Progress on all fronts is adequate. We are having strategy sessions within the high command. Possible future operations include a focus to the southeast and Balkan campaigning. Heading through Turkey, hopefully with their consent, and into the Levant would give Great Britain real problems. Another option under discussion is the invasion of Great Britain itself. This is a daunting task, but one that is within our grasp.

How do you like the Third Reich mod so far and what are the key differences? I hear it has fewer (or no?) events but know little else.

Good luck with your further endeavours - I will follow closely.

It is fun doing an AAR again. I am not sure I have seen many events so you may be right.

I am not sure I am expert enough on the differences to know.

The British have arrived in considerable strength at Bardia, and the supply strapped Italians are not ready to meet them. Supplies are suffering from the attacks out of Malta. We are consulting with the Italians about possible resolutions of this thorn in their side, all of which involve heavy Luftwaffe participation.

In Yugoslavia we press on in a campaign which will take sometime. Unless the British send troops into the Balkans we will crush the Yugoslavs, in more or less time.

The Army and KM have conducted lightning campaigns in Denmark and Norway, and both countries are under our control.

These successes have caused great joy in the Fatherland, as has our progress in France, and the Balkans. Much thought is being given to possible future campaigns. The Italians are under significant pressure near Bardia. The British have a big advantage in number of units there.

Our campaigns progress satisfactorily.

We provide a map of the Italian positions near Tobruk to illustrate the British attack there.

France has left the conflict. Immense excitement throughout the population, but in command councils we know that there is Great Britain, and Yugoslavia yet to deal with. The Luftwaffe is moving to the coast to face the RAF. We have begun the battle to take and hold superiority over Great Britain. We are also consulting with the Italians about Mediterranean prospects.

Eight months ago we were stumbling into Poland, and now our arms have gained the Reich security, and wealth.

We continue to make progress in Yugoslavia, but the British are pushing hard in North Africa. The Greek option is looking better all the time. Success there may draw the British away from their campaign near Tobruk. We are tempted to cast the dice now with a premature declaration of war just to call their hand. We address the British in the skies above southern England too. We will consider an invasion of Great Britain, risky though it is.

(Posted 1 May 2012

72 years have passed since those May days in France, 1940. This all seems so famillar to me now, and not old fashioned. I guess the wars of our childhood stories seems fresh for our lives. My father fought in the Pacific, and I was born while he was in Toyko Bay aboard the battleship Idaho. World War Two was almost current history to me as a child, and still seems fresh now. Yet surely it must all seem dated to those born years after me.}

We are furiously exploring options to counter Great Britain. Driving through the Levant and into Egypt has an exotic appeal. The Turks may not grant passage, but a campaign to subdue them is not beyond possibility. Reinforcing the Italians in the desert is a more likely scenario. Great Britain had best watch their own defenses, as we are examining a campaign there too.

Things are going badly in North Africa, and we have decided to support an operation against Malta.

In Yugoslavia Split has been captured and powerful German forces are heading south toward Greece. Other forces are driving on Belgrade.

The preparations for an invasion of Great Britain continue.

We continue to move forward in Yugoslavia, where we can actually fight. Near Malta, all is preparations, although we have attacked the Malta garrison a good bit. Our assault there will come as soon as we have an excellent chance.

The Italians have holed up in Tobruk, with one weaker unit adjacent to the port to prevent investiture. We want to send help there but the British will make it very difficult to get in at Tobruk, and Tripoli is so far away.

Finland and the Soviets : The Finns have carried the "Winter War" into the Spring. They have stood up to the Soviets, and despite losses are strongr now than when the Red Army invaded. They are pressing on Leningrad, not expecting to succeed, but wanting the Soviets to feel the pain of war on their doorstep. The Soviets are slippery, and sneaky strong, but the Finns continue to resist.

Panzer Brigade 101 reports being pushed back, wiith losses by strong Red Army forces including major armored units. Soviets incursions into the Generalgouvernement were confirmed by other units. There are reports of Soviet incursions into Romania also.

All forces of the Reich are immediately to consider themselves at war with the Red Army.

Units are to concentrate on probing and recon. High command wants information about the quantity and quality of Red Army troops as soon as possible. Luftwaffe assets will be in short supply, but will concentrate on recon.

ALL WEHRMACHT TROOPS ARE IN A STATE OF WAR WITH THE SOVIET UNION.

Status: offline 		I was not helping Finland in any way, other than playing them as human controlled. There is no event in the reports that indicates a Romanian connection, but the fact that they are at war with the Soviets makes me think it is an AI response to the Bessarabia issue. The Romanians were under AI control, as was the USSR of course.

I see there is a patch to avoid this happening too often, but I am not sure it is not already incorporated in version 1.1.

It wiggles a bit, but I would not call it a bug unless it happens all the time. I think it is cool that it might happen as it encourages a garrison force in the East. I had just enough there to cause the Soviets some problems. They do not seem to have prepared this attack for a long time, probably a hasty attack.

Many plans are being put aside. The campaign against the Soviet Union is worisome. This is a powerful enemy, and an immense country. We were caught by surprise, but it seems the Red Army was too. We are beginning to get an idea of the enemy's capabilities, and they do not indicate a carefully planned attack. We need to deal with Great Britain, and with this new enemy.

The British have arrived at Tobruk with too much, too soon. We are going to have to move along the coast, an immensly slow process. German help is going to be in short supply with war in Russia on the front burner.

We are pleased with the flow of battle in the East. We did not want this war, at this time. However it may have come at a worse time, and we must fight the battles we have.

The Command Authority (Political) has decided to create a new nation : Croatia. This was against OKH advice. We do not need the complexities of managing minor powers in the East. We welcome them as allies, but wish another decision had been made.

Our desire to invade Great Britain has really interferred with the campaign in Russia. Our current strategy is to deal with both enemies as needed, realizing that this means simply grinding away in the USSR. We will not be on the defensive, but we have no particular strategic goals there. We expect superior operational excellence will result in higher casualities for the Red Army. When we have the right force mix, and sufficient strength then we will drive in the center and south, with the Baltic countries and northern Russia being avoided.

We continue to train the airborne unit for a drop on Great Britain. We have absolute air superiority, and are comfortable with the Luftwaffe's ability to keep sea lanes open once we have a port.

In the East the Red Army seems to have attacked with no plans for taking any ground, and we are not able to take much either so it is low intensity warfare just now.

The situation in North Africa is unfortunate. We are much too cramped to manuver, and the British are swarming our position.

We make progress in the East, and are planning the assault on Great Britain. These are very busy times.

North Africa : Why are we here?

Great Britain presents a multi headed threat to the Axis. In a certain sense the English speaking peoples present this threat, as we expect the United States will enter the war against us unless we can end it before that occurs. If we are at war with the great land power, the uSSR, and the great sea power, Great Britain and the United States, then we must address them both. The southern flank can be defended in Italy, and the Balkans, or it can be defended across the whole Mediterranean. If we can get a strong position in North Africa then we would prefer to meet GB/USA there.

In North Africa we cannot unload reinforcements at Tobruk and are about to choose Tripoli instead. This involves a major test of patience as the marching across the unimproved coast "road" is a miserable logistic nightmare.

Our airborne division is less than a month away from being in drop ready condition on the French coast. We see no signs of the British being worried about a strike, but we are serious. The success at Malta convinces us that we can take a port this way. Holding it against a determined enemy is another matter, but the British will miss the powerful forces in the Middle East, and those lost in the Battle for France.

We are still hemmed in in North Afrika, but have decent strength inside the pocket. We are concerned about losses to the Italian Navy from Royal Navy air craft. The British now hold Bengazi, and fighting our way out of such cramped quarters is daunting.

In the East we are doing waht we must. It is apparent that, despite their declaration of war, the Soviets are not going to be going on the offensive any time soon. We do not have the mass to consider strategic decisions as to points of attack. We attack everywhere, and defend everywhere. We can not build a reserve, so we are trying to keep the Soviets off balance. As they become stronger, and we slow, perhaps we will be able to make the southern bias we now show into an actual strategic decision.

We want to look at our other major focus now, the Sea Lion invasion of Great Britain. We intend a coup de main, a single Fallschirmjäger division will attempt a landing, and capture of a port. Once the port is taken, the transports and barges we have assembled will be convoyed across by the navy and Luftwaffe. We are confident in our troops once they get ashore, but the airborne operation is a huge gamble.
