First attack: 3850 Lithuanians and 385 French dead. and 538 French and 860 Lithuanians dead. The other 30,000 make a new attack on the Lithuanians that have now been reduced to 3600. Much of the casualties, especially towards the end are probably not deaths, but soldiers being captured. I'd say 3 to win because of morale factors. xvp4poscAgainst all odds, the Lithuanians manage to kill 420 French, albeit losing themselves 672. Now, 60,000 soldiers launch an attack on Vilnius against some 20,000. 4 to win. yHfHqoEdI'll calculate the casualties in Portugal later, but I'll make a new attack which is most certainly 8 to win. a8tC5qGO·

New attacks on both fronts Vilnius w3pfUcrIPortugal Also, I'm making ALOT of posts in a row, I ought to try to reduce them a bit and squeeze more stuff into a single post. Corsica must not be lost! 200,000 troops from Chamonix move to Marseille. Edit: I edited this post to reduce my spam, but as you can see the rolls aren't great, I haven't changed them. Eugene V. Debs, Theron of Acragas, sorry for not being able to answer before and not being able to answer a longer one, but I had designed a cap of +-3 to the army factor. The whole French navy will pick up 200,000 from Portugal and transport them to Algiers, from which the other one of the armies will move to the Libyan border along with all 400 tanks in Africa and an army from eastern Morocco. After this, the navy will head to Ajaccio in Corsica. 700 fighters are moved to Marseille to defend the Balearic and Tyrrhenian Sea. A total of 500,000 soldiers, 2 armies from Paris and 1 from Bordeaux, Cherbourg and Brest, are moved to Chamonix. Along them tanks until there are 2500 and 5000 guns are transported too. The other army in Corsica begins digging defences on the southern and eastern coasts while the other starts digging trenches 10 km inland. Theron of Acragas , I have now 300,000 troops and 400 tanks on the Tunisian-Libyan border. You said you sent 100,000 to the border, but since they were scouting, I think it's fair that they can retreat to the middle point between the border and Tripoli (aroumd Sabratha), and you'll get the army from Tripoli too. Otherwise they'll attack along the coast where I presume your army is too. ····

I've been thinking about invading Turkey too, although I can't commit more than half a million troops right now. Also, irl Turkey supplied Germany coal, so that would be logical. As for Finland, France can't, directly atleast, support the invasion of such a large democracy, but I'm not against it, after all they are vulnerable to falling into Germany's sphere of influence.
Also, if you don't mind, I'll move all but 100,000 soldiers to fight in Portugal, for which I'd request either one of you to escort them to Caen, while my navy is engaged elsewhere. Only for Eugene V. Debs , Darth Nihilus Kliment Jefremovitš Vorošilov, Eugene V. DebsI have 4 destroyers so idk how much that's gonna help you, but I could try to get you to Denmark and then you could go the rest of the way.
I'm also gonna opt out of attacking Finland cause I don't want Sweden, Norway, and Denmark to have to join the Axis to avoid being invaded by us. I'm in favour of attacking Romania though because both Poland and the USSR share a land border with Romania.

Following the conquest of the eastern Baltic nations, Poland is dissolving Army Group North and integrating it into army group South. We leave one army near Konigsberg and move the other one to L'viv.
Army Group North (Bialystok): 100 000 soldiers; 250 tanks; 500 tanks; 100 fighters; 38 bombers; 3 destroyers
Army Group West (Gdansk, Bydgoszcz, Częstochowa): 500 000 soldiers; 500 tanks; 2000 guns; 250 fighters; 50 bombers
Army Group South (Warsaw, Lublin, L'viv): 390 000 soldiers; 500 tanks; 1460 guns; 200 fighters, 50 bombers
Reserve: 379 tanks; 150 guns; 500 fighters; 30 bombers
An extension of the Lodz defensive line will be constructed towards Gdansk. Providing a 0.1 fortification boost, this line will be completed in 4 pages.

My 200 fighters patrolling north of Corsica intercept the bombers and disrupt the raid. I don't think all forces should be able to counterattack. Half your forces are at the south end, a fair distance across rough terrain. If you mean just the northern army, then why -1? I have 500 fighters, they engage with the enemy. Fair enough, but it wasn't much longer than the distance you could cover when defending in the Alps. The army that supported in the Alps was around 30 miles away, I didn't bring in an army 60 miles away. The other end of Corsica is more than 80 miles. I don't think it's unreasonable to say that's out of range. I believe, after a significant Italian victory, my troops should have a morale boost compared to yours, but because I'm lazy, let's just say that your air support compensates. French forces are 88,000, Italian are 98,000. Calculating casualties as a percent of 93,000. You didn't specify attack type, so I guess standard? Victory by 1, correct? French casualties are 2325, Italian losses are 3720. A minor tactical victory for the French, but they fail to dislodge the Italian bridgehead.

Yes, that's me. As two pages have passed, another 100,000 men from Livorno have now reinforced the army in Corsica. As discussed, I have 500,000 reinforcements. I've allocated 300,000 to Milan, 100,000 to Rome and 100,000 to Tripoli. In addition, the factory in Tripoli has been producing tanks. I began producing on page 4, so by this time I have another 300 tanks. As the force retreats from the border, my forces from Tripoli move out to join them. Once they meet, my forces will number 300,000 men and 400 tanks. In addition, I have now produced 500 fighters, 600 guns (stationed in Milan), 5 destroyers and 10 submarines. I will now reduce my fighter production by 25 and stop building submarines, instead I will build another 30 tanks and start building a battleship.

All fair, I made some serious miscalculation once again.

First off the Chamonix forces attack. ~800,000 men, 2500*250 tanks, 5000*150 guns against ~600,000 men, 100*250 tanks and 1000*150 guns. ( Theron of Acragas, is this the whole force on the border, if it is I have 200,000 more men involved.) That equals 2,175,000 against 775,000. - 2 + 2 means that it's an equal battle. Medium risk. pXnslpskSimultaneously, 250,000 soldiers from Marseille, with the support of 50 destroyers, 5 cruisers, 30 submarines, 600 fighters and 300 bombers, land at the undefended site of Rapallo near Genoa. ·

No, this is only the Chamonix force, I have another 300,000 along the border to the south. But I have nearly 2000 guns and only 90 tanks. (Also, I probably overlooked something again, but since when do you have 5000 guns??) I'll do math later. Remember that I have submarines off Marseille. They might not interfere with a force of that size but they'd at least give me advance notice, and my troops in Milan respond (300,000 men, 600 guns and 100 tanks). They may not succeed in opposing the landing, but are in position to counterattack immediately. 300,000 + 100*500 + 600*150 = 440,000 against 250,000, giving me +1 for numbers. TJmL9DIN·

Theron of Acragas, this is the post where I reinforced Chamonix. As for Genoa, I think I am able to capture the city, although it's debatable. As for being able to react, sure, but then surely I have time to react in Corsica where I have 700 planes.

Theron of Acragas, I make a new attack in the direction of Chamonix. The additional guns won't change the army factor. So it's 7 to win again. N9ttKzop·

Only for Eugene V. Debs , Darth Nihilus Only for Kliment Jefremovitš Vorošilov and Darth NihilusNo problem, it would be more than enough, the only thing I need is that you distract and stall their forces by an attack from south so that then I can make a surprise attack on Caucasus and/or a landing in Istanbul, as most of their forces will already be busy with you, while I conquer their territory without much opposition. As for Finland, I understand your reasons and choice, and I definetely respect. Though, I may still consider this plan because of the same reasons both you and I have listed, though I will respect you even if you don't directly join. And I hope that you will respect mine as well if I decide to execute this plan in the future, which is still just a possibility that may still stay so in the future. Anyway, as for Romania, since all of us seems in agreement, when would you like to start, Darth Nihilus? There is no need for a big force, considering that you are still busy with Baltics and that there is still a threat of attack from the west. Just a normal force to distract Romania's forces would suffice, while I attack them from east and towards, for example, Bucharest to complete the invasion. And as for your wish about escorting, Kliment Jefremovitš Vorošilov, of course, I would love to help. How big would you like the fleet to be approximately? How many ships would you like me to use?

2. 10 destroyers would be more than enough, they'd be away for 2 pages.
