A few notes before I start
I have things set on the easiest level with AI at weakling IIRC
This is my first real full major power caimpaign, I played as Germany but cheated all the tech modes.
In this game I did use event 1009 a few times when a shifting war entry caught me off balance and for elections, as it bugs me. However when I did fall short on consumer goods I cut back supplies and made other small changes to get back in the black, or should I say white, I didn't abuse event 1009 [great song improves morale] to cut back on consumer goods
Don't expect much literary flair, I don't have the skills or the inclination. I tried to think of a way to write it up as actual people but I know my limits
I have skipped most of the reporting untill the Japanese DOW.
Part 1: The Pre war era. 1936 to 1941
History untill Jan 8 1942 and the DOW
It has been an interesting 6 years. On the global stage most of the global events happened as per normal except
1: France held out for almost 6 months
2: Malta fell to Italy, Rhoades fell to the British
3: The British drove Italy back to its 2 western most Lybian posessions, plus their 1 former french province. England did lose Port Said for a short while.
4: The Czechoslovaks are still independant, complete and neutral.
5: Yugoslavia managed to avoid trouble as did Albania
6 The War with Russia started in Early 1941 and things do not look good for the germans.
a:The central front has stalled
b: With the neutal czechs when the Russians hold Lvov, which is most of the time, the South and Central fronts are isolated.
c: The Germans have 2 or 3 times made it to novograd on the outskirts of leningrad only to have the Russians counter attack through Lativa cutting off the spear heads. The inital attacks seem to make it that far up the cost because the Russians didn't have anything in the costal Baltic provinces.
d: The North Front seems to average around Latvia, poor buggers are getting a beating.
e: The Hungarians, Bulgarians and Romanians have been totaly left to their own devices and have not done well, in part because they are not helping each other. The Russians have drove along the Black sea coast and hold all of it. They have also made it to the Hungarian border, and have pushed into Bulgaria.
7: The Allies have about 50 divisions into one region of Italian occupied France just recently
8: Other attempts have failed, both on Italy and France.
US news:
Almost all theory techs are now researched, I will provide some more detail in another post
Lend lease, and the oil embargo had been rejected, and we went republican
Maxed out oil coal and steel, over 40K rubber and almost 4K manpower.
Japan and the US are at war as of jan 8 1942, however our puppets are still neutral, nor has Japan DoW any other of the allies. Looks like we are on our own. As befitting a totally isolationst style.
I've shared no tech, but I will probably send some infantry techs to nationalist china.
