Pearl Harbor Liberated

The former US Naval base at Pearl Harbor was retaken this week without any Japanese opposition. The massive US airraid last month have crushed the Japanese garrison. The remainder must have been evacuated by the Japanese Navy.

Caracas liberated by Allies forces

The US Navy attacked and liberated Caracas this month. The City was occupied by a small Japanese force that was only too happy to sent to USA. It seems the conditions in the city where miserable for the soldiers after Panama was taken and supplies ceased to come through.

The battle for the Atlantic continues

A damaged German sub was sunk west of Brest. It was an easy prey for the USN, and was swiftly sent to the bottom of the Altantic.

Allied retreat in Europe

With another devastating counterattack made by the Axis, the remaining allied forces where ordered to retread back to England. The US and British Navy cooperated in evacuating the remnants of the Allied forces.

Churchill have talked to the nation preparing the British people for dark times ahead. There seem to be nothing stopping the facist threat. The fate of England lies in the hands of USA.

Desperate Strugge in Australia

Everything seems lost in Australia after the large Japanese invasion. Many fine British and Australian men fell in defence of theyre homeland. A minor counterattack was made against Melbourne, destroying several defenders. It seems all is lost againt the Japs.

Well, the Germans have been able to kill the units i invade with every time. And i was thinking they're production would cease with me taking most of the cities

Looks like i havent taken the right cities.

Well, I know from the CDG game that Russia can be a real powerhouse just a few turns after you've secured it. Plus Steph could have rushed stuff in the cities you captured, even though the factories are burned.

I must confess to you that I made several bad mistakes which cost my dearly, folks. Sure I had the production problem which will make me lsoe this game. Anyway, here is the list of my mistakes:

(1) I committed too many troops from the central reserves in the Reich to 2 fronts. I planned to achieve victory in the East as fast as possible to close one front. The idea was not too bad I guess but the mistake comes now: I tried to hunt the Red Army down after stroming the Ural mountains. I realised way too late that the Russians were no threat to my civ no more.

(2) Basically I think that the idea of taking Egypt (where I committed vast forces to) was not too bad. I simply tried to capture the rest of the British Middle East without the proper forces. I should have stopped after Jerusalem or even Suez and prepare my defences before charging on.

Conclusion: I am standing now here, my - now rather - few forces overstretched between the British in the Middle East and the Americans and British in Europe. I was lucky enough to fight you off, Stian, every time you attempted to land troops on European soil. I also have to confess that I always tried to retake each city before I realised that it would not be necessary. Anyway, through the 3 games at CDG I know now much more about this scen which became one of my favourites I fear it would be too late to turn the tide in this game but I am hoping for a re-match when this one is over.

Btw, I think you made a rather great & bad mistake by retreating in this moment as I am moving my scattered troops from Russia back to Europe to try to withstand your invasions. Anyway, I guess this one will be over soon but it IS still great fun and honor to play with you.

Game on!

Hehe, remember you're not the only one with your forces stretched to the limit. There is no way England alone can manage to invade Europe every round With your last counter attack, i had nothing to attack you with except the couple of units i allready had in Europe. Better to evacuate and at least build up for the next invasion

Dammit, you know surface units and bombers can't attack air units! Hell, that mistake's even been made in this game already.

From the readme:

quote: Why can all units attack air units? We noticed through some of the testing that stacks of bombers and tanks, especially in the late war years, were impossible to destroy with regular fighter planes. Because the air unit was on the same square as the other ground units, only a unit that was flagged with the “can attack air” flag was allowed to attack. By giving every unit in the game the same flag to attack air units, it solved the problem of invincible stacks. Now the downfall of course is that air units can be shot down by regular ground units. I have made a house rule, that only fighters can attack air units that are not stacked with another unit. That way, when bombers attack deep into the Reich, or German bombers attack deep into Russia, they must be shot down with fighters.

And the civpedia:



You'll have to replay the turn.

Following this rule is critical. If not, it would be useless to build bombers. If Germany where able to destroy the allied bombers with land units, it would be a waste building them.

Figu, i assume you did use fighters?

Anyway, a replay is needed and we game on.
