BTW, you left Mogadishu undefended.

Assab is also undefended, this is a starting point for an attack into Djibuti.

Between the TC and all the coast you have to defend, this is gonna be tough...

And that's exactly the point why I won't defend the coast at all.

To be able to stand against any real attempt of attack by landing from sea I would have to place at least 3xINF at each beach. So I will try to cut the possibility for an attack from mediterean area by taking Suez, and rest would be laid upon prayer, curses and fingers crossed.

Then I would try to take any ports in Africa that could launch an attack, and hope for India to not invest too much into navy transports.

"Your Imperial Majesty, the Nazis want us to join their alliance and give them help and guidance on waging war against British Empire"

"We decide that this is not the right time to do this. On the good side, in German government We can see the faces we not actionally expected.

I have a question about AI advantages or dirty tricks.

1. Militia div from the horn of Africa (landlocked) - suddenly dissapears. For the player, the only possibility is either disband or embark. If neither is the true, and the mentioned division suddenly appears later in the Sudan, what should I think about it?

2. Some INF and Militia divisions suddenly appears on the way of my troops. if my troops were to be strategically moved, it would take a lot more time, and here it took them only two weeks. And the question is, where were these divisions if they were not in Africa at the moment of War start? (I reloaded and checked that)

Do you still grant military access to the Allies by chance/mistake?

Negative. I checked that before.

As this made me wonder, I re-loaded one of the old saves as GB. So, this looks like they have moved the troops from the Iraq/Middle East area. For me as the player (GB) minimum time to strategically redeploy was more than 1 month. I checked if that would be possible to transport the troops to the Africa and than re-deploy them, but this seems unlikely, as they had no transports in mediterean, and in Africa only 1 in Congo. (not to mention they would have to move the troops from Iraq to the port first).

Any Ideas?

"Your Imperial Highness, our trade relations are proving to be blooming. We have get another deals, pumping a lot of money from the US and GB."

"This are the most interesting news, indeed. This would surely lower the military strenght of both countries. Anybody can produce supplies, but the money is what makes the world go around."

"Now, We would be able to buy some elite forces, motorized units of infantry. We don't want to waste it waiting idle, so we shall still keep the money."

It's great to see minor countries defy the odds,and change their fate:cool: .Also why did you go mobility doctrine?Light infantry would have been better due to the terrain,and another question,which mod are you using?

I thought I mentioned that at the very beggining, but now I see I must have missed that somehow.
It's New World Order 2, version from 02.2014, DC 1.3, I choose not to update NWO2, to not corrupt save files (just in case).
(and it's very easy, if You haven't guessed so far)

If I chose some other doctrine I would have some possible troubles with war with Italians, due to poor defense efficacy statistics in other doctrines (100% as compared to 50-77% in other). It was important as most of my troops were outdated militias and would crumble in case of frontal attack or naval landing. With my defined tech teams and their high level, it doesn't really matter if I have the pre-requisites or not.

I played the similar game before, for fun, and I was davastated by Italian troops landing, even though I had some of first battles won, they finally got me.

Also, at this time it seems like I could get some foc doctrines from my future alliance.

You got that from Indiana Jones,right?The Holy Grail I mean.

Yeah, I just watched the old trilogy with kids and realized that they have used the Hatay "Republic" as the place where they searched for the Grail.

And the tank is just awsome :eek:
