You're doing pretty well against Soviets. Hopefully my idea of temporarily ceasing hostilities could grant you time to take the Low Countries. And do try getting some allies in, the Soviets might crumble if more forces press them.
Great AAR, congratulations on the two small bags made , do you think about move the tanks to the east?
I like the sound, maybe some low background music for the times of silence would be good?
I would have build infantry divisions first. you need the reinforcements ASAP.
Hold the line in Ukraine, at least until more troops can be spared to assist further breakthroughs.
watch that dissent. last thing you need right now are perfectly avoidable combat penalties.
I have tried to play the game without a pause. I have panicked straight away. It was very difficult to keep air force efficient and do invasion in orderly manner. I had to give command of some troops to AI. You are managing very well so far
Great AAR
Unfortunately, things are looking real bad at the moment for you. You have a rather very strong Kriegsmarine, but you can't win on any front. You have too few divisions to beat the bear, and even less on the western theatre. Maybe you can produce enough to take the low lands in early 1940, but even then I highly doubt you can beat France as quick as you need to. Bad things come to worse, as Japan is losing vs China and Italy doesnt do too good as well. They just got a stalemate in southern france, but lose Africa. Should USA join the Allies and they invade Italy from the south, the end will be near.
So, what are your future plans now?
I would in this situation gather the newly produced troops in the west to attack the Low Countries in early 1940, as the weather (winter + mud period) would make it hard to start any real offensive in the east, and then try to achieve a quick breakthrough in France. If you manage to defeat France quick you could launch a summer offensive in the east before the russians are fully prepared. I think the Soviets should be still behind in tech and doctrines, so chances of winning could be rather good when France is out of the game before May 1940.
Do you plan on getting some strategic reserves in Russia? Your southern front there looks so fragile... a concentrated panzer attack by the russians could be desastrous for the whole theatre.
