Poland fell in October 1939:
Axis attacks a convoy in the middle of Atlantic and gets swarmed by UK and French navy.
Another Axis Sub was found running across it and is also severly damaged.

The damaged Subs move away on their next turn and are invisible again, like finding 2 needles in a hay stack

February 1940:
Axis has now conquered both Holland and Belgium.



Dammit, I realise now I have made a mistakes. After the damaging of Axis sub and with that threat gone I sent all my navy to the Mediterranean to help out when Italy joins. I am missing some ships now which could have been great bombarding the Axis forces along the Belgium coast.

I make some counter attack in eastern Belgium with my french armour and some corps but battles did not turn my way.

May 1940:
Axis pressing hard now in France!

June 1940:
French forces make one desperate counter and manage to kill a German armour south of Paris.



In the mediterranean, Allies invade Italian Libya and use naval support for it. Some naval combat in the mediterranean with 2 Italian naval units sunk.

July 1940:
France surrender.

i was lured to attack his tranports, and his fleet hide in a very good place that i can find none of them......
the other sub has a very bad luck, it just stand in the way of a XXXXXX french ship, tragedy started then......

ok, i got it. i just wanna be the axis and more devoted to this aar, in one word, virtualise it

March 1941:
Alot of stuff has happened, Allies took Libya and Sicily. Axis show up with plenty of subs and navy in the middle of the Atlantic. Allies have started bombing Paris getting casualties and discover Germany has AA technology. Nice counter!

Axis invade USSR already in March now.

Axis advance and take Kiev, USSR Commander Konev was injured. USSR counter further south but without a leading Commander it goes abit sluggish.

une 1941:
Axis has at leist 8 subs and they are winning the battle of the Atlantic.

the point is i am not sure whether i can win the war in MED, and it looks like i lost soon enough. i leave africa and tranport the garrison to sicilly, but with his royal navy, sicilly are covered with bombs. finally sicilly fell without a doubt. i believe the wolf pack would ask them to pay back!
our admiral is working out a plan, solve the problem once and for all, he announced that sure, we can trust him, i know that!

January 1942:
Finally the Russian winter arrive, giving the USSR a bit of breathing space. But it is already over, Axis are driving towards Kaukasus and the tremendous Russian casualties take too much time to rebuild.

Shury is using a "Go all East" strategy with Axis but my counter is too late. The suprise when Axis showed huge Sub force has taken time and effort to secure the Ocean again and the pressure went away on France. In fact, both UK carriers are sunk so there is no good bombarding force in the west. USSR will be toast when Spring arrives and Western Allies will not be quick enough to land in France.



By the way as can be seen, Windows did not capture this screenshot correctly well at leist the land ownership shows the situation.

Allies have much better air tech in the west, winning the air and bombing Paris, Brussles and Hague to pieces. USA forces arrive to land in France, but we are abit late. Moscow is soon conquered by Axis, Kaukasus is losing ground. Stalingrad still holds firm though.

come on man, after moscov, we go directly peru to drink vodka there. who cares about Stalingrad

and forget to mention, US send numerous troops towards england, and we intercept them, though losses are very high due to lost of air superior, we still manage to scare them a lot, good lesson for those GIs
