PHOTOS FROM THE FRONT

AAR PHOTOS FROM THE FRONT PANZERCORPS BATTLEFIELD EUROPA 1.09.

AFTER OVERCOMING THE PREVIOUS CAMPAIGNS I ARRIVE AT THE DECISIVE CAMPAIGN ... BARBARROJA.

My point is to make an AAR with little text and enough photos to be able to follow events, it is due, among other things, to my low level of english, so i warn you that i will not be able to occupy your comments or questions so much i would like that.

Naturally a player with my experience and my ideas thanks a mode like this and i want to respond to the challenge



This is the map…



My point is to begin with the historical path:
- total attack against the URSS
- containment against UK before the impossibility of invading UK without the corresponding naval support …. and try to improve by the way a better performance in the Mediterranean and Middle East.

It will be a long and difficult struggle that sure will have many uncertain evolutions, now in the start i can just say after i have read other reports i am convinced of the great importance of taking Malta and secure the Mediterranean air domain as soon as possible, for it after destroying the Soviet Aerial Force, the Luftwafe will focus on this objective, for which a new "expert" will accompany or replace Rudel.





I hope that 4000 points of prestige would be enough!

Little more to say ... I just hope you wished me luck and you do not worship if the AAr advances slowest than you would like.

welcome to the forum and look forward to more of the AAR

The plan of Barbarroja

The advance continue, so many soviet planes are destroyed in earth






6 Agost 1941 (Round 4);

... the german forces have taken Minsk after destroy or surrended soviets units in the area, and the way to Smolensk is open



continue the advance to Moscow and Kiev are the next steps in the russian front.


… and the attack to Malta had begun

.

Looks interesting! I really have to try that myself (once I have the time for it... )

The attack to Malta works good…

This message should be showed at the beginning of the scenario (round 1)





The italian fleet atacks too, but only a few times gets strike the heavy defenses, this is one…

MALTA FALLS! In the 20 setembre 1941 (7º round)



Now, where will the aircraft carrier and the other boats going to Malta go?


(I would suggest putting a photo rather of Italian troops who are the ones who will normally carry the weight of the operations)

Welcome to the new hero




The Stuka of Rudel is more effective againts the few soviet tanks that remaining facing the german forces




After the Malta fall the allied convoy follow continue moving towards Malta (or the central Mediterranean sea), but now begin the air axis forces can attack them with all his power




In contrast, in the fighting around Tobruk, the Afrika Korps has lost its German tank with what is now in a delicate situation.
 

On the other hand the incursions of strategic bombers against the German territory have been cut ... those coming from the west, but strangely several Soviet bombers have managed to arrive and bombard German cities despite being very, very far from their aerodromes ... now we have one of these bombers heading to ... United Kingdom

A question please… If in a turn is raining and the air can’t attack, how is possible that in raining turn the allied bombers attack the germans city?

On turn 9 (almost on the verge of "activating") the siege on the eastern bank of the Dniepper has finally been completed, following the pre-established pattern, and the surrender of the army assembled to the rear of Kiev has been unleashed ... but my impression is that although the deadlines have been met ... in a way it has already been late ...

Who said that, after the fall of Malta, the Alids would not try to retake it?





On the other hand, just as the naval battle in the Mediterranean is going well for the Axis forces, on land the situation seems to be getting worse ... after losing all its tanks in hard and unfortunate combats the British forces send more and more tanks from Alexandria to fight in the area around Tobruk

On the eastern front winter came just with the German troops at the gates of Moscow and forced to go on the defensive (the penalty of losing 1 strength point per turn is nasty ) and now although the front is paralyzed the defensive balance It is quite satisfactory

In the Atlantic since the beginning, underwater warfare has been a high priority for the German High Command, which is why the submarine units have been grouped to intercept the convoys bound for the UK and have been reinforced with long-range bombers.

During the month of February 1942 the weather is improving until the sandstorms disappear in the desert and you can easily see everything ... the English have taken advantage of it to infiltrate their tanks and reach the gates of Benghazi!



It's imperative make... something...now!

Meanwhile the Allies continue to send convoys to harass Malta

Situation of the Moscow front when the good weather starts to appear

In North Africa the surprising incursion of British tanks has reached Benghazi but with no connection with other units now that already the weather is an easy target for the Italian and German bombers




... and then the city is resumed with the help of German Falshijamers and that allows to disembark the reinforcements transferred by sea from the Italian peninsula

On the ostfront and in particular in the Moscow sector it is urgent to continue the advance and definitely take the city for it, although some of the combats have given an absurd negative result. The truth is that Rudel (relatively little active so far) is a great success with the destruction in a single attack of a key Soviet Katiushka unit in the framework of Soviet defensive positions in the area.
