Bavre -> RE: Sigizmund (CP) vs Bavre (Entente) (8/13/2021 10:39:41 PM)
|
Since Sigizmund will go on camping vacation tomorrow, a 2 week armistice has been proclaimed.
In the meantime the latest developments:
It's summer 16 now and Paris has changed hands 5 times. Both sides managed two breakthroughs to the others cannons, only damage to the guns however, no kills.
Overall both sides don't look to peachy on the western front. As far as I can see there are hardly any full strength units around on either side due to the frantic fighting.
After a longer break for upgrading and overstrengthening (and totally not for sitting out the morale effects of the greek surrender) the french ace of aces is back in the sky. After a German fighter is spotted on a swamp tile (neg def) relatively close to the frontline, Fonck is dispatched for a direct attack. In the resulting engagements with both the target and another squadron that tried to cover it, the french squadron downs 5 huns while loosing one french plane.
The big naval battle for the med is going rather poorly for the Entente, but as the Viribus Unitis comes about for another attack run, she's suddenly whacked by explosions from bow to stern while smoke on the horizont indicates the arrival of new ships. Having anticipated the CP naval offensive after them gaining the greek harbors, Royal Navy command has sent reinforcements, including almost their entire sub fleet, and not a moment too soon. The captain of the Jean Bart is later quoted with saying "Never has a french sailor been happier to see british ships". After the battle there are 4 CP ships left in the med: the Prinz Eugen, 1 AH CA, 1 AH sub and 1 turkish PD, the latter 3 down to 1-3 points.
In the Baltic the brave men of the Tsars fleet rally and despite the tragic loss of their flagship, they manage to fight off the onslaught of the Hochseeflotte and force them to retreat.
In the Caucasus and Sinai both sides furiously attack each other with harsh language.
@ OCB:
Just made a screen of the eastern front, however there's now movement, so it's classified at the moment [;)]
After a break for some serious upgrading the Russians just started another big push. As a reaction the Austrians made use of the additional units from the greek front to start a big relief attack out of Galicia in support of the crumbling German front.
Since I managed to kill a lot of German NM in the first two turns, I decided to make it my main target at the expense of everything else. So there has been not much action in the side theatres besides the occasional attacks of opportunity. I even ignored Galicia until Austria ceded to Italy. This literally turned the AH corps into little more than training dummies, so I attacked to grind some HQ XP and took the oilfields in the process. I managed to max out both Brussilov and Kornilov, which is otherwise really difficult with the weak russian units and has proven VERY helpful so far.
