftwaffe sends this nice areal foto of some very damaged ships still in Dover, Kesselring will show them the Hammer!!!
Earlier sorties have flattened the anti-air guns and damaged the wharfs.


Sobe shouldn't have drunk so much Madeira

bootonmadeira.png

That was very Noble of the British admiral to let Sobe think he would get away, when a 2nd carrier the Illustrious closed in from behind and finished him off, Sobe will now be forever preserved in Madeira. Sobe leaves behind him 57 sinkings.


The battle of the Channel is over

battleofcoastover.png

Now begins the true battle of Britain. The troops in Portsmouth tries to retreat to Newport, but Heilingbrunner cuts them off.


To find an army

invasiongoingon.png

Rommel is nearing Sheffield and still no sign of the British mass army known as the home army, have they withdrawn to the mountainous regions in the north to fight a last battle?
Soon Blaskowitz's West Preusishe Arme will have surrounded London and he will personally lead the attack, the 2nd Führer thinks he will not attack too hard and that Blaskowitz is to soft on the civilians.


A sight for sore eyes

sadremnants.png

The Kriegsmarine has scarified itself for the victory, the last L-TP of the 3 sank shortly after Manstein had left it, that man has all the luck in the world. Maybe they would have seen the enemy earlier if that radar had finished earlier.


Pride of the fleet

theheroship.png

Sadly no Battleship or Carrier sunk, only a pocketbattleship "the Repulse" and a lot of small fish.


Let the commies and imperialists fight

nicek.png

Mao blows to counter offensive after receiving reinforcement from a surge of nationalism earlier.


China news

chinanow.png

After the surge the front has stabilized, or is it the flooding that makes this happen.
General Li Songren (the laughing general) of the Guangxi has soundly defeated the Japanese and Siamese armies, as allies of the Nationalists his armies will be of large value if we can convince the Kuomintang to join the Axis, they will be perfectly posed to attack India and Malaya.


Rotory thing

helicopter.png

A new type of flying machine the 2nd Führer must have it!


Victory at Trafalgar

londonringel.png

Ringel's 10th Infantry(mot) first enter Trafalgar square, all participants will get the London cuff.
Göring flies over and holds a parade giving all commanders a medal for their participation, before dispatching them to the empty battlefields north of the metropolis.


A very fair battle

eugen080840.png

If you ask the british, 3 battleships against a heavy cruiser, the finish is predictable, Prinz Eugen is lost will all hands.


The British new agency reports

atlantisgohome.png

German pirate ship blown up, the Atlantis sinks to it name sake, only a handful of survivors, a bad month for the Kriegsmarine, a very bad month.


Finally the gun

assault.png

That should have brought us victory against the Maginot line is finished, maybe it can be used for the Molotov line instead.


Panzers to the rescue

spainadmit.png

Vth Panzer storms toward northern Scotland after taking the 2nd British capital Glasgow, have the British Dragon troops gathered in Scapa flow or is it a phantom army?
Spain is so impressed by our invincible armies that they finally relent and join us, as preparation for their DoW on the Allies we send 500 planes south to support them, it is certain that after a few days Gibraltar will falls to the Axis, onward brave Italy take Suez and its the end of the British and their 3rd capital at Romani near Suez.


Oh Vienna

viennaii.png

Because the first meeting there was so successful we repeat it in Vienna II, Hungary and Bulgaria gets their rightful lands back.


Nail in the coffin

spainwar.png

Finally after 400 years Gibraltar will be Spanish again, less than a week later the last garrison surrenders. The 2nd Führer sends Generalissimo Franco some Spanish treasures liberated from British museum as thanks.

Unbroken

britishcontfight.png

The British has lost touch with reality. They still got their massive manpower potential in India but all production capacity is lost, madness!
And so ends a very disappointing fight, winner Germany due to no-show from Britain.


Kremlin

stalinpointyfinger.jpg

Stalin: Its your fault, you said they would be fighting for years.
Molotov: Comrade Stalin!
Stalin: And you too
Beria: Comrade Stalin!
Stalin: And not to forget you
Tim: I build a nice line of forts against this possibility.
Stalin: Well as its Molotovs fault, don't call it Molotov line, he already got the cocktail named after him.
Beria: How about the Stalin line
Tim: Already used.
Beria: The B..
Tim: You were saying?
Molotov: Right I already got enough called after me, and it wouldn't be good if something called Stalin line fell.
Tim: It wont!!!
Molotov: We could call it Anti-Fascist Defence Wall.
Tim: I would have to extend it to the Black sea then.
Beria: (tries at bootlicking again) We could call it Iron wall, as Stalin is iron man!!!
Stalin: Does the wall reach the sky.
Tim: As long as it wont be called Tim's folly I don't care. We must call it whatever is the best propaganda name. Like Soviet Peace Wall.


ps.
A no show from the British, how unsporting, maybe they lost all in France.

impressive, even if the UK seemed to have few ground formations left, presume thats you done with this naval stuff for a while then?

Thanks, I wonder where they have left their ground units, Newfoundland perhaps?

There is still some targets where I will need the fleet, I want to go to Africa and speed things up for the Italians, the Iraqi oil is very tempting.

The far reaches of the empire is not realistic before I get some more navy.
India might have some 30-40 divisions and would need a whole army group.
The rest of the dominions are too far away yet, but knowing me I will keep going for bases that will close the distance eventually.
Unfortunately It looks like I would have to defeat all of the allies to get the empire to surrender, maybe I will have trouble at home before that!

Why not call it Trotsky-wall? :D

I would say that the last month was a triumph to Kriegsmarine.
Second time in history, a foreign army managed to land in England.
Excluding first and second Roman sojourns. :D

Sorry he has been declared an enemy of the proletariat.
What was the name of the Leningrad commissar who Stalin had murdered in secret and Later cried revenge at his grave? I could extend the hypocrisy by using that name.

Second time in history, a foreign army managed to land in England.

Raeder: Another victory like this and we have lost the war*

Aren't you forgetting the Angles, the Saxons and some axeswingers called Vikings? and maybe French (http://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/Wales-History/Fishguard.htm) and didn't bonny prince Charles invade also (last 2 wasn't in England but in UK).

I think Obstfelder landed near Hastings if I'm not mistaken :)



*Free after some dude who invade Italy and got a victory like that named after him :)

SailAAR, FlyAAR and PanzAAR
Spring time for X-AAR

FlyAAR: the Stalin blues


I just want a

spotofgreece.png

Spot of Greece.
Göring: Why wasn't I informed!
Rippentrop: I wasn't either!!!!
Göring: Its your duty to know such things.
Rippentrop: The Abwehr didn't report anything!
Canaris: We don't spy much on our friends.
Rippentrop: And that Count Ciano is incredible slippery.

Ciano and Rippentrop

vonribbontrop.jpg

Canaris: I doubt Mussolini would tell even Ciano about this.
Göring: How so, isn't he his son in law or something?
Canaris: Accoding to my sources in Commando Supremo, Mussolini called the General in Albania and told him to attack last night, without consulting the Commando Supremo and only announce the attack after the fact.
Göring: He finds himself another easy target, darn how am I do keep up with him this way?
Canaris: We could "help" him by taking Athens if they are too slow.
Göring: I'll talk it over with Brauchitsch!


Call the Police

moregrenadiere.png

These guys sure are expensive and the oil isn't cheap neither.


An oppertunity

gbpuppet.png

Rippentrop: We could split the UK up in the U and the K to weaken our enemies.
Göring: Why would I want to do that?
Rippentrop: The north Irish provinces are the claimed by the Irish if we free them they would guard our borders against Ireland and defuse Irish anger at us.
Göring: Aren't they catholic?
Rippentrop: A small majority is protestant, we give them the power, if we gave it to the catholics they would just join Ireland and we would go nowhere.
Göring: Good plan, give them a copy of our laws to rule after.


Ulster libre?

northirelandfree.png

Rippentrop: Good they hate each other so much that they will keep each other in check.


Our friends friends

siamfinished.png

Are making progress.


No Thermopylae

athenia.png

Unlike the Persians, Rommel comes by ship, the Brave men of the Kriegsmarine brings him here.


Seeing the might of the PanzAAR

rumaniajoinsaxis.png

Runamia finally joins the Axis


Fearing to be left out

hungaryforaxis.png

Hungary does the same.


British Special forces in London

britishspecinlondon.png

Maybe this was the plan, the Southern intervention force rails in to support the brave defenders of London, the OKW decides to send extra garrison forces to Britain in case more unpleasantries emerges from the Subway.


Ludendorf

ludendorf.png

We give him a state burial.


Is this the right time?

isthistherighttime.png

Hungary feels secure in their new alliance, not fearing their neighbours anymore.



Nice deal

nicedeal.png

Franco gets his coal for a fair price, the little Spanish children will not freeze this year thanks to uncle Göring.


Kremlin

stalinpointyfinger.jpg

Stalin: What is this!!!
Tim: It looks like the Hun and the Rom have joined the Fascists Comrade Stalin.
Stalin: Who's fault is that?
Molotov: (Its your fault man but I better say some political correct) We think its someone named Diday, a counter revolutionary.
Stalin: Beria, why isn't he dead yet, like Trotsky, and that was messy or should I say sloppy!
Beria: He is an elusive shadow, we are not even sure he is French!
Tim: Back to the Hun and Rom, what do we do, I already have filled every military district bordering up to them with an army corps.
Stalin: We could mobilize .. wait we already did.
Tim: Is there any production left for an expansion of the anti-Fascist Protection curtain?
Khrusjtjov: Nope the 5 year plan is already over budget.
Stalin: How can a plan economy be over budget???
Khrusjtjov: We use more than we produce, its very simple!
Tim: (Its good the old man keeps you and Budyonny, then he isn't the stupidest around) I need some more of that which we don't produce to extend the Kirov-Line.
Stalin: There will be no more, we will wait for the Fascists to make a mistake.



* A Trotsky death event would have been nice, sadly I forgot to make it.

Thanks, it shall henceforth be known as the Kirov-Line (Kirov was also a missile-battleship if I'm not mistaken).

You're also missing the Dutch bloke who managed to land in the south west some 15 days before he set sail from the Netherlands (a wee confusion with the calenders) in 1688 or there abouts

Was that the Orange revolution or something? British local history is not my strong side.

But all the same, successful invasions of the British isles are as seldom as western victorious wars against Russia, most loses have been to the east and south.

I did use a lot on Hungary, but all in vain as Slovakia got some provinces Hungary should have had and then they got angry at me!
Romania I didn't do anything with I think.


So, how many lines of defence the Soviet have?
Map, please. :D

Only 2 I think, Kirov and Stalin, might be some disused further back, I will try to find a map tonight.

PanzAAR - Soviet defence lines late 1940

Leningrad district

fortressleningradx.jpg

The formidable fortress complex Leningrad.
Our analysts believe it has 2 weak points and once Zelenogorsk is taken a break through to Lake Ladoga will split the Soviet front, the northern forts might not even be defended.


Baltic

balticlinesx.jpg

The northern most sector features 4 lines to break through, Kirov-line, Riga-Kaunas, Daugava-river with 2 forts and Stalin-line.
This sector really gives the Soviets great advantages as well as several points of attack, Memel must have at least 1 fort to hold, the 2 others already have 1. Any attack from Us must be to the south of the Riga-Kauna's line. Lida's river and bunker systems is also not nice to attack.


Central district

Featuring Kirov-Line stopping at the Slovak border and Stalin-line which the Soviets has neglected to extend fortifications to Ukraine.
Soviet attacks can come any where along the front, geography limits us to a single point of attack.
Our less strong allies against their unfortified Ukraine. Only Odessa and Sevastopol is fortified there.


Greek reinforcements

After Rommel takes Athens, another corps is send as reinforcement to Greece, will soon make contact with their Fascist brothers.


Grand Muff

Grand Mufti Al Husseini, asks Göring to liberate the middle east from British tyranny, the 2nd Führer can't neglect such a heartfelt plea, Ley supports the idea seeing himself swimming in a lake of oil.


Suez closed to British shipping

Where do you go now little English? Where can you hide your capital?
It is unknown how much of the British fleet is locked inside the Mediterranean on the remaining isles.


Singapore

The English capital Singapore, what a joke.


ps.
A rather short update, with a few front status pictures.

interesting to see your planning. Are you really that worried about the fort line, after all you pushed through the Maginot on a sea of bombs?

At the moment only stacks of 3 divisions are in position on the Soviet side, if a war starts they will be 6 or more in average.
When I pushed through the Maginot there were only 3 half strength units left, but that was after a month of bombing, will I have that luxury here?
Previous vanilla games has left me with a distaste for the Russia rivers, now some of them have forts too, despicable!
The good points is I got allies, Spain, Italy, Hungary, Romania, potentially Finland, more unsure on my Fascist neighbours Sweden and Netherlands.
Italy is doing well and we have no second front to worry about.

Maybe the Japs will take Singapore soon.

The problem with Leningrad is, they never manage to man those forts if you blitz well, or Finland is on your side.
And Stalin line never gets manned in my games, as I usually crush the entire red army in Kirov line.

A Japanese or Chinese dow still looks like its a year in the future.
I'm hoping they will man the Leningrad fortresses, else there is little reason to continue!
Has SF changed anything in depth of defence?, one of the promises in the dev diaries where that the AI would learn tactical withdrawal (dunno about strategic).
I had hope Diday would be "finished" with his epic upgrade but read that its still has a month to go so I could convert to SF, but both still need some time before patch.

.

If the Soviet AI picks 'withdraw' as a stance then yes, it'll pull back and try for multiple lines, on 'defend' I'm less sure it still does much other than a well stacked front line ...
