Try to edit them smaller, take only partial screenshot (using paint or other program) or use "alt gr + print screen" for active window only.

For example in our AAR pictures are smaller (usually up to 1300-1600 x 900 pixels). Big pictures are good when you are posting situation in China entire Europe or German/USSR front. When you post US entry pool or land combat, you can post only that window and pictures are smaller. When I post pictures of map, I often paste the image to Paint and cut useless parts away to make it smaller.

Germans on the Eastern Front, along with the Polish setup. What do you all think?



It looks a pretty good Polish set-up based upon the German deployment. The Germans will need to disorganise or destroy the CAV or it could put their northern forces OOS. That will take air and/or land forces away from the primary goals of Warsaw/Lodz. They will also need to deal with both the Div in the south, or lose an oil, and the 4-3 INF in the forest to open the way to the key cities. There's probably enough for the Germans to accomplish what they want but a couple of poor die rolls could see things bogged down and then who knows. If the weather deteriorates, the Germans increase their likelihood of losses if they persist in attacking and the chance of the turn ending improves.

If the Germans take losses and/or the Polish campaign drags on, it's a strategic victory for the Allies and this looks like it's giving a reasonable chance for that to occur.

This aggressive deployment is an unacceptable provocation. Germany is now at war with Poland.

Status: offline 		A synopsis will have to do, for now. It is frustrating that I cannot post screen shots.

Japanese G3M2 bombers flying out of Canton have raided Chungking and missed oil dumps and factories (roll 5 no effect.)

The Polish Tarnow Cavalry positioned on the East Prussian border are rudely awoken by Luftwaffe Stukas. They are disorganised. I wish I could show you.

Heinkels and Dorniers ground strike Warsaw. Rydz HQ is disorganised, but the other unit is unscathed. Too bad for the historic city centre.

[Keith and I have not discussed getting some independent internet die rolls as some players do. But I would be happy to do that.]

Getting late in this part of the world but expect more action tomorrow evening UK time. Hopefully I'll be able to post more screenshots.

The yankee-imperialist Chinese airforce declined to intercept the single wing of Japanese ground support, which rebased to Wuhan.

The Chinese Nationalists bravely stand their ground. There is a bloodbath but eventually they are overwhelmed.

The General's silk slippers have moved a few miles closer to Changsha, and occupy the advantageous heights.

But surely this will slow the Japanese in China.

Status: offline 		Now once again I am thwarted because of this limited posting of pictures for new members thing. If any mods with the power to free me from this handicap are reading this, I'd be very grateful.

I will email the screenshots to Keith in case he wants to post them.

But the short story is: all three German attacks succeed without losses or disorganisation.

The Karpaty Corps is blitzed out of existence in an automatic win north of Warsaw and the Vistula by Army Group von Bock.

Katowice falls and the infantry division defending it is destroyed by mechanised elements of Army Group von Rundstedt.

The Field Marshal himself, supported by army and SS infantry, blitzes through the forests of southern Poland destroying the Modlin infantry corps.

No further HQ or air support was deployed by Germany. A marine Heinkel is redeployed to Danzig from Wilhemshavn.

The Fuehrer is "surprised and disappointed" at declarations of war by the British Empire and the French Republic.

So is the USA.

I thought it was both ten posts and then a week.

Edit: So the restrictions should be lifted by now.

Edit 2: It might be they changed the rules for this yet again when the last spamming attacks occurred a few months ago.

Quick question. Does anyone know why my screen shots are coming out so large when I post them here? Thanks.
I use GIMP2. It's powerful, free and includes significant functionality controlling image size. It's does have a bit of a learning curve but once you spend the time to learn it it's become easy to crop, resize and build images from several screen caps all of which I've found very useful for posting AAR images.
