Germany- 1939 Historic World War - Day by Day Report
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.

ah. He might just not have noticed it. He is ripe for invasion if this is the case. If you notice, their forces have three lines, one on the channel, one in northern england, and one in scotland. I'd advise invading between lines 1&2 and attacking Scotland. Some bombers and ships in the channel would work a dream if he counterattacked. Spain may be knocked out but they haven't quit which shows they might be a dangerous foe. Check to see if the UK's stacks have AA as this could be a great way to see if they are prime target for bombers. Also, his navy seems tiny for the UK so far in the game.

Ohhhhh you have mainland Spain! I didnt realise that. ALSO STOP USING ADVANCED GRAPHICS I CANT STAND THEM. anyhow, Whowh is righ. go for UK but have a defence ready just in case. I didnt know he was share map... explain beter

Day 7: Spent the day regrouping armies and producing more troops.
Remaining active players: Brazil, USA, France, Spain, Mongolia, India, Australia, Sweden, Turkey
Construction & Production: Built 3 level 3 Secret Labs in France where I started producing 3 Railroad Guns. Set up lvl 2 fortifications from Brest to Den Helder. Started construction of fortifications along USSR border.
Diplomacy: Nothing new. I am currently good allies with Brazil and Sweden and meh allies with the USA, Mongolia, Australia, UK, and Turkey.
Research: I am currently researching lvl 4 Med tanks and lvl 1 Paratroopers.
Espionage: Spain has lots of oil and rares but is very low on iron.
Lithuania: Lithuania declared war but I was already planning on invading so I am currently moving my troops through.
Italy: Core Italy has been conquered.
Romania: Romania has been conquered.
Bulgaria: Turkey was going for Bulgaria but I don't want him to have a secure foothold in Europe so I took Bulgaria before he could.
USSR: I realize USSR could declare war on me and I have almost no defense on that border. He has already trade embargoed me and I see troops on the border. I started building up fortifications and I will try to get some units onto the front as soon as I can.
Spain: Did not make any progress towards Spain as I do not believe I have a strong enough army to attack yet.
UK: the UK is full of Medium Tanks. The southern provinces are guarded with Infantry, med tanks, anti-air, and artillery. Those that don't have anti-air are guarded by cruisers. I do not believe attacking by air is smart. However, I can try to deploy paratroopers before declaring war, and that way I can capture some land and funnel my troops in. His units are put in 3 layers, if I penetrate the first layer I can get most of the land behind it.
Turkey: Turkey came back to the game and is going for Bolivia and Greece.
Mongolia: Mongolia is taking huge chunks of land from USSR, but the casualties are about even. He has currently split the Soviet Union in half and expanded in both directions.
Sweden: Sweden has not been doing anything lately after defeating Norway. He's probably building up his army to take Finland.
Brazil: Brazil is trying to take out South America and reach central America.
India: India has expanded west after taking Tibet and has reached all the way to Turkey.
Australia: Don't know much about Australia but I think he is building up a massive army.

Dont forget Tank Destroyers.
Also you mean Bulgaria not Bolivia

Day 7: Spent the day regrouping armies and producing more troops.
Remaining active players: Brazil, USA, France, Spain, Mongolia, India, Australia, Sweden, Turkey
Construction & Production: I made paratroopers, med tanks, militia, tank destroyers, and TDs. Most of these ended up being sent to USSR instead of UK.
Diplomacy: Closer allies with USA and Mongolia. Other than that not much happened.
Research: lvl 2 paratroopers, level 2 naval bomber, lvl 2 mech infantry.
Espionage: Nothing on Spain, USSR is low on food and iron.
USSR: USSR declared war. This will be a very long war. I have built level 1 fortifications along the border with a few level 2s. I have started moving militia and various ordnance into these fortifications. So far, not much progress has been made on either side. Mostly just land trades and USSR rushing stacks of 2 or 3 out to my fortifications. USSR has been building up the whole game but is low on iron and food. His center of attack seems to be around Kiev, but there is also a large army gathered near Odesa.
Estonia: Estonia declared war. I will lose a bit of land but an army will arrive soon to push Estonia out.
Spain: France finally gave me share map for right of way. I know he is no longer working with Spain so I moved my 2 armies there into French Italy where I can attack Spain. Spain seems to be active at 6-7 PM and 7-10 AM in my time zone so I plan to attack tomorrow between those times.
UK: Preparing an invasion soon if UK doesn't attack first. See below for plans
Turkey: I am letting Turkey have Greece since I had to move my army there to the Soviet border. He is at war with UK.
Mongolia: Mongolia got bigger now, he is almost the size of Europe but with less urbans.
Sweden: Sweden might be AFK; I don't see him doing anything.
Brazil: I am unimpressed with Brazil's progress for a level 100 player. He has not reached Panama yet and has not done anything about the countries surrounding him. If he makes the AI mad and they all war him, he is dead.
Operation Sealion: (That's what ww2 germany called their plan for invading UK so I am stealing it) As you can see in the image below, I have 6 offensive armies and 1 garrison army which will attack provinces along the coast. Paratroopers will drop in before I declare war so I can capture undefended provinces and deploy troops directly into Great Britain. Rockets will fire at airfields to try to gain air superiority. At the same time that the paratroopers drop, I will have to deal with the channel Navy. It is important that I am victorious otherwise my convoys will be picked off. My goal is to penetrate the frontline defenses and rush the Manchester line (see cyan line on map). Capturing these key cities will cause panic within UK. My USA ally (kinda a noob) will rush his troops in Ireland to destroy the third defense line (northern Britain). UK has lots of Anti-air in the frontline defense, but nothing in the back. I have moved my air force division stationed in france to airfields in Ireland where I will be able to attack english middle line armies without having to fly over the anti-air.
