Nilat · August 3, 2003, 07:34

EmuGod · August 3, 2003, 11:33

Stalin II, we need to talk about our game plan before I play my turn.

Nilat · August 3, 2003, 11:50

Good idea.
I think that we wont win, but were going to fight to the end!

Eivind IV · August 5, 2003, 15:22

Operation Barbarossa Begins!
The time has come for the German people to destroy the evil Communist system and to oust Stalin's oppression in eastern Europe! Lebensraum awaits Naional Socialist Germany and her allies in the USSR! This morning, the Luftwaffe began a massive aerial bombing raid on targets throughout the Soviet Union. The entire Red Airforce is no more and according to intelligence sources, Soviet aviation minister Ryachagov has been executed. German armored vehicles and infanty struck east along the entire front, liberating the following cities:

-Riga
-Kaunas
-Minsk
-Odessa

Advances in the Mediterranean!
German and Italian forces struck the enemy in the Mediterranean while simultaneously assaulting the British in North Africa. The British island of Malta fell to the Italians as the Afrika Korps smashed eastward and liberated Benghazi. It is only a matter of time before the British fall before the powers of the German and Italian juggernauts.

Sorry emugod about yesterday, i had connection problems

FiGu · August 7, 2003, 13:22

hmm... Kobra, there's some things i've forgot to mention...
1) Syria was taken by the british long before barbarossa
2) Vietnam should be japan, after the Japans annexed it from Vichy France.

academia · August 7, 2003, 13:37

The US government thinks that it´s relevant to state that we won´t intervene in this new european carnage for the time being.
USA will addopt a position of neutrality in the conflict.
Don´t dare to attack us... remember the lessons of WW1

Vichy-French Indo-China wasn't annexed before july 1941.

I would want to talk about the house rule that you cant land bombers on carriers.
it isnt so good cause I cant get any bombers away from the pacific islands... And its hard for England in the pacific and VERY hard for the axis to attack america! And of course its hard for america to attack europe, cause the tanks are not good...

And again:

Dont listen to my stupid requests

Eivind IV · August 8, 2003, 19:29

It's a part of the game, mate!

Nilat · August 9, 2003, 02:33

btw, is it part of the game that tanks are nearly useless?

jim panse · August 9, 2003, 03:10

Guys, I´ll be out until Wednesday and I think I will not have internet access. Regards, Stephan

Nilat · August 9, 2003, 06:07

Well, your the last

Take your time

Well, you need tanks in order to blitz. But you can't blitz without coordinated attacks with your airforce. Hence the name Blitzkrieg

. Some civs will get better tanks as time goes by. The tanks are the only units with high enough movement to blitz. And only tanks can take out tanks, exept for planes.

In ww2 heavy bomber couldn't land on carriers, so that's why I added the house rule. Again, the players decide which house rules to use.

It's supposed to be hard for England in the Pacific. Remember the giant distances and that protectiong the home island is maybe alittle bit more important than shitty pacific islands.

If you want to succeed with USA, you will have to establish a foothold on a airfield. From here you can bomb the Axis. Or maybe convince the English to hand you a city to build up your forces.

Nilat · August 9, 2003, 09:59

Sorry Kobra, I was in bad mood when I wrote that

I understand now

FiGu · August 9, 2003, 16:25

N.Africa
The British has succesfully launched a counter attack against the Benghazi area, which lead to large Germany Casualties, the Desert Fox lost a large part of its Air Force and Panzer Force, with only 1 Panzer Division remaining in the area guarding Benghazi.
Churchill said about the fall of Malta. "The Brave people of malta, which had to stand against a overwhelming force, fought bravely for the empire, we promise you on the island Malta, We will be back!"

Britain
The brave RAF made counter attacks against Luftwaffen, which lead to the destruction of several German Aircraft. Over 150 German Pilots were taken POW. And over 250 German Aircrafts has been shoot down(2 units

)

Nilat · August 10, 2003, 09:38

Now we have to wait 3-4 days...

EmuGod · August 13, 2003, 14:19

Just bringing this thread to the top.....

Nilat · August 13, 2003, 14:24

Yeah, cause it looked like jim forgot this pbem

Eivind IV · August 14, 2003, 05:44

Looking forward seeing this continued

jim panse · August 14, 2003, 08:23

I haven´t forgot about this PBEM, I was out of town the last days, sorry for leeting you wait.

Anyway, here´s my turn: I tried to fight the german juggernaut but with these weapons ...... I do not understand why a Panzer III can knock out my KV Heavy tanks but anyway. Victory will be mine. Comrade I. Stalin, Moscow.

EmuGod · August 14, 2003, 08:55

You should have seen how useless tanks are against infantry. In singleplayer, one infantry can successfully defend against 3 tanks without taking damage.

Nilat · August 14, 2003, 11:46

Well, you have to understand that Kobra hasnt done a scen before! Isnt it my turn?
