Oh ive been reading all that youve written and its extreamly enjoyable, one thing i do ask a question about is, have you ever thaught about using the Atomic Bomb :D i mean so many Soviet devisions in some palces alot could be wiped out pending if province isnt that valuable that thier in, meaning you could decimate multipule devisions and break threw, but i dont know how far your tech is on that side hehehe, or have you got some thing planed along that side.

Great Job to encircle the russians over and over again. But why did you wrecked all your Submarines? I sended them to Russia and they had good succeses in crippling the Russian Fleets.

@SecondReich: If this had really happened, the first A-Bombs would had exploded on German territory and it had be much more innocent casaulties and we all can thank god that Germany don`t won the war.
I readed some Books about the Air-Terror, the War-Crimes and the plans of the Nazis after winning the War.
Read >Jörg Friedrich< "Der Brand" and >Ralph Giordano< "Wenn Hitler den Krieg gewonnen hätte" and >Sebastian Haffner< "Anmerkungen zu Hitler"


The 6 Million "Enemys" of the 3. Reich would only the beginning.

The "Generalplan Ost" or GPO describes the vision of a slav free Eastern Europe, the non-jewish, the other Holocaust.


Edit: I deleted a 9 and a half line long part cause it would just start a discussion about Crimes of the Nations in History.

Edit 2: Does anyone else have the problem that it says that you`re not logged in but you are logged and if you again log in it says that you wanted to answer a invalid thread?

That happens to me sometimes from my home computer, which uses dial-up. I think that is the reason... it never happens from my work computer.

Exterous: Great job on the encirclement at Odessa. I have a good feeling about your chances of success on the eastern front. Hopefully you will pick up some momentum and really make some gains next spring. Just remember that the further you move east, the worse the terrain and infrastructure get.

-A large formation of German fighters and interceptors were flying over the English Channel. It was a clear, sunny day and the American interceptors above the Germans planned to make full use of the sun to pounce on the Germans. They started their attack run from above the Germans.

Unfortunately, one of the pilots must have seen them as the formation broke apart as the Germans darted away in their faster, more maneuverable aircraft. The Americans decided to press the attack. Moments into the engagement, a new flight of German jet fighters swept in from even higher than the American flight and made a devastating high speed pass, in formation, that the Americans could not hope to deal with. In seconds, several American fighters were tumbling towards the sea in flames. The order was given and the 4th US Fighter Wing made its way back to their airbase at all possible speed, demoralized and disorganized.

In the wake of a disastrous summer for Russia, Stalin decided to show the Germans not to count them out just yet. Not only did he have 150 more ICs to spend on stuff he had more units as well. The next several weeks were spent with attacks and counter-attacks, forcing the German army into near constant action.

screensave134tv5.png

screensave136fv0.png


Japan continues to fair poorly, down to a measly 16 ICs. The Pacific is turning an ugly shade of blue.

HateThemCommies: 62

lifeless: Thanks!

General Jac: Now now, not all of them. If I do that who will work in the factories when I am done?

anonymous4401: Are you sensing a pattern yet?

Rapcw: Glad to know you like the performance and a little extra luck never hurts

german general: Too many but the situation is better - they usually only have about 5-8 more divisions per province than I do. If oil wasn't such a big problem I would be going on a general offensive
FYI *SPOILER ALERT*

When I do later, oil proves to be a HUGE hinderance to my attacks. (I don't think I can impress how huge it is. With org constantly decreasing while moving and a general inability to reorganize due to lack of oil my later advance took about 3x as long as it should have)

KonigMaximilian: I have. Its a nice to reduce the uber stacks of units the Allies like to use - however, it represents a huge investment in technology, nuclear reactors and a plane or two. I'll get to it, but the 50 IC reactors (which is 1/7 of my total ICs and about 1/4 to 1/3 of my production ICs) are took expensive. Any spare ICs will be used for ship building first - but thats a bit in the future

SecondReich: Especially the Russians. Stalin was mad enough that the Allies took so long with the Normandy invasion - to see it fail, then the Italian invasion fail, then his army starting to disintegrate because of it.....

Panzer6: Glad you approve! Actually my goal is not zero armies for Russia for certain reasons that will not become clear for a while

Karabiner 98K: Subs use oil! And I really don't care much about the Russian fleet since there's really nothing they can do to bother me. As for A-bombs on Germany, well, they'd have to get through my fighter screen first and I don't think they'd want to risk that. Thanks for deleting that line-I don't need my ARR turned into a discussion that might get it closed :D

Ironhead 5: Yes, and my TC will get worse and worse and worse......

Oh and AEP, the picture of the E-50 is just a different picture of a Panther tank...sorry

Ah, I suspected as much... Its not the 'real' E-50 (of which no completed model was ever produced) but it could be a picture of a Panther II... Only one example was ever completed. Or just a regular Panther :(
Thanks for checking! Much appreciated! :)

And now on with the battle at hand!

Attention was drawn back to the Russian front as the forces in Rowne suffered a severe defeat.

screensave137dv5.png


Additional trades were made with Allies to secure much needed rare materials. Finland continues to be a big supplier of these crucial resources. The drain is not critical but it would widen the production gap between Russia and Germany should the supply dry-up.

The Soviet counter-offensive continued with an assault on Pinsk

screensave140qo5.png


The Germans were only able to hold out for so long against much larger numbers of Russian troops, but what else is new?

In an answer to that question, the Russians defeat the forces in Vinnista. The recent string of German victories has turned about completely.

screensave142nh0.png


The Soviets are making use of their numerical advantage to shove more troops at the Germans while the German army is recouping from the earlier summer offensive.

Also, in September the British land a small force in Dubrovnick. Two German divisions, an infantry and a mechanized, and 4 Croatian divisions move to contain the 'annoyance'. This will be the first time the Slovakian units are used (or even moved) in this war.

screensave144wz3.png


In Russia, Moglilevi is abandoned in order to shorten the lines and allow greater strength to face off against the Russian counter-offensive.

screensave145vw1.png


British forces advance more quickly into old Yugoslavia and force a German retreat.

September is turning out to be a busy month as German forces have to respond to the Soviet offensive. Once again the fighting was to be over the marshy wastelands of Pinsk. German forces move to close the gap in the defensive lines. Victory is had, but at a cost. The 54 Russian divisions extract a toll on the 78 German attacking divisions.

screensave146pl8.png

screensave147mb5.png


Situations in Finland start to deteriorate as it is realized this offensive is not aimed at Germany alone. Several new armored and mechanized forces are due to become active in the next month and are earmarked for support in Finland. This should stem the tide of the Russian advance and ensure rare materials continue to reach Germany.

The Allies have other plans. As German and Croatian forces continue to make little headway in Yugoslavia, more Allied divisions arrive to exploit this weak spot. The remaining two Croatian divisions are pulled in despite the fact that the other 4 divisions are proving to be only slightly better than useless. Their 1939 equipment just can't stand up to the modern Allied equipment.

screensave148jf9.png


Brazilian, Venezuelan and two American join their British allies. The allies move rapidly and manage to defeat a Bulgarian division in Sofia and take the Bulgarian capital.

screensave149no2.png


Large units also land in southern Greece and temporarily tie up Axis forces in the South. While the landing is dealt with, the Allied Yugoslavian advance continues to go well for them

Hmmm, anyone else having any problems getting all of my screenshots to show up? Cause I am.

AEP: Paradox should have made their own full sized mock-up of a new German tank and taken pictures of it for this! :mad:

General Jac: yeah, he's getting mad at me and the allies

Well Paradox now has a 10 image cap on every post, if that is what you're talking about. Otherwise I don't know.

That's real bad news about the landings in the South. That's what lost me the scenario in my Germany game. If you don't crush the landings fast they will overwhelm you. Infact if it wasn't for the inherited Japanese divisions I received, I would have lost much quicker than I did. You may want to fall back to the defensive line in the East and take your armor off the line to defeat those landings. Good luck, it looks like you need it now.

Uh-oh. You really can't afford to let the Balkans be compromised, I don't think. The Allies are just going to keep dumping more and more divisions on those Greek and Yugoslavian beaches until you march in and drive them into the seas.

This is good stuff, please do keep it up.

P.S., I think those are Croatian armies, not Slovakian ones. :p
