Germany Tutorial: Take 2.

[thebigj_a]

let's just hope I can find a way to restore my posts

whenever I post more than 1 sentence, I get kicked out

Have you PMd a mod about it? I'm craving some more HOI3, this capaign is the only one I'll play for some reason.

Now I know how old play-by-mail games must have felt!

Thanks for this - I thought I knew what I was doing, but you can always learn it seems.

even Castellon, the head administrator, can't help me.
I'm afraid this may be the end...

What's wrong with it?

[WhAcKeD_OuT]

misterbean, what about setting up a new alternate user name?

impossible under forum rules.

If you try to do all the text in notepad or something like that and then paste it to the forum, maybe it will work.

Have you tried emailing the text to another user and asking them to post it?

Hi, many thanks for all this great info. I'm only part way through, but stumbled into a few questions.

Chapter 13: June –December 1936
On the 6th, a new militia gets done. Deploy it to Wilhelmshaven, rename it and attach it to the I. Sicherungskorps. Start a new one before unpausing.

Is there a gameplay reason you don't use serial builds, or is it just personal preference? I myself prefer serial in many instances.

Chapter 13: June –December 1936
One day later, the coastal forts are done. Ensure yourself that Emden, Wilhelmshaven, Hamburg and Kiel all have one.

You always only seem to build one fort or costal fort level pr. province, but it is possible to build up to level 10. Could you elaborate on this - Is the benefit of the first level greater than the rest? or is it just that it is better to have a marginal defence, than none...

which I'd be more than happy to do, all you'd need is a word or related style doc with the html codes (for colours, font, and embeds) set up in it. This is a bit of a pain but not too much extra.

One question misterbean, I have been following all your instructions, and keep building artillery, but now I can not find any infantry division to attach them, all the infantry brigades have the 3 divisions plus the arty, with the exception of the ones in East Prussia, where I can't deploy the arty. Where the remaining arty will be attached?.

Put the arty on a transport and send them over. As an alternative, send an arty equipped division over and bring an unequipped division back.

I will do that, but then after I have all the Infantry divisions with an arty, is there a reason to continue creating arty?, because we have already the template for an Infantry division to create 3 divisions + 1 arty.
Thanks

I hope you get the problem fixed. I am enjoying this.

Once all of your starting Infantry divisions have an arty attached, you do not need to build any additional arty brigades, since any newly built infantry will use the 3 Inf + 1 Arty template.

Dear Misterbean,

your AAR is great. I learned a lot and without enthusiast like you a game like HOI3 would be only have the fun it is. So I hope that the paradox admins find a solution for you soon.
From my point of view it should be their vital interest to do so.

Playing "together" with you brought up a few questions. 1) what about the oil supply. I have not been able to import a lot so the current stock is only about 12.000 points. Can you confert all the oil/fuel you need form the energy? Even in the later game? 2) You stated that you will not go for Norway because of the royal navy sinking the transports. It seems to me that it should be possible to defend these transports with the navy you are building and a few aditional marinebombers. But I have no enough experience in that field. Don't you think it is worth a try? Because you want to play more or less historical I would love to see what happens...

Hope to see more from you soon. Bye

The new forum software has some elaborate scripts build in which your current browser might not like, is it up to date?
Try using a different browser for posting your entries, there are lots to try from Firefox, Chrome, IE, Opera among many others.

If your trying to post from a wireless unit, give it a cable.

Then there might be all kinds of PC problems connected with updates, virus, is you PC updated with latest OS patches and anti-virus?

You can also write the entire entry in another program like notepad, Context, ultraedit and then past it in in one go.

[Surt]

I see your preferring militia as coastal protection, why do you chose those over Garrisons?

[thebigj_a]

Oh man, tell me this isn't dead!

Try another browser. I highly recommend Chrome.

[KyrionMyrthar]

Drat. I made it to the Anschluss, which fired at the end of June '37 for me. Now I don't know where you're going! I hope it all gets resolved somehow.

Let me second the recommendation of Chrome.
