I suck. Have trouble defending against France, they attack my defensive line a few days in, and I loose almost instantly. It's the province north of Baden. Spare troops have no chance to reach it in time. And then I'm in deep trouble keeping land, it's a ping pong thing. Poland is taken some time into October.
Yeah, I suck.
Yeah, I suck.
Sure thing, won't be much to see though since USA is 100% infra and all Ports were still lvl 10 when taken over. Didn't build any additional convoys, only what you start with.
Edit: Apparently most of the parts of USA that I got is 80% Infra, sorry for that slip. Its still enough to not be off any troubles.

How many brigades did you land? All of them? I reckon there would be more supply problems if Atlantic ocean would be land and you say "didnt build additional convoys". Strange.
Shouldn't militias be sprouting up here and there? The industrial giant hasn't made any undertrained divisions? At least there should be rebellions everywhere..
Surprised you actually managed to get past the Royal Navy, they generally mow down my surface ships soon as I leave port. Really wonder how you managed to slip by.
Thanks for the screenshot though, did answer a few questions I had in my head.

Nah I landed roughly the entire OKW. 69 units but god knows how many brigades that is. Anyone knows a good way to check this without counting manually?
If he didn't cheat or mod anything, it should just make us sad...
That's the terrible moment when you look to your monitor and think "oh, that's just a game."
There is always a way to trick it...

Look at the resource bars in the screenie--pretty sure it wasn't an all natural invasion.
Rebels seems to be not regionalized.
I can't find the file which contains different partisan risk in each region
Yeah, some things why this should be absolutely impossible;
- Germany should not be able to even move past the UK if not conquered yet, hence, whole fleets with transports even supported by the entire KM should get into huge fights with both USA and UK, thing is, you don't have to DOW the USA until you are in place to land on the eastern seaboard, so US navy pretty much stays out of it, but RN should aggresively follow the KM and sink them, Germany never had a real chance at sea. Seeing an invasion fleet should have USA DOW Germany unless transports are pulled back, an event checking German transports closing in, something like that.
- Germany would never be able to create enough transports that can ship such amounts of troops over the Atlantic, I think that is still a problem in 2009, look at D-day, it's just too easy with those transports, it should be more tech related what you can transport and how much. Same for supplies reaching that far.
- On invasion, a huge but maybe less well equipped US army would be raised in weeks to stop the advance, this should also be event driven, at least militias and many many reserve units coming up.
- Supply ships would not survive the way back or over there, hence, a complete runout of ammunition and fuel.
- USSR would invade within weeks with full force
All these variables kept the USA save, and the UK for that matter, it just worked by chance and luck in Norway, I read that Hitler wanted to withdraw from Narvik after the UK landings, but it was Brauchitz that cooled the nerves. Look at what Germany lost in ships only doing that invasion.
Conclusion, RN and USN should probably be far more aggressive patrolling so nothing can slip through, historical belt around europe. That would hinder it.
I'm not too worried about it in game play now, as you have to take in mind the USSR...

None of those there are really "OMG NO WAY HE CHEATED" type numbers. The big ones are energy and supplies, both of which Germany can produce a ton of in a short amount of time if you cut back on the production which he said he did.
The thing I'm trying to figure out is how the Royal Navy actually let him get into the Atlantic because as I said they come in hard and obliterate my surface ships when I keep them off the coast of Germany, can't imagine what they'd do if you got close to the channel or near the British Isle.
First try. Might have been lucky to avoid their fleets though. Although I did play a few games yesterday and Invaded UK then to warm up.
Built 30 TPs and deployed them in the French deep ocean ports.
The important thing was to adopt minimal training law to get the Transports done in 75% of the time.
No modding. My National Unity was 87.1% / 90% due to problem with protecting convoys across the Atlantic
YOu deployed them into France directy, O man, that's a serious issue again, ships should ONLY be able to be deployed in owned provinces, France would be occupied right? I deployed them in Kiel and then moved to France, same thing but someting can happen to them on the way.
Also, it is the '39 scenario...
I'm sure that in the '36 scenario the US will probably build up an army in one form or another, unless scripted not to yet...
yeah, that doesn't help the issue at hand at all...
edit: don't know why you think it's cheating... It's probably an exploit of one form or another, unintentional, but no cheats.. no modding
I believe that the UK just needs to adress the Atlantic with more ship patrols..

Correct.
How to do it:
#1. Day one, get the +10% combat movement minister and start production of 20-30 TPs. Max all Laws except training which is put to minimal so your TPs are done November 17:th. Cancel everything in the production queue and reduce supply production if needed to have the TP production running on full speed.
#2. Use manual control of OKW forces and give attack orders to only take the VPs in Poland. Theatre AI in the west is set on defensive. After roughly 2 weeks Poland should be history.
#3. After this a few 2-3 Divs are enough for Denmark, The rest of OKW should all be strat redeployed to French/Belgium/Netherlands Border.
#4. Attack historically with most of your ARM and MOT through Belgium aiming for Paris. I used manual control here too. The goal is to get France to surrender around November 1:st to let you redeploy all OKW troops to the safe atlantic ports.
#5 If you can't give your ships move orders beyond 3000km redeploy the loaded TPs and your warships to Greenland. After that just attack the US and/or Canadian coast and ports at your leisure working yourself south.
As you can see I never went close to the channel or the British isle. Except for perhaps the Lorient port but from there you can go south.
