Apologies for the last update as it looks like I am rushing things, but truth be told, I was so sucked into fighting the Germans I totally forgot to make screenshots. I've not posted all screenshots I made, because some I just took to remind me of what happened and I rather write down what happened than to show all shots made. I think I made about 400 screenshots in total, give or take. So, the plan was to write 2 chapters about Germany, but I forgot a couple of things that happened :sad: (played this bit last week).

I can go on playing and attack the SU, but I fear it will be more of the same :p.

Europe is free once more and you prevented the Soviets from expanding their sphere too much as well, good job!
The invasion did indeed go down quite fast all of a sudden, but I know the feeling :) Once things get moving this way, you just keep rolling. If you feel you need to expand on the last part of the war a bit, a (short) epilogue might be fun to write.

Regardless, congratz on a job well done!

Wow, I was wondering how I fell behind so much only to learn you updated so quickly in one day. I knew that the AI wouldn't put up much fight and we are close to the end. So, what are your plans for your next AAR? Since you're not getting challenged at all so far, try a smaller nation like Norway or Finland.

Thanks sebas and good to hear I am not the only one that can be so focussed and caught up with playing. And I might use your suggestion and write an epilogue soon.

Wow, I was wondering how I fell behind so much only to learn you updated so quickly in one day. I knew that the AI wouldn't put up much fight and we are close to the end. So, what are your

plans for your next AAR? Since you're not getting challenged at all so far, try a smaller nation like Norway or Finland.

Don’t worry, it wasn’t you ;). You are right, I need a bigger challenge and I’ve going back a few pages to see if there has been an AAR of Norway or Finland or any other small nation in Europe (would like to start there for now). As far as I can see there has been a Norwegian AAR and an attempt Finnish AAR, though there hasn’t been a Greek, Danish or Swiss AAR (when merely looking at European small countries). So either one of these:

- Finland
- Greece
- Denmark
- Switzerland

Let me check if I can set up a vote (checking with admins first of course).

Thanks and I agree, if the Japanese increased their efforts a little bit more, than I would have struggled. Especially at sea they could have done much better imo. Hopefully it was easy to read, but given the fact you could do it in one sitting, I am sure it is ;).

The game looked pretty silly, especially doing that well against the Germans with infantry, but good job either way.

Well, looking at the last screenshot(s) you can see it is far from Germans but more a mixture of Axis forces. Most Germans were partying at the eastern front. Next to that, don't forget the massive amount of manpower which I exploited in the game to the fullest. For every Chinese soldier that died, I had about 4-5 waiting to take his place. I think I ended with 1.5k manpower and still I was producing infantry like bunnies. So, it was quantity over quality..... and this time quality won ;).
