A group of cargo ships had entered the port of San Diego during the night, as the sun was rising, curious people gathered around in the harbour to wonder what the ships were doing there. The ships appeared abandoned, untill at precisely 8.00 am, a trumpet was blown. A landing bridge was lowered simultaniously from all the ships and then, nothing. Minutes went by, the people were whispering questions to each others, wondering what was going on, what were the ships carrying.
Then, it appeared from the largest ship. The most beautifull thing one could see in the eve of annihilation by Germans.
A kiwi.
The tiny bird was followed by a general, and behind him, men, armed soldiers.
The general addressed the people gathering to watch the soldiers and equipment starting to get unloaded from the ships.
"People of San Diego! I am General Bernard Freyberg of the 1st New Zealand Army. Much has your country bled during the first months of this war, but I can say, that you will not bleed alone anymore! We will defend this city with our blood and our lives! And as I speak to you, more ships are roaming the Pacific. The entire Australian armed forces, led by General Blamey are nearing the Canadian shores in north, the Indian divisions are being transported along the entire west coast. Even the British are organizing an expeditionary force to be sent to fight in Canada.
Germans are far from their home, they have been slowed down by the mountains and deserts that are blocking the path to the Pacific. It is here, where we shall make our stand, it is here, where we shall see our first triumphs, and it is here, where the outcome of this war shall be decided! Be it victory, or death, we stand united!"
The crowd was roaring in joy, as the general finished and began giving orders to the officers and men, who suddenly were everywhere in the harbour.
So far the Wehrmacht has been undefeatable, rolling over most of Europe and North-America. But the tides are turning, the Allied fleets are scouring the Atlantic Ocean, taking back the naval supremacy, Axis-occupied Atlantic islands are being invaded to prevent their use as bases, the initial demoralizing shock is over, resulting in a strong fighting spirit for the Allies.
And now resistance is gathering up at the west coast to meet the Germans on land. ANZAC, Indian Army, British Forces and the remnants of the american divisions, a strong fighting force as such, but is it enough to stop the Axis advance?

Ha, :happy: very good answer to my questions Lord Jarski. I forgot that the commonwealth has some troops too. Still the Atlantic is a very big ocean, hard to find the German navy there.
German navy was never a real threat, was more worried about Germanys hordes of Naval bombers that got stationed to USA and Canada.
I presume once GER invaded CAN, the USA immediately took MC of ENG & commonwealth countries. Lord Jarski, was the game paused to allow you time to re-organise the AI's mess ? Didnt GER garrison the east coast of USA & CAN to keep their new airbases ? Ultimately, the USA/ENG navy has to sink GER transports taking surplus GER troops back to mainland europe in order to stop a pending SOV attack ? So agree, you do firstly need to limit the GER NAVs sinking your navy ships. I hope GER doesnt have an exploit planned that gets their army strategically redeployed back to Berlin (not that I think there is an exploit available, but with this game I suspect anything is possible).
Good to know, looking forward to the next update. A lot of creative thinking has been shown by you Urko to almost? deliver the knock out blow so quickly.
More seriously MagoonNZ, I won't rip/spoil much until we 3 have reached the same AAR date and can go forward.
BUT what I can tell you is those pets the mighty-cool-kiwi-lords-of-NZ have, and which you usually call 'human men', will perform in an a way that will fullfill the Kiwi Race with pride for training them so well xD.

Aye, I did take MC of Allies once I got in to the war and naturarly had a long pause trying to organize all that nonsense.
Creative thinking? Bloody obvious it was in the light of our silly rules
As has been discussed, USA is the last major power to gear up, so is extremely vulnerable to a quick defeat even up to a year after gearing up 1 event. As you said, the initial retooling time to start producing land divisions is a killer. I would expect a still weak USA to be focused on naval unit builds, given their much longer lead time. This makes their land vulnerability much worse at this time. I recall that the next vanilla fix will make the USA a bit stronger pre war so helping this problem.
This is where I think this game of chairs will go to next; Germany moves into America, Soviets move into Europe, United states & buddies moves to Shangri-La XD
Ohh well, I am sure Allies can still surprise but I guess the emm what was it called? ohh yea the second front in Europe! well... that might have to wait a bit.
Unless Germany forgot to put something on its coasts... something very important.
Well I am for Soviets but I think Germany should receive the Cookie of honor in my opinion.

USSR: Summer-Late 1940
After pocketing most of Romania and all of Bulgaria, Stalin decided to free the peoples of China, Korea and Indochina after all preparations had been made. It was hoped the war would end with Japan surrendering after the loss of all it's holdings in continental Asia, before mid-1941.
By December 17th 1940 the Red Army had advanced so far it was decided to begin the total liberation of the Chinese people.
Japan had taken many losses at the hands of the Red Army.
The USA planned to hold out on the west coast against the German hordes. Germany had created the repressive and regressive Confederate States of America.
The US navy had eventually managed some successes against Germany's overseas supply route.
The UK managed the tremendous achievement of annexing, the presumably undefended, Ethiopia.

Hehe, yes I am. Mainly thanks to a fellow AoDer named El Duck who has invited 5 other players (including me) to an online game.

Summer to late 1940 continued
After taking Turkey and parts of the Middle East, Stalin decided to re-create the Ottoman Empire under the perfect system of communism.
The war between Germany and the USA appeared to turn significantly in Roosevelt's favour as a German army was surrounded in Delano Peak. It seems the Axis leadership either prepared for such an American advance beforehand, or rushed into immediate action by placing massive fortifications to hold the line in Texas.

Allowing full IC takeover, & without a human ENG player, meant that GER became very strong.
Indeed, to compensate we allowed the USA to take MC over the UK (I think since 1939, but definitely once the USA joined the war it had MC).
