Germany- 1939 Historic World War - Day by Day Report

30 Jan 2021, 06:44

Hi I saw a few of you guys were doing these day by day report things so I thought it would be cool to do one of my own. At this point the game is already 3 days in so I will fill in what has happened so far.

Day 1: I started by making a coalition called 'League of Nations'. Soviet Union and Italy both wanted in and they were in a good spot so I let them in. Soviet Union was level 40 with 0.60 KDR and Italy was about the same. I could tell by their stats that they were not the best players but I didn't want to have to worry about their borders (for now at least) so I just approved their applications. I also got share map with UK and sweden. My plan was to invade Poland and France early on and gain control of Europe. I moved the 2 light tank divisions near netherlands and belgium to belgiums border and took down belgium with ease. (somehow one tank division dropped to half hp while I was sleeping but I'm not quite sure how that happened). For productions, I went with medium tanks, tac bombers, and motorized infantry. From what I have learned by playing so far, stacks of medium tanks and motorized infantry are kinda op and paired with sp anti air it is almost unstoppable. Anyways, Poland was mostly defeated by day 1, Belgium was occupied and now I had to develop a plan to take france. Plan A: throw my freed up units from poland through Belgium to outflank the maginot line like how germany did irl. Plan B: Me and Italy would pincer France's border in an attempt to get his units in the maginot line to either move to the border, allowing me to make a big push through the center, or to get his units to move forward and attack my fortified units (more of a trap) where his units would suffer high losses and then I could make a counterattack towards his fortifications. France was level 50 with a 0.90 kdr so I was not so worried about losing the war. In the end I decided with a hybrid strategy that involved pelting his units with artillery while Italy would attack from the south and I would attack from the north. Oh yeah I forgot to mention France made a coalition in response to seeing my and italy working together called the 'resistance pact'. USA joined who was level 49 but I did not think he was a threat at this point.

Day 2: I moved my attacking army in belgium straight to paris to confuse him and try to draw out his units. I found most of his air force sitting in the city and i attacked their planes with my planes before they could get in the air. I made a big push deep into france gaining lots of territory and reaching all the way to spain border. The artillery attacks were slow, and I had to pull back a few artillery divisions (since they were also getting attacked by french artillery). However, France could not let his units sit there while their hp slowly went down. He removed his units from the fortifications and retreated them. That was his first big mistake as I was able to rush his defenses. Italy attacked its border with france by rushing the fortifications and suffering huge losses. i was like wtf italy you have to go around. Then a possible turning point for France occured. Spain joined his coalition and began moving units into france to help defend. Spain was level 90 with 4.0 kdr so I was scared of him. I was also basically 1v2ing them since Italy was being useless. Overnight I lost a lot of territory resetting me to where I was in the morning (basically paris and a few provinces behind it). I had overextended a lot since I did not expect Spain to get involved. I tried to see if France was willing to surrender already but he replied "no surrender".

Day 3: Bringing reinforcments through the collapsed maginot line, I made another push this time towards the southern part of france. Within 24 hours I had most of France occupied and a strong line of reinforcments coming. Spain was moving his units around capturing undefended land and I was chasing his units trying to regain the land. Eventually Spain brought his units back towards core spain (I think to regroup but im not sure why exactly). I captured almost all of france and began invading Spains south coast. Unfortunatley, I lost quite a bit of territory due to uprisings. I also found US transports heading towards occupied france but luckily I had subs in those spots to sink them. I began a new tactic to try to demoralize the resistance pact with propaganda. I came up with 6 articles aimed to deplete their morale and get them to quit. #1: Resistance Pact couldn't defend france. #2: Spain cares more about his own land than his ally. #3 USA is terrible strategist, his movements have resulted in high casualties for nothing. #4 usa doesnt care about its units. #5 france defense plan and maginot line failed terribly. #6 resistance pact isnt even a resistance. These propaganda articles focused on high casualties and how my army was way more powerful than it actually was. I also lied that I knew where all their armies were and they were inflitrated with spies (which was partially true except the spies werent doing much). It worked way better than I had planned. Spain basically started spamming that I was using gold which he didnt have (i never used gold) and France surrendered. Spain quit and I planned to take his land. I let France chill in africa with a limited army cap and told him we can eventually be allies maybe. USSR and Italy im pretty sure were both afk as well as uk. Day 3 was a huge success and gave me access to roll through southern europe with little resistance.

i suggestt you sub spam in the english channel and mediterranean, you make island airbaseschoc a bloc withinterceptors to destroy spanish airforce and also to aid ur army to land in egypt, i think he is communicating tto his coalition mates and is stating that he will occupy south africa, i think uk will fight you, since by connecting the dots, uk is an ally of spain

there are destroyers in the channel though

that dosaent matter, make the subs to make sure he cant make battleships, you start with a decent level navy right?

also i forgot, naval bombers at paris, build tthem

2 Feb 2021, 07:37

Here is what i would do:

Look for allies if possible

shift focus from AI to Spain, AI is never a serious threat

focus on Rocket Fighters and Naval Bombers. RFs will destroy enemy Air force.

Level up industry and building fast.

Remove 2 spies from spain and set 5 on Intel 5 on sabatoge

Spam Naval Death Stacks- 3 subs 2 destroyers 1 cruiser

Pretend you really are a golder

get resources from USA

stop all/most construction and production in the east, focus on cores. Paris, Belguim and Amsterdam as well as Hmaburg should supply navy

Go for Norway if possible.

get some AA units in case of invasion.

Build a Home Guard, a force you will never use unless your empire is in SERIOUS threat: HG should consisit of 2 Heavy Tanks, 5 fighters, 15 Militia, 15 Anti Tank, 10 AA, 1 Med Tank, 10-20 artillery, 1 Railgun, 2 commandos. (That group is tested by me before, i defended against a 500 units player)

Send LT convoys to the far North seas, far east and far west of UK, it will take days, but if UK attacks you can use them for unexpected assaults.

Thats pretty much it

Should these be all in one stack in the middle of my territory or spread out?

I have access to norway bc I have share map with Sweden, should i garrison some units there?

The 'home guard' shouldn't be put as one stack. Preferrably have it spread throughout your cities by importance and maybe some strategically located rural provinces. remember that stacks above 10 deal less damage (but still work well)

And yea for attacking through sweden. Just make sure that sweden doesn't go for it first.

Day 6: I spent most of today fighting off the AI who declared war on me and producing units to defend a UK invasion.

Remaining active players: Brazil, USA, France, Spain, Mongolia, India, Australia, Sweden.

Construction & Production: I built an aircraft factory in Paris an Atlantic Wall of level 1 fortifications along the French coast in anticipation of the UK´s invasion. I made 8 Naval Bombers, 20 Militia, and 4 Anti-Air which most went to the fortifications. I continued producing medium tanks and motorized infantry so I can make more offensive doomstacks.

Diplomacy: I allied with Mongolia and Australia. Mongolia is going for AI Soviet Union and will be helpful since I feel like AI Soviet Union will declare war on me soon. Australia has been turtling the whole game and I wanted to have good diplomatic relations with him. I sent a trade to Spain for peace-peace, I still plan on attacking him but he will not expect it as much now. Hungary and Italy declared war.

Research: I researched rockets and rocket fighters, I haven´t invested much into the secret tab much this game.

Espionage: Did not find much relevant info that I did not know already.

Hungary: Hungary declared war but got eaten up by the end of the day.

Italy: Italy declared war and I had to withdraw one of my armies I was planning on using in Egypt to help fight against Italy. I have sandwiched Italy from the North and South tip and it´s only a matter of time before Italy falls.

Romania: Romania is almost gone. There are 2 cities left, but they have big armies so I´m going to let my Railroad Gun destroy them first so there are low casualties.

Spain: Spain claims he is moving to take South Africa. I plan to attack tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

UK: I´m starting to believe that the UK may not try invading me since he is not producing any units and doesn´t seem to be doing anything. Still, I want to have a defense just in case. UK is the only person Spain has share map with so it is likely that he was discussing invading me with UK.

France: Sweden reports that France has not been doing anything recently, although he is still active.

Brilliant description of day 6... keep using that format.

Before you invade Spain tell me exactly what your positions are. and remember to keep producing that Home Gaurd. After taking Italy you will be able to dominate the Mediterranian, so withdraw all units from Africa. ask Sweden to prepare for attack/defence against UK.

patrol fighters over Spain.

Now, im an expert on defence, this should be what the Atlantic Wall looks like:

Lvl 2-3 forts all along the French coast from Brest to Denmark.

Rail gun in all of those

Rocket fighters patrolling all the fortified provinces.

lvl forts scattered around france to maintain morale and defense

some infra behind frontline

2-5 militia for every fortified province- The units im telling you to place on the Wall are EXCLUDED from Home Guard, your HG will ONLY be used when your empire is in GRAVE danger

artillery scattered around (In the scattered forts of course)

etc. (Idk ur exact position)

3 Feb 2021, 07:05

i suggest you rename ur home guard to imperial guards to please empire

is all of this necessary bc if i do this it will be extremely expensive we're talking 18 railroad guns plus extra garrison units

3 Feb 2021, 23:52

Yes it is necassary if you want 100% garantee of successful defence aginst UK. u can snip some units but the chance will go down. Also i think u can take Spain with 4 Grand Empire doomstacks
