I started as Britain and i got bored after a week and decided to build up and hit germany....

I started by stuffing research and just building as much infantry as i could. months went by and i have around 48 infantry and 5 tanks france didnt have a lot but they didnt need much in the maginot line so i only put a few troops in maginot line (I know germany cant take head on hehe).

Now i knew i couldnt declare war on germany so i couped myself became fully communist (It was necessary...) and declared war. Hitler then decided to take his ships out too bad for him i had already blockaded the ports a short naval battle and Hitler's navy was in shambles :rolleyes: While Hitler was distracted with france i invaded Hamburg with all my 48 divisoins (24 on build).

Before Hitler could respond i have taken over 3 provinces and had a good beachhead Hitler ordered his forces to surround mine in an attempt to stop any advance. Well that worked i couldnt even advance one province it was basicly a stalemate.

By now my other 24 divisions were made i shipped them into hamburg and proceeded to make 24 more. By now much allied support had entered france along with 12 belgium divisions so i moved 24 french divisions to hamburg and made a new assault and took over 2 provinces before Hitler ordered his 1337 divisoins up there which stopped any attempt to advance. Seeing how i couldn't advance hitler decided to order a full attack after a LONG battle Hitler was kicked back.

I then proceeded to push forward (Considering how the german army was weaker) i managed to take many provinces before getting stuck yet again. By this time i had got within striking distance of Berlin. :cool: Another 24 divisions were done they were quickly shipped into Hamburg and another 24 ordered. Just as they reached hamburg 5 more tanks were ready i sent them to front line. Once the org was up on the tanks i attacked with a LOT of units on Berlin germany couldn't send in huge amounts of reinforcements considering how i had reached the czech border cutting off the bulk of hitlsers army.

By now Hitler was actually quite desperate i hear he even asked to deploy non-existent armies to liberate Berlin... It was too late Berlin was captured i then took the remaining provinces from the East including hitter's polish provinces. Now everything was ordered west to get the rest of the german army. I assume hitler will be hiding in the new capital so it looks like a new juicy target.

Just when i thought things couldn't get any better Italy declared war on me : / the worst thing was there was only 2 divisions in africa since everything had been moved to germany for the assault. Italy then proceeded to invade france since all the french were up defending against german. I ordered 12 canadian divisions to stop italy (Big mistake) they just got wiped out in seconds... I made a desperate attack on Stuttgart taking it and and send 12 divisions to deal with italy.

24 new divisions were ready now they were sent to france to assist with italy. It wasnt long before france was invading and crushing italy. Everything seemed fine again i was just about to order an attack on the new german capital (Hitler was making militia as fast as he could so he quite a chunky army) but just then japan decided to join the Axis. :eek: I had nothing in asia to stop japan the first thing they did was take singapore and my rubber which wasn't very nice but it didn't matter that much since i had most of germany i would convert coal.

That's the current situation Hitler is almost defeated but japan still needs teaching a lesson i will see what they think when 80 divisions appear in Tokyo. :rofl:

I got a question though i've taken over most of germany but yet my IC hasn't increased by much i wonder if the UK has a cap on it's IC?, Anybody know?.

Also does anybody know why my manpower doesn't increase any better per month when i took Berlin infact anything for that matter. :eek:

Your game sounds entertaining. But if you want to get down and dirty with Germany straight away, why not play the 39 scenario instead? Cuts out the need to turn communist...

Andrew

Yes it does but it its not the same as making the army yourself i always start in '36. :cool:

You don't get many ICs and not much MP out of occupied territory or even out of annexed territory ... which sounds reasonable to me, especially after being the aggressor :)

Robert Koop said:
You get 20% of the IC's if you occupy a country and 33% if you annex it. The % factors of the various security ministers that improve Foreign IC's are added and not multiplied, so you can get upto 33+25% (Prince of terror) max.
from the vichy-france thread (not sure if I should mention in the other that I quoted Robert )

You did all that without any airpower. Makes me wonder if the AF is worth the investment in the game. I liked your plan and it was nice to see AI throw your plans off with DOWs at opportune times. Although, one would have to wonder if Italy would DOW you when you were so close to victory over Germany. Figure they would not want to join the losing side so late. Steelrain

You better believe airpower is worth it. If Hitler had used dive bombers and tacs, he would have been able to stop the Allied advance much more easily. Infantry reduced to 10 ORG while walking to attack don't stay in the battle lon before retreating.

You're allowed to build new units in 39 too. And there's still over 8 more years in which to do so.

Colonel:

You play the '39 scenario a lot? Seems very few others do. How does the German AI fare against, say... a human USSR? Is it challenging?
