This is an excellent AAR, thank you. If you could provide more info about these topics:
1. You didn't comment on this, but you "exported" AA unit from Malta and planted a garnison there. Did this AA went to France? Wasn't that an invitation for Axis to go for N Africa? Taking Malta would probably easier now, but maybe I overestimate its meaning. Not that Germany should go for Africa, just asking.
2. Defense of North Russia - generally it's advised for Germans to go south, your opponent of course knows it and pursues it, but some players may not. Some will go center, some will go north. That Riga - Daugavpils line seems to be so juicy to defend, that giving it for free hurts my feelings  You left only a corps in Riga, Talinn empty... Is there any action BTW? Screens are from south/center.
3. UK really surprises me. Paratroopers, bilions of TAC bombers? Where did you get these MPP's? But more important, what was your research? I see your STR bomber is level 2, but on the other hand inf weapons are still lvl 1 for UK. Any points in industrial techs? ASW?
4. How was naval warfare in Atlantic? Judging by AAR, non existent, but maybe there was some action. I can't imagine letting uboat go wild, because any transports form US would have tough life.
Learning a lot from both of you, thanks.
1. Yes the AA went to France, and after France fell was transported back to Malta. After the ability for HQs to boost each other even off 1 supply was buffed, Malta is no longer important except for national morale purposes.
2. In an earlier post I mentioned that I would have defended that line had Clausewitz not annexed Lithuania. However, as he had annexed it, it would have been much easier for him to surround and choke out the defenders of the line since he would have been extremely close and with high supply. He was pushing Leningrad with artillery and tanks, but backed off after I declared war on Sweden, as he is worried about my strategic bombers denying his ability to escape. He has not pushed into Estonia
3. I mentioned earlier that the UK should build all the TAC bombers they can around the fall of france, as there is a DE from the USA where the US sends a tac bomber to the UK, thereby increasing the UK's limit. Also two of those TACs are Indian. Research priority is:
Infantry weapons > advanced aircraft > ground attack > naval weapons (mostly for your carriers) > advanced tanks > heavy bomber > LR aircraft > spying and intel
Don't bother with ASW unless your opponent is going for a sub strategy. Nor do I bother with any industrial techs as the UK. The goal of the UK is to smack the Axis where it can for the first few years of the war. Focusing too much on "macro" techs such as production and industrial tech for the UK goes against my philosophy. The UK needs to be the biggest thorn in Germany's side as possible. If the UK player is too passive and just waiting to become an unstoppable wave, the USSR is more likely to fall. And the game is won and lost in the USSR.
As a side note, UK gets a pretty substantial boost when they finish researching naval weapons 2, as their carriers become much more deadly. The UK player should try to coincide a major attack with naval weapons 2 upgrade if possible. Just remember to set them to naval/tactical mode
4. Not much, Clausewitz did attack the ports in Australia for awhile though. All quiet on the Atlantic
