Hopefully you are continuing this AAR now I'm writing this post now 'cause I'd like to get some advice for my current Australian game not to make the mistakes you did.

lol,
So, you want to avoid the mistakes that I made eh?
Hehe, I will try to salvage the situation in my game (for your sake,) but dont expect an update until after (not knowing where any of you live) 5:00 pm on friday...
I have run through my save "hands off" and I am pretty sure that it is still playable, and from what I have seen, If it plays out like it did in the test run, it should prove to be interesting...

I just found this AAR. Good work, I like it.
Now stop concentrating on school and get back to entertaining me!
I also rather like the foreshadowing bits.....

Hmm, I wonder why the view count jumps whenever I post....
But anyway, Ive got some good news, As you know today is the 20th and my x-mas vacation starts when school ends....
But my school has decided to make some sort of assembly after lunch, which is optional AND they cut each class to only 45 mins AND they decided to make it optional.
So in short, that meens that I get off of school after my fourth class, where I am that is 12:00 (this is with the 45 min classes)
So you can expect an update alittle earlyer, Im guessing 3:00.

"Iwo Jima"
June 2 1944,
"Incoming!" The pilot screamed as a flack shell exploded beside the cockpit, shattering the glass. The giant transport aircraft swayed from side to side as the Pilot, who was now bleeding madly, attempted to evade the fire which was shooting up from the jungle below. Norman was about to yell at the pilot to get him to eject but he was cut short when machinegun fire traced it's way across the cockpit window and, in turn, tore the pilot's skull in half. Cursing, Norman grabbed the parachute which was hanging to the right of the hatch. Opening the hatch, Norman took a deep breath and Leaped out...
March 4 1940,
The japs launched an undermaned counter-attack in the pacific, but since they were busy holding back the now successful Chinise assault, they were ill equiped and lacking supplies. They landed on Sorong and attempted to move further inland but the garrison stationed there managed to hold them off and box them in at their beach-head. During the past months several devisions were sent out to capture and secure all of the Jap holdings, some were beaten back but most made it through. The strategicly important Bonin islands were also captured and bombing of Japan it self was commenced immediatly.
August 16 1940,
Today Romania declaired war on Germany and subsequently joined the allies. Although it is a noble cause, they would have helped us more by staying nutral. The only thing that will come of this is more oil for the Axis... But to our surprise the Amaricans decided that they couldent avoid the war any longer, they said that Romania's show of bravery changed the people's mind. They were completely surrounded and alone, yet they decided that they would go down fighting. Time will tell....
May 16 1941,
Not a single person would have predicted or even dared to think about it but somehow, the Romanians survived the assault and unleashed the fury of their peoples. Now Romania holds almost all of what used to be poland, slovakia, yogoslavia and part of Italy.... The Germans underestimated their sprit and valor, now they were paying for their ignorance. Japan completely crushed the Chinise attack and now were slowly gaining ground. Now the Chinise were fighting a defencive battle, and were grudgingly calling for help... And in Russia, something convinced Stalin to declare war on the Axis. Their assault completely broke through the Jap lines and they annexed Manicinko(sp?) in less than a week. On our front things have been going well, we have crushed all Jap resistance in the pacific and now all they have is Japan and the lands that they have stollen from the Chinise. The Amaricans launched their first assault in the pacific, they attacked with over 13 divisions. The assualt lasted fourteen days, when they captured Minimitorishima only 3 divisions were shipped off of the island. Was it really worth the sacrifice?
May 17 1941,
I knew it wouldent hold out, today Germany launched a devistating counter-attack against the Romainians and broke their lines. Many of their forces have surrendered and most are without supplies. At 13:32 today, Bulgaria captured the Romainian capital, it will only be a matter of time before they are annexed. With their armies broken and their cities bomed to the ground, Romanian survival depends completlely on weather or not the Russians decide to launch an attack of their own. Finally, at 00:00 today the first Amarican forces landed in Messina. The Italians have scrambled their troops but It looks as if their days are numbered. But as always, time will tell.....

"Turning Point"
June 4 1944,
Norman was breathing slowly as he scanned the jungle with his binoculars. A light fog rose from earth, creating ghost-like figures which danced between the trees. He calmly scearched for the Jap fortifications, the report that he had recieved from the Colonel Lloyd suggested that they had dug themselves in really well and had created trenches and bunkers like had been counstructed in the Great War. All the airstrikes were ineffective due to the dence folliage so Norman was forced to do things the old fashoned way. While centering his binoculars on a bunker which had been covered with leaves, Norman radioed the Japs approximate positions to Lloyd and cringed when he heard the whistle echo throughout the dead silent jungle. The first wave of men sprinted from their positions and, as if on cue, hundreds of rifles and machine guns roared to life. One word echoed throughout Norman's mind: Gallipoli...
July 5 1941,
In the past few months several key battles were won over the Japs in the Pacific and in Italy the Amaricans have taken Rome and are pushing foreward. The Russian offencive has pushed all the way to Korea, but they have decided to move around it, due to the fact that the Japs have several elite Mountain divisions stationed there. Blamey was, once again, put in command of a new assault force which consisted of newly developed amphibious tanks and a unit of amphibious assault troops, but they had been nick-named the "Farie Frogs". And finally the well renown Light Horse cavallrly unit. The plan was to land at the lightly defended Kowloon and keep a beach-head open for the regular troops to move in. Finally, Admeral Royle lead our navy to a crushing victory in the Fukuoka sea. His fleet engaged the entire remaining Jap fleet at 6:00 am June 7 and even though outnumberd, Rolyle managed to sink the last two Jap battleships and one of their carriers, not to mention several smaller vessals.
On June 10 Germany launched a very successful assault on Norway and Denmark, the latter surrendered only two days into the assault. The Russians have yet to attack the Germans directly, Instead of moving on German postitions they have spent their time fighting Finland, Latvia and Lithuania (The Japs also). Romania is crushed, only a few pockets of surrounded men remain, a valiant effort on their part. They will be remembered by history...
July 10 1941,
The campaign to liberate China (nicknamed "Swollen Ostrich") was launched at 2:00 am totay, the Farie Frogs smashed through the infantry division there and quickly moved inland to enlarge the landing zone before the Japs could divert units to our positions. Two days later the first shipment of troops landed at Kowloon. The Farie Frogs, under Blamey, were sent to take Shanghai while the army advanced to key positions along the Yangtse river. Four days later the Japs counter-attacked, but not where we expected. They launched an amphibous assault against Kowloon! At the time the Light Horse were holding position there and were forced to fight them off alone. Another shipment of men was sent from Australia awhile earlier and their destination was Kowloon, command tried to get word to them to land at a different position but the message never got through (ooc: actually, I forgot about them...). So they ended up making an amphibious assault against the Japs who were in the process of completing an amphibious assault of their own...
January 15 1942,
At the moment, our lines are stable, but only a week a go I concidered calling the whole thing off. About a month into the invasion the japs attacked with a massive force of infantry and armor. They were green troops, straight out of training but they had brillient commanders and were equiped with state-of-the-art weapons and vehicles. Several divisions were lost but in the end Blamey and the Farie Frogs managed to defend Zhengzhou against the Imperial forces and with that defeat they halted their assault. The Russians made a fatal mistake; when they avoided Korea they sent the bulk of their forces to advance farther into China and only left a small garrision to defend against the Japs there. It came as no surprise (well atleast to us) when a counter-attack was launched by the Mountain Divisions along with some armored and mechinised units. They routed the Russians holding there and proceeded to cut off the rest of the army. Now the whole aisan detachment of the Russian forces is cut-off, without supplies or reinforcements. In Europe, the situation has not changed much. The amaricans have captured Italy but when they attempted to advance into Austria they were shattered by the "God-Like" German forces. Its a shame, the americans outnumber them by quite a margin, yet they fail to advance an inch. High command were discussing the possibility of sending a force to Europe the other day, I really hope they dont think that we can spare the men, China has become a "Meat Grinder". If men are diverted from the front...

Errm, where should i begin...
Well, to start IT WAS NOT INTENTIONAL!
For x-mas I got a new vid card and motherboard to boot (among the many other items ) And well, some problems were encountered after the instilation in some games and drivers so I decided to reformat my HD since the last time was in early July...
After everything was done and running fine I realized something, I had forgotten to backup my Australia save .....
so, errm, I guess this meens that you wont be hearing from Norman... I suggest you use the 1944 section in the first post as a reason... Im sorry but it just never crossed my mind, I also lost all of my mods and saves for all of my games, so dont think that I gave HOI special attention . But what can ya do? If you want me to do another aar then please post here and state the country/ time/ any themes you want ( an allied Italy for example)
Sorry again and thanks to everyone who posted and encouraged me!

Shame about the backups. Nice style and doughty Australians, who could ask for more? If you're up for a rematch I wouldn't mind another AustraliAAR. Interesting about the Japanese cutting off the Soviets -- nice to see the AI being enterprising.
Did you try Bolted 1.02a? I find it gives good results.
SilentLawyer = Say little, charge much

Well, I would do another Australian AAR... If I hadn't done one already. So, errm, I guess the point is made . Anyway thanks for the suggestion!

Bad luck, was just looking for your AAR to get some new ideas, (Is there a way that the AI-Leader [UK] shares their technics?) when I read this.
Finally your AAR forced and inspired me to write my own AAR in my mother tongue (German). Your AAR was written very nice.
G'day

There is no way currently to get the AI to share techs, hopefully that feature will be included in the next patch. you say that your mother tongue is German but you live in Austria, im not 100% sure but I dont think that German is the national language (but I dont really know of any other language that they would speak ) Anyway, to make a long story short, are you German?

I'm living in Austria. The Germans and our people share the same tongue.
