World War Two Scenario - 1939

	To better understand what was going on in Europe between 1939 and 1940, let´s see what each country was doing:

- Germany: Conquered: Poland, Denmark, Norway, half of France, Belgium and Holand.

- URRS: Conquers part of east Europe and begins constructing it´s borders defenses expecting a German attack for 1944, but it comes in 1941.

- France: Declares war to Germany and is conquered. Part of it´s troops retires, part supports the Nazis and part resists and fights with the british.

- England: Declares war against Germany. Soon attacks Norway, but withdraws after the defeat at Dunkirk. Withdraws troops from France, fights in Africa against the Italians. Invades Iraq due to local pro-axis unrest. Atacks french Síria, faces the Japs in Burma, faces italians in Somália. Invades French Madagascar. Faces unrest in Iran and bombs and is bombed by germany;

All that before 1941....

Poland and European east

The Polish forces totalized about 1,35 million of soldiers in
39 divisions of infantry, 900 tanks of war, 4300 parts of artillery, a small naval fleet that sailed for England, 435 airplanes and 11 divisions of elite cavalry. In game terms I will assume thus that 20% of the Polish army were
modern and we get: 10 mosqueteiros, 3 machine gunners, 2 Huntings, 1 Tank of War, 3 cannons and 1 artillery.

The German troops approximately totalized 1,85 million of soldiers in
55 divisions of infantry, 3100 tanks of war, 2085 airplanes, 10000 parts of artillery and spies. In game terms, we will have: 19 machine gunners, 6 Huntings and 4 bombers, 10 artilleries, 3 tanks of war.

South German army - Attacking for the Eslováquia, Silésia and for the Moravia - 7 machine guns, 2 tanks of war, 4 artilleries, 1 huntings, 1 bomber.

Army North - Attacking of the Eastern Prússia - 6 machine guns, 1 tank of war, 3 artilleries, 2 huntings, 2 bombers.

Army West - Attacking for the Prússia Occidental person - 6 machine
guns, 3 artilleries, 1 huntings, 3 bombers.

Cortaleza de Modlin - 30 kilómetros to the north of Warsaw, this old fortress constructed for the Swedish and active in the Napoleonic wars if became an obstacle for the armies German in 1939. Defenses: 2 machine guns and 1 cannon.

Defense of the Cities: Each city I possessed two mosqueteiros in the defense, totalizing 1 million of soldiers. Lvov I still possessed a machine gunner and a cannon to correctly
totalize the numbers of the combat against the Russians. Warsaw I still possessed two aircraft and a cannon. Cracóvia I possessed an artillery and a cavalry. Posen I possessed a cavalry.

The Russian troops of invasion of the Poland consisted of: 1,5 million of soldiers, 6191 tanks of war, 1800 airplanes and 9140 parts of artillery. In game terms they are: 10 mosqueteiros, 5 machine gunners, 9 fighters, 6 tanks, 6 cannons, 3 artilleries (33% modern). They had attacked for the Ukraine and the Bielorussia.

A troop of similar size invades the Balkans and the Moldavia.

The total Russian troops will consist of 5 stacks, containing each: 4 musketeers, 2 machinegun, 2 tank, 1 artillery and 2 cannons.

Italian campaign in the Africa

"Only during the period that goes from Oct. 1, 1937, you the Jan. 31, 1940, were sent you Libya 14,000 officers and 396,358 soldiers, and organized two armies-the fifth and tenth. This to latter had ten divisions. In the same period were sent 1,924 Cannon of all calibers and many of them of recent construction and model; 15,386 machine-guns; 11,000,000 rounds of shells; 1,344,287,275 bullets will be light arms; 127,877 tones of engineers ' materials; 779 tanks with certain percentage of heavy tanks; 9,584 auto vehicles of various kinds; 4,809 motorcycles."PART OF SPEECH DELIVERED BY PREMIER BENITO MUSSOLINI Rome, Italy, February 23, 1941

I go to consider this as being the equivalent in game terms: 3 mosqueteiros (to represent all the decay of this army), 1 in each Italian city in the Lybian.

In the border with Egypt, ready for it attacks it, they will be: 1 machine gun and 1 tank of war.

The amount of Italian parts of artillery is disappointing, sufficient only for 1 part of artillery.

With certainty the advance of the British in the Lybian will be fast
as it was in the reality, but had the geography of my scene, Germany will not have to send troops to this region. The Italian ones simply go to fall in the rhythm that the long roads
of the Lybian to allow.

Desire that the Germans start with at least 1 battleship. Thus, the amount of ships of great transport that they have will be the
lesser unit for the battleships. Germany has 2 Battle-ships, 3 Armored Ships, 2 Heavy Cruizer, totalizing 7 ships of great transport, while England I possessed 33. Rounding off, I will give á England 5 battleships. Each 7 ships of great transport make a unit of battleship. Each 40 destroiers, throwers of mines, torpedo boats, ships of escort and other ships of small transport make a unit of
destroyer. Each 50 submarines make a unit (the submarines are lesser). Each 50 units make a small boat torpedo boat.

The Call you Power II introduces a unit of small boats torpedo boats. A good idea, but they had unhappyly gained the improbable ability to detect
submarines. The lesser historical reality in hunting small boats of submarines
does not exist, thus I will remove this and I will transform them into units with
enormous attack, but small defense. Destroiers will gain the ability to detect submarines.

"In addition you the heavy warships the Italians possessed large
numbers of destroyers, torpedo boats, 106 submarines and bases almost perfectly positioned astride the
sealanes through the Mediteranean. Taranto especially was strategically located and in 1940 was one of
the most heavily defended anchorages in the world.”…."Supporting the battleships were six heavy and twelve to other
cruisers"

They also counted on 6 battleships and no aircraft carrier. I go to consider them as having 2 submarines, 2 France and England and Germany will have 1 submarine each (many in
production in Germany).

Final naval forces:

England

In the Sea of the north: 2 battleships; 4 destroiers; 1 Aircraft carrier; 3 transports;

In the Mediterranean, in Suza initially: 1 Aircraft carrier; 1 battleship; 1 to destroier; 2 transports;

In Gibraltar: 1 battleship; 1 destroiers;

In Malta: 1 submarine; 2 destroyers; 1 small boat;

In The Indian Ocean, next to India: 1 battleship; 1 aircraft carrier; 1 to destroier; 1 transport;

France

In The Atlantico: 1 battleships; 2 to destroier; 1 submarine;

In the Mediterranean: 1 battleship; 1 to destroier; 1 small boat; 1 submarine; 2 transports;

Germany: 1 battleship; 3 destroiers; 1 submarine; 2 transports;

Italy: 2 submarines; 2 battleships; 2 destroiers; 1 small boat; 3 transports;

Polonia: 1 to destroier;

Air Force

	It is is an extremely delicate part of this work. I discovered that each possuía nation is extremely difficult to get a trustworthy analysis of how many airplanes. The German Air Force seems to be  studied while I found nothing meeting on the total amount of British aircraft; It has stories of that Germany fought with 4 a thousand airplanes
during the war, being half bombing and half Fighters. Others say that they had arrived to produce up to 20 a thousand airplanes in one year alone! If they only lost a fleet and they amused it for month. Worse still they are the stories of that half of each Air Force did
not take off due to parts, defects, etc.

	Germany will be the only country to start with Bombers, but in this scenario the Fighters also bomb (weakly it is clearly).

	I create Air Forces that do not unbalance the game, and here goes:

Final Air Force:

England

In house: 7 Fighters;

In the Mediterranean, in Suza initially: 2 Fighters;

In Gibraltar: 1 Fighters;

In Malta: 2 Fighters;

France: 4 Fighters;

Germany

To attack the Poland: 4 Fighters; 6 bombers;

In house: 3 bombers; 2 Fighters;

In The Norway: 1 bomber (only possuía the Norwegian Air Force 200 bombers);

Italy:

In the Lybian: 3 Fighters;

In house: 3 Fighters;

Polonia: 2 Fighters;

URRS:

Attacking the Poland and the Balkans: 9 Fighters;

In house: 9 Fighters;

Armies

I will try esteem how many welded each possuía army to all and
later placing the units.

Italy:

	Had 2 million soldiers, or either, 20 units of infantry. The Italian army was had during the extremely badly armed war as, with low absolutely inefficacious moral and. I will assume that it is an army equivalent to the Pole, with 20% of modern units.

In the Lybian: 3 mosqueteiros, 1 machine gun and 1 Tank of War.

In Albania: 3 mosqueteiros and 1 cannon.

In Italy: 1 mosqueteiro in each one of the 9 cities. 2 Fascists defending Rome and Milan. 2 Machine gunners in the north to attack France. 1 Cannon in Venice and 1 Artillery in Taranto.

Other Countries

Iraq: Population of approximately 4 million. Initially independent, but one raises pro-axle leads to a British invasion with 100.000 soldiers. Armed Forces of 40.000 men, insufficient for 1 unit in each city, but I will go to consider that Iraq possessed 1 mosqueteiro in each
one of its 3 cities (Mossul, Bagdad and Basra)

Irã: 16 million people. Minimum army, it is invaded by the allies to facilitate I transit it of suppliments. I will consider 1 mosqueteiro they in each city plus one Fighter in
the capital (had 200 airplanes!).

Lebanon: 800 a thousand people. Minimum army. 1 French mosqueteiro;

Syrian: 3 million people. Minimum army. 1 French mosqueteiro.

Turkey: 18 million people. Reasonable and independent army. 1 mosqueteiro in each one of the cities, 1 cannon, 1 artillery, 1 cavalry, 1 to destroier, 2 Huntings and 3 Machine gunners in: Ankara, Istambul and in the border with the URRS.

Bulgaria: 6 million people. Lined up with the axis, had 200.000 soldiers in the beginning of the war, to put passed to 500.000 in the end. I will consider 2 machine gunners, 1 cannon and 1 cavalry in the beginning of the war.
