CC#13 - Axis at War (from Darek's PG2 archives)

[panzerdarek]

Darek's CC#13 at 100%
Axis at War (by Puma), with Base efile, PG2 1.02G exe, completed in May'2003

I never played this campaign and even any other with Base equipment before. It may be interesting but I’m afraid that 47 scenarios long campaign can take 2 or 3 month – I haven’t too much time for playing nowadays.

1. Madrid

Purchased: 3x Pz IID, R1 (recon), 3x Fallschirm,

This scenario is not very different comparing to standard Blitz.
Enemy airforce was not superior and my fighter with Dev Fire 88mm FlaK easily deal with them. Unfortunately I quickly lost my core recon – it was overrun by BT-5 tank. I quickly bought new one - together with bunch of Pz IIs. During hard battle around VH with AT-bunker one little tank was blown out. Excepting these two loses ground forces advanced without special troubles and captured all flags – leaving only Guadalajara VH for my expanded airborne contingent. My airlines transported 3 groups of passengers directly to airport next to Guadalajara and another 3 groups landed a little north from that place. Six units around - it was too much for defenders and Fallschirm had easy job to do. One of these units won Alpine training. Now it’s almost Commando like unit - having PM ability.
It’s interesting to play without cap for a change – you don’t care if lose core unit and always can afford some new one without punishment. The only source of prestige is flags capturing (180° different philosophy - comparing to the Stevology).

Result: BV (-1 turn) – proto: SdKfz 10/4.

2. Mogucha

Sold: 15 sFH 18 (Truck), R1 (Recon), SdKfz 10/4.
Purchased: 2x 10.5cmK18 (Truck), 2x PSW 231.
Upgraded: None.

Seeing that cap is completely not in use I decided to change my army composition and did some rearmament before this battle.
I decided to play slowly and safety - trying to avoid loses. This tactic worked fine and I didn’t lose any of my units, but Japan auxiliaries were not so lucky.
Four Fallschirm units flew along south edge of map and landed in its southeastern corner. They captured both VHs in this area.
First group of auxiliaries attacked from the southwestern capturing airfield VH and next directed north to Tankograd. Second auxiliary group that attacked from the northwestern captured northernmost VH and later directed south successfully battling for Mogucha. This group finally took the city.
Main German forces I sent on the south and next along the river to Tankograd. They captured it and second VH on the east - together with first group of Japanese.
Those big Russian guns were annoying, but I destroyed only one of them and left remaining two in peace.

Result: BV (Last turn) – proto: Pz IIIF.

3. Invade Poland

Upgraded: Pz IIA to Pz 38(t)A, Infanterie to Sturmpioniere, Me-109B to Me-110C.

Easiest round so far. All the things went pretty well without surprises and I didn’t loose any of my troops – even auxiliary. Standard SSI Ciechanow is more difficult.

4. Suomussalmi

Purchased: 8.8 FK18 ATG (Wagon).
Upgraded: 2x Pz IID to Pz IVD, 88mm FlaK 37 to SdKfz 6/2.

Exactly as previous scenario this one was nice and easy. Paratroopers captured long-range southeastern VH and my land forces did the same with two others one round earlier. One tank got new leader.

5. Somaliland

Sold: 8.8 FK18 ATG, 10.5 leFH 18, Fallschirmjager.
Purchased: 2x 10.5cm Mortar.
Upgraded: 2x Fallschirmjager to Waffen SS.

This scenario I learnt deeply. First three attempts I left unfinished seeing that my army composition and deployment was wrong. The fourth try looked good and I was close to get BV when British reinforcements appeared and after naval bombardment with support of big Dev Fire gun they captured my Djibouti VH and I unexpectedly lose the battle.
I tried once again the same tactic but knowing about danger from the south I left more forces for Djibouti defense. They held this objective successfully but my PSW died there overran by Matilda after multiple bombardment. It was the single unit that I lost this time - killing 64 enemies by the way. The rest of battle went according to my plan and I got finally BV here.
It was hard and demanding scenario and I see this challenge may take more time than I have expected - if will be more scenarios like this one.

6. Lillehamer

Purchased: 10.5 leFH 18 (Truck).
Upgraded: None.

Nicely surprising scenario comparing to standard SSI one. I left my first attempt unfinished seeing that deployment wasn’t good. I changed it and started again. I decided to play slowly and deployed all my forces on the eastern side of the lake. Those forces advanced around the water, first in northern direction and after capturing Lillehamer they directed south to Gjovik. In meantime paratroopers jumped from one place to another, supporting advance the land part of my forces and detached Fallshirm unit captured northeastern Rena VH without troubles too. Unfortunately one of mortars was KIA near Lillehamer.
It was funny to see my Alpine Training Waffen SS unit that almost flying over highest mountains in its Opel. It was very useful for destroying Norwegian guns that were placed in difficult terrain.

7. France Invasion

Purchased: 2x StuG IIIB, Mineclearer.
Upgraded: some transports.

I can’t say that it was easy scenario. Plenty of French units around – more than I expected. My Fallschirm group landed in deep and after heavy fighting one of them was killed. The rest of battle went quite well and I took the last turn V. Those big SP 280mm guns were not real problem with the range only 3. All of them were spotted before could do any damage and shot only defensive fire under attack of my tanks.
Easter is going – it’s time for a little break now.

Result: V.

8. Dunkirk

Sold: 10.5cm Mortar.
Purchased: sIG33 IB, SdKfz 6/2, Fallschirmjager (and 2x CR.42 Falco - during scenario).
Upgraded: None.

This battle was easier than Sedan. I advanced with my forces as usually in Dunkirk and almost got BV here, but some troubles with supplying at final stage cost me additional turn and I finished with V. The only one nasty surprise were two big guns behind the easternmost VH. My recon was reduced to single point under crossfire of these monsters but luckily survive. Later my Fallshirmjagers removed both guns when were suppressed by LBs.
Now is the time to choose the way.

Result: V (missed BV by 1 turn).
My army before the next scenario:
Current scenario: Choice One; VH prestige is 0; All hex prestige is 160
Total army value 6804 Current prestige is 693

Dilemma
I planned to take TV and go to Barbarossa, but at first I decided to see the maps for other choices. After choosing BV I would to examine Belgium scenario map when I was surprised by unexpected proto award - 28cm K5 Rail Gun. Now I’m in a fix – take the little one and go through Belgium and Sweden (it may be difficult way) or forget about this proto and realize my previous plan.

9. Belgium

I decided to follow both PGII experts’ advice and kept the GUN.

Purchased: 2x Pz IVD, sIG33 IB, 2x 88mm FlaK 37, 2x Fallschirmjager, Mineclearer.
Upgraded: 2x Fallschirmjager to Sturmpioniere and Waffen SS.

I spent all after-choice prestige on new purchases and upgrades, and cheaply OS to 15 my Influence fighter too.
This round was rather relaxing for my army, but one newly purchased FlaK was spotted in its transport by Belgian reinforcements, that appeared on the south, and didn’t survive.:dead It wasn’t good investment - for 600pp I’ve got nothing. New RM tank leader may be a little reward for that loss.
After first appearance of Big Gun I see more practice is surely needed before I can properly use this new toy. It did only couple of shots during this battle and gained less experience than other new recruits.

Result: BV (-1 turn).
My army before the next scenario:
Current scenario: Netherlands; VH prestige is 560; All hex prestige is 1640
Total army value 9444 Current prestige is 1444

10. Netherlands

Sold: 88mm FlaK 37.
Purchased: SdKfz 6/2, 2x Fallschirmjager (during scenario)
Upgraded: 10.5 leFH 18 to 15cm K39.

This scenario was only a time race. Didn’t meet plenty Dutch units here and the only problem was speed, especially on the south where was hard, swampy and wet terrain. Some slower units didn’t single shot and of course remained at their initial experience level. Additional Fallschirm bought during scenario allowed me to get last turn BV. Both northwestern and northeastern VHs were captured by airborne troops.
I have got third Battlefield Intel leader – most common in this CC for me. I think it may be quite useful for recon.

Result: BV (Last turn).

11. Denmark

Sold: 2x Pz IVD, SdKfz 6/2.
Purchased: 2x Pz IVE, Fallschirmjager (during scenario)
Upgraded: 2x Pz IVD to Pz IVE, 2x C.R.42 Falco to Me-110C.

I sold both inexperienced tanks and bought two new one (instead upgrading them). Two experienced tanks and both biplanes were finally upgraded.
Pretty easy round – my army only opposed some recons, infantry and light guns. I lost one Fallshirm that was immediately replaced by new one during scenario. All three long-range VHs near to northern and eastern edges of the map were captured easily by airborne assault. Big Gun killed first enemy unit.

12. Sweden

I was really annoyed at this scenario and almost reached the limit, but instead of dropping the whole campaign (as Panzegrenadier did) I decided to wait idle until lost this battle and went further. I wouldn’t see another scenario such like Sweden – it could be too much for my liking.
Now I will go to Choice 2.

13. Balkans

Sold: 2x Pz IVE.
Purchased: 2x VK3002 DB (TK), 4x 15cm K39 (AR), 2x 90/53 90mm /Portee (AD), 4x Gebirgsjaeger (IN).
Upgraded: 4 tanks to VK3002 DB, 2x StuG IIIB to StuG IIIG, 2x sIG33 IB to Brummbaer, 1x 28cm K5 Rail Gun to V-1 Rocket, 3 guns to 2x PanzerJager 12.8cm and 1x 15cm K39, 2 recons to PSW-233, 1x SdKfz 6/2 to SdKfz 7/1, 1x Sturmpioniere to Assault Pioniere, 5x Fallschirmjaeger to Jagdkommandos, 4x Me-110C to FW-190A, 1x Ju-88A to Me-410G.

I spend over 20000 prestige here and have changed almost whole army.
Tigers and Panthers D seems useless in this efile with only 5/6 all terrain movement. I decided to try at the beginning VK3002 (T-34/85 variant) – it has speed 7 (tracked), acceptable defense value, and is almost twice cheaper than Tiger. The VK3002 may be good alternative before better Panther A or G appears. I decided to try V-1 for fun too. It’s nice possibility to switch between 28cm K5, 24cm K3 or V-1 without cost. I would try all of them.

Balkans scenario was interesting and I enjoyed playing it. I lost three inexperienced units: 2x Gebirgsjaeger and 15 K39 gun in the battle, but I like this scenario original concept and I’m back encouraged to play AAW (even after Sweden scenario disappointment). Enemy reinforcements that suddenly appeared next to my airfield scared me, but fortunately I was able to defend both attacked VHs successfully. BV was close but I missed it by single turn.

Result: V (missed BV by 1 turn).

14. Salerno

Purchased: 2x Year 10 120mm.
Upgraded: None.

Salerno was very interesting and intense battle covering whole map. It was clear from the beginning that fast action is necessary, or Allies must overwhelm my forces defending very extended territory. Some enemy units continuously appeared behind my lines. Luckily the plan I choose worked well and I achieved BV before could take many loses. Only one Jagdkommandos was killed under American battleship fire.
I was awarded poor Hetzer prototype for that effort – perhaps it was equalizing for my Big Gun.

Result: BV (-2 turns) – proto: Hetzer

15. Husky

Purchased: None.
Upgraded: Hetzer to V-1 Rocket.

Another sea invasion (luckily I was still on the ground instead of boats that must slaloming between mines) and again short but intense round. I played quickly and tried finishing it one turn too fast. The result was obvious – I lost my Brummbar when stupidly exposing it directly in front of 17 Pdr barrel. That nasty AT-gun guarding the last enemy VH easily blown my wounded 2-strength SPAT out of the map.

Result: BV (-1 turn)

16. Kanev

Purchased: None.
Upgraded: 4x VK3002 to Panther A, 2x StuG IIIG to Elefant, 2x V-1 Rocket to 24cm K3 (for free), Me-410G to FW-190G (for free).

Kanev was massive engagement and I didn’t play it well. I played long time defensively under furious attack of Soviet armor and started counterattack very late (too late I think). I took last turn TV, but unfortunately the only way to get it was landing Jadgkommandos directly into last VH. Of course game frozen after that and I must reload from Autosave. After loading I have all VHs taken but game was not finished and I must play until loss. I think the result still remains TV in spite of troubles at the end.
Playing badly I lost here three core units: 15cm K39, big Japanese AD and Gebirgsjaeger. High price for poor result.

Result: TV (Last turn)

17. Leningrad & 18. Vipuri

Leningrad

Sold: some auxiliary units.
Purchased: 4x Fallchirmjaeger, 3x 28cm K5 Rail Gun.
Upgraded: 2x 24cm K3 to 28cm K5 Rail Gun (for free).

After reading Reepi’s AAR I knew that keeping both westernmost VHs isn’t necessary. I left them alone unprotected and kept entrenched auxiliaries with some of my core in defensive positions on the West and South. All five rail guns and the rest of artillery were placed next to Leningrad for supporting airborne assault. Every big gun shot twice (in round 1 and 3) and city was captured in turn 3. It was possible to do in turn 2 perhaps, but without RM Fallshirm I have waited - avoiding direct VH landing. One of my temporarily purchased Fallshirmjaegers was lost.

Result: BV (In turn 3)

Viipuri

Sold: 3x Fallchirmjaeger, 3x 28cm K5 Rail Gun.
Purchased: 2x 21cm K38, 128mm FlaK40, 2x Fw-190D, Fw-190G.
Upgraded: Gebirgsjaeger to Jagdkommandos.

Plenty of Soviet armored units rode around the map. I lost three core infantries (Waffen SS, Sturmpioniere and Jagdkommandos) surprised and smashed by them. Rail guns proved their worth again in assaulting heavy entrenched positions.

Result: V

19. Canada Invasion

Sold: 2x 21cm K38, 2x FW-190D, 1x FW-190-G.
Purchased: None.
Upgraded: Too many to count - over half an army.

I don’t like sea-landing scenarios but now I have two in a row. The first, Canada, is probably the easier one. I didn’t meet very intensive resistance there. Airborne units, as usually in this campaign, played the most important role. The newest V-2 Rockets were great in supporting airborne assaults, especially that weather wasn’t good during many of turns. Placed in the NW corner of map they covered whole area easily without moving. One Jagdkommandos unit was lost in this battle, but things went good and I missed BV by one turn.

Result: V

20. Savannah & 21. Oak Ridge

Savannah

Sold: None.
Purchased: None.
Upgraded: None.

I spent available prestige only for OS some fighters and AD units. Battle wasn’t easy considering couple of nasty radar bunkers and strong US air contingent. I played very carefully to avoid losing my core planes, especially vulnerable bombers. My ground forces landed in two groups – at the southern and northern beaches. Advance went slowly and started a little late after defense of landing positions during the first turns. Finally I got BV here - mainly thanks to strong V-2 rockets support. This result wasn’t possible without them for me – I think.

Result: BV

Oak Ridge

Sold: Panther IIF, 2x Mineclearer, 2x 15cm K39, Me-262 50mm, 2x He-111.
Purchased: None.
Upgraded: Sturmpioniere to Assault Pioniere, 2x 15cm K39 to Gerat 809.

I sold all my bombers that were very vulnerable and kept my fighters busy all the time. I expected that V-2 could do their job quite good. In addition I sold some less experienced units too. With gained prestige I could upgrade three units and OS greater part of remaining contingent maximally.
This scenario went pretty easy in spite of my light-headed approach to play. I did it without reloads, accepting that three core units were lost (PSW 233 recon, Grille 88mm FlaK 41 and newly upgraded Assault Pioniere) - knowing that is the last battle.
Enemy airforce was eliminated quickly and my over-strengthen units advanced continuously. The only nasty surprise was combo of five heavy guns (AT and ATY) at north of Oak Ridge. I missed BV by one turn but if play this scenario more carefully it is easy to get.

Result: V
