Turn 4???, October 13 1939

The game insist it's turn 4 again, should be 6. But all looks well, the date is correct.
I've applied the latest beta, 7U1.

Rain covers Europe, and the Phoney War sets in.

It's all quiet. Even our U-boats sink nothing and are not spotted.





T1 =September 1; T2 = September 15; T3= September 29 and T4 = October 13.

Since fleets (other than CVs) can't attack or intercept submarines unless in or adjacent to a coastal hex; what is the purpose of his surrounding your uboat?

I'm assuming those are carrier fleets. They don't really need to be adjacent. You'd have to ask Sillyflower.

Germany builds a large corps and 4 landing ships.
Italy builds a small corps.

Redistribution of AA guns is complete. We actually lost some
in the raid on Hamburg.

Our u-boats sink 6 merchants. Very happy with that.

Germany buys a large corps.
Italy buys supply trucks (x10), will bring their total to 12.

Since it's an extremely quiet turn, I'll explain why I'm not going to attack Norway.
First of all it would give the UK at large amount of merchants ships, more than cancelling
any u-boat effort so far. It's also costly in terms of resources that can be used in France.
There is little to gain, and we'd have to garrison all the harbors.
The positives are very few, it doesn't effectively help protect the iron ore route. Nor does it really
help us raid the Arctic trade route.

This is an issue I want to see addressed. Norway should be important in terms of access to the Swedish ore for half the year.

And I was so distracted by the Norway issue that I forgot to turn off the iron
ore convoy route last turn! At least we only lose 4 merchants.
Our own u-boats sink another 4 merchants.

Germany builds a large corps.

We use our only oiler to keep them at sea.

By now I'm regretting buying 2 paratroopers (it's a new experiment),
but we'll work with it.

are sitting at 99% manpower, but at the moment nothing can be done."

Doesn't that mean your stockpile of manpower is full? That's a good thing, right? In my game, when I purchase a unit that number goes down and then slowly goes back to 99% if I don't purchase another for awhile.

U-boats sink another 6 merchants! I've never had remotely this much success with submarines
in any other game.

We take a gamble and turn back on the iron ore route, let's see if we can sneak in some resources!

Germany builds an interceptor. A bit random since it won't be operational until August, but I
want a total of 6 interceptors by 1941.

Italy's economy is fairly small, next we'll want a few mountain corps:

I am about to start my first pbem as the Allies; so I hope an uber-uboat bug hasn't crept into the system somehow.

From what I can tell playing solo the enemy doesn't know which convoys have been turned off or on; is that correct?

U-boats sink 5 merchants. We lose 8 merchants on the iron ore route,
time to turn it off for good!

Germany builds 40 landing ships and one large corps.

Our u-boats are low on supply and head to port.

Allied high command seems upset about our u-boats.
Good, let them spend resources on escorts and new merchants.

Our u-boats head out for more raiding.

Germany builds yet another large corps.

Germany gets assault and anti-tank tech. Interceptor tech moves to 41.
All German production goes to upgrades while manpower sits at 99%.

Our u-boats don't raid anything, is the southern Atlantic route off?

Italy buys a small corps.

U-boats sink 6 merchants, but actually take 2 step losses.
They are recalled for repairs. I won't send them out again until
we have 41 tech.

All German production goes to upgrades (mislabeled "Upkeep" in the game).
I would really have liked to see different values for upkeep and reinforcements.

Since this is hopefully the last turn of inclement weather, let's take a look at
the German and Allied deployments.

Much like in our previous game, SillyFlower does not like deploying the BEF to France.
This is good news, as the conquest of France will be easier.
And this is bad news, as SeaLion will be all but impossible.

I'm honestly winging it when it comes to my deployment. For some reason I am highly uncomfortable
with the assault on the Benelux. I can never seem to get it quite right.

The weather finally gets better and we declare war on the Netherlands.

But before we get to that let's cover some minor points:
-Italy gets Assault, Anti-Tank and Warship techs.
-Germany mobilizes the 2nd Panzer and a large corps.
-German u-boats are undergoing repairs and in 27 days they should be ready for upgrades.

Brussels. To have any chance of taking the city this turn we give the 1st Light Panzer
engineers too.
