Wow the Soviet army looks really weak. Should be a walk in the park. How many units do you estimate are defending the British Island's?

The Soviet army is pread evenly across all of russia. More to the east, bordering my Japanese allies. Com China is axis aswell. xD Japan gave them their lands in China that they got when Nat China surrendered.

No, Still good old Göring. I'll wait for either an event of him going liberal on his wievs, or dying from some other random reason.

Likw i said, statistics update coming soon, but first, must blow off steam for losing 30 minutes of posting material. I think Doom is a great game for that.

Knock knock knocking on Stalin's door!

The road of the wehrmacht had been full of bloodshed, not the least because all of her enemies had been a pushover until now. The Russians were no different int he fact that for each Wehrmacht soldier they managed to kill, 20 of theirs would die too.


The Russians however had one thing different. They would keep on coming no matter how many of them would die in battle. Both the German and allied leaders realized however, that this would not last forever. The mighty Soviet army of over 500 divisions had been reduced by almost 200, although the Soviets would continue to build more, they would not be able to keep up with the losses for much longer, as their industrial and population rich zones in the European side had almost completely been run over.

Now, as the month of July of 1943 was coming to an end, the news of the fall of Moscow, Britain and Iceland was reaching every corner of the world.

The British Royal family who had retreated to Canada, and contrary to Stalin's words, he himself had retreated further into the Siberian wastes, and with the loss of so many allied warships, the allies and Soviets were beginning to realize that they would not win the war.

Also, many of the previously neutral countries of Europe had joined the war in Germany's side, such as Hungary, Bulgaria, Italy and lastly Portugal, it looked certain that Europe would be german controlled for the next few decades atleast.

Reichstag July 30. 1943.

Göring: Zoo ze var is going az ve planned?

Rommel: Ja, ve have ze Soviet capital moskau, all of Britain except for a fev small nordern islands, and even zey are cut off from any re-inforcements, and ve vill bomb their supply ships soon too.

Raeder: Our navy is taking part in ze luftwaffe operation to bomben all ze British fleets at Gibraltar, but with not much success. Ve risk losing much of our fleet if ve go head on against their main fleets. Ve have great ships yes, but ve have not enough of zem!

Göring: Good to hear zat, and yes, i have zought of zat too. I ordered 10 nev super heavy battleships and 8 advanced air carriers to be built. Zey should be completed sometime next year.

Raeder: Ah zehr gut. I vas hoping you had seen ze light as zey say.

Göring: Vell, if zat is all, i vould like to hear some statistics of ze war now. How have ve impacted ze allies ability to make var on us?


f_armycomparim_d8d791f.png



Rommel: Vell, as you can zee from ziz chart, ze Zooviet forces have been beaten back quite nicely. Our estimates put their losses somewhere between 150 to 200 divisions and zeir navy and airforce is worse zan pathetic.

Raeder: Ze Kriegsmarine has excelled in nearly every battle, with minimal casualties. Although we lost Ze battlecruisers Scharnhorst und Gneisenau, und Ze carrier Graf Zeppelin, our losses hav e been minimal.

What, you actually managed to land in the UK without any paratroopers and marines... did they leave their beaches defenceless or something? ...But Britain and almost USSR taken care of in -43... that's pretty good. :)

Maybe Göring will decide to invade North America soon?

I landed in Norwich with a few divisions. It was defended only by one garrison division.

The Americans landed on the west, and later into Edinburgh, cut my troops in 3 parts, but luckily i could land some troops in Dover and it was all over for them. With the allied naval bases gone, taking Iceland was child's play. No more bombs falling into europe, and Russia is half baked. I even took half of that half during the winter of 1942-1943, because there was that few troops opposing.

North America is inconsequental, now that they have no way for them to send anything to Europe.

When i'm done with the allies, it's time to take care of all the neutrals. They are not with me, so they are against me. After that.. Well, what am i going to do with my allies once i have no further use for them?

HQs are no use to me... Crap offensive capabilities, and takes more IC to build than 2 inf divisions.

HQs aren't meant to be used in combat. The main purpose of HQs is, that they double the command limit in surrounding provinces, so you don't get the over command max-penalty (-75%?). They also increase org. regain...

So if you are attacking 30 Soviet divisions from one province with a field marshal and an HQ... you can command 24 divisions without the penalty. Defeating them without an HQ (only 12 divisions without the penalty), might be quite hard.

I dont do that, since there are no more than 20 soviet divisions at any given province anywhere. In southern Russia, there is an area of roughly 3 provinces with no soviet divisions at all. And the others in the southern front are nowhere larger than 9 in one place.

It's pretty astonishing. I could easily stop advancing everywhere else, and divert most of my forces to the south, and encircle the _ENTIRE Soviet western army with a massive attack from the south. If you put all the Soviet divisions you start in the 1936 scenario with, they would equal to more than what the Soviets have in the west now.

I think i'll get more pleasure from torturing SU to defeat slowly.


Göring: Ja.. Zat iz a most zplendid idea! Kill zem all in my name.

The Soviets have 376 divisions, so that must mean that more than a half of their forces are in the east. If they have 20 divisions in a province max, then you won't need HQ:s. Are the Soviets at war with the Japanese? Or is the AI just so stupid, that still in -43 it keeps most of the army somewhere in Siberia? :D
