To sum it up, I am not worried about what will happen in Africa, my concern should only be about when and how I will extract the AK from Africa and send it back in Europe in time to reorganize and be ready.

Thanks for the analysis. Well, good luck to you, I hope you can manage it while doing your thing in Europe and that it works (also, isn't the stay in Africa causing MP drain due to attrition? - disease/lack of supply) :)

I am just naturally a bit scared of leaving any front to the Italians to handle :D Their capacity to pull defeat out of the jaws of victory is unparalleled in human history ;)

I'm actually enjoying your excursion into Africa, I doubt tho, if it is important to do so anymore, you are barely halfway to RSA, which is last place of worth in Africa, you are just spending TC all over the place, perhaps you should consider just shipping troops to RSA and then try to land grab the rest. Realistically you should already being stalled by having your MP decimated by malaria and locals armed ad hoc + en masse by allies, even at the cost of keeping the colonies after defeating you.

There are already lots of things not realistic, so lets assume that there are only sun and palm trees in Africa :) No bragging, but I could very easily conquer South Africa, but I don't want to do that. I want to leave a threat in the South for the storyline. I also want to give a chance to Italy in this area (the bragging is in this last statement). I am not too concerned with them since I will have military controlled Portuguese and Spanish troops to stiffen them :p Also, I am not as in OTL since I don't want the British Empire to survive; I want it to crumble...and it has started!

TC?
[Bragging on]Germany has plenty! captured provinces in Eastern Africa are under the control of Italian East Africa or Italy. In the West, I would like to give the control of Morocco to Spain, but it appears to be impossible as long as UK exists. And finally, the German army is not big to start with. I had a quick look, and Barbarossa will start with less than 200 divisions on the Axis side (80 Rumanian+Hungarian, and 100-120 German) [/Bragging off]
Yes, there is some attrition because of the climate, but soon I will leave that to Spain and Portugal. They may not have a lot of industries, but they have manpower.
 
200 divisions for Barbarossa? *gulp* :blink:
 
Lucifer, do not fear loosing, aars often lack failures, lack humility, if you are going to loose it wont be bad so do not take it personal, because not many aars have a glorious spartan death. all aars are like: meh, worldconquest hurrrrrrr, uber-ic smash, imma so exceptional and superior.

I never said that it would be easy. :p And actually, it is more or less historical (183 divisions, including the Finish)
I have not counted the Bulgarian as they were not at war with USSR IRL. In this AAR, this will serve as a strategic reserve if really needed.

Those Soviet stacks look so foreboding.

There are like that all the border. But the way I wee them, these stacks are tilting; the entire edifice should collapse as a rotten barn. :)

Hopefully only the top is infantry and the rest is militia :) all unsupported!

... and pigs will fly! (Is that the correct expression?)
AI-controlled USSR doesn't built lots of MIL, so it has to be mostly INFs and MOTs since intelligence reports only 3 (?!?!) ARMs. We will see.

20,000 tons off of Cape Blanc? Good hunting! At the rate of 37 damage per escort though, let's hope it isn't up to Raeder to annihilate the armed portion of the Merchant Marine. Raeder is out, Donitz is back; let's hope Raeder's work smashing up Allied ASW has been enough to help his best of friends :D
Yay! The Ustase enter the fray! Assuredly, we can have the fullest confidence in their ability to keep former Yugoslav nation free of any Partisan movements. Assuredly.

Dissent in former Yuguslavia is non-existent; this is not very realist.
Intelligence indicates 600k tons of escorts. There is no way to take more than a bite from such a mass. I intend to write an interesting update regarding the Battle of the Atlantic, the kind of never seen in this forum. It was supposed to be delivered after the 100 000 views but I didn't have the time for that. Soon, hopefully.

I believe the "Independence Struggle" events penalize IC for puppet states at war.

We had posted almost at the same time, I had not seen your comment.
I this AAR, if Germany goes down, it will not be before putting the fight of its life. I intend to win, but I will use no cheat, no gamey tactics (or what I think they are) and no reload because something bad happened. And, as stated before, I won't win in 1941 to allow USSR to develop its army to its full extent.

About the missing updates
1- Up to page 3, they have been rewritten partly at the later standard.
2- From pages 4 to 11, they have to be rewritten at the later standard and re-uploaded (usually 2 redone for one true new update)
3- After page 12, they have been re-uploaded.

Missing updates after page 11 have been re-uploaded.
 
heh, i came back to rewrite the post, but ill write new one then :)

well, first, thanks for responding :D
at peace, well because the fear that you would roftlstomp russians and become unimaginably full of yourself, gamey + unhumble attitudes brakes the immersion i had for specific aar or outright revolves me from it, so many aars just waltz over - its as much fun as just using a bucket fill on a map in GIMP... some dont have the depth, i don't read the textbook aars cuase im toolazy/tired to do that, but i admit they are better and you are having the same effect as them you simply use a different method, you have time to go back a few thousand km too look over an event or info window and inform of loses or new developement.

so i am at peace because yo uconstantly assure that you wont just roftlstomp everything into worldconquest ;)
and you say you won't reject a collapse if you don't win :)
