Grey Leopard and Blue Whale.

So basic information of this AAR:

I'm playing Iron Cross 1.02 Beta + AoD mp game as Germany my bro as USA.

This AAR will contain mainly pictures not essays.


This is recent progress in North

I'm preparing quick blitz of before Barbra India to force him to play on my rules and keep his attention from UK since I'm planning to invade it in June 3 AB divisions will be ready at 12 June + another transport plane, and 99% of the Japanesse fleet is stationing in west of Brest near Spain

USA went early to war since I invited Japan to alliance to avoid total failure, I'm controlling 7 axis countries except Japan so we are playing on Slow time since it requires lot of micro.

This is Far East

So time is essential for my progress since my spies reports that he hasn't build new divisions so far, but with his 600 IC and growing I need to blitz everything quickly, my main traget is UK, India blitz is supposed to confuse him.

PS:

I have separate peace with nat China but they are in allied camp. I encircled around 15 divs thanks to heroic Japan experienced mountaineers and Manchuko forcess.

So this is recent progress on Far East:

Fall of Brits in Burma is matter of time altrough Jungle/Mountains will make it slow progress.

Small China countries were eliminated Guangxi Clique and Yunan (Nat China seems to have some event if you take to much of their cores they take their territory)

Commie China is about to fall I encircled about 30 divisions in 2 pockets with about 15 divisions, now it's matter of weeks for them to fall.

It was time to conquer Balkans I wanted to do it fast by just invading their cores so my bro won't manually control them and waste my time by giving them Valhalla

I'm preparing for Sea Lion almost whole Japaneese fleet is stationing on western France coast. Now I have built 2 trans planes and 3 AB divisions scouted all areas possible for landing and I still can't decide. I think of droping one div in London to draw AI forces on it and then drop on a badly defended province.

Sweden is still fighting thanks to Valhalla... which is imo very anoying ( it should be only on elite units not on every div, but oh well game is not to easy atleast)

If it will take to long to conquer Sweden I probably will skip idea of conquering Finland and creating 100 IC Nordic Union, since they will have not enough time to build enough forces for Barba but I'm not sure.

Mussolini and his Empire...

So atm Axis seems to be winning on all fronts, but USA is massively building new troops.

If I succed with Sea Lion Barba will be much easier, caus I won't have to keep larde forces on Western Front, keep in mind that in IC Soviet Union defeats German AI usualy in one year it has really strong buffs after 1 or 2 months after Barbarossa starts so they are able to build about 500 divisions in couple of days.

PS: As a extra info about IC, probably due to early DoW on USA they won't reach almost 1000 IC usualy if everything goes historical they have around 1000 IC when they join the war, now they only have over 600

So looking IC wise allies with Soviet union (Soviets have now around 720 IC) are stronger economicaly then axis I have around 500, Japan around 200, Italy around 180
