Heh I've spent so much time playing minors recently that I get shocked to hear you call 50 manpower "low".
Good luck!
Great AAR so far. The tension is extremely high after that last post.
I cant see that you have built much of a fleet. Gibralter is the key, if you fail there your Balkans Empire will be lost.
Is there a particular reason for you to build so many fixed AA positions? I thought they do not add to construction practical in FTM any more.
It's war! Let's see how the French react: will they strip their German borders, weakening themselves even more against German aggression, to safeguard their southern borders with you?
In past games, the British have Strategically Bombed Yugoslavia a lot (when I played as Germany and Italy). So most of my AA positions are to protect provinces with high IC somewhat from Strat Bombing. From what I understand, fixed AA also builds artillery practical.
Good planning but I hope game will reward you for it. The British Strategic Bombers are wrecking Milan in my AAR, even with level three AA.
Lets hope that the Border is left relatively weak so you can make the major advances!
That may not happen, since the French use a different theatre to manage southern France, and the AI isn't good at balancing existing units between the needs of its theatres. What might happen is that troops are redirected from the Italian border, which will just make that front collapse all the more quickly.

I must admit to a certain degree of ambivalence: I look forward to a long and interesting AAR, but part of me also wishes to see the French march in and restore the Republic. Well, that's never going to happen...
I see you decided to take out the biggest threat in the east first, Zog will not be around to make you kneel! now nothing can stop you
The early going promises to be good. Onwards to Gibraltar, onwards to Bordeaux!
I hope the French Army wont give you a nasty surprise once you reach that river. The expansion of the Spanish colonies in North-Africa will go quite easy I think, nothing really there to oppose you I look forward to the next update!
Can't you set war goals for all members of the Allies?

Strike him down and he shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine...
Will the Rock shatter? Thats quite a force you have gathered for the offensive, 10 divisions in all. Are they 3inf+1art each?
The Pyrenees front looks good, not many French division in sight.
