Thank you! You should also go and give AARing a try! :)

P.S. Update will come out tomorrow/day after tomorrow; I want that cliffhanger effect to reach maximum! :D

Yeah, I was thinking about it, but finally abandoned this idea. I haven't time for it, also my AARs would fail, I usually fail in my games ;P But I like giving feedback in AARs that are not mine, so expect it ;D

Chapter IV: The Fascistic Empire of...

Look! The Austrians with Italian support have taken the initiative and are pushing towards Munich!

clipboardin.jpg


The front is more or less stable, only with some breakthroughs here and there...

clipboard00.jpg


If I would be Austrians and Italians, I would push towards the Danube River, but I guess it´s too distant for them...

clipboard00a.jpg


It looks like Germans have finally produced some units and they´re advancing deeper to the Austrian territory... After roughly eight months, it looks like the Germany might be turning the tide?

clipboard00b.jpg


I´ve brought up here a screenshot, which shows how my Leadership Points are distributed and on which techs do I focus on.

clipboard00c.jpg


The situation looks grim for the Austrian-Italian alliance. There might be a danger of their troops be cut out near Wien...

clipboard00d.jpg


After some considerations, Emperor Hirohito found out that the best plan to Japan is to invade the Soviet Union instead of divided China... We´ll see how it goes later on! :)

clipboard01avm.jpg


The Japanese are advancing; looks like the Russian defense is feeble in this area...

clipboard02jf.jpg


While Italy is keeping around 30 (?) divisions in Ethiopia to guard this wasteland (at least in HoI3 terms), they´re getting their asses kicked back in their homeland...

clipboard03wn.jpg


I guess there is no doubt now that Germans will win this war; I wonder what would happen if Italy would retreat its divisions from Ethiopia and sent them back to defend Rome? I guess their current force against the Germans would almost doubled, yet they´re too paranoid to leave the Ethiopia unguarded against the British...

clipboard04rl.jpg


More screenshots of my Technology progress:

clipboard05br.jpg


clipboard06p.jpg


clipboard07yw.jpg


I´m saying this to any Italians readers of this AAR: No, there won´t be any interfering from my side to save your country, go and complain against Mussolini´s leadership of the army. Germany has just steamrolled Italy, period.

clipboard08kf.jpg


Wow! Japanese are cutting through the Soviet Union and big-time...

clipboard12dw.jpg


With the Italian defeat, I shall end this chapter... See you next time!

Crazy stuff! :wacko: :rofl:
Edit: Hum, a stronger Germany should be much more entertaining later on? :)

Japan does that sometimes... You´ll see how it goes! :)

Well, stonger in some terms. Axis navy will be non-existent, 500 MP from Anschluss are also gone... The good things for them might be that they´ve all of that under one AI and that they have some more IC...

Yeah, but it's now late '39. There was no Anschluss, there was no Czechs annexion, Germany is lacking power and it's arleady late(Germany now should have bonuses from events, should have Poland, Non-agression pact with Soviets, and prepare for the invasion of Denmark and Norway, here they have only those things that they grabbed from Austra and Italy and no bonuses)

In my experience, German AI never really seems to be bothered by low MP. Most of my games end with them having 2000MP and a lot of provincial AA...

Lol, I guess you aren´t playing HoI as we know it! I wonder; why does Germany lose 90% of their struggles against the Soviet Union? MP is the answer! :p

Czech annexation will come right up, it just got delayed :) Anyway, I would take advantage of this as CZE and kicked the Germans out of there! :D

With only a couple of provinces between the border and Berlin, it might be doable too.

The last time i played a allied campaign i gave Germany 500 Manpower so that they could make it through the USSR before i attacked, mostly because i wanted a challenge :D (this was vanilla HoI3)

I generally don't edit savegames, but really wanted Germany to win for once :)

But yeah it looks like that germany might run into a problem farther along, so looking forward to what will happen in the future!

LOL! This thread actually reminds me of that I´ve ever played Libya! :D

Sorry about that I wasn´t posting any updates at the weekend; I´ve been busy playing WoT, then raging, then playing Czechoslovakia, then raging that 25% reserve army is too little for the initial defense, then raging that the Politics are weird etc. I´ll be working on them also; it´s a must if I´m to play Czechoslovakia in the future.

I´ll be working on another update when I´ll get into that AARing mood again; as I have said earlier, I won´t be working on two AARs at once :)

Ikar is done with writing something sensible today, I´m too tired for this :p

Ikarases, everyone is waiting for update, and what we see? "LOL I forget about my AAR, Did I played Libya? Oh yes, right!" come on... Now you must give us update that will blow our minds! :D

This one made me laugh too! :D That was a clear overstatement :)

Not today; I´ve had (I´m having!) a weird day... Electricity down, then sleeping, electricity back up, wanting to sleep even more... At least I´ve got that B grade from the Chemistry test written on Thursday (B,B,F,B,B) :)

Chapter V: The Swift Allied Advance and The Heavy German Counter-Attack

Right after the conquest of Italy, Germany has annexed the Sudetenland without any problems...

clipboard13bn.jpg


It hasn´t caused Hitler any troubles to outright annex the whole Czechoslovakia. (I´m going to prove that it will take him a lot more effort to take over Czechoslovakia under MY rule in my upcoming AAR! :p)

clipboard14i.jpg


Oddly enough, Germany declared war on Allies. It hadn´t even took over Poland yet.

clipboard15x.jpg


France caught Germany off guard, so they rushed to Berlin... Let´s see how it goes!

clipboard16v.jpg


It looks like the new German colony is overrun... Navy did its job though.

clipboard17nj.jpg


Oh my goodness, French just blew it again! They´ll be overrun from the south!

clipboard18o.jpg


Reverting back to original borders?

clipboard19m.jpg


I guess France has to lose every single game, don´t they?

clipboard20t.jpg


Ha, politics! My ruling party is doing well... That´s good, good for me :p

clipboard21uq.jpg


Look at the poor Switzerland... They redrew it by “r” and “m”!

clipboard22.jpg


Japan is mean, they´re kicking Soviet asses pretty hard... I wonder how they´ll deal with Far Eastern infrastructure though.

clipboard23.jpg


...

clipboard24o.jpg


What does this mean? Is Brazil going on a rampage? Maybe yes, maybe not, but it´s trully interesting...

clipboard26.jpg


At last I´ve finished this chapter :) Stay tuned!

C´mon guys, post here some comments! :)

On the sidenote, I might stay at home until 3rd January, because it looks like I have that Rubella disease (?), so I might churn out more updates (like one a day)...
