BEFORE SIMULATION BEGINS. 

• Pull half of troops out of Poland, so Germany will attack it but then we can go attack Germany because they will be weaker then. Then we can just get Poland from Germany back for Poland.
• PROTECT Pacific, because Japan will get rubber and power will go up.
• Wipe out Bulgaria, Romania, Hungaria they are Laura and Ashley so it’ll be easy to wipe out.
• We are going to give rubber to the other allies to help everyone out.
• We need to ally with the Netherlands.
• Wipe Italy out and put troops in Belgium because those are the only ways Germany can get to France.
• Need to take out Japan’s Navy. If we take out Northeast China and Manchuria they have nothing.
• Unless Belgium makes an alliance with them they are going to attack Belgium.
• USSR can’t be official allies with us until Germany attacks their central government.
• Other classes took over Poland and Denmark. Soviet Union took over P2.
• If Germany takes over Belgium, France is going to need troops right away.
• We want to get Norway and Denmark the first move so we can own the Baltic Sea.
• It’s part of Poland’s objective to have us announce that we will protect them.

1939

United States and China have formed alliances. Romania, and Germany are alliances. Yugoslavia and Germany are alliances. Can’t trust Bulgaria because they were going to form an alliance with Germany. We are looking to maybe attack Libya, it would be very convenient to have.  Japanese attacks U.S. at Pearl Harbor, Japanese is victorious. Germany declared war on Norway. We might take it over later instead. Secret alliance with Belgium and Yugoslavia.

Germany attacking Netherlands. We aren’t going to help because then we won’t have enough troops left. We are thinking about moving troops into Belgium. We attacked the German navy in the Baltic Sea. We were victorious! We put one troop into Denmark. We are aiming to gain control of Norway so we can control the Baltic Sea. Poland is going to attack Germany East Prussia, there are currently no German troops defending it so it’s just a smart easy move. France is letting Italy move their navy into the West Mediterranean Sea peacefully so they don’t attack them. We have a feeling Germany is the one trying to get Italy to move north so eventually they can attack all of our navies. We are going to try to combine all of our navies to destroy Italy’s. We ended up moving troops into France. We can defend Belgium at any point. USSR moved troops into Poland. Germany declared war on Belgium. I knew they would! We are defending Belgium and France is also helping us defend them. We have to help defend them because it is our objective, plus we don’t want them getting any closer to France. Germany was victorious. Germany also attacked Poland and were victorious. We didn’t help because we weren’t asked to help, and we didn’t have troops nearby to help defend anyway. I think we should attack Belgium (Germany) next move, because they are going to attack France next. France wouldn’t let Italy move their navy through them, so Italy wasn’t able to move. Germany moved most of their troops into Belgium, they are obviously ganging up on France. If I were to change anything that happened today it would have been to move more troops into Belgium right away so Germany wouldn’t even attack it in the first place, because now it is going to be really hard to get Belgium back since Germany has so many troops in it right now. Next move they are going to want to attack France.

1940

We decided not to declare any war. Germany made a proposal for France to move all of their troops into F2, so they won’t do much damage to their army when they attack France. France likes this because then it can defend itself better against Italy. We don’t know what is behind Germany’s schemes in this though, and there might be more to it then what meets the eye. France ended up splitting its army from F3, into F1 and F2 so it can defend itself from both sides, and we moved some of our troops into F1 to help defend France, with the help of our navy and Frances. The U.S. is going to load troops and move them into France in its next turn. We are obviously getting ready to protect ourselves from Germany. We are making a secret alliance with Yugoslavia. Germany declared war on Denmark. We only lost one troop, and didn’t do anything about it because we don’t think it is worth it. The axis now controls the Baltic Sea. Germany attacked East Prussia, which is Poland’s land. We were not able to help defend Poland because our troops weren’t over there; there was no way we would be able to help. Romania also attacked Poland, again we weren’t able to help since we don’t have any troops over there. Germany is moving most of their troops to Belguim, showing again that they are going to attack France. They are also moving toward Russia, showing that they are going to attack them soon as well. Any war for us right now is pointless because we would be defeated no matter what. We don’t have enough navy to move all of our troops if we wanted to declare war anyway. I thought we should attack the heart of Germany in G2, but we don’t have enough navy to transport enough troops there to get a victory. Instead we decided to just move troops from Great Britain into France. Italy attacked France in F2. We did not want to move troops down because then Germany could easily attack F1. France ended up being victorious, good thing we decided not to move troops, because I’m pretty sure Germany would have attacked. Germany is continually moving troops into Belgium. We are going to take Libya, that way we will have control over all of the southern countries. We were victorious! Again, we are moving troops from Great Britain into France. Germany ended up taking over F1.

1941

The United States, France, and us (Great Britain) are attacking Japan’s navy. If we destroy their navy it is a major step toward our victory of the war. We ended up losing against them, but we destroyed most of their navy which makes the Axis powers a lot weaker. We are thinking about taking the Netherlands that way we can get to the heart of Germany easier. We are continuing to use our navy to move troops into France to help protect them. The Axis gained Yugoslavia. Germany attacked France in F2. We are going to move our troops down to help protect, the United States will then defend F3. We lost to Germany and they gained France. We need to do something before the Axis continues to attack France. Germany attacked F3. The U.S. is bringing in troops, we decided not to help protect because we would lose anyway, and that would be a waste of our troops. Germany ended up being victorious. Germany is spreading all of their troops out now, making it incredibly difficult for us to attack them anywhere. It is hard for us to move troops because whenever we want to move troops we have to use our navy and can only move a certain amount of troops at one time. We are thinking about using all of our navy to pick up the United States’ troops. We need troops to be able to do anything. The Soviet Union tried attacking Finland, but Finland was victorious. Germany attacked Sweden leaving Norway wide open and easy to attack and conquer.

1942

Soviet Union is now apart of the allies. We are going to occupy Arabia, just so we take control over all of the southern land. Japan is attacking China. We are sending troops from India to help China. We were victorious! Our work in Asia is over. The Germans are attacking the USSR. We decided to attack Norway, and we won, more land for the allies. Right now, Germany believes that we are not going to attack them, and that we are actually going to attack the USSR. He made an agreement with us for us not to attack him, in return we get the Baltic Sea. He wanted that agreement, so he could save his mainland. We are going to deceive Germany, and come out victorious!  The allies gained Manchukuo, more orange on the map for us! We are moving troops from the United States into the North Sea. The Axis is continuing to attack Russia. Italy attacked Greece. We figured Italy would do that. Germany is moving troops out of Sweden and into Finland. Right now we are secretly allied with USSR, while we are using Germany, to attack Germany. The United States attacked Sweden and Germany didn’t defend it at all, he obviously just wants to keep his mainland. Everyone is clueless about what we are doing. Germany even wants us to become allies with them, when they have no idea that we are going to stab them in the back. We will see how it goes tomorrow!

1943

Germany is attacking the USSR. Italy attacked our navy in the West Mediterranean Sea. They destroyed our navy. We are looking to take over Italy. We lied to Germany and told them that it is one of our objectives to take Italy. We told him this, so he will move troops out of France so we can get down to Italy. Germany is scared to do this though, because he thinks that the U.S. will take over him. Germany isn’t letting us move through France. In order for Italy to join our side, it has to look hopeless for Germany. To make it look hopeless for Germany, we need to attack the heart of Germany. We are creating an alliance with USSR. Germany is continuing to attack and conquer the USSR. Italy attacked our navy again, they won again. Italy is moving some troops into France, probably wanting to protect both sides of her. We conquered F3, this will give us a foot hole into Italy. We attacked Finland and were victorious! Right now, we are just trying to get as much land as we can get. We are going to crush Italy now, we are sick of them taking all of our land!

1944

The Soviet Union is moving as much troops as they can, in order to defend themselves from Germany. The Soviet Union is attacking the Italian navy. We are going to try to attack G1, first we are going to have to attack F1, of Germany. The Axis ended up defeating us, it’s okay that he won, because he can’t use those troops next turn to attack us because he used them in battle against us. The U.S. ended up being victorious and gained central Germany! We are attacking the USSR that is now Germany’s with USSR troops and our troops. We are just trying to continue to gain land! The Axis ended up winning. Italy is attacking us in Palestine. The Axis also won Finland from us. Germany gained back G1 from us, they only have 5 troops left in there though. There are really no troops in any of Germany, so we are going to take all of that land, except for Italy. Italy is going to join our side anyway, once we take all of Germany’s land. We are attacking Germany, which was once France, we gained it, because the Axis decided not to defend it.

1945

Italy has formed an alliance with the United States. Germany has talked to Italy and us, and wants us to pretend to have an alliance with the United States, but attack them in the end. We can do this, because none of our objectives tells us that we have to stay loyal to the United States, but we want to become neutral, because we don’t want to be allies with Italy. We don’t want to be allies with Italy, because they attacked France, and we have to stay loyal to France. Right now we are looking to attack Italy, because they attacked France. Italy is continuing to attack our countries in the south. We are not defending it, because we are saving our troops for when we attack Italy itself. The Soviet Union ended up attacking Romania. I’m guessing it is one of their objectives to gain Romania. We attacked Italy, and gained back France. We cut ties with United States, because they were allies with Italy. Right when we announced this, the U.S. broke their alliance with Italy, and wants to be allies with us again. We have not agreed to this yet. The United States threatens to crush us, I think we should be allies with them again, but my president will not listen to me, so now we are going to die. The United States attacked Germany. We attacked Palestine and gained it. We are going to attack Italy, and we were victorious!

Poland 5 1939 – 

Great Britan and France have public garrentte my borders. Germany invaded my western flank and soon captured the entire region of P1. Poland needs to wait until Great Britain or france has the power to take over Germany. Then I will help maintain the Eastern front of Germany.  P 2 need to make an alliance with the USSR, to help keep Germany out of the USSR. The Dutch El provide me with Rubber, they have a surplus of it so it was not hard from them to spare 5.

Netherlands/ Dutch El  5 1939 –  

Netherlands is a weak country with a small army so Germany easily took it over. I will have to hold out for France to take over Belgium so they can start and advance into Germany. As this happens I will supply France with the natural resources they need. I have rubber in the North East Indies, if they have use for this then I will be ready to supply them with it.  France and Great Britain need the Dutch El to supply rubber to keep ratings up. This is how I will negotiate so they will defend me.

Poland 5 1940 – 

The USSR is the only one that could help defend me. Great Britain and france are not close enough to defend. I have negotiated with both of these countries and they have agreed to return my countries back when they start to advance on germany and Japan.  Their is rumors of the USSR having a secret Alliance with Japan.  This is not good because they are directly next to Poland. Poland is surrounded by Germany and USSR. It will be hard for my alliances to regain Poland in this difficult situation.

Netherlands/ Dutch El  5 1940 –  

In they Netherlands Germany is starting to take affect, Hitler has started moving in Nazi troops. Their is talk about killing Jews. We are hoping soon that France will start to invade Belgium and then be able to regain our territory and again become apart of the Allies.  Italy is trying to invade France, france pulled out a victory. This will help us in the long run. If France is able to retain their original territory they will continue to be strong and help the netherlands.

Poland 5 1941 – 

Part of France has been The USSR has allied with the Axis powers. This is not good they both have very large armies although USSR armies are week they are large. Germany is starting to move troops into Poland. This is taking its toll on our people. They are losing hope that we will ever get our country back. The UUSR siding with the Axis was not good news to us. There is not much Poland can do right now other than wait and hope for something to happen in our favor.

Netherlands/ Dutch El  5 1941 –  

In the Dutch El a large war happen close to us. Great Britain, France and the US  Navy all attacked Japans Navy, they lost. I could have helping with my navy. If I did this it may have helped them win but then if i got attacked I would have no defense against Japan if they tried to attack me. I have rubber and Japan has no rubber so if they need rubber I’m the closest rubber to them.  So far i don’t for see anyone attacking me. I still need to be prepared to defend a attack though. US has agreed to defend me incase of an attack. Japan has 49 navy in the West Pacific I have 50 in the Dutch El if they attack I should be able to defeat them. I am hoping they have a low rating. My rating is 7 for the Dutch El navy.

Poland 5 1942 – 

We are just waiting for france, Great Britain, and the U.S. to start and regain territory. The USSR has sided back with the allies. They have decided to help us defeat Germany. Germany thinks they are still not going to help us defeat them.  There is confusion on who the UUSR is sided with.

Netherlands/ Dutch El  5 1942 – 

 In the Pacific ocean Japan has been taken over by the Allies. Japan tried to tack New Guinea. Great Britain helped defend me because I have rubber. If Japan were to get the rubber that would help their ratting. The U.S and I are attacking the Japan Navy, by doing this we have eliminated the Japan Navy so I don’t have to worry about anymore attacks.

Poland 5 1943

I am allowing Great Britain to move my army to their convenience. They are small but they have a powerful rating and i can help in moving troops into germany. Germany is allowing us to come throughout the Baltic sea. They think we are going to help them take over more of the UUSR for some reason. I don’t think it was in there best interest to let us through. They was not smart on there part.  There are no troops in P1.  The US has attacked germany in F3, it was a success. Allies are starting in on Germany. The USSR has came back to the Allies.

Netherlands/ Dutch El  5 1943 – 

It has become a waiting game. No german troops occupy Netherlands as of right now. The French and British could take over the netherlands again and let us move back in. Germany is only one move away from attacking though, so they would need to bring in a large about of troops to help fight. We have still managed to protect the Dutch El. We still have a surplus of rubber. Italy is the only axis left with a navy. I am slightly worried about them coming for the Dutch El. If they attack I will not be large enough to defend.

Poland 5 1944- 

There is going to be a big attack on Germany from the UUSR and Allies soon, I feel. Time is closing in and we need to start attacking Germany soon. The Allies need to work together to defeat Germany. Allies are going to attack F1, and G1. I need get them to move into P1 because no germans are in p1 right now. As soon as the Allies get Poland back Great Britain and France said they would guarantee our borders.

Netherlands/ Dutch El  5 1944 – 

There are no German troops in the Netherlands so the Allies will start to regain the Netherlands. G1 has been taken back over, they are weak and only have 5,000 troops we. They can attack and take back over Netheralands, Belguim and G1.

Poland 5 1945- 

The allies need to move fast, today is the last day of the simulation. They are going to majorly attack Germany to regain Poland. If they want to win they are going to have to attack hard with a lot of troops. USSR is starting to attack from the other east. Allies are going to slowly start to close in on the axis. France and great Britain have threaded to break their alliance with the US because they made an alliance with Italy. In fear of attack they broke the alliance with Italy.  The USSR is going to attack P2. The land was gifted back to me.

Netherlands/ Dutch El  5 1945 – 

The Dutch El is safe. There is no way we can  be attacked. The Netherlands is not occupied by any German troops. I have managed to defend the Dutch El and reach all of my objectives.

France 5, 1938

It’s only orientation day and the tension is already building. We have found out who we (as allies) can trust and who we can’t. I’m getting a weird  vibe from Emilee Knipfel. China is an ally but she has also made her way into the axis war room. I’m not sure what to think about it right now. Natural Resources were definitely a hot topic today. The allies made sure that we were all on the same page about not letting the pacific Natural resources slip into the hands of the axis powers. We received all of our oil from Great Britain and We are trying to get rubber from them also. That would be a huge help to our situation by increasing our power rating. I also think Belgium will be germany’s main infiltration point into France. I am also very grateful for the protective wall keeping Germany from directly attacking France.  Im hoping Britain also sends troops either into F1 or Belgium to help defend.

France 5, 1939

This was kind of an interesting day. We did gain all of our natural resources thanks to Great Britain. And I now have a surplus of Coal and iron which I can give to Poland to help Complete my objective of Honoring my alliance with them. The British were able to take Germany’s navy. I am kind of suspicious of Italy’s navy also. They wanted access to the Western Mediterranean Sea but backed out when my navy wouldn’t let them through. It’s only the second day and I am already feeling a rush to get my objectives complete. Belgium was attacked by Germany today and we sent troops along with British forces to Protect it. We gained the United States as an ally which will help in the defense of France. I’m starting to realize how screwed France was from the beginning. It will be hard to defend F3 along with F1 at the same time. I don’t have that many troops and my Military rating seems non existent even after gaining all of my Natural Resources.

France 5, 1940

Tension is rising in France. Germany is most likely going to attack from Belgium today. There was a behind the scenes talk with Germany during weights the other day, Sage wanted me to move troops out of F1 and F2 into F3 so he could complete an objective of taking france without using force and then I would be able to take it back over after he left. I had a bad feeling about this and I also don’t trust Sage. We are building forces in F1 to try to defend France as well as we can. I’m not sure what else we can do to defend ourselves at this point because we have to keep troops in southern France to defend against Italy who are also on the verge of attacking. Germany did take over F1 but we widled them down to 1,400 sum troops. Now if I split the rest of my army between F2 and F3 then we will hopefully complete our objective of retaining our land, or at least attempting to.

France 5, 1941

A sad day in France. Germany finally took over France. We do still have French Indo China and French North Africa and now Libya. Great Britain, France, and The United States Navy’s are starting to move troops from The U.S. into Great Britain. From there we will be able to start pumping them into Europe. I am also wanting to eliminate Italy’s Navy. They are the only naval threat that we have to worry about. If we get them out of the way we will be able to move our navy’s with a better peace of mind. And also not have to worry about the Axis moving troops by sea.

France 5, 1942

Good day today! Although Germany seems to be spreading and getting bigger, I feel like the Allies are in more control. As long as the united states keeps gaining troops and navy, then we will be able to start attacking Germany. The allies gained and then lost the USSR today. Not sure what the U.S. was thinking when they did this. Sage (Germany) is kind of getting worried. He even talked about trying to make peace talks with us today. I think he is scared that he will be the only Axis power left. We are going to try to convince Italy to switch sides. This would be a huge gain of not only a few troops but also navy.

France 5, 1943

Today has the potential of being one of the most strategically important days yet. I have talked with Great Britain (Jacob Coulson) about needing Italy on our side. We thought that Germany would let us peacefully go through france to get to Italy but we realized how much danger we would be in. We changed our plan to send Naval forces up to the U.S. and move troops back to F3 and take it over. D-Day! Once we get a foothold in Europe, we can start advancing towards Germany. Sage is throwing Italy under the bus and using her navy while their alliance is still good. Soon we hope to gain Italy and their navy to help move more troops into Europe. But I don’t think she will join us unless it looks hopeless for Germany. Hopefully by taking F3, we will help her realize who is in control. Unfortunately she has already lost over half of her navy by letting Sage tell her to attack French and Great Britain’s navy in the Mediterranean.

France 5, 1944

Today was another huge day for the Allies! Great Britain and the U.S. took back F1 and actually took G1 for part of the day. Germany is really running low on troops. We are trying to get Bulgaria, and Hungary to join us. It would save a lot of moves and troops that we would lose if we had to fight them. If we can gain those countries, we will have a more secure perimeter built up around Germany and we will be able to take them that much quicker. The more we can surround them, the quicker we can choke them out. It is really looking good for the Allies, all we could need is more time.

France 5, 1945

Interesting finish to the simulation. I had originally planed on finishing off the Germans, but Great Britain and I realized that we didn’t need to continue fighting the Germans and that We needed to take back the Middle East countries from Italy more. We gained F1 back and then continued to take Italy. We also gained back some middle east territories like Palestine. The U.S. went back and forth on making alliances with Italy. This made Great Britain want to back out of the Allies and France would have to follow. In the end, The U.S. broke ties with Italy and no body backed out of the Alliance. Which is probably good because Halder would have just taken Great Britain and someone would have Flunked. I wish we had at least one more day to sort everything out and completely destroy the Italians.
