England's conquests

This alternate history takes place in 1920 where England, Poland and Germany go to war against Russia.

Background
Seeing communist Russia as a threat to newly independant Poland and asked Germany to help attack Russia in return for protection from the french and said that it would count as their reperations.

The Plan
General Montgomery and General Fritz gathered together. Montgomery pointed to the map and said "A line of machinegun trenches and artillery around Poland will meet the German line which will then meet up with the French line, making a Russian attack impossible."

"That's defense sorted but we don't declare war just to sit in our defenses all day! Believe me, I know!" Fritz replied.

Montgomery added "I don't know about you, but England will attack Azerbajan from our middle-eastern possestions and capture sevastapol from there, cutting off Russia's supplies. Poland will launch an attack on Estonia and then capture Leningrad."

Fritz pondered for a moment and then decided "We shall surround moscow with a lighting fast attack where our combined forces will seize the city."

English Campaign - Baku
The English reached Baku the following day and began heavy bombardment. English Infantry charged into the city, not knowin that the rubble provided perfect hiding places for the defenders. The 8th Australian division entered a narrow street and was surrounded by the Soviet defenders. It was then when the Australian's had the upper hand, they used the rubble as shelter and defeated wave after wave of soviets only taking small losses until, the Australians ran out of ammunition. The Australian division fitted bayonets to their rifles and attempted to break out, it was then that hand to hand combat started with the Australians being pushed back to the centre until a well-timed but badly placed shell blew up the Russian and Australian division.

The English decided that an infantry attack would be suicide and started intense bomardment from the heaviest artillery the English had until, after a month more bombardment, the Soviets tried to break out of the encirclement and were cut down by the machineguns, ending the battle of Baku.

Polish Campaign - Estonia Offensive
The Polish heavy guns started preperation fire on the Estonian capital and attacked with their infantry. The 1st Polish Infantry battalion marched into the cities and defeated many Estonian defenders. The Poles were surprised when the amount of Estonian defenders decreased and the Russian defenders increased. A Polish recconissance plane detected a supply line keeping Estonia alive.

To counter this, the 9th Polish Cavalry division was sent to intercept it. The hapless Russians who marched to Estonia believing their path to be unknown were easy pickings for the Cavalry. The Cavalry smashed into the Russian ranks and dispersed and chased off some of the army until they were forced to withdraw to the rear of enemy lines and attack the unguarded food supplies.

This had a dramatic affect on the Battle of Estonia which allowed the Polish to capture the city with little resistance. The returning Cavalry warned of an approaching Russian counter-attack and pledged to do their best to slow them down.

English Campaign - Sevastapol
The English navy blockaded Sevastapol and began a shore bombardment which was followed up by an Artillery bombardment. The bombardment from both land and sea was directed upon the great fortress of Sevastapol. The English received heavy counter-battery from the Russians but it did minor damage. As the fortress began to crumble, the Russian counter attack broke out of the English lines and destroyed the English artillery. The English were now trapped.

Thanks to English naval dominance, their convoys was allowed to bring supplies in and keep the battle going while the English tried to break out.

Every street of Sevastapol either had a pillbox or a trench dug into and due to the fact that England was trapped in a city that they haven't yet captured, the battle was a confusing and costly one. The Canadian 2nd Infantry division withdrew to a house where they found a group of Soviets. They simultaneously surrendered to each other.

Polish Campaign - Estonia Defensive
The Polish soldiers in Estonia had dug in for the defensive and were relatively well prepared, despite having no machineguns and only a few heavy guns. The Polish Cavalry started hit-and-run raids against the Russian Infantry and forced them to retreat to their trenches. The Cavalry chased them... into a trap. The Polish Cavalry was attacked by the Russian artillery. A Cavalry man swivled away from the Artillery shells but his horse tripped over and lodged him into a Russian trench. The Russians pointed Rifles to his head and he said "SURPRISE" and let off a grenade.

The Russians arrived at Estonia and found the Polish had deep trenches, barbed wire, land mines and sandbags prepared to fight anything the Russians threw at them. The Russian's plan was to charge head-first and use their shear bult of numbers to clear out the trenches. The Russian's exposed and remove the mines by stepping on them and detonating them. The Polish artillery and rifles forced the Russian attack to retreat.

The Russians dug trenches around Estonia and prepared to starve the Polish into submission but it was then that they realised, that was only part of the Polish army.
