17. Operation Barbarossa, part 3
9th June - 18th July

This update will be covering bigger period of time as major battles are already finished and no major operation was executed.



S3AiMVt.jpg


In the south it looks like another 2 pockets are forming. German marines and panzers are rushing towards closing the pockets. An estimate of 15 divisions will be trapped there.


TwidgpN.jpg



3 days after pockets are closed. Germans will hold pockets closed and Romanians will take care of shattering them as Germans forces present are big enough only to hold the pockets closed.


SVrfvxD.jpg


As expected Soviets launch counter-attacks with everything they've got to escape the pockets.


y6Ws5Ic.jpg


Minsk was captured by Germans and a plan comes to my mind...


V9fBi2E.jpg


Another 5 Soviet divisions are going to shatter in Deniskowicze as insufficient infrastructure in Salihorsk, Starobin and Luniniec is preventing their escape.


GfR4KRN.jpg


Meanwhile in the south Kiev has fallen in to the German hands. Level 9 airfield there becomes new operational base for German bombers.


raOCAEs.jpg


One of the south pockets has already collapsed and the other one is going to collapse soon as pressure from Romanians is significant.


rTdwiBB.jpg


Here's the plan which has come to my mind after capturing Minsk. Two pincers, one form Minsk and the other from north will cut off Soviets from retreat paths. Another 7 divisions are going to be overrun there.


VMVeBdE.jpg


Estonia has been purged out of Soviet resistance.


hIxmoUh.jpg


Only few Soviet divisions are standing between German panzers and Moscow.


ybMr7yZ.jpg


Important breakthrough in the fields of doctrines has been achieved.


YV0e8cf.jpg


After shattering 2nd souther pocket German marines has been ordered to cut off any Soviets present on Crimea.


79EtkSe.jpg


For long time there's been no naval battles between Kriegsmarine and Soviets. All three Soviet light cruisers are sunk.


HzSqFkm.jpg


Kriegsmarine was actually escorting transports carrying marines eager to assault Leningrad.


RVw1jF0.jpg


Leningrad quickly felt into German hands and another pocket is one step from forming. Estimate of 6-7 combat divisions and 3 guard divisions is going to be trapped there.


zfZFrLt.jpg


After Leningrad felt Finns were called into the fray to take as much of Soviet lands as they can. I've also noticed that they were aligning to Allies (United Kingdom) before Allies were destroyed and are still aligning with score over 15 to allies even when United Kingdom is not existing anymore.


0s8fHhC.jpg


Georgij Zhukov somehow managed to escape central pocket and is going to be trapped in another one.


e3FK7sL.jpg


Another few Soviet divisions are going to be trapped, this time between Finns and Germans.


Aau0nEA.jpg


Hello Moscow!


B78jW0h.jpg


Situation on front 18th July 1941. Front is almost cleared of Soviets and German tanks are freely rolling through Soviet Union. Bolsheviks defeat is just matter of time.

18. Operation Barbarossa, part 4
19th July - 2nd August

mcEsKXo.jpg


Assault of Moscow has already begun, 2 German light panzer divisions support by bombers started assault on the city.


ry67OTf.jpg


One Soviet motorized division managed to escape from forming pocket.


5MR1Ofa.jpg


Other Soviet divisions hadn't this luck and are trapped between Germans and Finns.


yWqTVEI.jpg


German rare supply has been drained off.


Brkuewg.jpg


Moscow has fallen and 8k supply of rares was seized by Germans.




After Moscow fell German tanks continued in rolling through defenseless Soviet motherland...

... till 2nd August.

9eartUL.jpg


Soviets realized that is lost and removed Stalin a offered bitter (for them) peace.


zQlXFTh.jpg


Shouldn't Hungarians be also rewarded by some land?



Operation Barbarossa was total success, especially initial operations as in first month majority of Red army was destroyed and the other month and half German tanks were allowed to roll through Soviet union without encountering any significant resistance.

What to do with Finland? They're completely in Allies corner of triangle and aligning towards allies. I am thinking about puppetting them or conquering them, or should I edit the save (I have no experience with this) to make them join Axis?

And another more important question: Now what?

They'll leave the faction if they no longer share common enemy with Germany. HPP mechanic, which makes perfect sense to be honest :)

Yeah, it sucks that Hungary doesn't get any land, at least from the former Soviet part of Poland.

I think you should edit the save as I think Finland aligning to the Allies at this time makes no bloody sense.

Also I love the aesthetically pleasing new borders of Romania! They are right where I thought an expanded Romania would look good.

What do you intend to build with your new IC?

Ok, I'll gather some info about save editing and I will put Finland into Axis.

What do you intend to build with your new IC?

Mostly marines and transports, lot of transports (I would like to have at least 5 fleets of 6 transports each) and marines filled to limit which game allows me. Then probably some reinforcement of Luftwaffe (some additional medium bombers would be nice). I am still spending considerable amount of IC on building necessary facilities for jet research and the bomb. Also, I am building airfields, ports, infra and coastal forts at some places that might be important in future. Some investment into Kriegsmarine is taking place as 4 battleships and 2 carriers are in the queue.

And when some IC will become free I will build ... tanks.

I'm telling you they'll auto-leave, unless you call them into your current wars. I'm sure you can edit out the alignment of Finland also, but I don't really know where...

Sounds like a plan. Who's left? I'd appreciate diplomatic screen of factions :)

Ah, I misunderstood you, my bad. So I will probably put them into Axis by pupetting them which will give me sweet Gulf of Finland modifier.

I forgot that you'd get that very nice modifier via puppeting them but not by simply having them in the axis (I think). Since they're about to betray you and keep thier gains anyways, perhaps you should launch an operation to bring them into the fold.

19. Finnish episode

After brief discussion here on forum, I've decided that instead of editing the save or some other things I will puppet Finland to bring them into Axis permanently.

VyemftM.jpg


The plan is following, as fast operation as possible while avoiding doing much harm to Finns. Tanks will ride from former Soviet lands in hurry to capture Finish victory points. Marines will be used in Helsinki and Tarmo. Blue line represents airborne assault. Goal is to win this war in a week.


siRal3m.jpg


Puppet war goal is used.


vimB9bd.jpg


Germans tanks, now most experienced forces that Earth has ever seen, are encountering almost zero resistance. Helsinki are left almost undefended and it looks like Finns don't know what hit them.


bLxvf7R.jpg


In six days Finland is broken and joins Axis next day as Germany puppet.


TDE9qZ3.jpg


An there comes sweet country modifier.


cUAgd5D.jpg


Did I something wrong?


8OnMK21.jpg


Amount of 90 ships in Kriegsmarine was reached so German Reich is now considered as superpower.


tzhlrzZ.jpg


Nearly full German leadership is devoted into research.


With exception of six day long war with Finland period of time after Barbarossa was calm and German forces were slowly redeploying for their new assignments and missions...
I am interested what are you guesses of next target(s).

A foothold in North America? Canada or Mexico?

I will probably invade Americas when da bomb is ready, although invasion on Cuba or Jamaica looks tempting.

Next targets are Turkey and Portugal, one of the last neutrals in Europe, I hope that with invasion in Turkey Bulgarian neutrality will drop low enough to join the Axis as at the moment they're aligned closely to Axis but stuck at 27% neutrality.

I was also thinking about DoWing Vichy France as operation Torch is in galaxy far far away.

Hello

providing you my battle plans before I am going to play.

XQPD3cS.jpg


Main axis of attack against Turkey will be from Caucasus. German infantry will strike from there. While Turks will be distracted by these multiple landings will occur to seize ports in Black sea. While the ports are secured tanks will be transported there from Sevastopol with Goal of subduing Ankara.

In Portugal German tanks will proceed to cut off Portuguese from Lisbon and forming two pockets in the process.
