C&C of British Armed Forces archived reports: 1st Nov 1939- 1st May 1939
Overview November 1st
With the splitting of NA command into two groups, RA James is given command over one of the task forces. The 2nd transport squadron (5 transport flotillas) is ordered to sail to Dover. In the West Celtic shelf, there was another costly attack. It is decided to dispatch the modern light cruisers and destroyers of Humber Force under RA Bruce-Fraser to crush the U-boat threat there.
Overview November 2nd
Convoys in West Celtic Shelf take an even bigger hit at 5:00. Then at 17:00, they take an even bigger one, meaning three huge strikes in less than two days. The situation is getting out of control, it is ridiculous! Soon, we may lose the ability to supply Hong-Kong, and that will be a disaster.
Fortunately, RA Burnett once again finds enemy U-boats, this time under RA Sobe. Sobe is a good leader, and for a while it seems the flotilla may escape as they score minor hits on HMS Columbo and its escort flotilla, but ultimately his U-boats are sunk.
Overview November 5th
At midnight, intel reports that they managed to retreive carelessly dumped files by the Japanese government. This stroke of luck reveals that the Japanese had received detailed defense plans of Singapore from Germany. This is both good and bad news. Bad because it seems that there are still intelligence leaks happening, and good because this shows Japans unwillingess to enter the war on Germanys side.
(Closing in on the German U-boat menace)
Overview November 7th
RA Burnett ships are back in Gibraltar for repairs
Overview November 8th
After the fall of Poland, our relations with Yugoslavia and Greece have been taking a downwards turn, but another diplomatic mission acheived excellent results today. (OCC:Complete influence Yugoslavia, barely influence Greece)
Overview November 9th
Burnett is sent back out to war. In Britain, factories are geared for Escort Fighter production
Overview November 10th
Middle East and West Command are redeployed to Libyan Border. Italy is getting increasingly dangerous.
On the Atlantic Ocean, today was a disaster. In two hours, convoys suffer bigger losses than they suffered in two weeks in other parts of the war. The cost is getting higher, and German subs seem to always be one step ahead.
Overview November 12th
Convoys suffer greatly on what till today was a safe route in the mid-atlantic. The Germans are spreading the radius of their attack, and we are losing enormous amounts of shipping. The America and West Indies station is dispatched to beat out U-boats in the mid-atlantic. Still, there seems no hope of a near victory in the Battle of the Atlantic.
Situation in Atlantic getting out of control
Overview November 15th
Soviet Union declares war on Finland. Lithuania seems to have managed to retain its independence. Still, the Soviet Union is going to have a feast until we can beat the Nazis.
Overview November 16th
Sweden begins sending volunteers and materials to Finland.
Overview November 20th
Hugh Dowding has developed the doctrine of Battlefield Interdiction. Funds previously allocated to him now go to the development of an improved Escort Fighter.
Overview November 22nd
A new infantry division is formed in London. Factories now begin producing more convoys.
Overview November 24th
Spitfire development complete. However, production is focused on shipping at the moment, no Spitfires are being produced.
Overview November 25th
Recon notices military build up in Northern Germany along Dutch border. High command takes this as evidence that Germany is going to replay the Schleiffen plan, including Holland.
November 26th
Intelligence notices that partisans have taken control of the island of Bornholm. Intel also reports why the Soviets were grumbling. They only received about half the land from Poland they asked for!
(Red line indicates land owed to Soviet Union by Germany)
November 27th
RA Fraser encounters RA Wolfs wolfpack in the Canary approaches, but fights an inconclusive battle.

Overview December 1st
Continued great diplomatic success in Greece and Yugoslavia. (Both completely influenced)
Overview December 4th
15:00: RA Assman gets his revenge on RA Burnett. HMS Colombo is heavily damaged and the 25th DD flotilla is wiped out by two German wolfpacks. The 3rd destroyer flotilla is sent from the Home fleet to reinforce. The Empire is running out of destroyers, there simply aren't enough to protect the blockade and attack the U-boats in the Atlantic.
Overview December 6th
At 1:00, VA von Nordech desperately attempts a break out from Kiel with seven ships and flotillas. Outnumbered four to one, he is forced back to port by 6:00. No losses on either side.
Importantly though, it is revealed that the U-boats inside Kiel aren't Donitz's! Donitz'z U-boats must have escaped after all at the start of the war. This explains the huge attacks on our convoys recently.
(OCC: note, I haven't reported the vast majority of attacks on convoys, but they are numerous and causing great damage. The situation is really out of my control)
Overview December 9th
Out of formality, Japan declares war on Sinkiang.
At 7:00 RA Assman attempted to smash RA James force. If he had succeeded, the Battle of the Atlantic would be unwinnable for a year, but he failed as his wolfpacks are wiped out. Thank God. It is not a victory without cost however, HMS Capetown has taken damage that will take months to repair.
Overview December 12th
With the war going well for them, the Finnish people elect a Social conservative government.
Overview December 19th
11:00 Biggest single attack yet made by German U-boats at North Cape Verde Approach. A&WI Station has to move from mid-Atlantic to protect convoys there.
Overview December 22nd
The war seems like it is going to be a strictly European affair. With Japan seemingly opting out of intervention, today the US announced that it too had no interest in joining the Allies. It has not begun mobilisation in earnest, though it is now the 11th strongest land power, where as few months ago it was the 19th.
Overview Boxing Day
An even bigger attack than the one five days ago is made on convoys in North Cape Verde. Many essential convoys are no longer getting through in large enough numbers to be of much use. It is time to reform the convoy routes.
Overview January 4th
Yet another huge attack, as the Accra-Plymouth convoy loses 25% of its vessels. Worst of all, it is guessed that Hong-Kong will lose any supplies being convoyed in withing a week. We will need to win the Battle of the Atlantic within the next few months if the people there are to avoid starvation. With more inconclusive fights like the one between RA Fraser and RA Wolfe today, we will fail.
(A grim image of the future if the wolfpacks are not stopped, Japanese troops in Hong Kong)
Overview January 6th
Production Planning has been developed by the English Electric company. They are asked to continue research, this time with experimentations in assembly lines.
Overview January 11th
New Crusader Tanks are delivered to Alexandria. Upgrading of all units is now nearing completion, so production can be focused on instead.
Also inAfrica, militia divisions were moved to Khartoum and Marsabit, as Intel reports about ten Italian divisions in Massaua. More men are needed if we are to stop an Italian attack here.
Overview January 13th
More convoys are being rolled off the production lines. This is a saving grace, but not enough to help Hong-Kong. They will have to rely on supplies they have stockpiled for now.
Overview January 15th
There has been a strange lull in the attacks on convoys recently. It is suspected that Donitz's wolfpacks are on the move.
Overview January 18th
Improved destroyers have been researched, and straight away twelve new flotillas are put into production for completion by May 27th. Aswell as this, four new infantry divisions and four more convoy groups are started to be constructed.
Overview January 19th
U-boat attacks are picking up pace again, another big attack in the South Iberian Shelf. This must be where Donitz is.
Overview January 22nd
Donitz's U-boats are finally caught. RA Burnett, with a now re-unified NA command engages him at 11:00. It is a close battle, Donitz loses one of his four Wolfpacks, but manages to torpedo Great war light cruiser HMS Capetown. Allready barely surviving on damage inflicted from earlier battles, it is sailed back to Gibraltar then disassembled. The end of a great fighting ship for the British Empire, and the beginning of the end of the terror of Donitz's U-boats.
Overview January 25th
Soviet troops reported in Oulu. Finnish war effort appears to be crumbling.
(Blue line indicates border before Soviet offensive)
Overview January 27th
New Hurricane fighter group deployed in Plymouth. With this, the Spitfire is finally put into production.
Overview February 1st
A chilling report was received by the RAF today. The air situation is dire. North Germany is awash with Luftwaffe aircraft, overall the Germans have a slight advantage in number of aircraft. The worst part is however, with the possibility of Italian or Spanish entry into the war, the enemy will gain a huge numerical superiority in Aircraft. Italian and Spanish air strength combined is more than even the Luftwaffe. Simply put, If Italy and/or Spain enters this war soon, then it is lost.
Production is already strained with the need for many more aircraft, ground forces, destroyers, radar and convoys, and we cannot support all of these projects in full. Radar is not even be developed. Though the tide in the battle of the Atlantic seems to be changing, the war effort is still in a bad state.

Hang in there, Blodwen! Britain must never submit to her enemies. I'm sure something will happen to eventually turn the war around.
Overview February 7th
At 21:00, RA Bruce-Fraser engaged Dontiz's wolfpacks in the North Iberian Shelf. His modern ships left Donitz with a single wolfpack, though one destroyer flotilla suffered heavy damage.
Overview February 14th
Save for the Hong-Kong garrison which is out of supply, all troops are now fully upgraded.
Overview February 17th
Improved Computing machine is finally developed. Hopefully this can help stop the Intel leaks. Work into Improved Decryption Devices also begins.
Overview February 18th
Donit'z last wolfpack is sunk. With only two other wolf packs in the entire of the Atlantic, as carrier recon revealed at 11:00 with an attack on Kiel Port, the Battle of the Atlantic is at a close. The Hong-Kong convoy is re-opened. It is confirmed that 1800 garrison troops in Hong-Kong were killed from starvation, illness and rioting during this time period.
With modern ships, the U-boat threat is fading out.
Overview February 26th
RA Burnett sinks another wolfpack in the sea of Azores. An attack on a convoy in the Central Sea of Labrador reveals the last wolfpacks position.
Overview March 11th
Canada elects a more left leaning Government. (Market Liberal)
Overview March 13th
13th Destroyer flotilla sinks last German Wolfpack in the Atlantic. Victory at last! To think that just two months ago we were considering what peace terms we'd have to end up offering the enemy!
Overview March 14th
Convoy production is reduced given the new situation.
Overview March 18th
All warships in Atlantic are now back in port. A toast to them! RA Burnett receives a heroes welcome back in Plymouth, strange considering just a few months ago he was going to be disgraced. A toast to him!
Overview March 24th
Six of the ordered destroyer flotillas are launched. They are not needed so much anymore, but they are still useful.
Overview March 27th
Hong-Kong garrison is back up to full strength and with new equipment.
Overview March 29th
Finnish offensive to beat out Soviet troops ends in failure. At its height, it had reclaimed vast tracts of territory and made a pocket containing hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops. Ultimately though, with the snow beginning to melt and with Finlands military strength just to few to crush a pocket so big, Soviet troops have retaken much of the land Finland took in the offensive. There wont be another Finnish offensive. The war there does not have long to go till Soviet victory.
Overview April 7th
Dudley Clarke finishes his research into Pre-planned Defense.
Overview April 8th
Escort Fighter group is ready for battle, along with the 6th Indian Infantry division.
Overview April 11th
Improved Escort Fighter development complete. The 7th Indian Infantry division is ready for combat. The name is misleading, both it and the 6th Indian infantry are deployed in Plymouth.
Overview April 13th
Bornholm is back in German hands. Intel reports this probably happened a couple of months ago, while focus was on the Atlantic.
Overview April 17th
A second wave of troops are dispatched to France and Africa
Overview April 19th
Northern Command (five divisions) under General Dill arrives in Calais, with orders to move to Lille.
Overview April 30th

Thanks to everyone for encouragement, and @Sir Humphrey: fun? Thats not a good enough word for it.
Stuff got really close in those past few months, yes its impossible to starve out the British Isles in this game, but my colonys were really starting to be threatened. The problem was, Donitz would move to a new location, sink 30 transports in a day or two, then move to a completely new location soon after my ships arrived. Ultimately though, managing convoys myself rather than letting the computer doing it, as well as simply using more and better ships, ultimately led to the end of the U-boat threat. Unfortunately, the next part is the (probable) fall of France, which will allow the German fllet and subs out into the ocean again. But thats up to Shadow Kotten and the players after him to sort out.
All round though, its been a good start to the war, with no major disasters.
EDIT/ some may notice that I rarely mention actual numbers of troops. I will never say "fifty thousand troops" instead of "five divisions", never actually state the number of aircraft involved, and certainly never the actual number of convoys sunk (you can get the picture by what adjective I use). This is because I consider the numbers used by HoI2 as way off what they should be, and because I cant be bothered to research the actual statistics and translate them over. Finally, the reason I'm doing my part in this AAR so fast is because I want to finish it before I go back to school and get bombarded by Homework.

Just wanted to tell the other players this AAR is not dead, its just I've been too busy to this right now. I haven't wasted your time, you'll get your turn.
Well, I'm no longer busy, but there is yet another flaw in my plans, namely the release of 1.3. I made a few mistakes that I regret in the AAR so far (to do with settings, the fact that my game is half broke etc, not gameplay mistakes), and I'm looking for incentive to play UK again. For this reason, I'm redoing my part of the AAR with patch 1.3 installed. Thanks for the support for the stuff done so far, but I can redo it.
Unfortunately, the situation has got worse again, mainly because HoI2 is broken and I can't be bothered to fix it and replay 1939 (though it was tremendous fun). Also, I'm planning on doing a new Vicky AAR, as I have become addicted to that since my HoI2 files have messed up. For that reason, I place it in the hands of the other members who signed up to play in this AAR to begin again, if Shadow Kotten can't be bothered to play and write it then he can send a PM, as I assume the other players can. So, this thread is henceforth discontinued, though the AAR can begin in a different thread.
The player list is now:
1939-40: Shadow_Kotten
Sept 1940-Sept1941: Carthade
Sept 1941-Sept1942: Phoenix Dace
Sept 1942-Sept1943: VI Lenin
Sept 1943-Sept1944: Blodwen
I am tremendously sorry for any inconvenience caused, but as I said, I neither have the functioning game nor the time to write and report 1939 all over again. I also apoligise for the my strange effect on everything in life, namely that when I'm there, everything will go wrong for me and right for everyone else yet still they manage to be annoyed.

I was about to go back and make one for HoI 2. Glad to see it had a lasting effect and someone keeps going. I think we should start a new one with 1.3 so we don't bind anyone to 1.2. I'll participate in a new game since I already updated, up for it?
Mr.G 24 said:
Ok, Let's start a new save-AAR, but I don't want to be first, because I don't like being first
Yeah that'd be great. I may ask for a place if I can ever get the game to work again.
And Mr.G 24, as I said, loved the original, thanks for helping us out.
And Mr.G 24, as I said, loved the original, thanks for helping us out.
Well, my game is now working again, but I dont think I can get the savegames to work, and besides I'd much rather Mr.G took over from here. Needless to say, sign me up.
