Could you please post the game date when you make a post? I haven't memorized how turn numbers correspond to dates yet It would make the action easier to follow. Thank you.

How is your oil situation? You seem to be a fan of air power, and in that case you will need to watch your oil stockpile carefully. Capturing the Middle East is the only way to guarantee a stable supply, but be aware that your opponent may choose to mount a strong defense. Germany has to be efficient with oil from the get-go, or it will suffer for it later in the war.

Turn 18

The Panzers are given bigger teeth.


Italian Navy and Airforce watch for the British Fleet as Italian ground units transport to Libya.

The crossing was uneventful. Libya reinforced.

Turn 19
Sept 15th 1940

German Infantry cross into Yugoslavia. All Quiet on the North Africa Front.

Turn 20
October 5th 1940

The Infantry upgrade. Two turns ago my Panzers upgraded.

This is part of my overall strategy. Going into the Soviet Union I think I don´t need a very large force but a very elite force. Could be an error, we will see. Perhaps both will upgrade once more before the attack begins.



Stuka Dive Bombers making things easy for the Infantry in Yugoslavia.

Turn 21

I feel myself pulled East.

Turn 23

Turn 24

Yugoslavia surrenders.

Turn 25
January 13th 1941

After PanzerGeneral flooded the North Atlantic waters with escorts I sent my Uboats into more southern waters. Scored a nice attack on a convoy. Didn´t see any escorts.

Turn 26
February 2nd 1941

North Afrika turns into World War 1 with both sides afraid to leave their trenches.

Turn 27
February 22nd 1941

All is quiet.

Since you didn't capture either England or the Middle East, your best chance at victory now is an early, powerful thrust into Russia. Go as soon as you have sufficient forces and make Moscow your main target. If you can take that much ground in 1941, it will be difficult for the Soviets to stop you, even with the aid of the western Allies.

Turn 28
March 14th 1941

The build up for an invasion of Russia is underway with tight security and the beginnings of a West Wall.

Turn 29
