Re: How to cripple a WWII army
I suppose. Though the ocean is suddenly impassible does give you the units cut off from home all over the world effect T2K uses a lot of.

Re: How to cripple a WWII army
Why not just look at historical campaigns and see how wwii armies get crippled?

The Stand by Stephen King has something like 99.99% of people on Earth dying (as in roughly 1:10,000 lived) from a bioengineered flu escaping an Army lab followed by a Biblical good versus evil showdown involving the survivors. It takes place sometime around the late 1970s, but nothing in your scenario is stopping a Nazi lab headed by Dr. Mengele from doing TL6/7 bioengineering to the Spanish Flu or something equally nefarious.

Re: How to cripple a WWII army
What exactly are the demons?
Apart from stranded units with: busted radios, out of fuel, no ammo, no support, no rapid fire, no indirect fire and low on food is not bad enough... there are mine fields, heavy fire power from the enemy (rapid fire weapons, tanks, indirect fire weapons and aerial support etc) being surrounded and outnumbered, being captured etc. These demons again? Do they bleed and die that are somewhat other world ugly BEMs? From an old 2000AD story Fiends of the Eastern Front - vampires. I think this has been done in: Quote:

Re: How to cripple a WWII army
Winter? That's a threat in more than just knocking society over though

Re: How to cripple a WWII army
To the Russians "General Winter" and "Marshall Mud" are just as powerful as the American "Admiral Pacific" and "Admiral Atlantic" and just as functionally unpassable.

Re: How to cripple a WWII army
I was thinking of just that effect. I was thinking of applying it on a world wide scale: all of europe gets the russian treatment. The US has to stop and deal with all of the problems back home. Its a nasty way to cripple a WWII army -- that will do more than just cripple the army.

Re: How to cripple a WWII army
If you're using demons , have them use the weapon most associated with them in myth : malevolent influence and destructive gifts .
Let them gain the trust and control of the leadership on both sides {maybe they masquerade as angels to some and polymath patriots to others} and massively accelerate the development of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction ; then they use those leaders they now own {one might even be a demon wearing his skin ; make it Churchill for greater effect} to have both sides deploy the new weapons en mass . There is your Twilight '45 .

Re: How to cripple a WWII army
If you really want to cripple an army you might want to try Marshal Graziani or the British chap who was meant to be defending Malaya.

Re: How to cripple a WWII army
Have a major meteorite slam into Yellowstone, causing the volcano to have a grand eruption. The middle part of the U.S. is now an ash-laden wasteland and the Americans have things to think about apart from war. You also get a Fimbulwinter (three years without a summer) causing world-wide starvation and anarchy. Have it cool enough and the Germans can walk to London.
