Hello everyone, welcome to our Global War AAR.

I'm playing as the Allies and Warspite1 as the Axis.

We have few other games going on same time, but there is always time for a minor conflict. For those who are plying with us already: We will prioritize those games.

Three house rules as below.

- USSR - Japan pact (Basically playing the normal rules but without markers so based upon Garrison ratios. No attack in 39 and needs 2:1 in 40 for Japan to DoW).

- Only strategic bombing allowed as a night mission (all other missions must be performed by day).

- HOUSE RULE FOR EN-ROUTE INTERCEPTION (removed during game).

You are quite right. Although this rule can be confusing at times. So I add this just in case.

To break the pact you need 2:1 but the defensive garrison value is modified depending on year. So in reality the value needed is as follows.

4:1 in '40
2:1 in '41
1:1 in '42
2:3 in '43
1:2 in '44 and '45

Typical US set up, fleets to Norfolk and San Diego.

USSR places almost all European units on Romanian border.
2x INF, CAV div and CAV are placed on Persian border.
Zhukov, AT gun, INF, FTR and LND3 are placed to Manchurian border.

I did not post pictures of scrapped units, after all major powers have doe their set up we can post them all together.

Set-up: Italy

As said, scrapped unit detail to follow.

Set-up pretty uncontroversial. A heavy presence on the French border, the fleet in La Spezia guarded by the Regia Aeronautica and the majority of units around Tripoli.

Set-up: Japan

Scrapped units to follow. Meantime the Japanese set up with an emphasis in the north. Light forces are left to guard the south and central portions of China.

Set-up: Germany

Scrapped units to follow. Nothing out of the ordinary with the German placement. It's a Poland-centric set-up.

Houston we have a problem.....

Looks like you overstacked the US air units and are being asked to destroy them.

Ah, dang. I need to edit file and move some of them to other city. I do it tonight... I think it�s easier than doing everything again.

Now when I think, is it possible to take pilots out of planes from CVs?

Here are the Polish units

Remember the two naval units too.

I can go back and set-up all units - so long as you are okay with that?

If so, let me know where you want the US aircraft to go.

Remember some units may now change so we could lose out or gain - but there is not much else we can do.

It�s easy to fix by editing file, I do it in 5 minutes tonight. No need to redo set up.

Right, well there is no autosave for post the German set-up so I am going to have to re-do the German set-up and hope there is not a big difference in units chosen.

There is a bit of a difference. It looks like the only thing in the German's favour is the extra Stuka (but no Ju-88) and the better He-111 (strat factor) , but everything else is either the same or worse than previously picked e.g. no MOT AA unit, black print MTN, slower infantry and MOT. But I'm not going to keep re-doing until its the same so it will have to do.

Can you save at destroy planes stage? If not you can proceed. I can fix by editing those CVPs and pilots they die too.

warspite1

Sorry I'm not sure what you are saying and I have no idea what can be edited and what all that means. As I see it the options are:

1. I re-do all countries (which I can do but, as seen above, we accept that some picks may be different) - but its pot luck and we just accept it.

2. We carry on as we are - but that assumes you can edit the US so you simply re-position the aircraft. If that is not possible without losing the aircraft and/or the pilots (which is too big a penalty for a simple mistake) then that is not a good idea.

What do you want to do 1 or 2

No the game can't be saved at that point. Why don't we just start over - I can then have the game ready in an hour or so?

OK, but ask if there are different units for some countries that affect something. You can see what I scrapped.

Okay, on reflection I can't see the convoys for the British and French and there is too much possibility that I'll place the wrong unit somewhere, so we might as well just start completely from scratch and set up our own forces. We can just overwrite this thread.

OK. Or if you proceed and destroy CVPs. I can edit pilots if they are killed and also edit few BPs to build new equal class CVPs.

Okay if you are confident you can do that. I'll have to pick the Germans again for the same reason as before.

Hopefully the last attempt at German set-up. The aircraft position is slightly better than the first attempt but the land units remain worse and I've lost the 5-speed MOT and 6-speed AT unit. But it is what it is and I'll proceed on this basis.

So 3 of the four Dark Blue US Carrier aircraft have been destroyed following overstack. I'll check to see if the pilots have been added to the reserve pool (they should be). And then its a case of getting four similar aircraft back using the editor.

Sep/Oct 1939
Impulse: 1 (Axis)

The weather is Fine everywhere and the Axis have the initiative.

Declarations of War and Alignments:
Germany

Germany declares war on Poland. Congress is not happy - although their reaction could have been stronger (an 8 is thrown for 1 Chit). In the interests of moving the game on I add this to the Germany/Italy pool.

Polish set-up as per Mayhemizer's previous orders:
