for the Reich-Joe's German AAR

I'm not going to do this detailed as I don't really have the commitment.

It's early 1940 right now, just starting to invade France via Belgium. I invaded and conquered Poland in June-July 1938, so my army is not as advanced as it usually is, so France is slow going. After France I'll take Britain, then push south into Spain (Republican Spain won the civil war).
Then I will swing east and take Italy and the Balkans. Then I will take Russia. Hopefully hehehhe.

After Russia, I hope to be able to get a foothold in the American continent(Not decided where, maybe Panama though). The I might be able to take all of America.

 

wouldnt it make more sense to ally with Italy?

 

Nope. It's more fun invading it.
UPDATE-France is out of the way (Took round about a month), just waiting for my transports to build so I can go for Britain.

 

Do you have paratroopers? That would be fun...

 

Yes, 4 divisions worth, and sufficient transports to move them. I also have several marines that will form the spearhead.
My plan is to send the Paratroopers and Marines (With armoured support in the form of 3 tank divisions, also going to be landed) in on the first wave, (Landing in Plymouth), the ferry the rest of my army across.
For once Britain has a sizable army in the U.K., so it will be rather interesting.

 

Good Luck!!!! What I'm really waiting for is, the Russia conquest. Waiting so long to go after them, will be very interesting!!!

I also look forward to your "sealion", as I have a lot of trouble trying to pull that off. Let me know

 

Update people, D-Day is set at 6 June 1941.

 

Well Sealion is going as planned, troops landed (4 Marine, 3 inf and 3 panzer divisions).
The Royal Navy counterattacked with a sizable fleet. I had in my fleet my entire navy; 2 CVs (III), 2 BBs (Bismark & Tirpitz, IV) and the rest that you start off with (the two I BCs etc etc).
Guess what the result was?







Unfortunately, Tirpitz suffered heavy damage.

 

HMS Duke of York got revenge on her sister's killer-she just sank KMS Peter Strasser!
I'm going to get that bastard even if it kills me! Graf Zeppelin and Peter Strasser where the pride of the German fleet! Those British will pay!

Lets see what the Royal Navy can do to stop panzers rolling through London!

 

THE SITUATION SO FAR

I'm taking my time with this. I keep running the risk of getting cut off; with Peter Strasser sunk and Tirpitz in port getting repairs, I have to keep running from the RN.

Also, Ecuador and Peru just went to war. I might be able to intervene after Britain is out of the way.

 

You need to get more Inf to England ASAP! Is it possible to transport them via Airplane Transport to Dover/Porstmouth/Plymouth? You need to liberate Wales first (gives you flanking attack) and go for their Industry (so they cant produce more units etc).

 

Starting to move again...


an opportunity...


...that has been exploited!


I spy with my little eye...another encirlement!


9 divisions in the bag!


For you, the war is over! 9 divisions destroyed!


The remenants of the British army are making a stand in Scotland...


TO BE CONTINUED!

 

Sweet!!! Good Job!

 

I have 32 inf divisions in England Mussolini, altogether about 42 divisions, including Paras, Marines and Panzers.

 

~fin~


NEXT TARGET: ITALY

 

I just allied with Japan when they DOW'ed the Allies.
My plan is simple, when they have taken India, DOW Persia so Japan can invade that, then go on into Africa.
<rubs hands together>

 

What settings/cheats are you using?

 

gasp! Cheats? I'm not using any cheats!

(Except perhaps nofog to see how things are going across the world)

 

In honor of all those sailors who died on Peter Strasser one of my new carriers has been named after it.

 

Hmm...how did you build so many Aircraft Carriers and Divisions at the same time? As Italy it is very hard to get one (have to research them first) until '41 at the earliest, and that is just 1 AC.
