78 Sturm division is forced to retreat to Krezmeniec.
 
Before the invasion of Russia the allies invaded southern France in Army group strength. The result was a long battle that put Barbarossa off for a year but I eventualy won due to Fredendalls tactical incompetence and the fact I eventually gained air superiority at high cost to my self. The carrier fleets sailed around the British isles sinking many more ships than they lost. It was an impressive effort for the Ai and if not for me calling in Italy and Japan to the war it my have woked for them.

Yes the Italians bailed out the Germans in this game. Feel free to laugh at me.
 
from time to time the AI does thing like that: making Italy playing as a good Ally and leaveing the Human player embarrased

While the southern front heats up again. The wisdom of brigading up our divisions has shown itself in spades. And I am building 3000 man corp level Tiger Brigades to be paired with heavy td brigades.

So you are building brigades and then pair them up to become divisions later on? Did you make any spreadsheets to see if this benefits your IC/day ratio?
 
I mean that i have been giving each 3 x inf division a inf scout battalion, a artillery brigade, a engineer brigade and a stug brigade if i can afford it. This only goes for starting inf divisions as new ones are built complete.
The Panzer divisions are given via event and have also been given Flak, Mot inf, TD, and Stug brigades.

The Tigers and Heavy TDs are paired together and form a Corp level Asset.
 
This update will show our production and the kills of some of our ships.


Graf Zeppelin is bases in Nationalist spain which has joined the axis an allied non belligerent. Which is exactly where i want them.



While the Peter Strasser and the official deliveryman to davy jones locker THE BISMARCK has sunk 5 enemy Battleships and damaged many more. HMS Hood was sunk a month into the war by the Gneisenau as well.





We come to the real meat of this update the production que. I am building various armor, TD, and Stug brigades. Also type 21 subs to win the atlanti convoy battles once and for all with the help of the surface fleet.
 
which will be the template of a PzDiv (1943) after yuo build all those extra brigades?
 
In short there is none they are just kind of given out to my event given panzerdivs randomly. It just feels like something the GROFAZ would have done so I am roleplaying a bit here. Also only 2 divisions are panther equipped (the SS div "Wiking" and the Fallschrim PZ Div HG) The rest have to make do with various PZ III models and even some pz 38t models as well.
 


We encircle 2 soviet divisions in Shodorow. They have no chance of escape.



While Luck is the scene of many battles.



4. Panzerdivision is sent to Zlocsow to block the last line of retreat for the encircled soviet troops.



Who surrender soon after.



Our first jet prototypes are ready for production the Heinkel 280. This decision activates the jet fighter unit for construction and i immediately order some.
 
great! btw, all the PzDivs are available via event? or can I build them?
 
Ok at the beginning of the game in 1936 there is an event that allows one to chose whether you can build your own Pz divs to make things more fun I chose not to. And yes all pz divs are event driven but have a stiff supply cost. Same thing for Waffen SS units as well. But this did allow me to build up a very powerful Luftwaffe and expand the Kreigsmarine pretty much from nothing. It did take a while to get everything ready though and the allied invasion of southern France did not help.

Edit pz gren division can be built in addition to the event ones however which I am currently doing.
 
Update Time



We begin an offensive in the North of the Line. Code named fall Hindenburg since this war is very much like the war he fought in the east.



It seems to be going well so far.



We also begin to march to Minsk.



Now i start to run out of supplies but i am still clawing forward.



Another day another another encirclement.



Jet Fighters are our number priority right now.
