Hmm you make a good point about Motorized and Mechanized, It shall be adopted!

We would also like to point out that the armored division shall be purely based on a light tank chassis.
To keep up production but keep the costs low, we will also be designing around reliability and not firepower.

Il Duce also inquires as to the Fuhrers health, and hopes he is recovering well.
I personally thank Il Duce for his inquiry, and am please to report he is recovering well at some bunker in the middle of nowhere. In order to prevent nationwide panic, we had the audio recording (don't ask me how or why we were recording) of my 2 hour 'conversation' broadcast-ed while he recovers. Surprisingly, the Führer's German when he is that angry is complete utter gibberish, but the people just assumed it was something about the evils of communism or lebensraum ;)

Ah we are relieved at this news! We have already turned your praise for our field hospital use into a propaganda reel and the Italian people are rallying to the recruitment centers!
It must be because of al the beautifull Italian nurses.... :p

I'll let the OP confirm any requests to join but the USA should still be free, welcome!
We'll still have to see who is still here over 3 months and what time we could play but let's have fun anyway!

as I got a nice look at the generic focus tree plans will most likely be this:

start in industry tree and get research bonus for industry going for my research teams. Then get some for the military and continue down industry all the way (more factories! :p) by 1939 I expect a competent industry and army that can hold out against the brits and french and overrun those incompetent Dutch soldiers. Ofc I'll have to go down the political path to join the great axis alliance :p

I think you are confused between the city of Rotterdam and Amsterdam as Amsterdam is the Dutch capital :p. but dw they are incompetent they will fall definitely against my glorious army :D.

Greetings general Ben

Here is my general game plan for USA:

Early years, expand the industry, mainly with more civilian factories because the economy law USA start with make civilian factories significant cheaper but make military factories more expensive. Dockyards are also built early because they don't seem to count against your consumer goods need and they can be built from the start without penalty. Civilian factories can later on be converted into military factories then better laws can be applied.

A powerful navy will be a huge deal so I will may have a target of atleast 150 dockyards.

To keep my nation productive I will try to work with as low conscription law as possible as the penalties to production you get from these are huge.

USA do have a large population so I may have pretty good amount of manpower even with productivity focus. My divisions will be expensive to field but I think they will be unmatched in terms of firepower. All my serious divisions will have some sort of artillery, anti tank and anti air guns.

I will naturally build up a very large air force.

I will use superior fire power doctrine for my army. For my navy I will use base strike and for my air force I will use strategic destruction.

Here is what a large division could look like:

Frontline:
  • 10 Infantry battalions
  • 10 artillery battalions
  • 3 anti tank battalions
  • 2 anti air battalions
Support:
  • Medic
  • Recon
  • Engineer
  • Logistic
  • Signal or maintenance

Strategy for Great Britain:

Well since France plans to be axis I will abandon Europe theater completely. I will focus on my wooden wall and airforce and create expeditionary force for north Africa and will contest axis there. Main goal is to neutralize Italian navy and hold ideally both Suez and Gibraltar open for allied fleets.

Units will be mobile because it may happen that I will be against overwhelming odds so I have to be able to react quickly.

France is still open and won't be axis, the fuhrer won't accept it.
