## Background

The P-51 Mustang was an American long-range, single-seat fighter and fighter-bomber used by the Allied forces in WWII. The Mustang was first developed for the RAF and was first used as a tactical-reconnaissance aircraft and fighter-bomber. Later variants were designed to perform better at higher altitude (above 15,000 ft), allowing the aircraft to compete with the Luftwaffe's fighters. In WWII the aircraft was used by the British and Americans alike, both as an escort for bombing raids over Germany and as a fighter-bomber. It is claimed that Mustang pilots destroyed 4,950 enemy aircraft and that it played a large role in ensuring Allied air superiority in 1944.
Stranglehold

**Stranglehold** is a Tactical Order in *Kards - The WWII CCG*.

## Background

What started as an Allied blockade of Germany, and a subsequent German counter-blockade of Allied shipping routes, came to be the longest campaign of WWII, the Battle of the Atlantic. During this time the German Kriegsmarine avoided large fleet engagements and instead they used their large fleet of submarines, and small groups of cruisers and battleships, to disrupt the logistics of the enemy by attacking Allied merchant ships. The Battle of the Atlantic ended with an Allied victory, but at a great cost. From 1939 until the war ended in 1945, the Allies lost 3,500 merchant ships and 175 warships while Germany lost 783 U-boats and 47 warships.

The Lancaster was first used in the strategic bombing offensive over Europe in 1942 and after that it operated in almost every major bombing raid in the European conflict.
Machines of War

## Background

During the opening stages of the German invasion of the Soviet Union, the Red Army faced a serious shortage of weapons. The course of the war went on in such a way that the most available munitions were lost, along with its troops who were either killed or captured, destroyed during a retreat or captured by the enemy in warehouses. The development and manufacturing of munitions in the Soviet Union had begun before the invasion, but in 1941 they stepped up their game and most of their weapon production was done during the invasion, in some cases under siege and isolation. From 1941 to 1945, the soviet Union managed to produce over 30 million rifles and submachine guns, 1476 million machine guns, 516,648 artillery guns, 347,900 mortars, 119,869 tanks and self-propelled guns, 265,600 army trucks, 213,742 military aircraft, 2 cruisers, 25 destroyers and 52 submarines.

## Strategy

**Machines of War** can be combo'd with Observer Corps to deploy 272nd Guards on turn 3 and target it with Red Banner on the forth turn to get two Iosef Stalin II can be very powerful, but it needs a combination of luck and cards management.

The plan involved taking 12 men on six canoes, by submarine, and to paddle from the Gironde Estuary area to Bordeaux by night.

**Joint Operation** is a Tactical Order in *Kards - The WWII CCG*.

## Background

German military tactics during WWII focused on combined arms in their operations and played a fundamental part in their Blitzkrieg doctrine.

The Blitzkrieg doctrine proved less successful against the Soviet defenses, and by 1943 Germany was forced into a defensive war on all fronts.
Winter Warfare

**Winter Warfare** is a Tactical Order in *Kards - The WWII CCG*.

## Background

The Russian winter was a substantial contributing factor in the Soviet victory over the invading German forces in WWII. The winter temperature in Moscow isn't extremely cold, but it so happens that the winter of 1941-1942 was the coldest of the 20th century. The Wehrmacht was by no means prepared for a winter war, the German high command thought the war would be over long before it would hit, and before winter struck they were already overextended and badly supplied. The Soviets were better prepared, with winter uniforms, equipment designed for the cold and having the huge advantage of being on the defending side, compared to attacking in winter cold.

At the start of WWII over 1,000 M.S.406s were in French service, which made it France’s most numerous fighter and one of two French fighters capable of 400 km/h. During the Battle for France the aircraft provided mixed results. The aircraft was highly maneuverable, but there were technical setbacks and it had very low firepower. In some cases the M.S.406 was effective, even against the German BF 109, but overall the losses were high (approx.150 aircraft were lost in combat), and the aircraft is considered to be the least effective French fighter in service during the Battle of France. Many M.S.406s were captured by the Germans after the fall of France, some were used for training purposes while others were sold.

## Background

The Hawker Typhoon, also nicknamed Tiffy by RAF pilots, was a British fighter-bomber produced by Hawker Aircraft. It was originally intended as a medium to high altitude interceptor, but it never took on that role due to several design problems. When the Typhoon came into service in 1941 it was the only aircraft that could catch up with the German Focke-Wulf and as a result it took on a role as a low-altitude interceptor. Later it established itself as a night time intruder and long-range fighter. From 1942 to 1943 bombs and later RP-3 rockets were added to its arsenal, and along with its 4 x 20mm Hispano autocannons it became the most powerful ground-attack aircraft of WWII.
