You,Our Hearts and our AARms we give!

[jonie-dinofreak]

It has been 4 years now, 4 years since the axis invaded our country, disrespected our neutrality, 4 years of misery, death and pain ... for the axis that is. The players remained the same for 4 long years.
The axis exists of the frustrated German people, their puppets,the Slovaks, the ambitious Finns and the Romanians.
We are part of the Allies, protectors of freedom, peace and... money, when the allies wage war money is always involved.
Guess it's time to tell who I am, right?
The truth is I don't know who I'm supposed to be, am I an important player, just a peon, am I a human? Who cares anyway? We're all dead the moment we get in a war, huh? Well I am a normal soldier in the 4ème division d'Infantrie/4de infantriedivisie. That's right a soldier in the weak Belgian army.
Today we are the 1st of August 1944.

​

This is how the front looks like for 4 long blasted years.
I wonder when there will come new players in the war... I really do.
Oh, and my name is Jozef Jansens.

3th of august 1944:
I'm waken up by the seargent... again.
"Jansens wake up the germans are attacking dammit!","huh? again? Don't they ever learn?"
I ran to my post like evryone else and there the germans charged...

​

"How many divisions are it this time sir?", "Well Jansens this time it are only 60 divisions."
Only 60... We might be declared mad,but last time the Reich sended us 78 divisions and we held our ground... long live our fortifications right?
It was just another day at the frontline...

​

Our division lost 9 men in this skirmish... Johan,André,Pieter,Dimitri and 5 men of other sections, there are only 2 ways out of this hell... Dying or losing something important. It suprises me that I'm still here, 'cause I lost my sanity years ago, long years ago...

------------------------------------​

I'm using the C.O.R.E. mod to make this AA, hope you'll have a fine time reading this and will update as often as I'm capable to,
greetings,

Hmm, I'm quiet suprised you managed to hold out for 4 years as Belgium with such limited Allied support. Did you hedgehog yourself in (land fortifications), or are your armies really that vastly superior to the Germans?

Land fortifications and industrial research all the way

21th of august 1944:
Dear journal,
I've just arrived at the frontline in Antwerp, my division,the 15ème division d'infantrie, has been added to the GHQ. I am part of the Self Propelled Artillery brigade and had months of training that prepared me for hell. Let's hope it will help...

22th of August 1944:
Dear journal,
today the germans tried to accomplish the thing deemed impossible,they tried to take antwerp. They failed... for now I lost dear friends in this fight... forgive me, but now I'll mourn, who knows when it is my turn....

​

They told us there weren't that much divisions,but they still outnumbered us with their superior tanks they call "Tigers" and "Panthers"... guess we were lucky.
They also told us that for evry allied soldier 30 germans died,don't know we have to believe that... the killing is too much here,just too much.

​

23th of august 1944
The seargent calls... the germans attack again,wish me luck...

​

Note from Seargent José Lambert:
Private Declerq died whilst running towards his Self Propelled Gun by a lucky artillery shot from the germans, we hereby send his diary and this medal for his service and loyalty to the Belgian Army .
---------------------------------------------
Liège, Private First class, Jozef Jansens:
Today the 24th of August I've been promoted because of an event that eventually might lead to the victory of the allies, at least that is what our crappy government thinks.

​

our government that is the same for 6 years by now,maybe even longer, they are happy in their precious Brussels far away from the frontlines, the cowards.
The event is just a small non-agression pact yet they think the best of it...

​

10th of september:
The government announced that our industries are even more effectiver now and of some charity work in the colonies... WHY WOULD WE SOLDIERS ON THE FRONTLINE EVEN CARE? Evry day we could die and they don't even bother about giving a couple of soldiers a day off, those poor kids want to say a goodbye to their families but aren't allowed to...

​

Those cowards in Brussels also gave us the deaths and kills of the Belgian army as they are on the 10th of september.We should be proud... they say, we're tank killers... they say, the germans fear us... they say. You guys are idiots... I say.
The losses:

​

And the kills:

​

Apparently we are the 5th biggest murderers on the planet and we should be proud? We should be ashamed... deeply ashamed... and the hell is far from over.

 

[quaazi]

*cough*

How has Germany lost 560 convoys to british ONE?

 

[jonie-dinofreak]

*cough*

How has Germany lost 560 convoys to british ONE?

dunno,for some reason the convoy raiding effectiveness of BB,CV and so on beats the raiding of Subs seriously... and I didn't see so many german ships at the moment (and if that is weird then it is good for you to know that I never had escorts and still lost some :rofl: )

 

[ThatUglyGuy]

maybe if you get slaughtered tacticaly, the soviets will attack?

23th of september 1944:
​

Yay, even more charity work... the Lt.General sended a message to know why we needed all this infrastructure in the Congo...this message he recieved:

"Lt. General Collyns,
We recieved your message and the answer is simple.
We make sure the Congo is this, because we know that the Italians will think like this that even our colony is richer than them and we could buy them easily province by province. This will make them so angry they declare war on us and then France can easily march into germany through the backdoor.
Or, the Italians are that scared that they will try to do evrything to come at our side. Anyway a win-win for us.
Greetings,
The legal and official government of Belgium"​

The funny thing is... our Lt.General actually believed it, now he is the laugh of the army. Personally I think he should be put out of command because of this,but I don't decide things....

28th of september 1944:​

Scheldued for today, hell for the germans on a scale that has been around a year ago like we did it before...
-----------------------------------
Seargent José Lambert

28th of september 1944:​

"Sergeant, we moeten de vijand beshieten!""What?" Who decided that the Belgian army should have 2 languages, it's not possible to fight like a unit,like this... "We're ordered to shoot on the enemy with the artillery!" "All men to their posts!" We were ready for the firing, this morning would be special I felt it and it would be...
Aachen was our target we prepared to leave it in ruins...

​

The hell began for the germans this time and we promised them we would only stop until we were outta ammo,our retaliation for our dead and our lost neutrality.

​

The germans tried to silence us but they won't have that luck,never!

2nd of october 1944:​

​

This was just round 1 and Aachen is only a smoking ruin, I wonder what they will look like after round 2...

​

Round 2 ended with a research... High command ordered us to stop,maybe the germans wanted peace, now.

16th of October 1944:
​

The germans gave up the attacks on us for a while,we also heard they will build new radar stations to give us better protection against the axis air force... they apparantly forgot that they are non-existant anymore it has been since the Slovak planes in 1940 since I saw an axis airplane, well guess someone forgot to tell that to that idiot of an armanents minister. Oh and in Berlin by christmas? Yeah right... christmas 1989 if we ever get out of this, well heard a german prisoner use the following word and found it a good term for this situation, Sitzkrieg... the germans ain't all bad I guess...
-------------------------------------
Here are some pictures to show what divisions are where so you guys can follow up if I mention a division in this Sitzkrieg:

think they only go in the war 1 year after the creation of Vichy-France but don't wanna find out

 

[unmerged(166917)]

WWI all over again (far less casualties though), quite impressive !
If the Soviets decides to make a move, the Germans are toasted.

The comintern will make a move in the next post,but probally one that you don't expect

Seargent José Lambert, 15ème division d'Infantrie

28th of october 1944:​

Our army group recieved a new division, 2 more divisions are scheldued for our army group, then a new army group is planned if I should believe the rumors... I hope they're correct.

5th of November 1944:​

The army had something to celeberate, so I once again recieved a promotion, if I get another promotion before the year is done then I'd think they all became crazy. I don't know why we are celbrating the remaining independence of Tanna Tuva (where the hack that is) anyway. The government said something about heroïsm,influence, example for the world,bla,bla,bla...

8th of November 1944:​

Do the americans even care about us? They held an election whilst we are dying! We are the only thing that stops the nazis from their advance into Europe and a total world war on american soil in time! And they just let us,the French and some thousands of British die while they worry about what they should wear tomorrow! Darn yanks.

9th of November 1944:​

The world just ignores us,expect for the charity in Congo... I'm about to be sick because of this...

​

15th of November 1944:​

A glider crashed on Belgian soil,all troops inside are dead, now the Germans gave us (without knowing it) a top secret document... Apparently their doing a winter-offensive they try to nickname 'the Battle of the Bulge' and Liège is the Bulge... To mock them we decided to nickname the 7ème division "the screaming Pidgeons". EAT THAT GERMANY! Hmmm,getting crazier evry day, darn hellhole.

​

The germans surely don't have respect anymore for their leader.

22th of November 1944:​

Small change of players in the game... the brits lost a minister and a general,the USA lost a minister and the Germans lost some generals, evrybody's happy now... especially we,the Belgians.

​

-------------------------------
Don't be too angry for the German invasion plan pictures, it's my first try to do stuff like that

 

[unmerged(166917)]

I'm curious, how many divisions the Germans are supposed to have ?
And how many in the Allied side ?
And btw no war in Asia ?

 

[jonie-dinofreak]

The allies have 521 divisions in total (will insert the army comparisation chart in the next update).
The war in Asia is indeed halted for some unknown reason (don't know wheter it is because Japan only annexed China in 1943 or whatever the reason is), though this game has had another couple of rarities in it, the SCW dured till 1942 without even anything happening on that front for 3 years.
And the german amount of divisions is 278 divisions, don't know wheter this is normal or not. However if the war with Japan doesn't start in December 1944,I'm just going to DoW those japs,so I can report of huge changes at the frontline at least

Quite a lot !

Thanks !

Pretty original indeed !

You're tired of static warfare already ?

 

[Psychedelic Sou]

I think the AI has been programmed not DoW the Soviet Union when France hasn't been taken out yet. Maybe let them take France out and move into hedgehog mode?

 

[jonie-dinofreak]

I won't be able to make a real update with pictures and so on till thursday,however I'm able to post this small Teaser. Hope you'll enjoy it

Corporal Jozef Jansens
" Sir, we've got to pull back ", "The orders were clear Private Bert,we have to attack Arlon. This is our only shot". The offense was failing,the French already stopped,we had to retreat but our Company's Captain didn't want to listen to what we all had to say. "All other Companies are already pulling back under the cover of artillery fire","Then we'll make sure they get out!","But...","End of discussion,Pr...",A sniper took out our Captain,we retreated as fast as we could,knowing many of us could die. "Come'on let's get outta here!" We kept running towards our bunkers,then another shot "Jozef don't leave me here!","Bert,I'm coming!",Bert was my little brother and he got hit in the leg... I ran as fast I could... Bert was in cover behind a blown jeep, "Only 30 metres,hold on Bert!",I thought I heard a sound,so instinctivly I ducked,and waited , and waited for 5 minutes and then, a loud bang, I looked up, the jeep was gone...Bert was gone, I am responsible for the death of my little brother,if I hadn't stopped...

23th of November 1944:​

I woke up,sweating, my skin pale, I had the dream again, it happened 4 years ago by now, the last allied offensive... I always have this dream on this day...
"Hey corporal,had a good rest? They're thinking about who gets Nobels this year", they were ofcourse those darned Swiss...

Will post the real addition Thursday, I promise,if I don't you're allowed to slap me in the face

 

[unmerged(166917)]

I won't slap you, nice mini update.
Four years since the last allied offensive ! Static warfare, really !

1st of December 1944:​

Our men are celebrating the food production has been increased, we can feast!

​

Now if you excuse me... I got some food to inspect.
---------------------------------------------------
Corporal Jozef Jansens

5th of December 1944:​

And more charity work has been done... oh I hate this government,I just freakin hate them...

10th of December 1944:​

We recieved a new instruction to have even more superiour firepower, we're waiting for you Germany!

​

We heard rumours that there are plans for a new army group,only rumours for the moment.

11th of December 1944:​

NOBEL PRICES,NOW? The world lost it's mind... especially with that peace prize... oh bloody hell, I'm sick of this war.

​

On a happier not... elections in Ireland,no actual report though, ah well who cares about the Irish,right?

19th of December 1944:​

There are new models of Self Propelled Guns made. Aachen prepare for the rain of shells! We shall not show mercy... once our SPG's are here of course...

31st of December 1944:​

We recieved the current kills and losses reports of the Belgian army, the result of 4 years of wretched fighting and dying, 4 years of losing friends,brothers,fathers and sons, 4 years since we last saw our families, 4 long years that we look upon the same enemies and see them charging upon us and then pull back like the devil is on their heels... maybe he is, my new objective will be: kill the one responsible for all of this... kill Hitler...

​

---------------------------------------------------------
Hope you enjoy this new addition,and I think you'll be able to guess what kind of doctrine way I'll be going once my current ones are completed

 

[unmerged(166917)]

Lots of casulaties, although much less than WWI, especially for the Germans and the French.
