With the exception of the USSR, all the Allies pass in a desperate attempt to end the turn. For the second time it succeeds! Losses for Sep/Oct 1943: [image]local://upfiles/46315/B6E9F762AD05468992D5343C25FA2325.jpg[/image]

With the loss of Perm and Sverdlovsk, both of which had resources either on the city or next to it, Soviet production is even worse. [image]local://upfiles/46315/1C83C7DA6F9D4E0C874D28ACF467CB66.jpg[/image]

Commonwealth production has also taken a hit, with the convoy chain still not fully recovered (only missing one) but the heavy strategic bomber raids have taken a big toll. [image]local://upfiles/46315/20F052C657E44FF5A89497187C3B825C.jpg[/image]

There was a slight bug in Version 9 that stopped Australian reinforcements arriving. That's been fixed in V.10 and I'm happy to report Boomerang and Mosquito goodness have shown up to defend my homeland. [image]local://upfiles/46315/DCC0A1B591B746D08A06A3622BE22D74.jpg[/image]

The Japanese get one of the best NAV aircraft you could hope to see, the magnificent P1Y1 'Ginga'. Thats enough to strike fear into the hearts of US naval captains. [image]local://upfiles/46315/37BA11DD36974DD2AC2A134D05BCCFED.jpg[/image]

Time has prevented me from updating this thread for a while, apologies. May not end up finishing it as the game is basically over, the only question is whether or not the Germans can invade England. As it is fun playing with Me-262's and P-51s I'll probably keep going, just may not bother updating the AAR. I may finish it to the end of 1944. See how we go. The Axis have the impulse for the Nov-Dec 1943 turn and all sides (if I recall correctly) do a naval impulse. The Kriegsmarine decide that the forces that stayed at sea in the Faeroes Gap are vulnerable... [image]local://upfiles/46315/0F36327830A244879CC0B09B897D5799.jpg[/image]

The now scary German fleet moves into the Faeroes Gap. And of course, they fail to find any Allied ships. Dowh!! The Allies breathe a sigh of relief. [image]local://upfiles/46315/BC90453AD3104DBAB1AA7C88EFE2EC07.jpg[/image]

In the Azanian Sea both the Italians and Japanese decide to pounce on the British fleet that stayed at sea last turn. The Axis do find the Royal Navy this time... [image]local://upfiles/46315/DCA0C46146E243E492F4979D018B15F9.jpg[/image]

In what was probably yet another mistake, the Axis choose surface combat (mostly because they were afraid of the Spitfires on Implacable, and then hit 'choose target'. Implacable escapes destruction [image]local://upfiles/46315/C1BDDD2CF9A74EB1A96ECB26FBEADAB9.jpg[/image]

The U-boats find some convoys in the North Atlantic. I'm afraid I can't remember how many they sank in this engagement, about five destroyed I think. [image]local://upfiles/46315/43A978CD3B80469BB90A4E81C0E23C92.jpg[/image]

With the entire German fleet in one place, the Allies send everything they can, and I mean everything, into the Faeroes Gap, including a couple of kitchen sinks! And of course what happens? No one finds anyone! [image]local://upfiles/46315/D833F217CB864DF09650CCEEE96726C7.jpg[/image]

In the Marianas sea the US fleet sorties to try to destroy some of the Japanese ships - they have been failing abysmally to even the score so far, and they need a bit of luck. Five carriers to three, and you could be forgiven for thinking they should do OK. But again the Japanese get the surprise points [image]local://upfiles/46315/D330A5DCAF2C4CA996E9E6D21C783133.jpg[/image]

There are still transports in Liverpool, waiting for the Allied fleets to clear the sea lanes so that they can move armies and aircraft. The Germans decide to sink some of them. Mindful of the huge fleets of Luftwaffe bombers in Northern France and Belgium, the British only send up one wing of fighters. The FW-190's are aborted, but they swat the Hurricanes from the sky. One transport is damaged and another aborted. [image]local://upfiles/46315/063A43404B9D46739E4BC7CF491FFB85.jpg[/image]

Its another day, and another day of bombing raids over England. With long-range 4-engine bombers, the Luftwaffe ranges all over in a bid to put the defenders under pressure. [image]local://upfiles/46315/1BBC84880EF04A159A11DC93E8252338.jpg[/image]

DQ2004 -> RE: DQ2004's AAR #2 - "Ouch. ...that hurt" (2/10/2014 4:58:04 AM)
Over London there is a huge running air battle as the Spitfires try to stem the tide of He-111 bombers. They manage to force some of the enemy to return to base, but three wings still get through to their targets. Surprisingly no aircraft units were destroyed in this fairly large battle.

In most places the bombers get through. They inflict a 4 production point loss. The Heinkels miss their targets over London. [image]local://upfiles/46315/AA1CEB55483C4B04A813B2B535B8398E.jpg[/image]

With few fighters left to defend, the Italians join the campaign over England. They choose to strike at Gort, to prevent him from reorganising the fighter defence. The strike is a resounding success, the unescorted Cicogna raid achieving complete surprise. [image]local://upfiles/46315/44A94C8626134EA19785BB72797AA56B.jpg[/image]

Over Europe the USAAF buildup is beginning to have a small effect. They now have some B-17s to play with. They send them to Prague. Given their strong air-to-air rating the planners hope they can survive the defending Luftwaffe fighters. They're right. The Germans' first encounter with the B-17 is a bit of a rude shock!

In the next impulse both sides find one another in the Faeroes Gap. Fortunately for the Kriegsmarine they don't have to face the entire Allied fleet. [image]local://upfiles/46315/3429873AC8FA4F2E8B07D12D21CF0342.jpg[/image]
