ACT II
SCENE I. Office of TASSO MIRANDA CABRAL.
(It is now February, 1940)
Enter CABRAL, SALAZAR.
SALAZAR: I trust everything is going according to schedule?
CABRAL: Yes Prime Minister, for the most part.
SALAZAR: Hmmm?
CABRAL: Equipping new military divisions is taking longer than expected. The two Tank Divisions are proving especially troublesome. Our engineers are still having some difficulties producing the new Mark I-IV tanks. We may not be ready until next year.
SALAZAR: Next year! I'm sure Carmona will be thrilled to hear that...
CABRAL: On the upside Sir, we already have four Divisions of Infantry and two of Cavalry already stationed in Uruguay. Major General Rolao Preto is formulating plans for attack as we speak.
SALAZAR: It's not like he has to hurry.
CABRAL: I'm still amazed that you talked Uruguay into giving us access.
SALAZAR: How can anyone resist my wit and charm? Well, I'm off to tell Carmona the "good news".
Exit SALAZAR.
Question:
Now that I have units overseas, do I need to do something in order to keep them in supply? Link convoys to their positions or anything?
Now that I have units overseas, do I need to do something in order to keep them in supply? Link convoys to their positions or anything?
The units take supplies from the country they are in. In this case, they take supplies (and oil, if used) from Uruguay. However, I would send them supplies anyway, just to ensure that they can be supported.
The setting...
The Forces of Portugal
ACT II
SCENE II. The office of GENERAL ANTONIO CARMONA
Enter CARMONA, CABRAL
CARMONA: It's now or never, we can't put this off any longer.
CABRAL: I understand Sir.
CARMONA: I only hope we've done enough. We just don't have time. Our economy is in rough shape, and we're quickly exhausting out stockpile of supplies.
CABRAL: Have faith in your Generals, Sir. We've trained them for this the best we could.
CARMONA: Very well. Give the order to attack.
CABRAL: Yes Sir! For the glory of Portugal!
Do you have any Field Marshal? If you don't, well... then promote Silva Bastos to FM. You should always have a FM next to (or in) a battle, when it's possible. It improves the efficiency of your troops!
And... do you have more leaders, regardless of rank? If you do, then split your forces into more stacks and assign leaders to each one, to maximize your efficiency. Since you have only a few divisions it's no pain to do it, micromanagement-wise.

Select the stack where the leader is, click on his icon, then look at a button called "Promote"... enough? 
This battle started late February. After I moved into Porto Alegre untouched, I began building defenses and sat, hoping they would come to me. They did, of course. Had me outnumbered by over 200 Strength. The battle took so long, my construction of fortifications finished towards the end...
ACT II
SCENE III. Somewhere in the hills, near Porto Alegre.
(It is now March 25, 1942)
Enter PEDRO, PASCAL. (Two random Portugese Soldiers)
PEDRO: You alright?
PASCAL: Bullet hole in one of my canteens, that's about it.
PEDRO: The one full of booze?
PASCAL: Of course.
PEDRO: Figures.
PASCAL: Yeah.
PEDRO: Can't complain though eh? It took us what, a little over a month to fight off the Brazilians? We're lucky to be alive.
PASCAL: I'm just glad you stopped crying.
PEDRO: Hey! That was terrifying, we were outnumbered...
PASCAL: Sooooo pathetic.
PEDRO: If you tell anyone I'll kill you!
PASCAL: Drown me in tears?
PEDRO: Let's talk about something else already. I'm glad Major General Coimbra got promoted to Field Marshal.
PASCAL: He's really earned it.
PEDRO: I wonder what's in store for us now?
PASCAL: Beats me.
PEDRO: Yeah.
Exit PEDRO, PASCAL.
Ha!

Since you're clearly a beginner in HoI, I want to give you a suggestion... Look at The Manual Project (T.M.P.), which is a HoI manual made by some forum members! You can find it here: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=119419
It is a very nice source of basic infos and tips! And yes, continue writing! Reclaim Brazil!
Also, do not be affraid of asking gameplay questions... but do it in the HoI forum, not in the AAR one, right?

Well, that's pretty much it for this game. I held them off for three waves, but they got me on the fourth try. It was my first game ever, and I learned at least a little about how to play. I'll get some practice and start another AAR soon.
Hopefully it'll be better than this one.

The only way to improve both your writing and playing skills is... with practise!
For gameplay help, you can seek it in the HoI forum. For tips regarding writing, there are many threads here in the AAR and Fanfiction forum, such as The SolAARium, that are very helpful. And never be shy to ask something, ok?

Well, it was short, but good fun. Hopefully you'll have another project at some point.
I hate sad endings.
*Sniff* Some one should have come to save them...or at least they should have escaped or... *sobs uncontrollably*

Hey chum, great job! really a pleasure to read, I´m only sorry it was so short... next time, you should start with an easier target, like Uruguai itself... Ah well, you played pretty well for your first AAR, great job!
And please start a new one soon
