Global Domination 1938 AAR

Post by ernieschwitz »

Not sure how much of an AAR this is going to be, i think it may be more of a story (from one side, that of Germany) of how events unfold in the game of Global Domination 1938, that I am playing at the moment with Bombur (France, Great Britain), Jeffrey H (Soviet Union) and GrumpyMel (United States, China).

Anyway, here goes...

1938 January

Hitler has been preparing the Anschluss for months now, and in january he decides to annex Austria. A highly successful parade is held in Vienna, celebrating the coming home of the German people to the Reich. Hitler promises prosperity and the union of all German People.

Secretly a conspiracy has been worked on in Denmark, to replace the current goverment, with a Pro-German one. The plan unfolds without a hitch. The neutral goverment is toppled and the Germanicly friendly Danes celebrate, as a new Right Wing goverment is established. Hitler quickly recognizes the new goverment.

Speaking of secret conspiracies and toppling of goverments. The Soviet Union has been working on several coups in the Balkan area. The Abwehr is able to use the attempted coup in Rumania, to stage a counter coup, and the Rumanian people decide to embrace the new Right Wing goverment.

Unfortunately the Abwehr is not able to prevent coups in Turkey (which aligns with Great Britain) and Yugoslavia (that aligns with the Soviet Union.)

Also in the News:

Venezuela decides to emmulate the Germanic way of life. A right wing coup, brings to goverment a head of state friendly to Germany. The Kriegsmarine has expressed great interest in the Venezuelan offer to refuel and supply German uboats and surface ships should they come visit.

France signs a pact of mutual assistance with Luxembourg and Greece. Great Britain signs pacts of mutual assistance with Norway and Belgium.

Latin America and the Carribean: The united states signs a pact allowing American bases in Cuba. Coups in Nicaragua and Honduras end in pro-american goverments.

The shape of the coming conflict is taking form. Diplomatic coups are reaching the end of their time. War is coming.

Indeed, Jeffrey H. Indeed.

Feb. 1938.

The Fuhrer is able to convince Hungary to join the Axis. Czechoslovakia is now completely surrounded, save for it´s borders with Poland. Surely it would be suicide for Czechoslovakia to join in a military alliance with any other country than Germany. In secrecy the Czech goverment rounds up innocent German people in important positions and accuse them of wanting to start a coup. Nothing could be further from the truth than this, the Fuhrer thunders in one of his speaches from the Reichtag.

In other news, Albania is convinced by Mussolini to join in an alliance with Italy. Mongolia is merged with the Soviet Union, and a coup in Finland brings about a government friendly to the Soviet Union (several prominent politicians are shot, but this is the way of things).

... ladies and gentlemen... so far this thread has been exclusively history (what has been going on), now we break with tradition, skip a month forward in time, and go directly to the Fuhrers live speech as heard on the Radio.

[center]Image[/center]

"... and we will not let these acts go unpunished. The Czechs have wrongly imprissoned free and innocent Germanic people. No nation would let these acts go unpunished, if they where against citizens of their own kind. Do you think the british would let anglo citizens be imprisoned by lesser nations, if they where innocent of their crimes. No, I say. No! No! NO!. Why should germans act more kindly to these kinds of oppression than anyone else would? I ask you! No there is no doubt in my mind had these acts been made by say China then there would be international uproar. Why oh why would germans not react to such things. So today, at 6:45 I made the decision!

(loud and thundering applause)

Since this morning, at 6:45, a state of war has existed between the Czech Republic, and the German Reich! Even now our glorious arian troops are marching towards Prague, to free the subjugated Germans living in this country, and to free the innocent citizens of Germanic origin being held captive by these people. Already now Bratislava has been freed, from the tyrany of this so-called democratic government.

(even louder and more thundering applause)

Our friends, in Hungary have been lent a hand to free some of their foreign nationals as well. ... This day will go down in history as the day Germany stood up to foreign demands and orders, and said, no more. We have our pride, we have our history, and we have our purity of spirit and race. I say once again: No More! Never more!

(loud claps and spontanious bursts of "Sieg Heil!".)

And to our worried friends abroad, we say this. Do not fear Germany. We have no aims beyond freeing Germanic citizens and upholding their rights abroad. If you are a friend of Germany, you have nothing to worry about. No, you shouldn´t worry, you should be proud. Proud of a nation rising to it´s feet and standing up ready to join the other civilized countries of the world."

(The crowd erupts in shouts of "Sieg Heil!" and the transmission ends)

March 1938.

The Reich is quiet, albeit, that is a thing that will not last. German citizens enjoy their structured way of life while German diplomats and officials work behind the scenes.

Meanwhile the Italian goverment is enjoying some successes. A coup in Persia ends with a pro-italian governemt, and a botched coup attempt by the british in Portugal, results in a right-wing pro-italian regime. The two new allies that the italians have now are making them bold. Perhaps they will try something rash soon...

The Soviet Union is embarrased to report that a logistics SNAFU has resulted in the issue of live ammunition to some of it's forces conducting mutual training exercises in a Baltic republic. We are working to resolve the situation. It appears that a consensus meeting in the capitol will take place next round.

In other news, the Danish, Soviet Baltic and Finnish fleets exchange peaceful greetings off the coast of Sweden, demonstrating the mutual respect the governments have for each other.

Not sure, depends on censorship ;)

On a more positive note, Germany celebrates its complete conquest of Czechoslovakia.

Man, those Latvians are a tough bunch. They are holding up the entire Soviet Western airforce and have chewed up at least 3 Sovient infantry units. Oh and also, the entire Baltic fleet capable of bomberdment and the entire Soviet artillery corps.

The Latvians have finally been eliminated. The Estonians were next, they went relatively quickly. My forces are gaining some valuable experience. I finally spent some quality time with the production, whew ! that's a lot of stuff to keep track of. One question, how do I get research ?

Research is auto generated, and dependent on the number of major capitols, capitols and research centers one owns. You get 100 research pr. turn for each major capitol, 50 for each capitol, and 25 for each research center....

You can build extra research centers with engineers, and you can conquor the rest...

Well France GB and Russia declared war on Germany. The Germans are much tougher than the Baltic minors! Russia has had some successes, and some defeats. Pictures will disclose sensitive military information.
