You know what would keep the Yanks out of the war ? A rushed amphibious landing in Canada. Its obvius that you have the naval superiority in the Atlantic and you control Iceland, Greenland. Easy task, unless you don't have any troops to spare.
The Hermes Chapter was a cruiserg with a CVL added in, I think the actual flagship of that fleet was the CA HMS Effingham, who survived the battle. The Chapter was named after the Hermes simply because it was a historical ship, and I think one of the last Centaur-Class CVL's in my posessionSuch is war

Excuse my ignorance but what's a cruiserg?
Suscribed to this thread, tis a nice story... I'm following from now on
Tommy4ever: cruiserg is a fleet based on the zergling rush from starcraft.
It's a fleet that consists of only cruisers combined with a clv.
the idea is that light cruisers of 2 levels higher shoot as far as heavy cruisers, so all the fleet shoots at same distance. So instead of a small amount of battleships firing at optimal range everything will fire and zergling rushing your oponents fleet.
Further more those cl's are nice cannonfodder, cheap to replace and quick to build.
CLV's are usefull to close up to carriers

A hip term for a fleet consisting of cruisers
. My RN uses Grand Fleets (traditional BB+CVL+screen), cruisergs (various construction) and Carrier Fleets. Ironically, later on the AI starts hitting us with some godawfull gamey tactics, like fleets consisting of 14 carriers and an over-the-limit amount of DD's, smashing everything in their way. Luckily, Laurence found a hilarious way to counter them in '44 . But you'll see that later onWell, you see, the thing is
And if you want BB's, we've got some coming your way soon. Later in the war, I even build SHBB. Oh yeah, that's right, I'm going after the Yamato WWI-style

I forgot about the insanely large AI advantage, and with some traditional fleets I guess its fine.
ps your sig says ''Moomsday''

Whoa, thats around 10 times more than I expected. Turkey is still a threat since if the Tojo or anyone else reinforces it, it can be a huge pain in the ass.

I'd like to add to that:
Yes, we are playing Hearts of Iron 2 Moomsday. You can check the bottom-right corner of the graphic in the first post and the titling.
It's like Doomsday, but F****** hardcore

Dude, why put CVL in a CTF? I think everyone agrees that is a bad formation.
Aside that, I think this a great Idea and a GREAT AAR

Thanks to all newcomers, we're very excited to see that we're finally building a base of subcribers. We're getting together tonight to continue work on the AAR, and we'll post an update before we start. Pass the word

December
To break the Turkish defence and pave the way for the Wehrmacht to cross the Strait, the Royal Navy deployed four recently assembled Battleships: the HMS Anson, Duke of York, Prince of Wales and King George V.
After a quick sweep of the area, the Anson task Force commenced shelling of the Turkish positions on the 7th of December 1941. The shelling lasted for 14 consecutive days, ending at the 21st. After the bombardment was over, the fort-cities of Manisa, Balikesir, çanakkale and Körfez had been completely levelled, and the Turkish defensive positions grinded to dust. Two days later, German forces crossed the Strait. They quickly overcame the disorganised and fatigued defenders, and soon the entire Turkish North Coast was under Pact control. In the meanwhile, Turkey had been pushed back from Syria and was now losing ground fast on both fronts. The end of Turkey was near.
In South-Africa, British armies had already occupied most of the nation’s key strategic cities, as only the coastal provinces remained
Unwilling to continue the fight, South-Africa was the first Allied State to sign unconditional surrender with the Channel Pact. The Union of South-Africa was abolished, and the Dominion of South-Africa reinstated. South-Africa was once more a colony of the British Empire
Back on the British Isles, the population was enraptured by the news of the annexation: The reestablishment of the Dominion of South-Africa was seen by many as the first step towards the Imperial Restoration for which the British Empire aimed.

Great!
I think that the germans should let turkey for the british. They take even Istanbul and let the rest to the British.
This maybe can be a compensation for Noth Africa... Germany should focus more on Europe and Caucassus... While British Empire on the Middle East, Africa, Asia, etc.
Anyway... What's the next step? New Zeland, Australia, Tokyo ? :rofl:
Good work!

Chapter IV: Black sand, Rising sun
In Asia, the Royal Navy struggled to gain control over the Pacific. On December 15, 1941, the Cruiser Chapter and the Eagle Chapter encountered the dreaded Combined Fleet A in the South Spratly Sea

Ever tried picking anything up from Kanitalan's strategies to handle those oversized armies?
I cant believe how badly that Japanese CV got damaged but yet survived. Did you manage to sink it in the end?
Anyway if the comparison of naval tech is that bad across the board then surely your screwed

No, but I am intruiged
. Where can we find those strategies?Ironically, I have absolutely no idea. the AI isn't too specific in it's carrier naming, so there are at least three Hiyo's in the Pacific at this moment.
technologically, I am one tech ahead of Japan, currently fighting with V's and developing VI's. Unfortunately, I have only 8 "modern" carriers and escorts, the rest are simply remnants of what I started with in 36, in best case reinforced with some better DD's. This, opposed to Japan which has at least 15 modern carriers and 3 old ones. And '41 isn't even their peak year
. As things are right now ('44), we are heading into a Democracy's Last Leg's kind of situation, with the crucial difference that we control badass fascist world empires, and an ungodly amount of nukes. It's on! :rofl:Another reason to celebrate, our AAR has recently surpassed 200 pages in word!
(Pagina's is dutch for pages)
An update is coming this evening, another one tomorrow and probably one on tuesday too to celebrate. Let's keep The Channel Pact on page 1!
Cheers,
