This After Action Report will feature the Wallies against the Russians starting in the summer of 46' and ending in the fall of 48' if neither side has achieved victory at that point. Although this is a preset stand alone scenario it can also be played after a successful campaign against the Axis with the current forces and territory remaining in place from the time the Axis surrender!

I'll be commanding the Russians and Sgt Rice will be in charge of the Allied war machine. The Russians move first but I'll spend a little time detailing the start and victory conditions first.

Status: offline 		In the preset version Yugo, Greece and Turkey are balanced neutrals and are each worth 1 strategic point (SP's). The far east contains another 4 points, 3 controlled by Russia and 1 for the Japanese capital, now controlled by the Wallies. The mid-east sees Persian control divided between the combatants and contains 4 strategic points spaced out from iraq to India. The lions share are located in Europe with both East and West Germany counting for 2 points each.

At the start of the scenario the Wallies are in the lead by a few points but Russia moves first. Both sides are trying to attain 25 SP's at the end of the opponents turn to achieve a decisive victory. If the game goes the distance 22 points will earn a marginal victory, any other result would be considered a draw.





I wont post starting Security, Signal Intell or Spy levels in order to maintain a veil of secrecy here. Spies wont play a major role in this conflict other than spotting enemy territory or intelligence/production/technology levels, but Signal Intelligence levels either way could swing the balance of the upcoming battle results as each unit rolls for a combat bonus and that roll is adjusted by each sides current SigInt.

And now on to the conflict at hand...

A little background in present technology levels will probably help here, the Russians have the upper hand with armor and the Wallies naval and heavy bomber assets dwarf anything the Russians possess.

Russian armor is 10/9 compared to the Wallies 8/8, infantry are both 8 attack with the Wallies having a one point advantage in evasion at 7. Fighters are the same levels as infantry but the Wallies have double the range at 4 movement points. Tac air and arty are even but the Heavy bombers for the Wallies are at 9 land attack compared to the Russians lowly 4.

Stalin displeased with current divisions of the spoils of war orders a full scale assault on western Europe. Knowing the Wallies are scattered between both the Pacific and European theaters plans are put in place to swarm over American and British forces as they sit unprepared for further conflict in Germany and Austria.






After Russian air units clear forward airfields of American planes ground elements from Hungary and Checkosolvakia move in to secure Austria.

This ends the the summer for the Russians, a successful first strike sees a flip flop in strategic points with the Russians now ahead 18 -14 and if we can break through into France and Italy and push the Wallies from the continent Stewie will no doubt be heard to say " Victory is mine! "

Russian tank units can't believe their good fortune as they sweep through western Europe.

Status: offline 		In the Med, Churchill convinces Truman that the Turks need to get off the fence ... so they give them a push. Air/BB attacks eliminate the Turkish shore batteries, then the main attack goes in ...




at this point my screen capture utility started giving me fits, so I'll have to tell the rest of the story.

The second battle of Gallipoli was as resounding a failure as the first! The WA assault by four infantry corps with massive naval gunfire support is stopped at the waterline by the Turkish defenders. Churchill's govt fails the vote of no confidence in Parliament; a furious Eisenhower fires Montgomery and sends Patton to take charge in the Med.

The three corps assigned for the invasion of Western Turkey are redirected to the Bosporus and succeed in a second invasion, clearing the way for US BBs to clear the Soviet navy out of the Black Sea. HBs from North Africa stage to Istanbul and commence destruction of factories and rail lines in Rumania, Bulgaria and Southern Russia.

Status: offline 		Where are you Timmeh? I've been waiting forever you to play your turn. Now i have tried to be patient, but 2 weeks, come on, you know thats just ridiculous. Anyways I'm just looking for entertainment so please try to take time off your busy schedule to play your turn. Btw, this is basically the only reason I registered. Apparently you have no intention of playing so I'm not gonna force you to play (I can't) I'm just gonna ask you politely.

Status: offline 		Sigh! sorry to disappoint Roybum. Six weeks of the hell here with work didn't allow more than the occasional browsing of the forums and virtually no free time to play/test the game Things have been back to normal for a couple weeks here now TG!

Being close to release and not expecting any major changes I'll see if I cant get another AAR going.
