Well you sure must be carefull, by 1942 or 43 the Soviets can developed into a very dangerous beast! But then you have more time to build your army to top notch and forge a board anti-soviet-alliance!

Why interceptors and not fighters? Wouldn't it be good to have the flexibility they provide in air superiority AND some ground support?

It's rob's skill that he puts naked women in the update and we're drooling over the other images . Haha he may want to change that , but otherwise that's pretty hilarious .
Unfortunately, the only way I can get my economic slider all the way over to Full Free Market is if I'm a Democratic government and I'm heading in the other direction.I actually feel pretty lucky to have my Free Market settings as high as they are.intruder alert said:It seems, re: the sliders, that once you are over the hump in either direction, you might as well go to that extreme. Esp. re: Free Market. Its not really worth the IC boost and you have a huge army to upgrade anyway...
nah! I don't really need them! Although I already have modded in some new Polish generals...those will become more apparent in future updates.Enewald said:Btw, have you thought of addind slovak and czech generals into your ranks?
Just like their tech teams.
The weird thing was i could not for the life of me find a similar portait style image of Albert Lebrun. Apparently if any paintings or portaits of him were done, they didn't survive the war.demokratickid said:
Thanks! I think I've seen you here once before...but let me make sure to welcome you this time. Welcome!ruckel said:Really good AAR
Thanks very much for pointing this out...just a silly mistake in my markup and it's now corrected. You make a great point about an update on other events around the world. I'll incorporate a world events around the world update in my next batch of stuff.Maj. von Mauser said:
I never cease to be amazed at the kinds of things I can dig up on the internet if I dig hard enough. That lineup is a small example of such things. I'm glad you liked it...I thought it was pretty cool as well.canonized said:The Winter War is definitely going badly but it looks like you're using the distraction in excellent moves for preparation . My favourite piece of eye candy this time around was the military comparison lineup
You're right! and actually it's what I'm hoping for. The campaign in Russia (for me anyway) is the most challenging and fun part of the game. I've played games as Germany where I've pounced on the Russians while they were distracted in Finland and frankly that was just too easy. I want the challenge and I need the time to build up my mobile forces. It's a lot more fun to encircle giant hoardes of Russians when they actually have some fight in them.Zauberfloete said:
I'm definitely an interceptor guy. The main reason I'm following this path is because I anticipate breaking from the western alliance and needing to defend my production infrastructure from allied bombing raids. Interceptors receive a nice bonus vs bombers. There are 2 distinct disadvantages to interceptors: 1) they have a shorter range than fighters 2) the upgrade path to more advanced jets later in the game is longer. Those disadavantages aside, I still like the interceptor vs bomber advantage enough to choose this pathway. I don't put much stock in any ground attack capability of the fighters. I'll leave that work to my Tac Bombers. My main priority will be to defend my IC.innocex said:
My guess is that the Europeans are saying....so what! and the Americans are saying...COOL....boobs! We live in a weird culture here in America. Movies depicting a man fondling a woman's breast get a rating of R..maybe even X. If that same man uses a knife to cut off that woman's breast, then suddenly the rating drops to PG-13...maybe R. Apparently violence is less objectionable than tenderness. It's a bizarre standard. I feel confident that we can all handle a drawing of a few boobs on this modest little AAR. But when the mods come to haul me aware for vending porn you may get the last laugh here.demokratickid said:
Isn't that the best! I found that image on a fantastic site put together by the British National Archives. You can find that site HEREelbasto said:
I prefer fighters, mainly due to their longer range, especially when playing Germany and the UK. For example when playing Germany I can use Fighters to have Air Superiority almost everywhere over western Europe from Airbases in central France, and my fighters can also cover all of Italy and most of the Balkans from Airbases in southern italy.

The (better ? Well at least the more attractive) half of humanity has those. Get over it.
@robw963
You have probably noticed but I have also modded a few traits of existing generals e.g. Maczek got defender skill (paying with one skill level for that), Thommee logistical wizard and trickster if I am not wrong (one of better generals in 1939), Szylling - defender (most likely the best army commander in 1939), Kutrzeba trickster (if there is anyone deserving it it must be him) while overrated ones like Anders (in 1939 terms he really was, he got his skills for 1944-45 performance) were reduced a bit.
Anyway, I should have it done in a week or so.

All of humanity has nipples. Duh.

I intentionally wrota that.
Mind that it is even less... shocking so really there is nothing to be so ... put in whatever you want. 
Again an incredible update!
A picture says a thousand words, so you AAR is getting quite lengthy

Agreed. Sometimes I feel like a European, just born on the wrong side of the Atlantic Ocean...

What is the interceptor/fighter difference in bonus vs. bombers?
I guess I like all the different types of missions fighters can do and interceptors don't, even though there may be some redundancy because tactical bombers can handle the logistical strike/installation strike/ ground attack better than a fighter.
Interceptors receive a +25% combat bonus vs. enemy bombers. That's a significant incentive to use them.innocex said:
Since being diagnosed with mono early yesterday, I've had little to do in my drugged-out stupor. One of the ways I've found to pass the hours is reading whole AARs I hadn't managed to discover yet. Great job - I just caught up, and I look forward to reading new updates while not on vicodin! Thanks a lot!
welcome! sorry to hear about your mono...that's no fun. I can promise you an update this weekend though...hopefully that will help take the edge off the mono, even if just a little bit.
