Status: offline 		Now then gents im playing EA again on the 3.4.202 patch,Im the Axis in this one and my opponent Tran is Allied,I have decided to take the extra troops while my opponent decided against the extend maginot line option.
My first turns were used to prepare for the invasion of Poland i sent 2 Infantry Corps by sea transport to East Prussia while my Panzer and Motorised forces will spearhead the invasion from the western borders supported by infantry,Below is the map of the first weeks action the Poles despite being pounded by the Luftwaffe held up well but suffered heavy losses so week 2 should be a little easier for the Whermacht.

France and Great Britain have declared war on Germany i will deal with them later although i am already railing troops west from Poland as the campain there is almost complete.

The Belgians have allowed French & British troops to enter there country but they shall be dealt with,Im using the TO attack the Low countries so will have a shock bonus for two turns starting next turn.Here is a map of the starting positions.

Did you guys really do 40+ turns of EA in a couple of weeks ?

Please keep up the AAR (if not that killer pace of turns).

After the fall of France Germany turns its attention to the Balkans and along with its Axis partners Italy,Rumania and Hungary invades Yugoslavia,Week one of the attack goes to plan as progress is made towards Belgrade.

The Yugoslavs have surrendered and the Axis southern forces plan there invasion of Greece,The DAK and the Italian 10th Army have stopped there advance to recover and build up supplies.
The long awaited invasion of the British Isles has begun after a succesfull initial landing the attack on London has begun i appear to have caugh them by suprise as London is lightly defended but i dont think for a minute that will last.

Probably light defense due to UK surrendering after 'BIRMINGHAM' falls, eh? Tho there seems to be reason to believe that you've really caught them with their drawers down, Ian!

"Surrender
The United Kingdom surrenders following the loss of Birmingham, and small, weak Pro-Axis forces will be deployed in the UK. About a year after the surrender, regular German coastal defenses and naval guns will have been built in most of the ports."

62,44 (London)
This will cause a 20% drop in Allied replacements for about eighteen months

62,39 (Birmingham)(5) Allied loss
Loss of this hex leads to the surrender of the United Kingdom, after a 1-4 turn delay. Some guerillas, land, air and naval units will fight on (‘We shall never surrender’ - Churchill)

No surrender just yet my opponent seemed to think defending the north of England was a priority hence the reason London is lightly defended ive spoken to my opponent as i wondered if they where all sent to North Africa but they are in the UK just in the wrong place

London falls to the Germans after desperate fighting giving the Germans the vital supply hex that they need more and more German Infantry units will be sent over to finnish of the British,The USA has joined the war on thew side off the Allies.
In North Africa the Italian 10th Army and the DAK are resting at El Alamein before they attempt to capture Alexandria and Cairo
