Thread needs no explanation, post your greatest turning points/comebacks while playing!
I was playing as USSR, and was invaded from the east by millions of US troops. They pushed me back all the way to Moscow, and I desperately threw my last divisions at them. Wouldn't you know it, we actually managed to push them back a little! Production of new units and arms began immdediately. It ended with 27 US divisions fleeing into the Bering Strait, only to be sunk by my fleet that had been there waiting for them since day one.

As the USSR in Steps To A Gobal War:
I was invaded historicly by Germany in 1941, i was pushed all the way back to the Urals! I managed to build a couple groups of conscripts and basic infantry which I desperatly threw at the advancing Blitzkrieg onslaught, It caught both sides by suprise, I had halted their advance, in the meantime, new divisions of medium and light tanks began arriving to Kazakistan and Middle Volga. These new divisions helped recapture Moscow, and then, just before a mass surge of german panzers arrived, 2 british armies arrived, 4 improved infantry in one army, and 4 medium tanks and 5 improved infantry in the other. They recaptured Ladoga Karelia, Karelia, Kola, and Ingermanland from the Germans. I immidiately began producing conscripts in Leningrad (Good idea seeing as how my armies were almost there to reinforce).
With American, French, and British help, I pushed the Germans all the way back to Berlin. I beat everyone else to capturing Berlin, I occupied all of the balkans. And after I left the allies, I simpily engaged them in a cold war. I helped Communist China after some miricale of Chinese military access.
Actually I have a Russian scenario made that should solve that problem.
It's a modification of The Limits of Peace (1936), that upgrades several Russian cities a bit, gives them medium tanks researched, and a slight military buff. Nothing overpowered, just a jumpstart for people who like jumping right into the action. I made sure it wasnt enough to just take on Germany right off the bat.
Not sure whether or not I should post it though.

In my "The Fall of a Giant" scenario, I found it extremely east to simpily overrun the USSR as Germany, but in my updated version included in The Blitzkrieg Unleashed, I made the USSR military large enough to stall a Garman advance, not enought to conquer Garman on-the-spot though.
I agree about the USSR. It always seems easy to overrun the Red Army in '41.

Today I was playing as Germany. I decided to be a nice Germany. But of course there were the events as the Anschluss of Austria and the Munich agreement. The last one was the problem... Until then I was just industrializing. My army remained the same as it was in the beginning, and my navy was stationed in port. Also, I noticed that my airforce was not big at all.
So...the munich agreement. I got the choice of demanding Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia or just threaten with war. I thought, I want to be nice and just demand the damn thing. Wrong choice! France didn't like that, so they declared war. No problemo, if it just was france. I can handle that. I placed my forces allongside the border to just hold them off. But hell, Italy was my ally! France was in a full out attack on Piedmont. I had to help my (stupid) friend out, otherwise they would go through Austria into Germany. But then I got attacked in Wurtemberg, and they took it... Well... point is, I had a hard fight with the french. And because I did not make a single army in all that time ( it is now late 1938), I had no advantage of any kind. I decided my navy should do something, because my airforce was gone. Navy dead destroyed due to the fact the Brtish Alliance joined the war. Hungary and Romania joined my side. (that was all in one turn). 4 turns later, Russia declares war to me... They are advancing through Romania and are threatening my East fornt. A turn later, the UK invades me in Oldenburg (? near the netherlands, in the north, bordering the north sea).
Now I face 4 fronts! North (against invading brits), East (the soviets), South (the french in Italy), and the west (the french and the brits in France).
Did I survive?
Yes.
Situation right now:
I conquered France till they offered peace I pushed the brits into the North Sea I Conquered half of Russia, till they joined my alliance (as I demanded all of the demands) I pushed the french forces out of Italy.
Sidenotes: I produce armies in every city to manage this. I am now at war with Japan (weird japs..) I am bigger and stronger then the British Alliance. I used Nationalist Spain as a diversion (as in them joining me) to distract France. I am almost contructed an Atlantic Wall whcih can withstand almost everything.
A turning point. But it was a close call in my opinion...

That's just unbelievable! How could you ever have handled all that?

Like I said, I had to produce basic infantry and light tanks in almost every german city. When they came out of the factory, I immediatly send them to Wurtemmberg (later Alsac-Lorraine and futher into france), the north of Italy (later on it became futher more into Italy and more towards Piedmont) and Romania. In that way all battles were saved for being lost and eventually they became victories, because I think France did not produce as much as I did. And Russia, well...I never understood what there are doing all the time...
Romania was lost by the way. Although I now re-establsihed them. The brits in Oldenburg were not that strong. So it gives a small boost for other battles when my armies there became available.
Oh, and because I started as 'a nice and friendly Germany which only industrialized', I had pretty big stockpiles of goods and arms, so my armies had just enough supplies for their needs.
But like I said, it was a close call. If the battles took longer then it did, my stockpiles were not big enough. And I asked Beglium for military acces, and they gave it (is always handy, like I said before ;) ). With that, I was able to throw a single army form the factory in westphalia, through belgium, into Picardy orr...I believe Champagne. In that way I disrupted any reinforments coming to Alsac-Lorrain.
Ehm...I think about the things I did to save my ass. I have to say it takes a lot of orders to organize the defense on that scale... Well..after a while I needed fast movement, because the time to reach the battle in Romania took me 3 weeks or so. From that point I decided to only produce light tanks. Takes longer to produce, but are quicker. Oh, and I asked Nationalist Spain for my alliance, and they joined. They took 2 french territorries in the south of France, so France had to deal with that too. Nationalist Spain did not gain any region with the war.
Well, I'm sorry for this un-organized post, but I don't feel to re-write it, so you have to deal with it.
P.S.
I can show a picture of the situation right now.

I should have made an AAR out of this.

I still can do that.

I was playing a game where Japan controled the pacific, I built 9,600 combat power worth of fast battleships (Only). In five turns, Japan's navy went from 80 ships to 8 ships. Then I proceeded to take the home islands and make peace.

I once played a user-made scenario (I don't remember which one) which took place in WWI, but no units were on the map. You literally had to start from scratch. You only had on or twp industrial cities (even the United States). I played as Austria-Hungary and for some reason the Germans hated me. So I spend the first 100+ turns of the game industrializing, but Germany has an advantage over me - they have enough resources to industrialize and build an army. Germany declares war on me. At this point I have maybe the 4th best military, but Germany flattens my forces. I am forced to produce basic infantry as fast as I can and establish a weak border (after losing the Czech and Slovakian areas). Italy enters the war on my side (strange scenario), so I have a little help. For the next 30 turns I am barely stopping constant assaults on my territory. The only reason I had a chance at surviving was because Germany was also at war with France and Great Britain and was devoting more resources to blitz France. Then (for some demented reason), the UK and France declare war on me.Now I'm in a three way war.
Germany finally bights off more than he can chew when they invade Poland too. Poland stops them and allies with me. Germany didn't expect to lose - they had almost no eastern defenses. So I mass my few cavalry units and blitz Germany, taking all of northern Germany in 2 turns. Only Munich a few southern areas remained. So I made peace with Germany before they could recall their troops from France (they later conquer France).
But it all ends happily. I conquer almost the entire world. Only the United States wouldn't fall. They had no navy, but masses land units in huge fortified positions. I was too lazy to finish.
The End.
I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

you are probably right. I do not know the meaning of P.S. at all :)

I was the UK, and i had just finished industrializing, the Germans had me surrounded.... they had almost all of Europe. As a last stand, i sent all my tanks into Normandy... that joke of a last stand was somehow a push enough for me to liberate France, then Spain, then more. Now, Germany and Italy and Argentina do not exist, and my only enemy is Japan (will play this out tomorrow)
