And now some numbers after 10 turns played. Increasing my war footing from 80 to 98. Next turn it will be 100% .

Power level
Everything stays almost at the same level, except fighters which significant rises in numbers and bomber who decline lightly.

In details we see a decrease in numbers for regular Inf, heavy weapons and bombers (He 111).

On the other hand we increased significant horses, trains, fighters and a new subunit: Engineers.
And others saw a some increase.

Overall power level rise.
Kills are declining sins the polen champagne ended.
but losses don’t follow this trend. Probably to the losses of u-boots.


and what did this bring in production points.
Polen: Warchau: 4000, Danzig: 2000, Poznan: 2000, Krakow: 2000, Lodz: 2000, Lublin: 1000, totaal = 13 000 PP
Denmark; Kopenhagen: 2000, Arhus: 1000, Alborg: 1000, totaal = 4000 PP.
Frankrijk: Strasburg: 1000 PP
overall totaal: 18 000 PP. Producing at 10% = 1 800 PP or 1800 supplies

Reached 100% war footage for Germany

Our major production, besides supply, goes to our Luftwaffe.

The flak 88 gives my Inf div some good protection against the French armour. Also some light flak for air defends. They will come in handy latter as air cover will get low.

Widening the breach in the Maginotline, while our armed forces our gathering and strengthen them self’s for the spring offensive.

Reproducing the blitzkrieg like in real may 1940 is not an option in this version of the scenario. It takes too long (2 turns = 2 months) for the German panzer forces to get through the Ardennes and hit Sedan.
Also the Allies now these moves and they don’t step into the trap.
That’s why I try to break the French line as early as possible, with as little losses as possible. Then in spring my panzer can rush thru and finish the job without fighting in urban (bunker), mountainous or other risky terrain.

The French losses begin to mont.
Ours are on average exept for u-boots and a bit too much for fighters.

We keep building fighters.
Also art and armour for our offensive.

The French line begins to cruble.
Spring is near and our panzer go to thiere starting positions.

The plan is to breakthru and go around the southern end of the Meuse. With the right speed and force we can trap a lot of French units now defending the Maginotlines southern end the city of Mulhouse.

I build powerful mobil SS units for flank protection.

I leave some troops in Polen.
They suffert the most in the previuos campagne and are therefore not in great shape.
But if in the event Russia comes in early, they have to help out.

Some build up on the Yugoslavian border too.

Operation France goes beter than expected.
It’s still winter and 25% penalty but I have to move my Panzer army forwards to exploit the breach in the French line.

The 2 army will cover the flank to the north, the 1 army that of the south, while my 4 panzer army drives thru and heads for Dijon.

Build up at the borders of Holland and Belgium/Luxemburg.
When the time is ripe they will start their run.

An attack on a Royal navy unit turned out terribly bad.
We lost our 3 Ju88, some Do17 and some fighters.
Cruisers are still real planes eaters in this game.

Decrease neutrality for axis minors.
Imo I need the minors more than I need Italy.
Certainly if we want to defeat the Russians in a reasonable time.

France is retreating fast and tries to contain the breakthrough.
But there are still a lot of troops in the Maginotline.
So our planes stay the same.

The French retreated behind the Meuse. Our troops follow very close. The panzers are now on the frontline and will try to break through the lines and destroy or cut of some French units.

Again terrible losses for our Luftwaffe, an attack group got surprised by a large force of allied fighters who were hiding for such an opportunity.

Rear guards on the Russian border.
Build up on the Yugoslavia border. Here our troops consist of my 3 gebirgsjäger div, for fast movement through the mountains and light fast mobile units for the plains and Belgrade.

But they get hunted down even before reaching the Atlantic. In the past turns they were attacked of the coast of Norway by search planes and the Royal navy. Not much I can do about that exept hiding and hoping to reach great the waters.

Lowered again the Axis minors’ neutrality.
I try also besides fighters to increase my tactical air support.

Oef did not see that coming. But I had to expect it. A counter attack of those good French tanks from multiple sides almost wiped out a light Panzer div.
Our plane to trap French units around Muhous has worked but not so good as hooped.

Now I have to decide which way my panzers go next.
1) Do they go north of the river Seine and try to cut of some of the troops who now are defending on the river Meuse. But here will be the most troops and thus the greatest resistance.
2) Do they go south of the river Seine and try to take Paris in a hurry an so forcing Vichy, witch wipes out all Allied forces in France. But the catch here is , will Vichy be established. If not then the panzers could be in trouble.
3) Or are we strong enough to do both.

A big air battle occurred above France.
We both lost the same number of Fighters but looking at the cost and quality the Allied did a better job.
Additionally Germany lost some stuka’s to. Thus it was a defeat for the Luftwaffe.
Hawker 8+(-27)=19, Spitfire 7+(-12)=5, MS 406 5+(-8)=3 gives a total of 27 against Bf 109 24+(-51)= 27 and 5 stuka’s.
The result is I have to shift more production to fighters also flak for more protection of forward units.
I keep also producing militia. They take up garrison duties in many places to free up other more needed Inf subunits.
Reduced Axis minors’ neutrality again, hopefully this will soon pay off.

Despite air cover from my air group a panzer got hit by an airstrike and seriously damaging it. But then those forwards units are mostly on the edge of my air cover. This is one of the reasons I send some light flak along with my forwards units and try to give them a little bit of air cover.

I decided to go for both options, north and south, this because the 2 army is pushing rapidly the defenders of the Meuse aside, maybe even can surround some of them. And my 1 army does the same at Mulhouse. This frees up my Panzer’s support inf. Together with my strong SS units, who now come to the front line, I think it’s possible to take Reims and still put pressure on the south towards Paris.

Another big air battle above France this time initiated by the Allies and again the Luftwaffe lost in quality.
On the other hand a concentric attack on one of my forwards units got repelled.
But I am convinced that my troops are strong enough to do both attacks towards Paris and Reims.

My losses in fighters are getting very high. Don’t know how long this can go on for me.
Also the Allies are losing heavily but they can effort it in the long run.

Status: offline 		I don't know how you are using your fighters but I have this feeling that fighters are more efficient on a "recon mission" thereby engaging enemy interceptors, then when they engage enemy interceptors when accompanying bombers. I don't know why this is but they seem to have more losses when your fighters accompany your bombers. So what I sometimes do is first do a recon mission with my fighters to lure enemy fighters out, then send in my bombers with my remaining fighters.

Status: offline 		Yep that’s the way it is done in this game of AT. You send in a few times a single absolute fighter on a recon mission. There is a 50/50 change he comes back and at the same time he lures the enemy’s fighters to intercept. Doing this a couple of times and the intercepting fighters are out of action points and the air attack that matters can go without intercept. Downside there is no dogfight and so no enemy planes downed. Next turn the other side will do the same and the all air forces will grow on both sides until…..
Also in this particularly scenario there a restriction on intercept, when the intercepting fighters are close to the limit of their range, then there is a change they do not intercept at all
