Are you sure pulling out of Africa was a good idea? The brits are now even more outnumbered there, and I can't see the holding for long.
A most glorious AAR! I really like this! Keep it coming! I will pray tonight for victory in Russia...where all our hopes lie..

Sometimes i don't understand people,why some of you are hope that USSR will arm itslef from nothing when almost all western USSR is under Hitler's boots. Now Moscow will be swallowed by the Heer, the only important city that remains is Stalingrad (if it not have already fallen). The only hope for Democracy is USA and Brazil, the rest of the world is collapsing.
By the way, i notoce there is no more "special events" for South America.

Crush the Argentines quick, then all those mechanized can go head-hunting in the underbelly of Europe! A Brazillian Italy, I say!
Finally, the great mobilization of the great nation of Brazil is coming.

argentina dont know what's gonna hit them. have they too been building up industry?
Suddently Brazil has became one of the most important members of the Allies. :rofl:

Vann the Red: So it does. Thanks!
The Gonzo: Frankly, I'm more than a tad nervous about India.
lifeless: Yeah, but hopefully the Americans will do some good.
GrimReaper: Yeap, hunt ... and be hunted.
hurricanehunter: Well, no, it may not have been the bext idea. But I have something that will give Britain some real assistance.
stnylan: And, every moment, I am trying to pull one off. Or hoping the Brits or Americans do.
Iron_Skull: Welcome to you and all the other new readers! Russia is indeed of very great importance.
Congo: You're right that it doesn't look good right now. I'm hoping that over-extension and garrisons will slow down the Germans before they satisfy the Bitter Peace conditions. True about the South American events.
GhostWriter: Thanks!
AntiochusIII: I can't promise anything like a Brazilian Italy since Germany is hair-trigger quick to intervene, but I can promise you that we're going to give Mussolini a war to remember!
cuchulain: As best as I can tell, Argentina's only built a few factories. Brazil is definitely pulling ahead in industry now.
Lutzow: Yes indeed. Brazil is indeed third after the USA and Great Britain. As for the HSR mod and Naval Beta: my opinion of both should is pretty obvious, so I think other readers should comment.
Tabris.BR: What a timely post!

1942, October 2nd:
- Great Britain develops a new "O Class" of destroyer especially suited for emergency mass-production under wartime conditions. The new ships have weaker guns and less armour than a Battle-class fleet destroyer, but are just as good at finding and sinking subs. Build lots, Winston!
1942, October 8th:
- The Americans are still not researching the doctrine "Regimental Teams", a critically important advance for our style of land warfare. We Brazilians will have to take the lead.
1942, Autumn:
- Continuing American skittishness in trade causes a massive resource deficit which Itamaraty find itself hard-pressed to make good. We discover that the South Africans are our best negotiating partners, as they have a continual surplus of coal and metal, a deficit of supplies, and (usually) no Axis ships in the area interdicting trade. We have just over a month's reserve; margins are tight.
1942, October:
- The "Moltke fleet" drives our terriers off, but eventually loses both its destroyer and its light cruiser to British carrier-based air. We chase, lose the enemy, wait patiently in the Faroes Gap, and hit paydirt on the 27th. Without escorts, the already-wounded capital ships blunder into us in the darkness; we take ruthless advantage. Our bold destroyers close to point-blank range, finish off Moltkeand Hamburg with torpedoes, and later the undamaged heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen after a day-long chase southwest into the Hatton Bank (aided by fighters used as recon planes).
1942, November:
- Apart from the Moltke fleet, no targets worthy of more than 30 destroyer flotillas have presented themselves, which does disappoint. Germany has the second-largest fleet in the world, including 16 BBs and BCs (now that we've sunk two). We had expected more Germans than we could handle! We'd give much to figure out where they are. Not the Atlantic, because the trade routes there are unusually safe. Not the Indian or Pacific Ocean, or they be in combat. Perhaps the Baltic? Perhaps Murmansk?
- Most of our forces head for the central Atlantic in hopes of finding something there, but we continue to vigorously patrol the North Atlantic approaches with the entire Brazilian Airforce: one naval recon and two multi-role fighter squadrons.
- Itamaraty starts to pay more attention to goings-on in the world at large, in an attempt to make some sense out of some very confusing maneuvers by our Allies. The USA's primary focus is India, and has been since the beginning of the war (it's taken us a while to realize this, but the ships have been in motion since last December). There are something like 35 American divisions, representing the cream of their army, in the subcontinent. As the map below shows, the USA insists upon ferrying them and all reinforcements around South Africa one-by-one in tiny convoys. If we and the British had not wiped out Argentina's fleet, or if the Germans were being more aggressive in the Atlantic, this sort of blissful innocence of anything remotely resembling common prudence would be ruinous. As it is, the Japanese have sunk a number of ships, either in the Pacific or the Indian Oceans (unfortunately we don't know which).
1942, November 22nd:
--- discontinuity. universe being rebooted... ---
- We're going to try and fix the tiny convoys problem by giving AI-controlled transports a range of 4000 KM. Yes, it won't make any difference to their abilities (the AI has unlimited range), but it might encourage the larger transport groupings found in other HOI2 games I've played.
--- end discontinuity ---
1942, November 24th:
- The Brazilian Airforce gets its first several flotillas of close air support planes. Gomes takes personal command of this powerful force and immediately sends everyone to the Mediterranean.
1942, November 26th:
- dos Santos gathers our scouting fighters together from the North Atlantic, forms a multi-purpose air army, rebases Dakar-Alexandria-Tobruk and, just as soon as his units have an organization of more than five, begins strafing de Bono's retreating mountain troops (the very unit individually most responsible for driving our cavalry out of the hills of the Libyan bulge).
1942, November 27th - 30th:
- Gomes joins dos Santos and together they annihilate the mountain troops. We then seek other targets of opportunity (the few Italian divisions not dug in).
- The Brazilian Air Expeditionary Army rapidly develops a solid esprit de corps based on the individual characters of our servicemen, and on a common shared experience of war. We have:
1942, December:
- Trade is at 100% between Brazil and Britain. That's a good thing, of course, but also a bad, because it means there are no Germans to fight in either the north or south Atlantic...
- Another fourteen destroyer flotillas are ready, but our Navy is rather puzzled what to do with all the strength it has. We can't find the Germans. The Italians and (we suspect) the Vichy French are in the Mediterranean, bowling alley of the naval bombers. The Japanese are far away; we need to focus our attention on more urgent problems.
1942, December 20th:
- Gomes is breaking up an Italian attack in the Sahara, while dos Santos is shredding enemy bombers. Our airforce is inflicting more damage every week than our cavalry did in nine months.
- Filho has something to say about this:

1942, December 29th:
- Admiral Marschal's gigantic fleet - 6 battleships, 7 battlecruiser, 2 pocket battleships, and four heavy cruisers - slashes into our task force just south of Iceland. Despite their miserable positioning (due most probably to lack of escorts), 14-inch shells, 12-inch shells, 10-inch shells, and those relative popguns, the 8-inch shells, smash all four of our destroyer flotillas into flaming wreckage, despite the valiant efforts of their heavy cruiser Goeben, who inflicts the only significant damage the Germans sustain today.
- Well, at least we know the Germans are taking an interest. How lovely. Now, if they will only stick around long enough for our CAS to relocate and catch them, there might actually be some payback.
- Or not. They clearly plan to hunt convoys. We intend to hunt them should they poke their ugly noses far enough southward.
1943, January 1st:
- Another year of war has passed; it's time to take stock. The news is almost uniformly bad. There are two absolute disasters that 1942 has wrought and they need to be treated in some detail.
- The first is that Russia is on the verge of a final collapse. German and Axis forces have breached the upper Volga line, demolishing the forts. Although they have not taken Moscow, the starvation and surrender of this pocketed city, 400 KM from the nearest organized Soviet forces, is inevitable eventually (HSR gives supplies to the Moscow pocket, and they last for quite a while, but not forever). Some good news on this front: the Soviets still hold the Caucasus in front of Baku, and also the bastion of Stalingrad. Brave Bear, fight on; we knew not how we needed you.
- There is probably nothing quite as disastrous as the Soviet surrender now possible, but the shutdown of British convoys comes close. The United Kingdom is no longer able to provide reliable supplies to any overseas theatre of war, which means trouble in India, trouble in Africa and the Levant, and a hideous loss of life in every isolated island and colony. The British still possess significant IC and manpower, but the very lifeline of their empire is crumbling.
- The third great Axis advance has been in India, where only massive American reinforcement has allowed the Allies to preserve the empire.
- The United States is attriting the Japanese faster than they are returning the favour, but the advantage is only slight. There has been absolutely no change in land holdings in the Pacific for a year now (the invasion of Taiwan seen on the industrial map is at least the third, and is even now suffering the same fate as the first two). India is almost entirely an American-Japanese fight and so far looks like a draw.
- The United Kingdom is half out of the war. No transports, few convoys, much-reduced navy; she can do little more than defend Britain and try to keep Italy in check in North Africa (with Allied air support).
Industry
- The relative industry of the Axis and Allies has not changed appreciably:
Force Comparisons and Changes
- The Axis continue to outmass the Allies on land and in the air, and match or almost so us at sea (more BB/BCs, and submarines, but fewer Carriers and destroyers, and much fewer transports.). Relative forces are mostly unchanged from a year ago.
- Russia has suffered a catastrophe on land, attrition at sea, and some expansion in the air.
Brazil's war
- The Brazilian Navy is not particularly pleased with itself. We have sunk one battleship, one battlecruiser, two heavy cruisers, and approximately ten other ships or flotillas this year, for a cost of approximately ten destroyer and two transport flotillas. Frankly, we can't afford this kind of kill ratio; we need to raise our game.
- The Army has little to report save for a somewhat weak campaign in North Africa which it would prefer not to talk too much about. It fully intends to turn in a rather more interesting report come this time next year.
- The Airforce, however, is in clover. We've wiped out approximately eight Italian divisions and look forward to killing many more.
Brazilian Technology
- Brazil is becoming an increasingly up-to-date combatant, capable of fielding land, air, and sea units either at, or at least not too far behind, the best in the world. The stars indicate areas of recent concentration. In order to achieve excellence in what we had to have, we've sacrificed almost all of the armour and artillery techs, infantry and mountain troops, computing and cryptography, all classes of ships other than destroyers and battleships, all types of planes other than multi-role fighters and CAS, and accepted a "second-adopter" position in air and naval doctrines.
Domestic and Government Changes
- We again choose to Professionalize. For the first time, new Brazilian units will get an experience bonus. We sorely need this; new German and Japanese units start with 20 experience, and new Argentine units have 15.
- After several years with little change, some new Ministers appear to help take Brazil forward. Almeida retires (loaded with honors and appreciation) in favour of Washington Luis Pereira, an Administrative Genius, who will give us that extra bit of IC we need to mobilize more effectively.
- There is, after more than a year of growing frustration, an internal coup in Itamaraty that replaces the lack-luster foreign minister Franco with Paso Fernandes Mora, an Ideological Crusader committed to victory and capable of closing deals far more efficiently. This is especially important to us, as we need to negotiate frequently just to keep our factories running, and must import every penny of the cost from the Americans.
- Henrique Leixeira Lott is also leaving us. He, like Almeida, goes heaped with honors. Replacing him is arguably the single most important person in government now: the re-vamped Gaspar Dutra, this time coming with a +25% bonus to manpower growth. This boosts our daily increase from 0.39 to 0.48, a critically important boost to our ability to sustain a lengthy, large-scale war.
- The one remaining poor performer in the Cabinet is Mesquito de Costa, who reduces consumer goods need slightly and promises (but almost never performs) special intelligence missions. We don't yet have anyone sufficiently better to warrant the dissent hit.
- Brazilian dissent jumps to 5%; this will take a while to bring back down because of our serial production runs. Dissent means that we need to be more cautious in seeking battle; HSR quadruples the effect of dissent on combat, from half to double.

Quite lucky with the BB and BC...quite lucky indeed. Why the IA doesn't focus in Moscow??? Just a little Luftwaffe bombing and artilley fire plus the cream of infantry can take the city in matter of days
Also, if Germany is focusing in BB,BC...why don't you build some SS??? Quite deadly foes.
And finally, but not the less important. When we shall seeand invasion into Argentina?

Great overview. Those numbers are freaky
If the allies could just kick out the Italians from North Africa, it would be easier to breathe. Now with your air force there, it seems very possible

That is the scariest Kriegsmarine I've ever seen. Good luck on the waves as the Brits need every assistance Brazil can provide.

Congo: Moscow is a well-supplied, heavily garrisoned, fortified urban center. It may hold out for some time. Building subs and fielding large wolfpacks is indeed a potent tactic in vanilla HOI2, but subs are not nearly so good at killing warships in HSR, especially if any destroyers are present. As for the invasion of Argentina: I hope very much to have settled accounts with them by the end of 1943.
GrimReaper: So they are. One thing at a time... I'll try and intervene with ground troops in North Africa, but only if Great Britain can actually supply the theatre reliabily.
stnylan: The Allies fight on!
Vann the Red: Yes, I can't remember when I've seen them do so well. However, I'm only really going to worry when either 1) the US fleet goes down, or 2) Great Britain is invaded, or 3) Brazil is invaded.
lifeless: Intervention by the Brazilian airforce has been a small but helpful contribution that won't give us victory in North Africa but has effectively stopped what was turning into a rout.
