Abadan isn't a desert and there are hardly any mountains at all. That's why it is shown
as plains in the game. But yes, it was raining in the other parts of Iran and Iraq that are deserts.
Soviet Union is bringing peace, freedom and fertility to the Middle East ;D
To Enclave:
You should have considered that i was talking about two different fronts - Iran and Iraq.
And please tell me how i am exploiting the AI. I want to know that and not do it in the future.
So far i have avoided ground attack missions and phoney pockets and this made the game
so much more interesting :]

Klai, youre doing a marvelous job! youre my hoi hero
i even started a soviet game due to your aar's inspiration. of course, i only play normal
Update nr.115
In the North the Red Army is pushed back beyond Brussels and is ordered to
hold the line Namur-Antwerp-Rotterdam line. French try to brake through Namur several times,
but fail so their counter-offensive turns into a stalemate.
While my army in Belgium is recouping its losses i start searching for another possible
breakthrough point. French-Italian border is a no-go zone for everyone, so that leaves
only one option - Dijon.
The first attack was overwhelming and the French didn't know what hit them.
But my hopes for a quick and decisive breakthrough withered away the second
the French counterattacked me.
The Red Army had no reinforcements available, thus little chances of wining.
But i won't abandon my plans now! An attack on now weakened Troyes
is ordered shortly after the loss of Dijon. I will make them bleed!
The French are spread all over the place, fighting three or four battles for every province
and i can see that their divisions are getting weaker and weaker after my every attack, succesfull
or not. After a while they will have to recognize the Soviet superiority. Unless USA intervenes...
So far i am lucky - not a single US division in France.
The battle in Troyes turns into another bloody massacre when French reinforcements arrive.
But i can't sit and watch my forces being humiliated again, now can i? I attack Dijon and try to
delay or even defeat their reinforcements before they reach Troyes.
But what sounds good in theory doesn't always work in reality. Both attacks are delayed
drastically with every single new French division entering the battle. My attack in Dijon fails
when 5 fresh enemy divisions arrive from the South. Two days later i abort the attack in Troyes
for the same reason - fresh French reinforcements from the North.
French win the day again, but with enormous losses in manpower.
Red Army also suffered huge casualties, in some places even greater
than French, but i have a manpower reserve, unlike the frogs.
How long will this stalemate last? Will US send aid to France and China?
Keep reading and find out.

Considering his current naval strength compared to theirs' they already are, unless he starts mass-producing carriers.
Wow the French are giving it all they've got. A true effort that Napoleon would be somewhat proud of, mainly because their manpower can only support so much. Despite some setbacks in the Middle East and digging in for the possible long haul in Japan, at least in China your making headway. Keep up the great work!
How many years until game end? It would be a sorry turn of events if you didn't destroy the USA because you don't have time rather than because you can't.
One thing that works in the European theatre is Logistical Strike. Careful use slows down reinfocements and lowers ESE. This can work a charm in areas where Infrastructure is 80 - 100% not so useful in other areas though.

Update nr.116
April begins with an ambitious operation to safely extract the divisions from Marcus Island.
After the victory against the Japanese, three divisions were stationed here to protect the future Soviet
stronghold in the Pacific. But now this idea is abandoned and those troops are needed elsewhere.
Shortly after departure the Red Navy encounter an old USN fleet.
I do them a favour and recycle their ships.
On their way to Marcus Island my battleships encounter few more small fleets, but fail to sink any ships.
When my ships reach their destination it is clear that enemy has the island surrounded.
Red Navy battleships punch a hole in the blockade, but the Allies manage to avoid casualties.
I send one battleship fleet after the retreaters and sink every single one of them.
The divisions successfully board the transport ships and the journey
to China begins. Few more insignificant fleets are encountered, one enemy light cruiser sunk
and no USN carriers in sight - so far so good.
But the carriers show up as soon as my fleets separate from eash other.
Battleships are ordered to hide and transports are ordered to retreat.
Only one transport flotilla is sunk, meanwhile the others escape to Shanghai.
My naval bombers were scouting the Italian shorelines for weeks now,
but didn't encounter any enemy fleets. Seeing that this is a waste of time
i change the mission from naval strike to convoy bombing.
This won't win the war, but at least my naval bombers are finally doing something useful.
And by useful i mean sinking an average of 8 convoys per day.
A British carrier fleet is spotted in the Gulf of Taranto. This is the same fleet that attacked Dublin
in the beginning of the war. This time they come after the unprotected Soviet transport ships, but little do they know
that Taranto is the main Soviet air base in the region.
While Allied planes attack the docked transport ships, hundreds of Soviet naval bombers
flank the enemy and strike their defenseless carriers. HMS Hermes is the first to sink and other two carriers
retreat after losing 80-90% of their strength. This victory is a clear warning for the Allies - don't mess
with the Soviets, unless you have 10 or more carriers!
Here is the overview of sunk and lost ships in the past two weeks. 12:1 Soviets win this round. Booyakasha!
And some more god news for the road.
Red Army is halfway across China and i still can't see any real resistance. And while enemy carriers
were busy hunting my main fleet, one of my two Pacific transport fleets have landed 5 divisions in Hong Kong.
This was a very risky and unnecessary operation and i won't be trying anything similar in the future.

Seems the British grabbed for more than their hands could hold when they took China.
Will you create Communist China when you are done throwing the English out?

Good luck in China - looks like it's going to be yours in a short while after all.
