Turn 1

Axis launch attack to Polland without airsupport . It is obviously that Max will Bliz low countries in turn 2 .

nothing special ,so no screenshot. The screenshot will come from turn 3 .

Turn 2

Axis dow & conquer Holland ,but Axis did not Dow Belgium . Max said he suppose I will launch Dyle plan , But I give it up since the latest patch against this strategy .

Also seafight around English channel . French BB was sunk . Is it the signal that Max will reject the france peace & go to NA ?

Another battle of the giants. Excellent.

Not necessary. Max just likes desroying stuff.

Don't leave a 4-step air unit in Scapa Flow!

Turn 3 Oct 11th 1939 fair


Axis dowed Belgium & conquer it . Also heavy seafight around English channel . one English BB sunk . RN counterattack sink Axis DD & badly hurt a sub to one step left .

BTW, we found a transport along Scotland coast . Where is he going ?

after move






Scotland coast

Supermax is probably looking for an opportunity to land his GAR on an undefended hex. He knows that you are very aggressive and wants to exploit this.

Also , we found the transport beside Scapa & attack it by BB .

Scapa

It seems that you are suffering high naval losses early on. This is not good, as it will make a potential Sea Lion easier and with Blitzkrieg Supermax will be able to fine-tune his timetable to his liking. Also, even lost naval steps are not easy to replace so early on without a quality loss, because of low British MP.

The good thing is that the Axis' fighters have been heavily battered and it's still 1939, when Germany is not very rich, either. However, since winter is coming, Supermax will be able to repair his fighters quickly without losing precious fair weather turns.

RN have to hold their reputation ! If Hood was sunk by Bismack & RN retreat to Scapa , even Nelson is alive , he will commit suicide because of this ! So RN must fight back whatever the loss will be !

Actually , both Axis & UK are poor in 1939 . But Axis is richer .

Nelson's toast was "a willing foe and sea room" and his general orders stated "no captain can do very wrong if he places his ship alongside that of the enemy", so you are certainly living up to his tradition. However you might be better off promoting him to the House of Lords and bringing in Admiral Jellicoe, who was aware that he was "the only man on either side who could lose the war in an afternoon". Different RN traditions for different circumstances. You can always reinstate Nelson in 1943.

Bad weather save France for a while . At least they will be alive until 1940 .

Hello
a silly question, is this defence of France better than a sea of Garrisons? Thanks in advance.

Define "sea of Garrisons"?
France can afford only 1 garrison per turn at their best.

Yes, I understand only now this is a winter attack after a blitz, sorry.
