Japan 4, 1938 WWII Simulation

Our first plans for the start of the war are to take over NC and SC China and also take the Eastern USSR right off the bat. We want to acquire the closest to us and spread out to eventually get all the land we need. 

Japan 4, 1939

We sent 1500 troops from NE China to NC China and successfully took that over. We also decided to send troops from SE China to SC China and that was also victorious SC China also had help from GB and France and still got defeated. Our goal is also to gain these lands to gain the rubber in Burma because we do not have any ruber and we need rubber to make our Navy the highest possible ranking. We also used our navy to move troops from Japan to Korea to get closer to attacking the Eastern USSR. Our last plan for the year is to send troops from SC China to Burma in order to get their rubber to make us stronger. We completed taking Burma and got our Military ranking to a 10. We now have more materials than we need, so we will share with the other Axis powers to make them stronger also. 

Japan 4,1940

This year we started off by giving 9 rubber to Germany, 6 to Italy, 3 to Romania, 1 to Bulgaria, and 1 to hungary. We decided to take initiative to attack and take over the U.S navy. We planned to take out most of the U.S navy this year and ended up getting it fully completed today because the last of the U.S navy ended up attacking us so our objective with the U.S navy is now completed before 1941. We attacked NW China and were victorious and completed taking over all of China. We plan to take French-Indo China and India and invade Thailand because it is not occupied and gain us more land to get further south to eventually take over and make it to Australia. We were victorious in all of our plans for this year. We moved many of our troops Manchucko to eventually be able to attack the Eastern USSR and take over all of Asia. 

Japan 4,1941

We allied the USSR to join the Axis powers and now our plan moving forward this year is to move south to gain all of the land below us. There is not much defense from anyone that could help them or us through battles so Japan has been undefeated. We advanced this year and gained the Dutch East Indies, we also used our navy to attack and gain Australia. We are now wanting to gain more land for the Axis power so we are using a joint effort between us and the USSR and are planning to take over Iran and continue to keep going west. 

Japan 4,1942

This year we started off by taking over Iraq and Syria with the USSR and that was also victorious. We are still planning to move east as we continue. We completed gaining the Philippines and got the rest of that land. We have been warned that GB and the US navys are trying to take over our navy to try to knock us out. They did decide to try to take our navy over but still came out victorious. We now are planning to take troops from the Dutch East Indies over to eventually get Hawaii. 

Japan 4,1943

Things are starting to slow down. Our navy was attacked in 1942 but we still have some left so we are planning to take over Hawaii and complete our objectives. We are also going to continue to move west and take as much as possible this year just to cover more land. We did accomplish taking Palestine and the Suez Canal and we cannot get any further without a Navy. The USSR let us use their navy and took 20 of our troops over to French North Africa however it got defended and we lost 20 of our troops. We used our navy to move troops from Japan to Alaska and took that over. 

Japan 4,1944

These last two years we do not have much to accomplish. We have a good feeling the Allied navy is trying to take over the last of our navy because the 66 of our navy is the only navy the Axis powers have left so we are planning to make them chase us. The GB navy did attack us so we lost more of our navy but were still victorious. However the United States attacked our Navy and we were defeated so we do not have any navy left. 

Japan 4,1945

This is the last year of the war and we have already completed most of our objectives. The axis powers have a majority of the land and it is seeming to look good. The US did take back Hawaii from us because we were outnumbered and could not get back out to Hawaii to defend. The US and Great Britain invaded part of France and Sweden. The axis powers are losing lots of land this year. We are thinking maybe the US and GB are going to attack Finland so we moved troops to Finland and to the coast in China in case there would be any sort of attack on us from the Navy. They did end up taking over Finland and many troops lost from Japan and the USSR. The allied powers are slowly gaining more land but the war is almost over and axis powers seem to still to end well and have a majority of the land. The war was an Axis victory!

WWI Simulation

Austria-Hungary 1914

It was the brink of the “War to end all Wars” they called it. Knowing our plan to exact revenge on Serbia, we planned on moving about 1000 troops to A3, planning to attack soon. We also wanted to form some alliances with Italy, since they seemed that they might be a thorn in our side. But they would budge, they said that they would think about it, planning that they won’t take our offer, Austria -Hungary decided to keep an eye on Italy. Germany,our allies, also plan on attacking R3 of Russia. Knowing that we had to honor our alliance with Germany, we watched and waited until we wanted to make an attack. Russia has so many troops, can we win?

Austria-Hungary 1915

We instantly attacked Serbia while they were making an alliance with another country. We did it, we took revenge for the assasination of our Archduke. Germany also moved into Russia, so we decided to help them by sending a couple hundred troops to help them. Then to our surprisement, Germany invented poison gas. Russia stood no chance against the central powers. We took control of R3 with ease. Then Bulgaria decided to show up and wanted to form an alliance with us, we obliged knowing that why cant do anything to us. After a while, Italy decided to attack, sending 1200 troops to A2, we had only 200 troops defending that. We needed a plan ASAP. What could we do? We realized that the troops surrounding A2 had a massive amount of Austro-Hungarian troops. So we decided to send 1000 from A1 to A2, and 300 from A3 to A2. Before the attack, Italy had 1200 troops, we now had 1500 troops. The attack was tense, would Italy be a bigger problem than we thought? After the attack, we won. We won and only lost about 500 troops, absolutely destroying Italy. Italy, low on troops, now wanted an alliance. They didn’t accept our offer before and now they expect us to accept theirs?  I wanted to punish Italy for what they did, but my advisors and the leaders of Bulgaria and Germany wanted to form an alliance with them, knowing that the troops would be useful to use against France. Our other allies, the Ottoman Empire, were on the brink of war with over 4000 troops knocking on their door, with only over 2000 to defend their Empire. We could not reach them in time, so my next plan is to reinforce O2 in case the ottomans lose, and attack the invading Russians. We also wanted to give Greece the option of either joining us, or being destroyed. They decided that they wouldn’t join us but gave us their word that they wouldn’t attack us. So I gave Bulgaria a plan of either destroying Greece, or leaving them alone, it’s up to them. How much longer is this war going to last!? But, with our alliances and strategy, I feel like this war might end very soon.

Austria-Hungary 1916

We came back together and went straight for the offensive, we completed our goal and took control of Greece. With our objective complete, we set our sights on Russia. But before we could attack, we had to defend Germany from the French. They had a few more troops compared to us, but we were able to help Germany defend their homeland. Now with Russia, with the ottoman empire from the south and Germany and Austria-Hungary from the East. We were outnumbered but that didn’t matter with Russia’s low industrialization. The ottoman empire beat the russians from the south so russia was in a corner with nothing to do.

Austria-Hungary 1917

We had a plan to finally take down Russia, but it seems the Russian citizens beat us to it. Since Russia was rapidly losing land, the citizens decided to start a civil war, making Russia surrender in the war. Germany also asked Mexico for help, but the message also got to the United States. Making them go to war with the central power. They were of little concern for us, but the biggest concern for us was the take over of Belgium. If we took that over, we would have a clear path to France. So Germany moved a little over 5,000 troops into Belgium and we moved over 400 into there as well. That’s when the Allies went on the complete offensive. They moved thousands into Belgium, quickly outnumbering us. But to everyone’s surprise, we won. We lost a lot of people in that battle so we had to quickly reinforce the troops before they were killed by the Brits. We were able to quickly reinforce the troops, moving France into a corner. We are so close to taking control of all of mainland Europe, we just need Britain. But now we wait for their move. 

Austria-Hungary 1918

The war seemed to be almost over with our victory on the horizon. But France wasn’t completely gone yet so we decided to attack with our troops and German troops. It seemed we were going to win easily but we didn’t know that reinforcements were on the way for France. We were outnumbered and lost our first battle in the war. We were never able to get France in complete control, but we were able to take their capital so they were no longer able to make more troops. Italy, Germany and the Ottoman Empire kept moving more and more east to try to take France and Britain. While I sent 100 troops to Egypt to take control of it. We ended up winning that battle, but Italy had their own battle. They were attacked by the Japanese and the British navy, it wasn’t much of a worry for us, I think they were just trying to do what they could to damage us as much as possible. The Allies never really made an attack on us besides for the attack on the Italian Navy I think they were just stalling so we couldn’t take full control of France. We did end up winning the war with our Allies, controlling almost all of Europe besides Portugal, a tiny bit of France, and Great Britain. It seemed like an easy win with only losing two battles in the entire war, but I will never forget the battle of Belgium.

U.S.S.R. 2 1939 WWII Simulation

After looking over our objectives we decided to take control of Poland P2 which was one of our objectives. While we took P2, Germany took P1 which might not be good for us. We need to be careful of what Germany is planning because they might want to take us over now. If they invade us we will have to join the allies for more support, and make sure to plan accordingly to where to put our troops. Our army is not strong so we will have to get more resources from other countries to allow us to make our army stronger.

U.S.S.R. 2 1940

On day 2 we attacked Finland with 750 troops versus 250 and we lost. One of our objectives was to take over Finland, but they were able to defeat us with a lot less troops. We are still waiting for Germany to attack us and trying to put our troops in the right place. It will be hard for us to take over any land because our army is weak. We have a better advantage of defending against attacks because of our geographical advantage over the other countries. 

U.S.S.R. 2 1941

In 1941 we were still concerned about Germany and Japan. We know that both of these countries want to attack us, and this is part of their objectives. We are going to attack 3 small countries because it is part of their objectives. We want to take over land owned by Egypt because there are resources there. Great Britain has troops down there, and we are still neutral. We are considering joining the axis powers if Germany doesn’t attack us. We want to get resources from Japan because they are gaining a lot in their battles. If we convince them to give some of their resources, the army will get stronger.  

U.S.S.R. 2 1942

In 1942 we joined the axis powers. The reason we joined the axis powers is because Germany didn’t attack us. Another reason for our thinking is if we help them, then Germany won’t attack us. We know we wouldn’t be able to defend against Germany. One of our objectives was to take over Finland, which we were able to do. They were weak from a war against Germany so we were able to defeat them. With us taking over most of the coast it will be hard for the allies to bring enough troops to take over what they have lost. 

U.S.S.R. 2 1943

Since we joined the allies we attacked Iran because Great Britain only had 50 troops in there. Our reason to attack this was because there were resources we could use there. We started to move our troops to help Germany, but didn’t move many because Germany still might attack us. Just to be cautious we wanted to be prepared for Germany to backstab us at any point. We have been able to take over a lot of land because the allied troops are spread out. 

U.S.S.R. 2 1944

Our plan in 1944 was to take over Alaska and Hawaii with Japan. The United States doesn’t have many troops over there, and it focuses all of their attention in the north sea zone. We have taken over Sweden but Norway because there are some American troops in there. We won’t be able to take over Norway because we don’t have enough troops to take down the American troops. Our plan is to continue to keep taking over land towards Egypt. There are no troops there to stop us so all of the land will be ours. 

U.S.S.R. 2 1945

In 1945 we are planning on getting attacked by America. We don’t know where America is going so we put troops in areas where we think they might attack us. We moved troops to P1 of Poland to help Germany out because their troops are low. With this being the last year of war they can’t do much to gain back more territory from them. Great Britain tried to take over Denmark, but we were able to help defend by sending our navy with troops.
