Write the same stuff here as I did on Sillyflowers AAR.

Nice AAR and an exciting game. We will see how it plays out.

Conventional wisdom would be to stay on the defensive in 1944, but we go on the offensive and shatter the elite 7th army,
destroy the 16th mech corps.

Hungary builds a large corps. Germany sends aid to Romania and builds 100 supply trucks. Italy builds a mountain corps.

Conventional wisdom would be to attack with the place you have 9 panzers sitting around, but that's just me. You let the Soviets get the drop on you in 43, and that was a mistake, but you obviously learned from that and decided to get your licks in first this time.

There is no reason whatever to passively wait Soviet attacks when you've got that much fresh armor on hand. I would attack myself.

I do wonder how much you can rely on the Spanish to hold the line before they are used up. They look rather fragile to me. But that is all the more reason to attack before they are spent.

The Soviet edge in air is pretty scary. They've got you outnumbered 2-1 and you can hardly put much more up there than you've got.



sveint -> RE: Berserk! sveint(Axis) vs Sillyflower(Allies) (8/2/2020 9:21:25 PM)

I need to keep reserves in case the Soviets penetrate. If I'm caught without fresh panzer reserves it could cost me the game.

Three panzer divisions and a Spanish corps shatter in the Soviet assaults.
The Western Allies invade and take Amsterdam.

The Axis start leaving Africa. Reinforcements are railed in to contain the landings in the Netherlands.

Turn 125: June 2, 1944

One German and one Spanish corps shattered, Italian paratrooper shattered (at Misurata).
Allies take Rotterdam, which gives them two size 9 ports.

Counter-attacks in the west eliminated one corps and two divisions, but the air war is going
decisively against us.

sveint -> RE: Berserk! sveint(Axis) vs Sillyflower(Allies) (8/3/2020 2:08:09 AM)

Counter-attacks in Russia shatter one mech corps. Soviet forces in the south are quite weak, we can pull reinforcements from there if needed.

In the east we eliminate the two paratroopers. Not sure why SillyFlower would waste them like that.

sveint -> RE: Berserk! sveint(Axis) vs Sillyflower(Allies) (8/3/2020 9:31:09 PM)

In the west we go all in on Rotterdam, eliminating one US paratrooper and a UK corps.
The Allies now have a single size 9 port. Still bad, but not catastrophic.

However by now the Luftwaffe is kaput.

Italy builds a mountain corps. Germany sends aid to Yugoslavia.

German manpower is at 52%.

Germany builds 100 supply trucks.

Turn 127: June 30, 1944

In the east Germany loses two corps shattered.
In the west Germany loses one corps shattered and two air units overrun.
In Libya, Italy loses a small corps and the Allies take Tripoli.

We counter-attack in the west, shattering the 2nd US armor, a US mech corp and destroying two US paratroopers.
The 16th Panzer retakes Amsterdam, but is only at two-thirds strength. Can it hold?

Either way this is really good news.

Things aren't going nearly as well in the east, where we eliminate a paratrooper and plug
the weak points in our lines as best we can.

The Axis evacuates all of North Africa. German manpower is at 54%.

Sveint is going to collapse somewhere...I think?

Those are a huge amount of Axis/Allied Builds, kind of entertaining to see. I don't know what level of win loss will come but I suppose regardless what an entertaining fight.

When units are at this tech the game dynamic changes some as the Axis Minors make up for the lack of German Manpower. The Russians look as if they bled early a lot. Though regardless nothing stops that juggernaut at this point forever. But the clock?


Nice looking game!



sveint -> RE: Berserk! sveint(Axis) vs Sillyflower(Allies) (8/4/2020 2:25:09 AM)

It's too early to call, I have a feeling an Allied victory sometime in early 1945.



boldairade -> RE: Berserk! sveint(Axis) vs Sillyflower(Allies) (8/4/2020 1:21:24 PM)

I thought this would be a runaway axis win with England conquered and the forces arrayed for Barbarossa.

then again, i've never even played a game into 1942 vs the AI, never mind vs a human.



Flaviusx -> RE: Berserk! sveint(Axis) vs Sillyflower(Allies) (8/4/2020 3:05:14 PM)

On points Sveint is surely well in the lead and he can win on points if he avoids getting knocked out. But the allies do have a good chance of doing just that.

A 42 Barbarossa is always problematic. Sure, he savaged the British and certainly got a ton of VPs from them plus Iberia and the Med. But if you leave the Red Army alone for an extra year it is going to be a beast down the line.

I think landing in the Netherlands was possibly an error for the Western allies. It's too easy to defend. The flipsside of that is if they don't do this the Germans can abandon most of France, retreat in good order towards Italy and Germany, and form a very tough line. And if they can hold on to those big ports in the Low Countries, the allies are going to have serious logistical problems. I've done this myself as the Axis.




sveint -> RE: Berserk! sveint(Axis) vs Sillyflower(Allies) (8/4/2020 10:14:11 PM)

The Allies sue for an immediate ceasefire! We have avoided Der Untergang!

With the Axis in Amsterdam is the allied invasion cut off from supply?

Yes, all out of supply.

Well that was a big shift. Two posts ago "I have a feeling an Allied victory sometime in early 1945." Then, the allies sue for peace. Did you find compromising pictures of Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill? :)
