Info: With the conclusion of our Kaiserreich MP Game, we move on to Vanilla! :eek:
We play every Saturday at 18:00 - 22:00 CET. (17:00 - 21:00 GMT)
And we use a program called Gameranger.
We are always looking for new/sub players. We have a list of rules here:
http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?505800-HoI2-ARMA-1.3b-multiplayer-on-Gameranger
Main Rules: (A more detailed list can be found at the link)
Players will play these countries, divided into 3 fixed factions:

- Axis (GER, JAP, ITA, Nat. China - puppeted as soon as possible by Japan and released immediately as a standard ally)
- Allies (UK, US)
- Comintern (SOV)
- important:
Germany and Italy can manually DoW anyone except for the SU from the 1st Jan 1941 (Barbarossa is on historical date 22nd June 41)
Japan and China can manually DoW anyone after they join the Axis (not sooner than the historical Barbarossa)
SU can manually DoW anyone from the start of Barbarossa
the Allies cannot manually DoW at all
7. Historical events

- choices in some key events must be picked historically (whic are Danzig or war, Marco polo incident, Molotov-Ribbentrop pact) but others can have different outcomes (for example: UK supporting Republic Spain in SCW, SU annexing Finland in the Winter war, Slovakia to Hungary in The end of Czechoslovakia event etc.)
11. Military access

- military access is forbidden with the only exception:
- military access between Allies and Comintern is allowed. But it applies only for air and naval units (NOT land units). This means, for example, that American bombers can rebase to Soviet territory.
12. Combat

- surrounded troops cannot be disbanded
- redeployment of units in provinces bordering the enemy is forbidden

Manchukuo - The Worst Nation in the World
screensave0e.png

Doomed to wait until the Spanish Civil War starts, I take my exile in the now known worst possible place in the world, the barren, Japanese-controlled nation of Manchukuo.
screensave1.png

My nation, and her corrupt ministers, along with that..........King. I obey the will of my master. For now. A barren land with 2 provs. worth something. If i were to try to sell them to Russia, I would have to pay them to take it. I wish i had enough money to pay them. :(
screensave2.png

While i languish in this barren, godforsaken land, Italy goes on a sloowww march to Addis Ababa.

Spanish Civil War
Fighting against the AI, Might as well declare Nationalist Spain the Winner! Later, a player takes Rep. Spain.

The Spanish Civil War began on July 17 when a attempted coup was started by right-wing forces, including Carlists, Fascist groups, and colonial troops from Spanish colonies in Africa. Opposing them? Aside from the Republican government, various syndicalist, communist, and anarchists groups, along with anti-fascist groups. Supported by the Republican Coalition were the United States, the British Empire, and the Soviet Union. The Nationalist revolt was supported by Germany, who sent the Condor Legion, and Italy who sent the Corpo Truppe Volontarie (or Corps of Volunteer Troops). Various foreign volunteers joined both sides of the war for various reasons.
(This is a Summary of the in-game involvement)

The coup succeeded in La Coruna, Burgos, Huesca, Saragossa, Sigenza, Salamanca, Seville, Malaga, yet the majority of the Spanish Army remained loyal to the Republican government, as well as the airforce. Nat. Spain had the advantage in the seas however.

By August 7, a human player had taken Rep. Spain.
My troops withdraw to Seville, attacked by enemy planes, and encircled and besieged, i decided to rescue as many divs. as possible and use them up north, in hopes of stemming their advance.
screensave20.png

screensave21.png

Ignore what i say in the last screen. And no, Seville does not fall so easily. :)
 
Operation New Dawn

Update from this past Saturday.
The Fall of Seville​
screensave1.png

As Seville is besieged in the South, in the North, the smaller Nationalist forces are forced to retreat and dig in, while watching their territory be reduced. The Major Powers friendly to the Republican Government blockade the ports under the control of the Nationalist revolt, and "attempt to blockade" those under Republican control. Meanwhile, all coastal movements are monitored by these "neutral" ships.
The Governments friendly to Nationalists have reported that Aid to them is not able to bypass the blockade, and many are reported to have returned home.
screensave0f.png

The Siege of Seville lasts a whole week, allowing 4 divisions from Africa, and Southern Spain be evacuated, while holding 6 Republican divisions in the south.
screensave3m.png

Woe is me.
screensave4z.png

screensave5.png

Nationalist Forces retreat from Madrid, entering all hopes of taking the Capital, while fast-attack units raid Saragossa.
screensave6.png

screensave8m.png

The German Volkman, does not do much better. On and off, forces attack and retreat.
screensave9n.png

Meanwhile..........Operation Desesperación begins. (Desperation) (I used Google translate :D )
Operation Desperation​
 In a desperate attempt to regain foreign support, and more importantly, to release pressure from the Northern Front, a Amphibious Invasion is planned.
Forces:
Main Naval Fleet (activated after first landings)
Submarine Fleet: Blocking the Strait of Gibraltar (2 lvl.1 Subs)
Transport Fleet: 3 TPs. : First Landings on Barcelona, Valencia, and Murcia.
Land Forces: 3 Militia Divisions, Landings at same time, for max. Chaos
screensave10.png

screensave11.png

screensave12.png

Plan: Send TPs out of Atlantic, to the Azores, cross into the Strait, and land in assigned locations. Land, Raid, Withdraw to TPs. Send TPs into Italian waters, while hunting any Rep. Naval units using the Main Naval Fleet. Rebase to Mallora.
screensave13.png

screensave14p.png

screensave15.png

With the help of Italian Spotter Ships, TPs, sent troops to defend various locations, and withdrawing to avoid enemy air attacks.
screensave16.png

However, you can only do so much with 3 militia divisions, so i withdrew with the intention of storming Seville, raid it, and retreat to Northern Spain.
screensave17.png

screensave20.png

Didn't work, and i lost 3 militia divisions. Date: December 5, 1936.

The End of the End - Operation New Dawn​
Date: January 20, 1936.
screensave23.png

screensave25.png

The Last Offensive launched on 1/20/1936 against Nationalist forces in Burgos. To make sure, there would be someplace for the retreating forces to stop and defend, The Fast-attacking troops broke and fled to La Coruna, with the infy. divisions breaking a day later. Oviedo, her fast forces broke to La Coruna to set up a defense with 2 inf. divisons expected to defend the mountains as much as possible.
screensave26.png

screensave27.png

The famed German, Italian airmen were soundly defeated in the skies, and the Nationalist Navy, locked in port without fuel, prepared to scuttle the fleet. The planes, with no fuel, were destroyed, and her pilots, foreign and Spanish, began fleeing to Portugal, or if they were lucky, the TPs holding the ministers and top military leaders of the Nationalist revolt. These TPs would sail into the seas till they reached Kiel.
The Naval Blockade had all but depleted the Nationalists of resources, supplies or fuel, so much that Border skirmishes occurred on the Border between Portugal and La Coruna, with Nationalist troops shooting their way through Portuguese army troops.
screensave28.png

At Midnight, April 8-9, the TPs fled the harbor, and fled through the Allied Blockade to Germany. At 6:00 am, the Republican Army, comprising of 27 divisons centered on La Coruna, clashed with the remnants of the Nationalist Army. By 8:00am, the Second Battle of La Coruna was over.
The Republican Government had smashed the Nationalist revolt, and now controlled the whole of Spain.

No idea how. BTW, Embargo is word for ships spying on me, and reporting it back to Rep. Spain. Rules were no allying until France, unless by event. Also, Player vs. Player in Spain.
The Shame if i got defeated by the AI.

I'm not the AI! I was Rep. Spain and I led it's army to victory (in an amateur's way) I could have been more careful but I didn't want to pause a lot and I also felt that victory was secure. :)
Btw no mention about my "operation mocking bird" and capture of tenerife and it's valuable for Nat. Spain 1 IC - I wonder why it's not been reclaimed as I had no no navy!

I guess no time, more important landings..

- military access is forbidden with the only exception:

There was no breaking of the rules :)

i appologize, i thoght it was ai since the aar writer said "uh oh nat spain might as well be declared victorious" and i thought it was ai, of course i kinda was surprised how well the ai handled, so now you cleared that up for me.


millitar acces allowed between comintern and allies? that means that, if uk falls, allies still will bomb the hell out of germans...
