jim panse · December 10, 2003, 12:41

Nope, it´s Darius´ (Japan) turn

Darius871 · December 10, 2003, 14:31

Sorry, I'm getting the same bug here as in another game; when I click the file I get a browser with a pop-up ad's url, but no pop-up ad (and obviously no file).

sas · December 10, 2003, 18:34

Darius, i sent you the save by mail

sas · December 11, 2003, 04:20

btw, Russia moves after Britain, not Japan (Darius)

So it is Russias turn, not japans

jim panse · December 11, 2003, 10:09

Ok, lol

FiGu · December 12, 2003, 17:29

turn...

jim panse · December 14, 2003, 06:08

Guys, my production is again totally messed up. I just tried several times and it´s not working. What shall I do now? Could you, Darius, please try again?

sas · December 14, 2003, 06:36

Well, it's Darius turn before yours Jim. Perhaps he can start your round using Lazyciv, and post the save after that.

Darius871 · December 14, 2003, 07:37

As usual, the file doesn't work because Poly apparently sends you through an ad for all attachments now, and the function doesn't work for me.

Can someone email it?

Hell, I'd even consider moving the game to CDG so we don't have to do this every turn.

Oh btw:

Darius871 · December 19, 2003, 16:30

Stian, I think you sent me the British file...

Darius871 · December 22, 2003, 04:59

Japan and Germany link up in the Gulf of Aden!

A German destroyer and a Japanese transport tie together for a night of celebration.

Imperial marines cheer in triumph
on cliffs of the Yemeni coast, after
the fall of Aden.

Finally a glimmer of hope for the Axis powers; Japanese ships en route to Aden encountered a small German fleet in the Gulf of Aden and stopped for a night to swap German beer for Saki, and share war stories. The brotherhood of the sea truly transcends all nations. The next week, our task force (with boosted morale) captured the crucial port of Aden with ease.

In other news, Tashkent and Alma Ata bombed empty, San Salvador captured, and Karachi captured on schedule.

It is indeed looking bad for the allied forces

jim panse · December 23, 2003, 06:04

* Paris retaken, many USAAF Bomber shot down.

* Hamburg retaken, 2 British Batteships sunk by Ju-88s.

* Kuwait air-raided.

I would really like to know how you managed to sink two Veteran Battleships stacked on the same square

If you dont mind, how many Ju-88's did you loose?

Darius871 · December 23, 2003, 19:13

From some SP tests it seems one veteran Ju-88 squadron sinks a veteran battleship 20% of the time, and two squadrons succeed 100% of the time. However, the casualties report says no Ju-88's were lost in his turn. (just the facts)

jim panse · December 23, 2003, 19:53

I did not lose a single Ju-88, Stian, but the planes were heavily damaged but I thought even if I would lose one plane and damage your ships so much that I could sink them with a nearby Cruiser

sas · December 25, 2003, 06:45

Jim, there is no way you gonna convince me you managed to sink the ships without reloading. But since thats not considered cheating we continue the game...

Here is my report:

USA:

-Two Ju88's shot down west of Hamburg.
-Copenhagen bombed.

-Cherbourg, St. Nazaire and Bordeaux captured.

--Pearl Harbor bombed empty.

The battle for central america is allmost over!

-Panama City, Bogata, San Jose and San Salvador captured.

England:

-Attack on Rockhampton, killing a Marine.
-Aden attacked and burned to the ground.

The struggle to liberate Europe is turing the continent into rubble!

-Paris and Stuttgart attacked and burned to the ground.

-Prague, Vienna, Belgrade, Leipzig and Copenhagen captured.

-Attack on Hamburg.

FIGU!!!

FiGu · January 3, 2004, 17:49

ill play tomorrow

jim panse · January 3, 2004, 18:04

Stian, I never reload as I consider that cheating myself. I was simply lucky, that´s all (and your BBs weren´t at 100% strenght). Anyway, let us game on.

FiGu · January 6, 2004, 11:54

2 Panzers IV and one SS Infantry Division are totally destroyed. No survivors. The Heads of the Generals who lead the Divisions were sent to Reichstag.

Victory in Australia!

Japanese landing craft approach the Australian coast just outside Melbourne.

Dazed Australian prisoners being marched to a POW camp after the rout at
Melbourne.

Imperial Marines march through the Australian capital.

On schedule, the amphibious task force that captured Perth landed at Melbourne on the 7th of November. The result was an absolute rout: our veteran marines wiped out two petty infantry divisions, one commando battalion, and one marine division inside the city in two days of street-to-street fighting.

At the same time as our landings, aistrikes launched from Rockhampton emptied Canberra, wiping out one commando battallion and one marine division, as well as two unescorted engineer battalions outside the city. This allowed Type 97 Shinhoto tanks unloaded in Melbourne after its fall to secure the Australian capital on the 11th. Another division of Shinhotos attacked Sydney, and its commanders were shocked to find that the best unit in its garrison was an infantry division at 20% capacity!

Judging by this, Australia's largest city will surely fall to our victorious troops next month.

Counterstrike in Hawaii

A downed B-25 on Oahu.

Knowing that we had no chance of defending Hawaii directly, the Imperial general staff agreed to leave it with a token force and let the Americans think they had succeeded, only to wipe them out in a counterattack. Unfortunately they weren't foolish enough to put their surface ships in port or even land their troops, but kamikazes from Wake Island at least managed to destroy two P-40F Warhawk squadrons on the ground, and shoot down one B-25 squadron.

In other news:

- One grounded B-17 flotilla and one infantry division wiped out on Cuba.

- Alma-Ata emptied again. Apparently the Soviets can't take a hint.

- Minor bombardment of Irkutsk, wiping out two motorized infantry divisions and one infantry division.

Nice round Darius

sas · January 9, 2004, 06:27

btw, i hope you used the Nov1942 rules (run the 2194.bat file)

Darius871 · January 9, 2004, 06:43

I actually moved a few units on the western front before realizing it, and restarted.

Anyway, I'm just delaying the inevitable, believe me. Germany's finished.

Incidentally, did you know I was coming in the south of Australia? I was surprised to find much of anything in Melbourne, not that it mattered.

Darius871 · January 9, 2004, 07:24

Yikes, looking at what I just edited we haven't had a map in a looong time:

Not really, but i did suspect your forces that took Perth would be up to something. I tried to keep a good defence in all my cities. Not that it helped any..
