cpdeyoung -> Sturm und Drang : Axis Perspective (2/12/2009 10:48:22 PM)

19390901 : It has come to this, war or dishonor! The continuing provocations of the Polish, and their western backers, demand a response and we must rise to the challenge. Poland's neighbors, the Soviets and ourselves, cannot allow this flaunting of their alliance with the West to continue. We will lead with the attack, and the Soviets will follow later. Once we remove the Polish agents, perhaps the French and British will stop their resistance to the mild revision of territories we propose.

Gary and I have reversed roles, with the same rule set as in RtW.

19390916 : We push into Poland, going as quickly as possible to Warsaw. In the West we position holding forces.

19391001 : We advanced too quickly, misjudging the Polish ability to slip between our units and intercept supplies. This will be painful!

cpdeyoung -> RE: Sturm und Drang : Axis Perspective (2/12/2009 10:54:30 PM)

19391101 : Our pain absorbed, we get on with the reduction of the enemy positions.

cpdeyoung -> RE: Sturm und Drang : Axis Perspective (2/12/2009 10:58:44 PM)

19391201 : The Armée de l'Air and RAF have launched missions against our ground troops, and the interceptions of same have cost us expensive air SPs. We did hurt them too, however. We will be getting ready for our Spring campaigns, and until some action occurs we will hold off posting.

19400301 : We are now ready to begin our campaign. We do not have near the power we would wish but we have two big tasks to accomplish : we want to secure the Baltic, by capturing Copenhagen, and we want to capture Amsterdam before the British can get a foothold in th Netherlands.

cpdeyoung -> RE: Sturm und Drang : Axis Perspective (2/12/2009 11:12:16 PM)

Some notes on the campaign thus far : The Polish campaign went well, except for the loss of the Panzer division.  The air losses when the Allies made their attacks were painful, but we took them in stride.  Having to expend the landing craft necessary to capture Copenhagen was costly, but acceptable.

The quick capture of Amsterdam was a coup.  We waited until we had the proper force structure for this blitz, and it worked very well.  The northern border of Belgium is now exposed, which should concern Gary a bit.  We intend to build more strength, then begin the big campaign.

We intend to contest the sea battle with the Allies, and want very much to capture France, and then bring Spain in to gain Gibraltar.  We want to make the British pay for any advances they wish to make in North Africa. At this point we will do what it takes to prevent Allied shipments to the Soviets, and even to isolate Great Britain.  The campaign in France is going to be time critical.

We need things to go very well for us, and against Gary that will not be a given, no, not at all.

Another AAR?

Nice :)



cpdeyoung -> RE: Sturm und Drang : Axis Perspective (2/13/2009 10:21:29 PM)

19430316 : Licking our wounds. We are going to attack the French, perhaps after a wait to build up forces a bit more. Our air needs replacements, and we would love more panzers. We have not seen the British yet, and the war is in its very early stages.

19400401 : A sea battle in the Norwegian Sea this turn. The Royal Navy and Kreigsmarine are evauating the following results :

quote:

Cairo attacks Leipzig and deals 2 damage.
UBoat attacks Cairo and deals 2 damage.
UBoat attacks Cairo and deals 2 damage. Sinking Cairo.

Deutschland attacks Southhampton and deals 2 damage.
All miss and battle ends.


We hold our fire for another turn of building up.

cpdeyoung -> RE: Sturm und Drang : Axis Perspective (2/15/2009 10:29:59 PM)

19400416 : We attack France this turn through Belgium and Luxembourg.

cpdeyoung -> RE: Sturm und Drang : Axis Perspective (2/15/2009 11:20:08 PM)

19400501 : We chose to drive through Luxembourg and take the resource center. We now have three Panzer Korps, at great expense. Our Luftwaffe took three SPs in losses this turn.

cpdeyoung -> RE: Sturm und Drang : Axis Perspective (2/16/2009 11:53:37 PM)

19400509 : We continue our drive into France.

cpdeyoung -> RE: Sturm und Drang : Axis Perspective (2/18/2009 12:59:22 AM)

19400516 : The Italians entered the war, and promptly fell back in North Africa and in the mountains near France. The Germans continued their advance into France.

cpdeyoung -> RE: Sturm und Drang : Axis Perspective (2/18/2009 10:54:00 PM)

19400524 : The Germans entered the French capital, and we are willing to offer an armistice, but will the French accept? The Italians see no British or French anywhere in North Africa.

cpdeyoung -> RE: Sturm und Drang : Axis Perspective (2/19/2009 5:49:04 PM)

19400601 : We offered the French a neutral state based on Vichy, but they rejected this and decided to fight on. We have pushed our forces forward, expecting a confrontation near Marseilles. We need to reduce Metz also. The Italians have found powerful British forces in the desert. They are very well equiped and speedy. We are ready to defend, but not to push forward yet.

cpdeyoung -> RE: Sturm und Drang : Axis Perspective (2/20/2009 4:03:06 AM)

19400609 : We attack around Metz and rush south. Spain puts Gibraltar under seige. Italy pulls back in the face of British strength.

cpdeyoung -> RE: Sturm und Drang : Axis Perspective (2/20/2009 5:59:46 PM)

19400616 : We are forced by outrages in the Baltic countries to declare war on each of them. Police forces have been sent to East Prussia to enforce order there. In France we drive on Marseilles and take Metz. We occupy Gibraltar with Spanish forces as the British peacefully pull down their colours, and abandon this vestige of Imperial ambition.

cpdeyoung -> RE: Sturm und Drang : Axis Perspective (2/21/2009 3:57:55 PM)

19400624 : Marseilles has fallen. The Soviet Union says they will protect our interests in the Baltic states. They have annexed Latvia and Lithuania, but the bandit state of Estonia continues to flaunt their defiance. The Soviets have refused our requests for passage across their newly occupied territory. These unfriendly actions will be considered.

cpdeyoung -> RE: Sturm und Drang : Axis Perspective (2/22/2009 8:46:54 PM)

19400701 : France has fallen, and we declare war on Yugoslavia. Our troops in the East have found massive Soviet buildups.


[image]local://upfiles/25841/D8F053B101B74E84B52D96F0CA8F2774.jpg[/image]



cpdeyoung -> RE: Sturm und Drang : Axis Perspective (2/23/2009 1:52:51 AM)

19400709 : We are moving ahead in Yugoslavia, and we are concerned with the Soviet buildup along our borders, but the presence of our combined fleets off Lisbon shows the depth of our concern with Western Europe. We intend to maintain a naval presence in the West, and we will do what it takes in production and repairs to contend there. We are well aware the Royal Navy is a force to be reckoned with, but we have more industrial resources to allocate, and they will find it more difficult to maintain their fleet in good order as attrition occurs. We can slip forces through the straits of Gibraltar as we need to do so, and the enemy must stick with the configuration that obtained when Gibraltar was
given up.

The Italians have seen the powerful fast British desert forces before them again, but we are there in consdierable force too, and will draw back on Tobruk if necessary and make them fight at the end of their supply lines. If necessary we can gain superiority in the Med and bring some German mechanized forces over to contend with the British.

If we can mount an amphibious invasion of the British Isles we will do so.

cpdeyoung -> RE: Sturm und Drang : Axis Perspective (2/23/2009 6:50:08 PM)

19400716 : No naval battle, which is disappointing to us, as we wanted to find a small portion of the Royal Navy in the South Atlantic. The Italians did declare war on Portugal and this may bring the British down there. We continued our advance into Yugoslavia, finding a concentration around Belgrade, upgraded some Panzer units.

cpdeyoung -> RE: Sturm und Drang : Axis Perspective (2/23/2009 11:29:04 PM)

19400724 : We are concentrating on a Mediterannean strategy ths turn.

cpdeyoung -> RE: Sturm und Drang : Axis Perspective (2/24/2009 4:31:33 AM)

19400801 : We are grinding away in Yugoslavia, and concentrating on the Middle Sea.

cpdeyoung -> RE: Sturm und Drang : Axis Perspective (2/24/2009 5:50:10 PM)

19400815 : Malta is taken, and the DAK arrives near the front in Arfrika!

cpdeyoung -> RE: Sturm und Drang : Axis Perspective (2/25/2009 12:06:36 AM)

19400901 : Shifting and positioning, and naval battles.


[image]local://upfiles/25841/86F74C9B17E64796921D12ED056D8C4C.jpg[/image]



cpdeyoung -> RE: Sturm und Drang : Axis Perspective (2/25/2009 4:27:59 PM)

19400916 : Grinding forward, too slowly in Yugoslavia and Portugal.

cpdeyoung -> RE: Sturm und Drang : Axis Perspective (2/26/2009 12:23:45 AM)

19401001 : No naval battles. We choose to attack Greece.

cpdeyoung -> RE: Sturm und Drang : Axis Perspective (2/26/2009 5:51:33 PM)

19401016 : If it were not for the Soviet Union we would be quite satisfied with our progress, but the Red Army must be building at top speed, and we must address this. The Americans are also likely to enter the war within a year. Our conquests will mean we have a lot of ground to defend when these major powers arrive on the scene.

cpdeyoung -> RE: Sturm und Drang : Axis Perspective (2/27/2009 1:42:51 AM)

19401101 : Slow going. We are not hurting the Allies much, and we are not engaged with the Soviets at all. Should we be thinking of a preemptive attack on the Soviets? If so, when should our campaign start? Spring 1941 seems the most profitable time to begin wading into that sea of Red Army units.
