I am not trying the banzai approach here I'm am trying a more mechanized approach while trying to keep relations good with the US and USSR.

Good luck doing that in Indochina, the Philippines (well except for central luzon), East Indies...in other words good luck crossing mountains, jungles and forests.

I'm not gonna attack the us and what I mean is that I will have more and better tanks than in RL but the core of the army will still be the infantry,navy and air force.

[Tabret]

Numbers matter not in modern warfare. It didn't matter when the British, with a force of 36,000, drove the 1-million man Italian army out of Egypt and even managed to take Italian territories in Libya, so I guess it would be far more easier for a force of 80,000 to do the same.

They were Australians and New Zealanders.

Give me two Australian divisions and I will conquer the world

My God, I wish we had 9th Australian Division with us this morning.

the Australian divisions and the New Zealanders had become what they were to remain for the rest of the war - the spearhead of the British Army

[quote=Charles Hore, on being asked to surrender in South Africa"]I cannot surrender. I am in command of Australians who would cut my throat if I did.

So? The Saudi men under my disposal grew up in the desert and lived under extremely harsh conditions, not to mention that they have some combat experience gained through fighting with bandits and smugglers on the border. A quote or two wont change that.

Nevertheless, I have already pointed out the massive weaknesses of the Italian army, and have cited sources for the same . An unmechanized and poorly trained infantry force and low quality tank divisions are no match for a force with superior military hardware, using combined arms tactics against an enemy with one unit type in their ranks. The advantage remains on our side.

And btw, I've heard numerous versions of that quote, one including egyptian and palestinian and syrian soldiers.

[The Vekta-Helghast Empire]

The quote that I posted, I believe also has a - "British Officer, German Equipment & Canadian Soldiers" or something like that.

So can I have the KI-84 or can I have the J2M?

What did Greece ask about Cyprus? I must've missed the message.

[Lunas Legion]

What did Greece ask about Cyprus? I must've missed the message.

It's in the same post where I join the Jerusalem Pact and I ask for it to be handed over to Greek control since Greece will probabaly play a leading role in the Med theatre of war.

I wonder if he would be willing to sell hong kong to me?

Possibily, possibily not.

Hope he accepts because I will not fight him for a simple city but I will sign the pact I just want to know what position I will have in it.

[Sovjetia]

Or you could pull a Roman Empire, and conquer the known world.

He couldn't. The Romans were mostly facing foes who were divided, unorganised to their standards and were lucky.

The Italians have incompetent commanders, a enemy who has got at least the same organization and not much of a technological advantage. And the Italians, what are they even trying to do?

Incompatant yes but ineffective no and I never actually declared war on France

Ah yes because invading French colonies and territory is not an declaration of war.

Back in Queen Victoria's day we called that freeing of the natives.

Then we enslave them...right after we 'freed' them.

Well that is what I said when I invaded Dutch Indonesia.

That would mean I would go through the Netherlands and Belgium (Maginot line).


Oh and just a question for history buffs out there: How did Belgium end up in Congo?

Wasn't it an congress for it and the Belgians ended up as winners in the congress and don't worry about the dutch their fleet is completely in ruins after their crushing defeat at the hands of the IJN.

[Weltbeherrschung]

If you're Italy, you can change the direction in the middle of the fight or run away like headless chickens. It's an Italian super power.

Or you could pull a Roman Empire, and conquer the known world.

And then, run it into the ground and get run over by Germans. Again.

The quote that I posted, I believe also has a - "British Officer, German Equipment & Canadian Soldiers" or something like that.

Give me German officers, American equipment and Canadian soldiers and I will conquer for you the world

Hell is a place were Germans are responsible for the comic relief, the Chinese for the engineering, the Italians for the driving and the English for cooking.

Elements of the 1st Army, CQC divisions, enter into Benghazi and engage in bloody battles with Italian forces. Although efficient, the CQC divisions had suffered considerable losses, ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 men. Italian forces however, are driven outside the city's major areas, as intense artillery bombardment aids in the demoralization of the Italians. Armored columns roll into the city, obliterating Italian defensive structures and wiping out many Italian soldiers, at a cost of 150 G-1s, and 400 damaged G-1s. In total, Italian losses after this operation number to an astounding 100,000, mainly due to the bombardment of the city and the insertion of the CQC units who were trained in urban warfare. Italian soldiers are surrendering to Saudi forces in the hundreds.

A plan for advancing into Italian Libya is made. The 1st Army will travel up the coast, capturing important points and fortifications. avoiding cities and Italian military concenctrations, and blocking the flow of supplies from Italy. This will cut off the Italian army and cause mass-starvation among their ranks.

no just no not happening Saudi doesn't have a million men to stomp out ours and you can't determine my losses god mod total god mod

[Lunas Legion]

1. Saudi wouldn't have that many men
2. We have a lot of troops stationed there they have better training and better equipment
3. Italian navy ships would pound your positions near coasts
4. We have better armor then you
5. How did you even get here
All together you have like no chance at success

Hes expanded his army massively
Italians are not well equipped or well trained by European standards
The Italian Navy has not sallied from its base in Taranto
Italian Armour was utterly terrible
He marched through Egypt

Some logic for you, Sovietja.

Do you like the aircrafts and ships I sold to you.

[Mort the Lemur]

Seriously? Nobody i condemning me for attacking Poland? Lunas and Tabret, can you destroy Spain and Italy? I would like a distraction when I invade the french.

We'll see how well they perform against the Italians.

And Sovietja, tomorrow I will provide you with historically accurate figures for the Italian OOB in Libya.

If anyone wishes for me to supply the same, TG me.
