To Save the Fatherland (1944-?)

[unmerged(51077)]

Good update! And thanks for the congrats , it`s sad to hear that you won`t be annexing the US though , but Im hoping for a good finish anyway

I go through 2.5 gallons a week I drink out of the jug (Exterous = slob)

Exterous = future kidney stone victim

Hmm I had a suspicion something like that was the disaster. Bah, I should have posted my thoughts. Anyway, sorry about those divisions, but well done everywhere else.

 

[Geroshabu]

Wouldn't nuking the canadian divisions speed up the advance a bit?

exterous = future ruler of the world

glad to see a breakout in the midwest

 

[stnylan]

I am always rather chuffed when the AI manages to pull something like that off. But it does have the ring of a last hurrah.

revenge for the lost divisions! i guess theres not much left to do but wait..

Now for the long (and hopefully not too...) slow trek to the west coast. Just avoid L.A. - nothing to see there anyway !

825 IC

825 IC

its not that wild a number think about how long he played....but he could use like 400 more IC to get rid off the TC overload

 

[unmerged(60155)]

jeez, 825 ic? thats a lot. for a noob like me anyways

It's not that much. It's just like if you were Germany '36, and conquered the United States. . .
And the Soviet Union. . .
And somehow magically made them your national provinces without cheating. . .

Never mind.

By this point, I'd be using most of those 825 ICs to build more ICs in Germany. Assuming you can devote half of them to new construction, He could build another 82 ICs in about a year. Take off 20-25% for CG and use the rest for more builds, and that's about 94 the next year. Gearing bonus will mean most of those finish faster (assuming you set up serials), and you keep expanding your base each time. You could get your 400 extra IC by the end of the game, easily. It'd be rather pointless by then, but you don't exactly need to build more panzers, do you?

Gearing bonus will mean most of those finish faster

IIRC, you never get ANY gearing bonus for factories.

 

[stabsoffizier]

IIRC, you never get ANY gearing bonus for factories.

You do in Doomsday, in DD changes to your sliders and developing certain techs also add to your production modificators immediately.

 

[unmerged(60155)]

i wish i had doomsday.... but my brother stole it before i could install it

 

[unmerged(56905)]

You do in Doomsday.

I have DD (I even never played any other HoI game), and the manual clearly states factories don't benefit from gearing. I'd like someone else to confirm this... Not that I distrust you!

Although there is a Gearing Bonus displayed in the production screen, there is none. I've tried it and a second factory in a row is built just as quick as a first one.

Once the Germans reached the boarder with Mexico, they just kept moving with barely a pause

The remaining Americans in the Mid-West were forced into Marquette and defeated. The Mid-West was now secure

And the Canadians continued to falter. Despite thier heroic stand there were not enough of them left and they had no hope of reinforcements

Soon they were pushed out of Halifax as well. Some managed to retreat to Cape Breton, but the majority were forced to surrender. Thus ended one of the bloddiest campaigns of the war. The Allies had been overwhelmed by brute force, something that was rare to see in German warfare. Over 100,000 casualties were sustained and this number did not even include the tens of thousands of Allied prisoners captured

Some American forces tried to make a stand near the Rockies but were overwhelmed

As the Canadians were slowly pushed back. While the German attention had been directed towards Halifax, the Canadians had made minimal gains in the north. Now that Halifax had fallen, large numbers of German troops arrived and pushed the Canadians back

Four random American armored forces appeared in Alexandria. These represented the last of the American armored forces stateside and were quickly defeated.

By this point even that annoying single American division in Florida had been subdued. Ever since the demise of the American forces in the Mid-West, forces had been parcelled out for garrison duty. Two additional infantry units were moved to Florida. While expertly commanded 5 Germand divisions was simply too much. Even after the war, men from this unit continued to boast "Hell, while you alls was busy retreatin we had an entire German Army back on its heals."

There was a single 2 division Corps currently in Montana that refused to give up, but for all intents and purposes America was doomed.

Von Uber: Heh, I don't have that many nukes. Besides it'll be mine soon anyway

General Jac: I kinda wanted to as well - but they hold so much territory in the Pacific

Ironhead 5: Thanks for the vote of confidence

Sybot: That defeat still stings a bit. Very bad planning on my part

Geroshabu: Yeah - funny I never really thought of that. I was probably saving them because I'm like that. 'Just in Case' Nukes. I used one because the Americans pissed me off when they destoryed that army

chefportnen = someone I won't have to kill on my road to world conquest

stnylan: Overall this AI has been great for providing writing material. I'll give it credit for that

lifeless: Heh, thats what you think. I think I've got a couple of really good 'Human interest" stories comming up - well, at least I think they are good.

WhisperingDeath: It looks like there won't be that dragging fight for the Rockies after all. Thankfully! As for LA - I don't think it was quite as much of a cesspool as it is now

gilf: And counting!

Simon-1979: That and there are more ICs in general in the '44 scenario. England had like 150 on their Home Islands

chefportnen: Most games don't get that high

soonerborn0524: :rofl:

dublish: Despite the fact that one can never have too many panzers - I was planning on ending the game soon so I just kinda left the ICs as they were - but If i was going to continue there would be a massive build up of factories to try to releave some of the TC problems

morchuflex, stabsoffizier, -Delta-: I have no idea if there is a bonus or not

chefportnen: Steal it back then! No excuses!!
