Wow, look at that advance into Russia! Thats very impressive - I feel sorry for all your abandoned units in the supply-chain though - send 'em all to Stalingrad - that will make them happy :)

Well, at the moment parts of my army core consists of 20% strength units, massive use of fieldmarshals and HQs are what keeps em pushing forward.
:D

Also there has been no vichy, if it was that the france rejected the idea or if it's because I started world war two a bit late I do not know.
 
Nice advance.

Don't worry for Vichy, at least in HOI 1 it was a worthless event.
I don't know how much TC costs you though, but if you want to avoid that, you could liberate the puppet from the diplomatic screen, couldn't you?

Nope, since Vichy also includes northern africa, which is in the process of becoming southern italy, and vietnam, laos and cambodia.

Furthermore, I realise things will get nasty since the British surrender only happens if i'm not at war with the USA and the USA surrenders only fires if I'm not at war with the USA and since france has the vichy event i don't think they have a bitter peace implemented. Furthermore the US army is starting to look really impressive since it consists of modern units and they have had eight years to build it. But, I am fully confident that the WunderWaffen late, late, late WWII strategy will be victorious! ;)
 
In the fall of 1921 Rathenau put together the "trust to end all trusts" the Siemens-Rheinelbe-Schuchert Union.
Siemens Was a major player in the electric field together with the schubert union it was only rivaled by the german GE. But it did not supply it's on raw material. The Rheinelbe Union on the other hand was a merger of major coal and iron concerns. This Horizontal and vertical merger (Horizontal merger is a merger within the same field) took care of all the previous weaknesses. This created the biggest self sufficient empire ever in the business world.

In 1922 he was killed by an antisemite who blamed him and the big business for germanys defeat.

Nothing Could be further from the truth, the Super Companies were the ones who held out the longest against a german surrender, and this time, they would be victorious.

Pictures speak more than words.







The soviets were pushed back and late november the size of their army was smaller than that of the United State.

The fleet planned an amphibious landing in alexandria or El Alamein that would cut the British african army in two.

With almost all of European Russia in german hands Stalin sued for peace on the first day of the new year. The Soviet union was now an Asian country. Georgia was released to make better use of the Oil empire created by Nobel. That year heavy political pressure on norway rewarded the chairman of IG Farben, the nobel peace prize for his courageous peacemaking negotiations with the soviets (and his adamant stand of a noninvasion of norway).





The landing in Alexandria was a smashing sucess and the Turbojet Close Air Support soon reduced the remaining divisions to nothing. More important, germany had now built a second nuclear warhead, and a third was well underway.



The first step in the next phase of the war was the disbanding on all obsolete, and understrengthed divisions. Germanys military was no longer the worlds largest, but the most modern and the most armor intense. With the new semi-modern tank almost developed nothing would stand in the way of germanys military and industry.

The german Kriegsmarine and her 8 carriers would first secure africa, Iraq and allied holdings on the arabian peninsula.

The next stage would of course be the invasion of the United states. Though the further preparations had to be made including the construction of an additional nuclear missile, the invasion was scheduled for early june, and iceland would have to be seized first.

Wow nice work in Russia and it seems the Wunderwaffen are doing the trick for you.

New York and DC better watch out for the next nuke.......

The debate has been raging in the military industrial Complex on whether the nukes are to be used Strategically, i.e. against the largest concentrations of men resources and industry, or tactically i.e. as a support of the army. In the case of Kiev the usage was tactical primarily since no rocket with a range sufficient range to get to province with the most men, and not nearly enough range to get to moscow. But the tactical usage proved to be a smash hit, so I suspect you will once again se a tactical usage rather than a strategic one.
 
OK that is true, tactical it was a succes but a hit on a important city as New York with possible also a lot of troops might prove very succesfull too.

As the USA will loose that city, it will be hampered in its war effort. For tactical reasons it might not be the best choice but man it would be a first strike!
 
Using nukes for troops destruction seems to be the wisest course of action.

I agree with elbasto - tactical use of nukes to create a gap in shore defence or to wipe out a capital beseiged with 40+ divs in it seems the wsest move

That is likely to be the usage, but the main objective is not to destroy the largest concentration of divisions in one strike, but to give the army the biggest advantage. In the case of Kiev it was actually one of the least heavily defended border provinces with only 17 divisions compared to an average of 25 and a max of 36 (I did some probe attacking to select the proper target), but the potential for making a hole in the soviet defencelines was unmatched. especially since a City is easy to hold, even after it has been reduced to 0 infra. That strike only netted me 17 divisions out of the soviets 4-500 something, wise use of the gap it generated on the other hand destroyed something like 70 divisions and gave me stalingrad, the caucasus and most of ukraine.

Though I must admit, if my rocket had had the range I would have ditched the fancy strategy and had just taken out the 36 divisions. And I very much doubt there will be any room for maneuver on the shores of USA and canada, since they've had lots of time to prepare, gear up and produce.

Actually I thought about invading norway and releasing it as a puppet just to make the line even better, with Vidkun Quisling handing out the medal as a thank you for the liberation from the socialist democrats, but I thought that would be taking the joke too far...

I don't know - I laughed!

You have a warped mind - I like that!

Not the peace prize, when the nobel prizes were created sweden and norway was in a "union", but since norway never wanted to be a part of it it was disolved in 1905.

However a few years earlier when the nobel prize was created Alfred Nobel had decided that the peace price would be handed out by the norweigians and the other by the swedes, so The peace prize are decided by the norwegians, and if I remember correctly, handed out in Oslo. The other prices you get in stockolm.
 
Denmarks defeat was sealed one day after the declaration of war, predictably the USA grabbed greenland and Iceland. A week later a german taskforce starting in northern scotland (where only a few miles away 14 allied divisions we're still holding on to a few islands) retook iceland. Striking from Iceland allowed the kriegsmarine access to the american continent, but just barely. The landing had to take place in Labrador. Late April the first wave of panzers landed. They came as far as Sept-Îles before meeting any noteworthy resistance. But that was indeed noteworthy resistance and the Wehrmacht we're pushed back to labrador. Our 20 divisions were holed up and surrounded by 40 divisions, the finest the US and Canadian army could muster. On the 16th and 17th respectively the Beseiging army at Radisson and the army approaching from Quebec we're destroyed by Germanys Wonder Weapon. The nuclear warhead that had destroyed Kiev had been a mere semi-fission Bomb, these we're fully fissioning bombs. The 40 divisions were laid to waste, their tanks irradiated, the men blinded and burned. thousands incinerated, but most just deserting and fleeing into the wilderness leaving their material behind, many of them to later die by radiation poisoning. The army that was holding Sept-Îles was routed only hours after the second bomb and the next day reinforcements from La Coruña arrived. The american spirit had been broken.





With their defences broken the americans retreated, 12 Canadian divisions found themselves retreating until their backs were facing the atlantic and were stuck in Cape Breton.

Within 2 months New York had fallen and the Only baltimore lay between the Wehrmacht and the White House.



In africa the british had been pushed out of abbesinia, and most of eastern africa lay in german hands and the italians were slowly eating away at the western part. Iraq had been annexed and released, together with a myriad of other states in the middle east.

Now all that remained was digesting the american continent. Two months later it was all over but the shouting.



in december our panzers had reached Spokane, site of the Spokane free speach fight of 1910. Which we can now declare as finally settled. Surprisingly, in the same month an attempt at breaking out of the beseiged capital of Richmond was succesful, and a penance had to be exacted. All in all, this boded for a less than merry christmas for the americans.





Now all that remained was India, south africa and the pacific. But the allied spirit had been broken. With all of the major allies capitals and mainlands in german hands, their industries destroyed and conquered and their assets and resources seized, there was really nothing more they could do. Victory belonged to Germany. Time had worked for her, and two years of war was all it had taken to create something eternal. From now on workers of the world would tremble at the names of IG Farben, Krupp and Siemens.
 
ouch, three nukes... that must hurt.
