Another victim of delusions concerning airborne operations 
Ok....they capture a port....and get thrown into the sea since King can't resupply them or send reinforcements.

Re: 27th July 1943
King, you're not worried about all those Soviet political prisoners responding to the call of Mother Russia and Father Stalin to throw you out? Perhaps the Allies should call on Japan to turn to their side. After all, once Germany rules the world except for East Asia, who do they think will be next?

Not having the game I am guessing here, but if King captures a port can he not supply his forces? With U-Boats, his surface fleet, and Naval aviation he should be able to keep the channel clear for a little while anyways
I am guessing he probably could but not all that long and once his men are ashore he still has to keep them supply every day that they are their, and from reading the AAR it seems that he has neglected to spend much on the navy this time around certainly not much on u boats or a surface just yet, and a major surface fleet isnt exactly something one can create on the fly.
Any german invasion of the UK that cant keep the channel open for an extended amount of time risks those divisions being cut off and then butchered.
He has to be able to supply it for as long as it takes him to force british to abandon the island....
well maybe if he took norway , then used some of his fleet to draw British ships into the channel he could land troops in northen england without much fear of being attacked by the royal navy
Good work, King! *Claps*
Are you able to to raise troops in your new Russian lands? Any added manpower from them? Any resistance fighters giving you trouble? Can you disband a few divions to free up manpower for naval bombers?

Sure they could land there. And then get cut off when RN realizes it was fooled and switches its' forces back into the North Sea. They could just split it in fact. Kriegsmarine wouldn't have the guts or the ships to oppose even the half of what UK could've sortied against them.
Great work so far King!! Keep it up! Only a few more weeks and we can start our own AARs...though I doubt they will be as good as yours!
This is by far the best AAR so far:
1. Consistent, daily updates.
2. Focusing on the big picture.
3. Very active author.
4. etc

There will be update today, sorry guys I got some stuff to do.
However in answer to the burning tech question where am I?
In land forces I would say I was historically ahead of where the Germans where at the end of '43.
In airforces I am bit behind. I have the second generation of bombers but not fighters. I would say that Jet's are at-least a year away though.
In the Navy I slightly behind in surface ships and miles behind in submarines. (at started throwing some money into surface ship technology)
On the Rocket front I am not far away from some very nice things.
On the Nuclear front I would guess at least 2-3 years away from the bomb (probably more).
I hope this helps.
To invade the UK I feel I would need several things. Air superiority (I don't want my transports bombed and really want to give the defenders a damn good bombing just before my men come ashore) However that would stick me a BoB scenario where the advantage lies with the defender. I large investment in Naval transport capacity (to make the first wave powerful enough to get a shore and then ferry in enough reinforcements and supplies to push inland), and also a surface fleet to screen the transports. I could not rely solely on Naval Aviation to defend the invasion force. It would be too god dam risky.
An easier option is to drive though Persia to India and ease the pressure on the Japanese, and still hurt the UK.

Yes, you must do that. Isn't Persia (or Iran) friendly with you?
Take India! Maybe you will want to take Madagascar first, to cut off their supplies, Then take all of India. Make Britain suffer huge defeats and after you squish the Soviet Union, take that island! Meiji-Tenno
Wow.
So has your industry been helped by the conquest of Russia, giving you access to the vast resources there?
Maybe you could start bribing the Spaniards with some of it, and seal the mediterranean. With the Suez in your control the Brits are out of India. You can sweep into Persia by 45, and it's all over.

Err..King, just tell me that you can not answer me due to the NDA but don´t ignore me pls.
But wouldnt you also need to have some reserves available for a possible normandy?
Just think of the horror.. USA landing with 200 mechanised fully upgaded divisions

King,
I just read this from start to finish. Contrary to what the nay-sayers have said, the apparent oiprovement in the AI from interation to iteration does bode well for this game.
You have done a great job of allowing us to see a part of the process of a beta-tester.
Clap-Clap.
