GiveWarAchance -> Some photos from my Germany/Italy game (12/30/2020 8:27:56 PM)

I am posting some photos from my game as Germany & Italy with Japan on AI control. It is the start of my turn so nothing has been done yet by me so some frontline units are in tatters from the enemy attacks just now. It is July or August or something in 1944. [image]https://i.imgur.com/PoLIAWA.jpg[/image] Allied juggernaut cooks my hapless units with their unlimited power. [image]https://i.imgur.com/YDH0v2A.jpg[/image] Army Group North just pushed back a Soviet push into Finland. The swamp, bad weather and thick forests with few roads prevent progress in this area because any units moving ahead run out of supply and get stuck in all that natural mayhem while giant Soviet KV2 tanks and infantry armies block off the region. [image]https://i.imgur.com/5cy4sBy.jpg[/image] Army Group Center is basically in a holding operation with few units, bad terrain with much swamp, and two HQs were sent to France to help there. The Soviet bulge is actually a containment pen to keep those Soviet units bogged down and out of the fight. [image]https://i.imgur.com/OxPuDgO.jpg[/image] Here is the Caucasus mop up from both Army Group South and Rommel's Africa Corps. This is our most successful area along with Africa which the Italians are mopping up. Our AI Japan friend is slowly being rolled up by overwhelming USA island hopping in the classic way, so the only hope for the Axis is to secure the Baku area and move up to Stalingrad hopefully by 1945 we can get it.... good lord. I feel like we are winning though because the allies should get stalemated in France while Russia is very slowing being ground back, and our income and territory are steadily increasing. My big worry is Japan will be terminated by the USA. The Torch landings were wiped out by a strong German counterattack that inflicted heavy losses on the Americans so hopefully that weakened them a bit. It was a particularly delicious moment when a Tiger tank unit snuffed out Bradley's HQ and brought the loudly complaining Bradly in for interrogation which is how he will spend the rest of his summer. He even threatened us like a mother tells monster stories to children: "Patton will come! And you will regret not letting me go right now! In fact, if you could see the future slaughter that Patton will bring down upon you rotten krauts for capturing me, you would fly me 1st class to Casablanca right now to be with him! As a reward for flying me there in style, you get to keep your plane until we destroy it a day or two later. You get what I'm saying you rotten krauts? FLY ME TO CASABLANCA NOW OR FACE THE WRATH OF PATTON!" A staff member recorded all these threats, and the rant was printed on leaflets and a bomber dropped them over Patton's HQ to get him a good laugh. Upon reading the leaflet, Patton declared a 5 day period of rest to let the army resupply and to avoid accidentally saving Bradley too early. He said it was the first good reason he's ever had to delay an operation. [image]https://i.imgur.com/xA0m1tF.jpg[/image] War Map shows the situation in summer 1944. It looks fairly good for the Axis, even considering the massive allied armies in the fog of war. We need to expand and inflict massive losses on the allies before Japan is smitten by the ruthless US onslaught.
