1. I learned myself hard way you can't leave Manchester empty. You can buy a garrison, you may also send one from belgian Congo.
2. Closing space between UK and Ireland may also prove usefull for different reasons, one quickly became apparent in your game.
3. Keeping your planes outside of Axis bomber range is also important, you rarely need them close to the coast anyway.

Looks quite grim, but losing UK is not the end of the world, if you can buy enough time. Though it got attacked pretty early, so...

@earlydoors,

Thank you for taking the time to document your experience.

And also thanks to TaffJones for requesting an AAR.

EarlyDoor's review of the highlights of each turn illustrated the challenges that anyone of us could face on the fields of friendly strife...

"There but for the grace of God goes I."



EarlyDoors -> RE: New ELO game (12/9/2020 6:48:37 AM)

February 1941

~ China re-take Tianshui; Japanese push into Kweichow on the southern axis

~ German Maritime Bomber takes out a UK sub in the Mediterranean
~ 2 ITA Corps force the Sudan Defence Force into a rout at Kassala; they look doomed to disintegration in the desert
~ German mpp at 750 per turn

If you're reading this, thank a teacher. If you're reading this in English, thank the US Army.

3 Panzers in Egypt, you'll be speaking German soon.

What is US mob? Must be pretty high. Will probably necessitate an early JA attack.

Panzers in Abyssinia? That must be a first. With the focus on ME, I think Barb will be underpowered. Will be interesting to see what happens in Russia and Asia in the fall.



EarlyDoors -> RE: New ELO game (12/10/2020 4:41:01 AM)

May 1941

~ China has collapsed; Infantry Weapons 1 have arrived and can be applied to only 3 units
~ Ark Royal sunk; Axis Navy fans out to blockade all ports capable of re-inforcing East Africa; Capetown, Bombay, Dar-es Salaam, Mombassa, Berbera
~ 10th Army pop up in Jerusalem and are immediately hit by Panzer and Army...they hold
~ Ghurkas destroyed by german pzr outside Dir Dawa; Axis abandons Mogadishu to the South Africans
~ Level 2 Turkish Armies on USSR border; ITA paratroops at ready state: looks like June 1941 will be the fateful date

UK down to seven naval units? Good God, man . . .



taffjones -> RE: New ELO game (12/10/2020 9:11:56 AM)

Reading this AAR I have taken to drinking for you EarlyDoors.

It appears Fanfir is a Magician of world class ability. Able to make Allied units disappear and produce Axis one's out of thin air.

I can see why you haven't been able to do any screen shots, you must be pulling your hair out trying to come up with a solution.

A great read though, maybe after the game you could both give some insight's into what your plans were and how they were countered.
