and so tojo sucessfully completes his raids gaining valuable material for the war effort...my questions for you are as follows though..
now with a lengthy front stretching from africa to asia, how will you deal with the non fortefied borders of arabia? will you push to take the suez? without it the British forces in Persia might start weakening horrificly if you can cut it off...especially if you cut that trans siberian railway.
anyway good luck! ill be watching, startin my AAR soon

And another one bites the dust. Though I wonder how the Soviets could have occupied Al Jalamid. Do they have military access through British territory?
You mean you missed the part where Poland invaded manchuria through the USSR? If two countries are at war with the same country, the game gives them automatic military access through each other's territory.
Do you think you could give us a world map?
I'm quite interested to see how it's changed with all these developments.
Great AAR btw.

Hi Lord Windy! Welcome to the forums! Come and enjoy the smorgasbord of AAR goodness you can find around these parts.
IanClacher: Request for a world map seconded - it would be nice, if it's not too difficult.
Do you have the forces to safeguard the Middle East? Clearly, the Soviets are willing to come play, as are assorted minors - that makes me wonder: perhaps you'll see the sight of the Soviets in China and Manchuria packing up and shuffling off to vacation in the sands of Arabia, where there are no intimidating level 9 fortresses...

Do you have the techs needed for paratroop raids? 4 engine aircrafts and paratroopers?
If you do I think that a few divisions of paratroopers and the planes needed to drop them will show quite useful in encircling enemies. 10 to 20 divisions behind enemy lines can become quite hard for the enemy to defeat, especially if you keep them supplied by plane and allow conventional troops to complete the encirclement.
Really awesome AAR except the lack of airdrops.
At least airdrop some troops in central Europe after you secure the Suez canal enough to secure a foothold with some naval bases and airfields. After that all you need is to secure is a base in the Panama to be able to strike all over the world at your wish. Why wait for the US and UK to send their pathetic fleets when you can track them down and destroy them close to their homeland!

I didn't miss that but I didn't give it much thought since Poland is part of the Comintern. The automatic military access is nice to know about.
Looks more like Tojo plans to conquer the Med and Africa as well, at least every country which does not have a border with Russia, as this would enable the Russians to corcumvent the Asia Wall. By now, Japan should have plenty of resources and all conquests are more likely aimed at aquiring more manpower in the long run. I wonder how long it will take until Tojo turns his eyes on South America.
I'm not Tojo, but i don't think he'll try to invade anything in America at least until the Soviets are defeated. And - to be honest - it'd be much more fun to see Japan liberating Germany.
September 1953
Planned line in the Middle-East
As Japanese forces in Arabia northwards,Tojo and his commanders had agreed upon a line which they would try and hold.If it could be achieved it would prevent British forces moving into the Middle-East from Africa,it would give Japan access to Mediterranean ports and by not opening up a direct border with Russia,it should also deter any large scale Soviet deployments to the region.
Belgian forces on the move in the Middle-East
Tojo eyes East African ports
While not an immediate priority,Tojo has requested that plans be drawn up that would allow Japan to seize control of the remaining Red Sea and Indian Ocean ports from its enemies.Should such assaults occur,they would be limited only to capturing the ports,and further incursions into Africa would not take place.
Yamamoto intercepts British fleet south of the Seychelles
Having sailed to intercept a British attack against the Seychelles,Yamamoto was suprised when reconnaissance planes reported back on the size of the British fleet.Despite the British fleet possessing a lot of gun power,Yamamoto had faith in his aircraft to deliver the telling blow.
After the fleets collided, Yamamoto emerged victorious.Despite losing three cruisers in the sea battle,Yamamoto had sunk HMS Revenge,HMS Inconstant and HMS Prince of Wales,as well as preventing the British from retaking the Seychelles.
Enemy forces increase as Japanese troops continue to advance north-west in the Middle-East
British troops move west from Persia
Middle-East:21st September
British tanks advance into Tabuk
At the end of September,Japanese marines in the north-western Saudi province of Tabuk came under attack from a British armoured force.With the bulk of the Japanese force still advancing,the marines were forced into a tactical withdrawal.With enemy forces increasing in the region,it was now clear that Tojo's planned frontline would have to be fought hard for.
British retain strong forces in Persia and Afghanistan despite some UK troops being deployed to the Saudi frontline

Thanks for the map ^^
Well, I'm certainly interested to see how you're going to deal with all that red just north of your borders .-.

October 1953
Japanese northern Middle-East offensive begins
On the 6th October,with the majority of the Japanese forces having advanced to northern Arabia,the offensive to clear out the British and Belgian forces began.
Middle-East front:9th October
The Battle of Tabuk
The Battle of Ash Shabakah
The Battle of Jabal Ramm
The Battles of Al Jawf and Al Basrah
British withdraw forces from India/Persia border
Following the rapid Japanese advance into British territory,the UK began to withdraw some of its forces from the India/Persia border.With this development in mind,Tojo decided to go on the offensive across the border with the aim of capturing the southern Persian coast,hopefully linking together with the rest of the Middle-East.
The Middle-East:20th October
Imperial Army attacks remaining British force in Chabahar
The Battle of An Nasiriyah
The Battle of Chabahar
The Middle-East:31st October
The Invasion of Russia:Tojo's Basic Plan
The first stage of the attack will see Japanese forces push north through the rest of the British and Persian territory (1 and 2).These forces will eventually drive north to form a line east and west of the north Caspian Sea.The line will safeguard the western flank of the invasion against Russian reinforcements and other International forces arriving from the west.
Map 1
Once forces 1 and 2 have crossed into Russian territory,the rest of the invasion force will begin to move.A 'massive' airborne invasion will begin to the rear of the Russian frontline with the aim of forming and holding a line while the bulk of the invasion force advances.The main invasion force(3,4 and 5 will advance towards the airborne divisions from the west and from the east.The main objective:encircle the Red Army
Several divisions(6)will break-off from the eastern invasion force to secure the northern and north-eastern perimeter.
Map 2
No date has yet been confimed for the invasion.It will of course require a huge force and a significant amount of time to prepare.In addition,the large number of airborne divisions needed will take some time to recruit and train.Hopefully,the invasion could be launched in the summer.
The Air Campaign
A limited air-campaign will begin shortly.This will increase over time depending on rates of fuel consumption.The air campaign will target both Russian ground forces and supply routes and infrastructure.

Yes.That really should be done.
Is that a polish salient in the former Manchuko?
Yes.The Poles are everywhere.Who would have thought that at the end of '39.
