I need some advice:
After my Stukas have to leave for their secret mission in north-east, how can I protect my Italian BBs against Brit subs? I'm going to have this problem for several years.

Yes Morris make this very annoying When you stay in port they are harder to attack so it may become ineffective.

Greece campaign continue . Since so many Luftwaffee's Stuka , Greece won't hold long . UK just hold their responsibility to the last minute of Greece .

I wonder if this kind of overkill operation was justified. I'm not going to lose oil, but maybe I'll suffer unnecessary air casualties when mecs could do the job with less pps.

You did really not appreciate the happy life you enjoys !! Without Stuka's bomb , you will pay more blood & more precious time !

Diseaster turn ! Greece surrender ! RAF was badly hurt by the Italian corp ! the mainbody of RN's Med fleet was trapped around Greece & it looks hopeless to escape under the attack of the whole Luftwaffe's free fuel Stukas !

It's good to have at least one tactical victory in this game: locking those CV and BB into a trap.

I didn't have courage to send a BB to finish that 1 step FGT in NA.

Dec 24th 1940 winter

Merry Xmas !

The Itlians try to steal Crete ?! It is really an impossible mission for them !

The world is quiet & wait for the Barbarosa in the coming new year !!

Since there are some quiet turns before the Babarrosa , not many interesting screenshots from Allies side . But Pekka told me he has some screenshots from Axis side for the Barbarosa preparation .





Feb 2nd 1941 winter




Allies almost conquer Lybia .

Yes, they are coming. I want to show how labs and units developed during the spring when there were battles going on.

During French campaign I was insecure about how to use my pps. Now I think I should have given strict priority to labs, but during the campaign I felt I have to hurry, so I bought some labs little later. The result was that I had to start Barbarossa with some almost ready tech.

It seems there is some difficult to provide the Babarosa preparation screenshots , so I will just begin the AAR of the Barbarosa !

Barbarosa

May 13th 1941 fair

Axis finally launch a powerful Barbarosa on the expecting date ! The invation troops include 6 arms 7 mechs 5ftrs 7tacs (including minor & Italians). They also send two transports to land in Crimea . Germany 's fleets also join the attack ! Russians have no choice but run away as fast as possible !


Meanwhile ,since we had a house rule of no landing in France in 1941 , we send our fleet to Med & try to do sth during this vacation .

To help Stalin survive from the Barbarosa , RN is ready to do sth help Stalin !

Barbarosa is still going well . In the north , Axis cut off the link between Moscow & Leningrad . I don't think Leningrad will be hold anymore . In the south , They attacked Rostov !


To save Stalin from Barbarosa , RN & 8th army launch an attack to Sicily !
