I honestly think that I would have lost if I had not diverted resources during the winter to take these 60 Raj's divisions out before it would have been too late, as I would have inevitably lost the oil from Caucasus. Now, that's true, I need them back to the East front yesterday. Silver lining, Italy will garrison like 40 divisions in Persia, forcing Stavka to divert forces there as well.
In this time line, the Fuehrer is not crazy. He got rid of Goering (who wanted to try a design for a new parachute but forgot to wear it as per the State news -some addiction involved as well apparently-), etc. Bad news actually stimulate him.
No, Barbarossa will continue, it will just take longer than the 5 weeks originally expected Soviet resources are apparently bottomless, but the Wehrmacht as a whole is in very good shape (between 5 and 10 ICs allocated for repairs only).

What were the last words of Mayakovsky before his suicide in 1930?
– “Comrades. Don’t shoot!”
(This applies to Göring now.
Thank you for agreeing! (you are making a wise move)
No, it is not. It may have to do with the chain reaction triggered by Germany having claimed all of France. As a result, Indochina is not controlled by Japan.

Japan and China are fighting the war Germany and France fought 25 years ago.
It is a stalemate, with the Nationalists and Nanjing-China having both ~45 IC. The front is basically static, even if reports show some gruesome casualties. Japan made some progress in the Philippines, but is apparently being pushed back.
That's quite close to what's happening, yes.
They were trenches during ww1 in Russia, even if not at elaborated than in France.
Seriously, considering how static the front is, I am pretty sure that lost of troops are dug in at the max level.
I had already decided to add screenshots in a future (not written yet) update, here they are, raw of comments.
I wish I could. The only real opportunity I had to do it was when I trapped the Soviets in Karelia (around the time of this update http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum...g-panzer-ii-wif2.688899/page-68#post-20539472 ). It barely succeeded, and that's quite an understatement as I was one update short from giving up). I don't think you really measure the strength of the Red Army.
I don't. If they advance in the province, it looks like as a perfect trap if one looks at the map only, but in the best scenario, the 2 PzDs & 6 INFs South of the lake will have to reach the White Sea (2 provinces away) unopposed during their move by 38 Red divisions on their right flank. Even if this could happen, it would trigger a chain of fightings around the pocket involving 73 Soviet units vs 16 German (29 if reinforcements could arrive in time). Not only it would not work, but this would certainly doom the 8 German divisions.
I choose initially not to advance farther than the Urals, to give the Soviet Union's AI a chance to re-establish a defensive line. That said, I am willing to cede ground in the South, but without trying to keep it reasonably long enough. The way supply works in DH, it doesn't change if the Heer fights deep into enemy territory or close to Germany, what matters is having the TC positive. This aspect being removed from the equation, keeping the land as long as possible gives the Reich strategic depth, which can be traded for time. And I will make sure that the infrastructure in lost provinces will be trashed, to provide even more time. The only thing which could change that would be the threat of a Soviet major breakthough.
I've been just doing just that for, what, 160 updates?
Oof. Looks like its hard than it looks. The map didn't show the 14 divisions close to Arkangel, that's why it looks like could be a chance for encirclement. I forgot that the Soviets had more than 500 divisions on this AAR because they usually had between 200 and 300! The Soviets always make a lot of divisions because for the Soviet IA the divisions only cost 0.1 IC. The North front is always the more fragile: in my playthrough of Barbarrosa I had to retreat to Northern Norway because the Soviets overhelm my northern German and Finnish Divisions. But you still had more IC than the Soviets, to win on the long run. How many divisions are on production? It's pretty frustrating to see the IA pull this kind of stuff, because you only need Moscow to trigger The Bitter Peace at this point. But hey, the Soviets will run out of IC for reinforcement if you keep making them bleed dry Right? With the Soviet IA, no one knows for sureI had already decided to add screenshots in a future (not written yet) update, here they are, raw of comments.

Actually, not all the Soviet AI divisions cost 0.1 IC. Only some at the beginning of a scenario, or if added by event at that cost. When the AI add new ones by itself to the queue, that's at a regular price.Oof. Looks like its hard than it looks.

PD: The Brittish seem pretty weakened. How many they have left in terms of land divissions, IC and naval vessels?
When I will have to restart the game (I keep it as long as possible to avoid unwanted ends of battles), I will do a test by declaring war to China, to see if this will have an impact.By the way, no matter the Mod, no matter the version of Darkest Hour you are playing, the Japanese IA always sucks. No wonder why they never accept any Alliance
