Nie poddamy sie! (Poland, 1936, 1.3v, normal lv.)

[Forster]

American nazi party wasn't that weak. Roosevelt walked a fine line because so many people supported the Germans. If I remember my history correctly, the country was pretty evenly divided, though most wanted to keep out of the war. That all changed after Pearl Harbor. Had Hitler not declared war in support of Japan, things might have gotten interesting.

1 January 1944 – 1 February 1944

The Netherlands

The Soviets are still holding positions and waiting for an order from Murmansk.

Operation Prometheus

On 2 January 1944 the majority of Soviet North Army surrendered at Pskov. The rest of the army surrendered in other separate pockets.

The North offensive continued smoothly. Polish broke through at Leningrad and took Vipuri and subsequently Petrozavodsk. Another group shattered defences at Tihvin and destroyed a half of Soviet Karelian Army. Another part of the Karelian army counter-attacked at Tihvin-Vologda sector.

At the same time Polish cut off Murmansk railway and reached Arhangelsk surroundings. The Soviets start suffering supply problems.

However, the Central offensive bogged at Volga River.

The situation in South became not very promising.

Recon brigades successfully waged guerrilla warfare in Caucasus against overwhelmingly stronger the Soviet Caucasus Army. Guerrillas were able to cut off Soviet supplies routes and secure Groznyj, Baki and Tbilisi. An offensive at Batumi was repulsed.
However, French 4eme Armee was battered by the Soviet divisions trying to cross Don River, and Volga River at Stalingrad. A lonely French division is also desperately defending in Astrahan.

Fortunately the Soviets soon will feel lack of supplies which could lead to complete halt of the offensive in the South and Caucasus.

Retreat to Don.
Concentrate what you can to encircle as many Soviets in the north as possible.
But you really lack divisions to hold the line.

I have tried my best

Just finished reading the whole thing at one sitting...superb! That award is truly deserved.

Thank you.

Great AAR, amazing feat to survive as Poland, defeating Germany and pressing hard on Sovs ?!?! Well done.
Last screenshot of Feb 1 also particularly excellent with boxes illuminating specific battles. Very nice.
Good luck holding southern front, looks like you are still up against it...

 

[alvaro]

I think that you should retire from Stalingrad. Maybe to Crimea and prepare a trap. Looks much easier to trap russians in the south than in the north, doesn't it?

 

[unmerged(191325)]

Hmm, well at least you cut off the bulk of the Russian divisions in the south from their last port. Hopefully that will starve them of supplies soon. But if worst comes to worst, you could always pull out of southern Russia for a more defendable position. But that would be a lot of land lost...

Also, how many brigades are in that Soviet stack in the Netherlands?

 

[alvaro]

how rude of me, congrats for the aar. I am new here but I've been lurking it for sometime now.

great AAR
teach those russians who's boss

What have you got in the pipeline?
If you can kill those few units behind you in the south, you might be able to firm up that front.

Thank you, Pudd1nator. Welcome to forum

I think you are right. I am ready to send 2-3 Polish Corps from North as the operation there almost ceased. I could then use them to entrap the Soviets.

I hope too. Without supplies I wouldn't need even defend Caucasus as the Soviets could not enter already occupied territories. Similar thing happened in Moravia-Austria when with much smaller army I was able to herd the Soviets and subsequently destroy them.

There are 30 brigades or 10 Soviet divisions in the Netherlands

Thank you. I will!

I have one undermanned French division guarding South West Caucasus and 2 AC brigades roaming Caucasus. In total 8,000 troops versus 10 Soviet divisions and 2 HQs – in total 96,000. I am not sure if I can kill even one unit I just use guerrilla warfare in Caucasus and keep 10 Soviet divisions busy in Caucasus, but my ACs are running out of supplies too now.

 

[Enewald]

They won't run out of supplies for a long time, most of their supplies never are in their central stockpile, but flowing thither and hither throughout the entire nation recklessly.

You're confusing opposition to war with support for the Nazis.

http://staff.imsa.edu/socsci/jvictory/wwii_antiwar/time_pub_opinion39.html

The breakdown would have been about
30% for entering on the side of the allies.
10% for entering on the side of the axis.
45% for neutrality, but allies if necessary.
15% for neutrality, but axis if necessary.

Keep in mind this is before the fall of france, the battle of britain, and the invasion of the soviet union. On December 6th, 1941, I would estimate public support as about
50% for entering on the side of the allies.
2% for entering on the side of axis.
40% for neutrality, but allies if necessary.
8% for neutrality, but axis if necessary.

Obviously after Pearl Harbor, nearly everyone supported war with the axis.

This AAR. Is just. Awesome.

2 February 1944, The Great Victory!

On 1 February 1944, Polish troops took Arhangelsk, the only remaining unoccupied Soviet port which could receive supplies from Murmansk became Vladivostok. The Soviet North Army was destroyed. Karelian army was crippled. Caucasus Army became immobilised. The only remaining active army was fighting in South against exhausted French 4eme Armee. However, the Soviet South Army was very well aware that Polish are sending reinforcements which could turn the table around.

Following negotiations, the Soviet and Polish generals met in Moscow. On 2 February 1944, Soviet armies capitulated and laid down arms. Soon after that the Soviet Army in the Netherlands surrendered. However, the Soviet government escaped to China and refused to surrender.

man, give us a map, an overview of your economy, a something else.
now this was kind of surprising.

 

[Enewald]

The whole union surrendered to you?
You got a better peace than the germans would have.

1 February 1944 – 1 March 1944

Following the Soviet capitulation, 4 Polish airborne divisions were flown to Irkutsk. Two divisions soon invaded Tannu Tuva and two – Mongolia.

On 20 February 1944, Mongolians were pushed from Ulaanbaatar and on 21 February 1944, Tuvans retreated from Kyzyl. However, just before Polish divisions entered Kyzyl, at the request of Tuva's Small People's Khural, Tannu Tuva was formally attached to the Soviet Union. The agreement was signed by both Governments-in-exile in Di Hua (Sinkiang).

At the same time Chinese successfully pushed Japanese and Dalian.

Territory Division


Almost whole Soviet Union was occupied by Polish. British took Estonia and Latvia up to Daugava River.

Sinkiang took an opportunity and occupied South Tajikistan, separating British India from Polish.

Unfortunately, the Soviet division in Belgium Congo remained loyal and refused to surrender.

I'll think twice next time before asking mnplatic for a map

I will go through some old save files and prepare a separate report about the whole war

The whole union surrendered to you?

Yes, but I wanted them to completely surrender

I hope only you saw that oversized map :rofl:

 

[Forster]

I am surprised the Soviets went to China. I would have expected total collapse. Oh well, now you have a new target to play with.
