sorry for the bad milk,
maybe it was sabotage?
as for you goin on with the game....well you are right it aint THAT fun anymore its just work (kindoff right?) you will win anyway its just a matter of time.
i say, end this - retire, and relax. No-one can have anything bad to say about that- if they have, tell them to do better and then come back and complain.
one more thing.....ever thought of finland in 1941? start the 41 scenario and have another go at the bear it might prove a interestin nut to crack

i tried finland 36
did the winterwar until.......june 44 without break before gettin hammered at normal normal ( im bad i know im a sack of shit....but i didnt cheat)
I allied with germany in 41 (22 June) not before, because they would not declare war on ussr, maybe because i didnt loose winterwar on the set conditions but i lost helsinki june 44 and got annexed in end july ( they cut me in half with 46 divisions at Oulu )

I think that was a reason (to not continue) as opposed to an option for you to pick.
sorry if i flood this page but the game just came back to haunt me..
(fin GC winterwar 39-44) hoi2 DD Normal-normal)
(oh the terror, the horror, the pain)
i think they had like 130 divisions against mine because they hadnt moved that many divisions south to counter the germans - was it because i kept fightin? - well i just wondered - and i still dont like to remember the the slaugter, but it was a hell of a fight anyway - no dull moments there i can tell you.

With the defeat of the US mainland I say that you will have acheived a remarkable victory; and if you wish to take your ball and go home who are we (your loyal, patient and pliable audience) to say otherwise. Really, all mock guilt aside, great job and you are right about the long boring slog that WC can become. You will wear your laurels proudly !
!
I'd still like to see you finish off the USSR, but it is beyond reasonable to quit after annexing the USA. So, its your choice really.

Agree 100%. You have done more than your part, and this AAR is one of the best.
Just finished reading this amazing AAR and I must say I'm quite impressed, sir! I love your writing style and hope to see more from you here (have you written others previous to this one? I can't seem to find any). As for your question, I agree with most of the others-once the US has fallen go ahead and quit. I get bored marching across the USSR once their army is basically destroyed, so I can't imagine slogging through jungles with a sky high TC. Excellent job sir!
I think you should stop and give this AAR a fantastic and proper ending. It was quite a ride and any other conquest would be 'excess'.
I, too, think you can safely stop here. It has been a great source of enjoyment (and inspiration) for me to read you these last weeks. There's no point in continuing to play without any challenge left. In fact, I admire you for having played so long. I can't ever play any video game past the point when I feel the tide has turned in my favor.Mr.G 24 said:
Congratulations and thank you Exterous!
Note: this feeble bad milk story of yours can't help the fact that you are due to entertain us with another AAR damn quick. So, get back to work and play! (isn't that a bit confusing, btw?)
Yeh i guess theres nothing left to conquer that's actually worth to conquer...
Oh no W8 ... those aussies.. they deserve to be screwd for fighting u

there is one thing we know about what happened to hitler... he has escaped to the moon! soon he will return and continue germany's conquest of the world!
Great AAR. Quit when you choose, but you must make a final update before you do about what its like in your new world. Also want to know about "Hitler". Too bad about the milk but... you did choose to drink it, so your own fault.
With the bulk of the German army in the Mid-West focused on destroying MacArthur's army, the Americans managed to slip between the forces in Michigan and the forces in southern Indiana. This trapped von Kluge's army in Grand Rapids. Low on supplies and organization they were immediately set upon by the American forces. Operations had been undertaken to relive their stranded comrades, forcing the Americans in Indianapolis, Cleveland and Flint to retreat, by the American forces out of Detroit drove like a lance through von Kluge's forces. It was too late. Out of supplies and with no ammunition four German divisions, 3 armored and 1 mechanized, with all their modern equipment were forced to surrender
German High Command had had it with the resistance the Americans were offering around Detroit and the mid-west in general. There was talk of an American Stalingrad and they were trying to break out through the Upper Peninsula to the west to import supplies.
In Antwerp a heavily armed convoy arrived at the Antwerpen Ballistischer Flugprodukteinführung Aufstellungsort. Several Weapons Specialists ran to one of the trucks and unloaded its cargo under the watchful eyes of the special guard detachment. Within hours a roar was heard, followed by a great column of fire and smoke rising from the ground as an ICBM was launched.
Several hours later any hope of using Detroit at the focal point of a defiant defense of the United States vanished in a hellish mushroom cloud
The suffering defenders and an armored Corps in St. Louis were then attacked in continuing retribution for their defiance
After the third nuclear strike upon the United States, the resistance was crumbling. Most of their army was destroyed and Washington DC, Chicago and Detroit lay in ruins and the Germans were on the move again. There was one trifling exception.
-Dietrich sloughed through the swampy marshlands of Florida. It was hot. "At least its not humid….oh wait it is." He muttered to himself.
As he took two steps forward he slapped at a mosquito. Many of the men had given up trying and just accepted the bites. Dietrich felt that if the little f*ckers wanted a bite of him they were going to pay for it.
They approached the site of the ambush of a German supply column. Dietrich crouched and spread his men out with a series of hand signals. They slowly crept forward, using the foliage as cover.
They approached the road from the west side. There was a small embankment where Dietrich deployed his men. The attackers had supposedly taken up positions about 5 yards on the other side of the road.
Dietrich waited. Half of his men were taking up positions to the south, forming an L around the suspected ambusher's position.
When his watch ticked the appropriate time, Dietrich motioned his men forward. The sound of boots hitting the ground was muffled by the mud caking them. Other than the sounds of quietly clinking equipment, the boots hitting the ground and the heavy breathing, not much else could be hears as the men advanced on the position. Behind them two machine guns, one to the west and one to the south, stood ready to offer cover fire should it be necessary.
Dietrich bounded up to the suspected area. Sure enough, it was the location of the ambush. There were some prepared positions and several spent ammo casings on the ground. Dietrich looked around - no sign of the enemy troops at all, not that he really expected them.
The Americans had once again eluded them……
That darned loan infantry division in northern Florida continued to exacerbate the Germans.
The Canadians continued to hold out in the north east as well
But they were weakened and it would not be long before they too would be forced to surrender

Generic Repsonse about the Defeat: stynlan figured it out. It wasn't bad considering how many troops I have destroyed by doing that and I'm sure some of the battles on the Russian Front caused more manpower losses overall (hence the wording 'one of the worst') but I HATE losing divisions to encirclements from the AI One of the worst things was that it was over in like 3 hours - I think the army had an organization of 4
General Jac: Congrats on 1000 posts!
Karabiner 98K: Thanks! Glad you like it!
Pershing: Yes, the mighty Ethiopian commanders were close to striking fear into the German soldiers - then we realized we had the atomic weapons
elpeladopocione: (<-thats quite a name) I always like hearing people like reading my stuff. ICBMs are way cool and a much better way to deliver the A-bomb
Swollen Goat: I have written some others with HOI1- they are much much older....I think around 2 years old. Heh - the first one was pretty bad, but its good to see progress. Glad you like it!
Generic response to reponses to my question:
Phew, glad most of you don't want me to continue. My appologies to those who do, but continuing now would be almost painful. Since I won't be able to annex the US for a looooooooong time (due to their almost complete control of the Pacific and all those dern tiny islands) I was dreading continuing the game. The game will end with the conquest of North America - there will be a wrapup for the AAR and then a statistics post. Oh, the reveal of 'Hitler' has been written for sometime so rest assured that that will be in there as well.
Panzer6: Its not like I said "Oh, this milk is curddled I - think I will try some." Since my wife doesn't drink milk and I go through 2.5 gallons a week I drink out of the jug (Exterous = slob) and have NEVER had milk go bad on me. Becuase of that I took a big swig from the jug before even looking at it. :wacko: I guess it got shoved to the back.
Gotta give those Panamanians credit. They felt threatened so they put a hit on the AAR writer. No Exterous = no conquest of Panama. Sneaky b@stards.

Hmmm.. why not just turn the West Coast into a giant Glass Plain and be done with it?
