Yet Another After Action Report: Stalin Takes It All

[unmerged(16031)]

Or for short, YAAAR: STIA

Country: Soviet Union
Difficulty: VH/F

Story begins...

STAVKA, Moscow, Kreml whatever:
Stalin:
"Hello comrades. I have made up a super sneaky plan, that we will use to conquer the world."
Comrades: Silence.
Stalin: Silence.
Soldier, pointing his gun at the officers:
"Come on, ask him 'What super sneaky plan"!"
Officers:
"What super sneaky plan?"
Stalin:
"We will start the 2nd world war in 1936! First we will attack to the Baltic States, then we will declare war to Germany and attack them. After that we will ask Poland for military acces and attack through them to Germany. Once we have conquered and annexed Germany, we will attack Romania, Hungary and Austria, in that particular order. You ask how we can conquer them all with this rather big army of ours? Well simple, we will build 99 cavalry divisions!"
Officers:"Why do we need to build 99 cavalry divisions?"
Stalin: "Because this was at first supposed to be a Mongol Horde AAR, but the writer changed his mind and instead tried a stupid strategy playing as SU."

1936:

-January:
All Soviet Armies are ordered to move to the Estonian and Latvian borders. Stalin gives command to build 99 cavalry divisions.

-February:
11th, War is declared to Latvia and Estonia, SU armies rush to attack.
30th, Latvia is annexed by Soviet Union.

-March:
Estonia is annexed and war to Lithuania is declared. Few days after Lithuania get's annexed too.
20th, our armies are now near "Prussia" and war is declared to Germany.

-March 1936 to January 1937:
Our armies dance all around Baltics, unable to kill the bastards. Germany launches several amphibious operations to Estonia, Latvia and Odessa, but they all of them are beaten back.

1937:

-January:
Poland grants us military acces, time to start phase 2 of..umm phase 1. 18 divisions are ordered to move into Torun, while the 21 division are stationed in Konigsberg. The rest of the forces are guarding Estonia, Latvia and Odessa from possible attacks.

-March:
Stalin decideds to purge the traitors.

-April:
1.-8., German forces attack us in Königsberg, after their latest attack fails, I decide to start the counterattack. Forwards, for the communism! Kill the capitalist pigs!

-April to May:
Our attack fails, and our armies retreat to Poland because of the German counterattack. Germany advances all the way to Daugvapils and Liepaja(Latvia)

-May to July:
The glorious Soviet armies counterattack(9 new super sneaky cavalry divisions take part in the big offensive) and Germany eventually get's encircled and loses all it's divisions. What a glorious day!

Our intelligence officers report that Germany has only a handful of divisions left(18).

Part II

=Stalin
= Zhukov

Kreml, again:
:
"Now it has come time to start the second part of my glorious and magnficent plan."
:
"Interesting comrade Stalin. But may I ask where are all the other officers?"
:
"Well. Some are in the front, fighting against the fascist pigs, and the others are in Siberia...mining steel for our tanks."
:
"We have tanks?"
:
"Not actually. But we have cavalry!"
:
"Can I lead them?"
:
"Not possible. You are a panzer commander, I canno't let you command some puny horse armies....anyways, let's attack Germany now"


-August 1937 to September 1938:
Soviet armies, total of some 50 division, mass to the Polish-German border. As the inital attack begins, the masses of soviet forces breakthrough the german defenses easily.
However, by some miracle a lone german division beats back a whole army group(10 divisions) of Soviet forces in Dresden. Obviously this was due to the assault over the river.

Slowly the soviet masses gain the upperhand, and Germany is about to fall. Then from somwhere 50 divisions of German militia appears, and since the Soviet technology sucks like a b...the militia divisions beat back all our attacks. And not only that, but for a moment they are about to encircle and destroy them all.

But no problem, Stalin said, and sent 27 cavalry division to the rescue.

Eventually there were some 150 Soviet division fighting in Germany, of which 90 were cavalry divisions. And as always, the Soviet horder with the quality of quantity, pushed back the german militia divisions.

1939:
-January:
Austria gave us military acces to their country. This gives us a nice opportunity to go around the river lines that are protecting the fascist pigs of germany.

-March:
The last German VP province was captured with an attack of over 100 divisions versus 12 german divisions. The battle didn't last long at all.


Note:
I screwed up badly in the beginning of the campaign. I almost captured all of Germany with minimal losses. But then I did some assaults over rivers, and was beated back, and thus Germany got time to build Militia divisions.

As a result I probaply lost like 1500 MP.

Part III

Berlin
Stalin:
"Now that we have conquered Germany, we will move to the next phase of the plan. Or was it that we continue to plan 2?"
Zhukov:
"We continue to the next phase of plan 1"
Stalin:
"Hmm. Yes, I think so too. Anyways, now we will increase our industrial base, invest on technology and build some more armies."
Zhukov:
"So we upgrade our indrusties?"
Stalin:
"What a great idea! We have plenty of 1 IC provinces, we must upgrade them. But my plan was to invade Asutria, Hungary and Romania."
Zhukov:
"We are kinda low in manpower, the war with Germany and our countless stupid assaults cost us millions of men. Those darn cavalry divisions take too much casualties."
Stalin:
"No problem, just disband some uneeded cavalry divisions."
Zhukov:
"Allright. Let move the armies then."

The build up and war with Japan

1939:

-September-December:
Our armies are in positions and war is decalred against Romania. The Soviet armies quickly capture several Romanian provinces, and even reach Ploesti. But the the Romanian counteroffensive pushes us back to Iasi and Pietra Neamt.

1940

-January-October:
So we go for a diffrent strategy. Some more troops are broguh from Guarding the western frontier, and and assault past the mountain provinces and to Beltsy and Chisiau is launched.

For start all goes well, but then our armies are bogged down. Damn rivers and damn mountains. More and more forces are brought from Wester frontier. Now our border with France isn't guarded by a single divsion...not that it needs to be guarded since the cowards won't declare war to us anyways.

Once the reserve armies arrived, the major offensive was launched.

We launch simultanous attack into all of their provinces, and eventually wear the enemy down. A month after the offensive began, Romania becomes part of the great Soviet Union.

Also we finished the 1st industrialization plan in April, and we soon after start the 2nd industrialization plan.

-November 1940 to April 1941
Our massive armies gather on the Hungarian border and attack is launched.

They are no match to our armies and fall in few months.

After that the Soviet horders are moved to the Austrian borders, and a war is declared. Again the country falls without much trouble. Actually it was no trouble at all, the capital was attacked by 111 Soviet divisions.

We also finish the 2nd industrialization plan.

-April 1941 to February 1942
We simply build up, work the dissent down and research new technologies. We also begin to build our first tank army(9 divsions of light tanks).

In February 5 of 1942 Japan declares war to USA. We instantly start to redeploy our forces to the Japanese border.

-March to April 1942
Our forces are ready and war is declared to Japan. Total of 70 division will take part in the first strike. Unfortunately we take a 20% dissent hit from declaring the war(separately to Manchukuo and Japan, grrr), but nonethelss our armies start the attack.

At first the invasion goes well, and we are able to capture many provinces, and almost annex Manchukuo.

-May 1942 to January 1943

The attacks and counterattack sweep through the provinces, as both sides ferry more and more troop to the battlefield. At one point it seems like Japan is gaining the upperhand, as they manage to encricle and destroy a whole 11 cavalry division stron army group.

But as Stalin orders more troops to the front, and as the 9 nwe tank division led by Zhukov himself arrive, the tide turns and in January the Japanese troops are on full defensive status.

-February to November 1943

As the number of division is tripled the Soviet offensive finally catches some wind. Also the allies finally gather themselfs and land in Japan, conquering it apart form 2 provinces.

Soviet High Command decides to land a lone division in Shanghai. Stalin is surprised when he hears that the division has alone conquered 4 provinces and not a lost a single soldier doing so. The Japanes don't bother to counterattack from some reason.

The main attack goes well and the Japanese armies are cut form their supply sources. Some hundred...thousand... men are lost but by November 1943, the last Japanese division in China(in the province of Linxi) are destroyed.

Well not all. Japan still controls some Korean provinces, and Stalin decides it would be a waste to attack a mountain province guarded by 20 divisions.

In the meantime, the Italian armies have managed to conquer yugoslavia all by themselfs, and declared war to Greece, and thus are now in war with Allies.

Soviet High Command gives orders to leave 30 division in China to guard the borders while moving the rest division to Europe, to the Italian border.

Build up

-November 1943 to January 1947

Not many records were held of these build up years. For one we know that SU invaded Italu, and captured all of former Yougoslavian provinces, as welll as taking some Northern Italian provinces.

Secodnly we know that the 3rd industrialization plan was finished, which raised the Indrustial capacity from 800 to 1080.

Several years were used to develope technology and build up the armies, and by 1947 USSR had over 400 divisions.

That is when Stalin decided that it was about time to wage war agianst the "Democracies" of the west.

And oh yeah, several countries were influenced and asked to join our alliances.


Next, the War Against Democracy

 

[unmerged(11439)]

good luck agaisnt the Capitalist. Are you working on an A-bomb Project? It'd be cool to see the major cities leveled.

 

[unmerged(16031)]

Actually, as I started researching in only 1939, and properly in 1941 my research is kinda screwed.

I got only 2 techs researched in nuclear, also my air&sea techs are screwed. But I have researched all land techs and industrial techs, as well as all land doctoriens except the helicopter one...

Kreml, Moscow

Stalin:
"Now we have finished the final stage of our industrialization plans. And therefore plan 1 is completed. It is time to start the first phase of the plan number two!"

Bodyguards:
"Sir, yes, sir."

Stalin:
"Anyways, the plan is following: We will declare war to Poland and the attack them and after that we will conquer all allied states. After that we take all neutral states, and thus make everyone in the world love communism."

Bodyguards:
"Sir, yes, sir."

Stalin:
"Yeah. Im off to Siberia now to hide in a bunker. Those allied bastards might have nukes…"


History:

All in all the Soviet Juggernaut fielded around 460 divisions.
Our intelligence told us that our three main enemies fielded together 827 division, of which 204 were French, 257 English and 366 American. Of course together with the other pitiful countries this amount will raise above 1000.

But no fear as Great Comrade Stalin said.


The Great Plan:
The plan for our armies was a simple one but still an effective one. We would attack in Poland, UK ocntrolled Italy and in French controlled China, everywhere else we would stay in the defense. We would not at any stage come to the help of our allies, but instead wait they get annexed, and then conquer back those areas(Comrade Stalin thought this up himself). Once we would have had taken Poland and UK held Italy these armies would be re-directed to attack into France and then the rest of Europe, after that Asia shall fall.

-January:
1st to 15th:
Our forces attacking Poland face minimal resistance at first, but then enoucnter some divsions. Zhukov and his 9 tank divisions are first stuck at fighting 4 polish divisions, soon however the poles send reinforcements, and so do we, and in the end there were about 40 divisions fighting against each other.
Poles offer some serious resistance, but they weren't of any match to our mechanized armies. Half of Poland falls in 2 weeks.

In Italy the English divisions are defeated ridicilously easily, Italy, excpet for Sicilia, is in our hands.

In Greece our armies face some resistance and are now stuck in the mountains. However reinforcements are on their way.

In Asia the US planes do continous bombing runs against our industries. Allthought they don't do much damage we send 3 interceptor squadrons there. We also start to build 18 new interceptor squadrons. Allthought frenchies manage to capture some of our provinces near Shanghai(protected by 1 inf division), we launch our attack and the french are now running.

The air war in Europe goes well.

16th to 28th:
In China the offensive proceeds as planned, allthough we lost one division in Shanghai. Nevertheless we are soon in French Indochina.
The strategic bombers ceased to be a nuisance, we think that the US government decided to move them to bomb Europe to replenish their high losses there. So far they've had minimal succes with their bombing campaigns.

The situation in Greece got better and the offensive is in full swing again, it also seems that Turkey took some action and invaded Greece also.

In Italy UK loses all of it's divisions and several bombers squadrons as we take over Sicily.

Poland falls on the 28th, we prepare to move our armies to the western front. Some forces will be sent to act as border guard duties in Balkan and Italy.

 

[unmerged(16031)]

-January 28th to April 24th1947

The war goes well indeed. Comrade Stalin's plans seem to be very werll thought out. Greece fell shortly after Poland had been conquered. After that we sent most of the troops to the western front, not including some 30 infantry and cavalry divisions that were given jobs to guard the recently aquired territories(Poland, Italy, Greece).

By 5th of March all the forces were in positions to start the major attack, all in all about 150 divisions took part in the attack, about half of them were tank or mechanised divisions. Also 15 fighter or bombardment squadrons took part in the attack, but they played no major role.

Belgium and Netherlands fell in a few days, and our forces were at the gates of Paris in the 15th of March. However the frogs had somehow managed to gather plenty of divisions to protect their realm, and since they were also protected by the river line, we decided to attack somewhere else. So 9 tank division were sent to attack Rouen.

The plan worked and soon frenchies had about 30 divisions fighting in Rouen. And as they moved more and more division there, we sent our main army to attack Nancy and Troyes. The battle lasted long but by 3rd of April we finally defeated the french scum and quickyl sent more troops to exploit the breakthrough.

The border of Nationalist Spain, also an enemy of ours, was reached on 20th of April. By now we had already divided France into half and the mopping up was about to begin. However before we conducted operation mop up, we had to reinforce our tank and mechanized divisions that had almost all suffered 50% losses.

In Asia we did fairly well too. What little forces they had there were swept away, and French Indochina is now within the grasp of our forces. India also declared it's independency, which supposedly makes GB a far less of a threath. Also the dissent is now gone, thanks to consumer goods, and thanks to our conquests our production has reached 1600 IC's.

The americans have been busy bombing our Far East, and apart from one lonely division in Calais, there haven't been any US troops in Europe. Unfortunately they were succesful in destroying one of our armies which was guarding Ocha. Whole 9 divisions lost.
The allied bombing campaigns have almost ended, as we now have 9 interceptor squads in Far East and in Europe they have lost their Strategic bombers long time ago.
