Interesting...yeaah! perhaps just a little too interesting for the Fuehrer's taste.Caught up again; some very interesting developments there, chiefly the early war with the USA.

A preemptive strike by the Soviets would not break me but would be very challenging since the Heer is not fully redeployed (and the Luftwaffe is almost non-existent on this border yet).

How I miss giving things away to incompetent allies in HOI3
The US might become scary in time, just keep some divisions at their favourite invasion sites.

I guess the day should still be May, instead of June?
Why did the interceptors stay idle?

That's June, thank you. It is fixed.I guess the day should still be May, instead of June?

I am not sure why they stayed idle. It may have had something to do with the night. :blush:

Assigning naval bombers to Bremen in preparation for "Atlantis"....is your target Iceland by any chance?
Good update, nice to see the USA already facing you head on, and greatly looking forwards to the coming battle with the Soviet Union.

Iceland is a good guess. It was empty the last time that a surface fleet was close-by but the USA were at peace. It is true that it would have provided a huge boost to my NAVs if I had tried and succeeded a daring raid when they entered the war but I didn't want to do it. First it would have exposed my limited amount of convoys but mostly I consider that it would have been unrealistic considering the IRL limitations of the Wehrmacht. To do that, it would require bases in England I guess.
Glad that you are looking forward to Barbarossa...I am not sure that I am
It will be a daunting task for the AAR. By the way and coincidentally, Barbarossa may start with the... 200th updateIn this update, you will see that the bad feeling that I got on June 2nd is totally justified. And since there is something that Germany can't do, it really stinks for the Fuehrer.

So the trouble is that your allies are losing convoys and you can't prevent it or send them more convoys, right? (You could cheat a little and use 'acceptall' to force them to give you the island provinces, simulating direct German military control).
Still, these are minor hindrances; the war will be won or lost in the USSR

Orders have been issued to sink the Tennessee, at any cost!
For me, that's a major hindrance. My entire plan for the defense of Africa was relying on the control of the invasion approaches, i.e. these sea lanes. And to win Barbarossa, I need to avoid this kind of distraction.So the trouble is that your allies are losing convoys and you can't prevent it or send them more convoys, right?

Now, if several readers agree that I can take momentarily control of these islands with 'acceptall', that is probably what I will do -soon-.

Using acceptall in this situation is not a cheat at all. The game does not allow you to do something that would be quite logical: to supply by yourself your troops in an allied province. Therefore, doing an acceptall is the only way to avoid starvation.
Yeah, I'm fine with it. It's a real life, logical and historical mechanism which is not modeled in-game.
i agree with this just as well, as this thing is based only on that, that there is very difficult to model tc that overlaps not just your provinces.
Ok, since there is a consensus, I will take the control of the islands once I will be done with the material already gathered.
I would have liked to do the opposite thing and give Morocco to Spain (as the event was supposed to work) but I would have to manipulate the save. Perhaps later.
Yep, the German Intelligence has it all right

Less than two weeks to Barbarossa can't wait.. Curious to see how it goes. Good luck!
No big reply this time, i'm holding my breath for the coming action along with the Volk.
Allow me to add my voice to the consensus of those saying that the German military seizing control of the sea lanes and islands in the ways of said sea lanes is totally reasonable. If Spain could hit the British fleets/Portugal had a single combined fleet worth sending out to take on the British (do they?), the Reich would not need to resort to such measures. They will rest reassured to know that their patience will be rewarded in the long term; the Reich's foreign office is known for keeping treaty promises, after all!
Also, in the coming days before Barbarossa, if Japan launches a noticeable Pacific offensive, this one would find it cool to see the results of said offensive by the end of the 21st. As in pics.

The tension. THE TENSION! A mere couple of updates until The Bear will be put to the test.
Hopefully two weeks will be enough time for your planes to regain organisation.
And do the acceptall thing. It will only offset limitations of the engine.

It will have to go well. It will be a matter of 5-7 weeks...as historically
Well, Malaysia has already been wristed away from the British yoke. Happy?
2 weeks will be enough for the ORG, not for the strength.
The only problem with acceptall is that it will show to the entire world the very serious German limits regarding convoys and escorts

Large LW losses should be either too aggressive settings or too bad techs ...
I usually prioritize ftr tech over all others as losing the air superiority => troop/industrial/moral losses, next inf or armour techs to defeat land enemies, but industrial techs and doctrines can't be neglected either, fleet can until the USSR is defeated.
