As the occupation system has changed, and a few other things I went back to HOI4
To explore occupation, play as Germany.
It's invade Poland time and my invasion grinds to a halt. What I have no oil ? Interesting !
Re-boot the invasion, import more oil from the Soviets, cut the small oil 'lend-lease' supply to sunny Spain, be ready to cut back on air operations once the Polish air force is destroyed.
Invasion bogs down again. Thd invasion begun in August and it is now November. The Poles have air superiority. Historically the Polush air force had around 800 aircraft. The Polush air force is at least half that size again. Lots of British and French aircraft. Have substantial contingents of the French and British air forces been re-located to Poland ? If so, how, for it's not just aircraft and pilots, it's also ground crew, support vehicles, supplies of spare parts, compatible ammunition, etc.
Casualty rates in the air are low it seems, perhaps 1,500 aircraft on each side and daily losses seem to be around 1 - 3 aircraft ?
Should I be doing something different, should I leave the game for a few more months and come back, should I give up on HOI4 and learn instead to play the Cretan Lyra or seek fluency in Japanese ?
Thoughts, advice ?
