Retreating units are automatically destroyed, right? Yes, it would probably be more realistic if they still fought to the point where they drop to 0 org. They regain org while retreating, after all.

If a retreating unit arrives in a province without the presence of enemy units, it gains control of the province (even if not in supply)...so that's kind of like what you described. This is why I'm careful to leave at least 1 unit in the province which the enemy is retreating towards so I don't have to refight them.

October 1, 1939 - Industrial Status:

15 days into my 30 day Operational Plan to destroy German production capability, I can see that I've made significant progress. In the remaining 2 weeks, I'll place my emphasis on taking the 31 IC in and around Berlin.

OnwAARds to Berlin!

Really I must say that you got quite the talent of map making.

Seconded. Ever thought of making graphics as a job?

**robw963** · 24-09-2008 14:44

I LOVE maps. A dream job for me would be as a cartographer. Don't let me near Google Earth...I can spend hours in there. I'm very lucky to have a job that lets me do graphics and design but I'll admit I have a lot more fun making graphics for this AAR than I do making graphics for my clients.

If you need more images - have a look at those pages

military industry, lots of images of various weaponry - http://www.konflikty.pl/artykul-pozn...tnosc-597.html

weapons, radiostations (and other equipment), unit structures and tactics - http://www.wojsko18-39.internetdsl.p...sien/index.htm

and an exhausting collection of designs which entered production, but only small numbers were ready in 1939 or were planned including super heavy and heavy siege guns and mortars - http://odkrywca.pl/sprzet-ktory-nie-...24.html#182824

there might be rocket propelled granades, remotely controlled weapons and automatic machine guns/cannons which used infrared sensors and similar - but I have found only descriptions for now at least.

I hope you will find something useful.

Thank you very much! I'll find these extremely useful

Amazing...!

I've been reading this all this morning. I'm very impressed. I've tried twice to defend Poland against the nazi invader, and both ended up in disaster. Now I think I'll try for a third time.
Thank you. Please, keep it up! I want to know what does crossing the Spree westward feels like!

Ah the germans have lost their industrial might, but now they could be won, would someone do something on the western front.

Or Poland just eats all of it.

Oh, I know that! What I mean is that, in my opinion, it would be more realistic (for what that's worth) if they thought on even if you leave some unit behind, to the point that they only surrender and are destroyed at 0 org.

Just a 2c comment :-)

I love your maps as well. Some of the best maps I've ever seen in an AAR are right here

**Eldarion72** · 25-09-2008 13:34

I'd love to see the next update!
I'm going to start my new game with Poland tonight!
Maybe I'll have an AAR of my own!

Józef had yet another dream last night he wanted to share with everyone:

Updates are coming and Berlin is on the agenda!

You're kidding me? Back in school when I was bored on history lessons (cause I've already read the chapter the teacher was talking about) I was staring at, and drawing maps. With borders looking the way they should be :>.
