May/Jun 1940, Axis Impulse #2: French convoys in the Mediterranean are essentially wiped, with one falling back to Syria. [image]https://i.ibb.co/HDVFBrK/0419L.png[/image]

May/Jun 1940, Axis Impulse #2: To quote Bananarama, it's going to be a cruel, cruel summer. [image]https://i.ibb.co/60Pq5v2/0420A.png[/image]

May/Jun 1940, Axis Impulse #2: May... let's say 5th, 1940. The day Nationalist Chinese Cavalry died. [image]https://i.ibb.co/DDq56bq/0420B.png[/image]

May/Jun 1940, Axis Impulse #2: Italy opens the ground kill tally with a single French INF in the Alps. Italians choose not to exploit the opening left by regrouping French Mountain troops on the fear of being isolated. [image]https://i.ibb.co/9NQ63Tc/0420C.png[/image]

May/Jun 1940, Allied Impulse #3: Commonwealth, of course, has to retaliate, even if a US entry is lost: CW declares war on Italy. British battleships are deployed all over the Mediterranean. 4 x 6-3 cruisers fall back from Singapore to Aden. It's a British world, after all. P.S. Carrier fleet, although powered up through appropriate reshuffles, still holds ground in UK. [image]https://i.ibb.co/xsYPjTC/0420D.png[/image]

May/Jun 1940, Allied Impulse #3: Commonwealth takes no prisoners - British ships scour the Mediterranean, seeking Italian vessels. However, luck does not favor the Brits; all they have to show for their effort is a single sunk CP just off Rome. [image]https://i.ibb.co/b2g50H7/0420E.png[/image]

May/Jun 1940, Allied Impulse #3: Second wave of strategic bombardment hits German mainland; French bombs miss, but British, despite active Wehrmacht AA, find their target. [image]https://i.ibb.co/c8Fw05X/0420F.png[/image]

May/Jun 1940, Allied Impulse #3: French forces fall back marginally in the Alps, straightening the defense lines. [image]https://i.ibb.co/3037Zrn/0420G.png[/image]

May/Jun 1940, Axis Impulse #4: Germans lined up against the Netherlands. Italians flood the Alps. Japanese keep retaking the area around Wuhan. Nat-CHI losses are starting to add up. [image]https://i.ibb.co/zFGF01z/0420H.png[/image]

Rysyonok -> RE: Until 1948: The war that never ends (A solo AAR) (4/21/2021 1:43:56 AM)
May/Jun 1940, Allied Impulse #5: Emboldened by the shift of Japanese forces to the south, Communist Chinese launch their first attack of the campaign. A +8 before the HQ support, so may Mao help them... P.S. He did - no Communists were lost, but they were sure disorganized across the entire front. [image]https://i.ibb.co/BVmXT5R/0420I.png[/image]

May/Jun 1940, Axis Impulse #6: Italians keep flooding into Southern France, pushing against a Thin Blue line. [image]https://i.ibb.co/JBLPPSQ/0421A.png[/image]

May/Jun 1940, Axis Impulse #6: Germany declares war on the Netherlands - and Panzers quickly flood the Lowlands. [image]https://i.ibb.co/614s997/0421B.png[/image]

Rysyonok -> RE: Until 1948: The war that never ends (A solo AAR) (4/22/2021 2:30:51 AM)
May/Jun 1940, Axis Impulse #6: Netherlands falls - sadly, not a single trophy for Axis as ships either sink (1) or escape to UK (3) - but Italians balance it out. Behold: Alpine troops cut through the French lines. And France has no reserves anywhere close by to plug the hole. This is what happens when one over-relies on individual divisions to hold the frontline. [image]https://i.ibb.co/hctpGfb/0421.png[/image]

May/Jun 1940, Allied Impulse #7: Another full-pass attempt from the Allies, hoping to avert what seems to be a German-Belgian declaration of war the next impulse - or Japanese massacre of disorganized Communist Chinese units. [image]https://i.ibb.co/6v535KB/0421D.png[/image]

May/Jun 1940, End of Turn: With Italians breaking through in the Alps, Americans choose to pick up the French carrier Bearn - as a carrier and not a transport. [image]https://i.ibb.co/5xDzTW0/0421F.png[/image]

May/Jun 1940, End of Turn: Production: Germany concentrates on heavy bombers, submarines, and quick militia garrison top-ups. Next turn it's all about long-term ground builds for the potential Soviet campaign. Italy builds a militia and a submarine. Japan builds a pilot / carrier air combo, an infantry. Carriers also get a boost - 2 x CV2s are started on, and one light CVL1 enters the second production stage. [image]https://i.ibb.co/WkH3Mt6/0422A.png[/image]

Rysyonok -> RE: Until 1948: The war that never ends (A solo AAR) (4/22/2021 10:18:14 PM)
May/Jun 1940, End of Turn: Production: China builds a Communist MTN and a Nationalist INF division. British continue the strategy of heavy bombers and cheap territorials. A TRS is sent back for repair; naval gearing overall is down to only 1 unit per turn, and that's dangerously low, something not to repeat in future games as CW. France builds an infantry, a garrison, and a fighter / pilot combo. USA starts 2nd phase construction on 1939 battleships, while repairing CV4 Saratoga and building a carrier air. USSR builds 2 infantry, 2 x LND2, a ski division, and a pilot. [image]https://i.ibb.co/927ZhFc/0422B.png[/image]

Jul/Aug 1940, Axis Impulse #1: Germany declares war on Belgium. US entry adds a chit: [image]https://i.ibb.co/74ygLqS/0422C.png[/image]

Jul/Aug 1940, Axis Impulse #1: Belgium sets up in the most defensive way possible, across the river. [image]https://i.ibb.co/gz0qmHF/0422D.png[/image]

Jul/Aug 1940, Axis Impulse #1: All 4 of Italian subs sail to Cape Vincent - carnage follows, with every single surprise point spent for the kill, even at the cost to our submariners. [image]https://i.ibb.co/Jq2hxJn/0422E.png[/image]

Rysyonok -> RE: Until 1948: The war that never ends (A solo AAR) (4/23/2021 1:03:50 AM)
Jul/Aug 1940, Axis Impulse #1: The aftermath of Cape Vincent massacre. [image]https://i.ibb.co/5Yk18JW/0422F.png[/image]

Jul/Aug 1940, Axis Impulse #1: An example of why it's unadvisable to keep HQ on the frontlines. [image]https://i.ibb.co/gtwWCLH/0422G.png[/image]

Jul/Aug 1940, Axis Impulse #1: German Luftwaffe firebombs Brussels. [image]https://i.ibb.co/w65mSNB/0422H.png[/image]

Jul/Aug 1940, Axis Impulse #1: Mostly safe battles - North China partisan clean-up and Belgian all-out assault supported by every possible best unit. In Central China, IJA troops try to corner a stray flank garrison before considering taking out disorganized Mao INF-HQ. P.S. Defenders lose the garrison, but 2 Japanese infantry units are disorganized. [image]https://i.ibb.co/ctSM380/0422I.png[/image]

Jul/Aug 1940, Allied Impulse #2: Commonwealth reinforces Cape Vincent with 4 CPs and 2 Dutch cruisers - Italians still hope for a victory - but their luck runs out. No permanent losses, but one submarine ends up damaged, and another one goes home for the turn. [image]https://i.ibb.co/Pc3g6BQ/0422J.png[/image]

Rysyonok -> RE: Until 1948: The war that never ends (A solo AAR) (4/25/2021 2:04:32 AM)
Jul/Aug 1940, Allied Impulse #2: Commonwealth and French planes stay grounded in preparation for battle support, while Soviet ones fly. And finally there's a hit - an entire Finnish corps is wiped, leaving Helsinki unprotected. Will that be enough for the victory, as two Soviet divisions sit just across the bay, ready to transport? [image]https://i.ibb.co/5BxjPLx/0424A.png[/image]

Jul/Aug 1940, Allied Impulse #2: French troops move into Belgium, and they are quite well-armed; an AA behind the front lines, 2 ATs right on the front lines. Plenty of cheap divisions scattered all over to absorb or mitigate the losses. [image]https://i.ibb.co/4Rzxwjc/0424B.png[/image]

Rysyonok -> RE: Until 1948: The war that never ends (A solo AAR) (4/25/2021 3:04:43 AM)
Jul/Aug 1940, Axis Impulse #3: There are attacks initiated in Belgium, in French Alps, and in Northern China; all of them at meager +8 odds. Axis is tempting Lady luck; and in Belgium that results in the largest fighter battle to date. Eventually, Allies (or French) retreat, having lost the bomber with its pilot.

Rysyonok -> RE: Until 1948: The war that never ends (A solo AAR) (4/25/2021 3:14:06 AM)
Jul/Aug 1940, Axis Impulse #3: Battles go very poorly for Allies. Italians break through further in the Alps, potentially forcing French to fall back to Marseilles. [image]https://i.ibb.co/QFGFCXc/0424E.png[/image]
