While reading other threads, lots of other people complains on their TC problems (playing Italy or Japan, in another AAR) and the suggested solutions almost always are "try liberating a puppet or two". How does this help free TC and how come you don't share their problems? I'm guessing it's because of your very high IC giving you a TC of ~1000, right?

Now you have quite a few occupied provinces you can't annex (UK and mainland Netherlands/Belgium) that do drain your TC (how much? can you see that somewhere?). Do the annexed non-national provinces drain TC too or not? Sorry, but I just don't get it all yet.

1. My current TC drain of 400-500 would absolutely cripple Italy or Japan. Having more IC makes a HUGE difference.

2. Liberating puppets is profitable, TC wise, only if the reduction in TC used to garrison the territory is greater than the reduction in TC capacity lost from the lost IC. For some nations it is better, for others it is not. In this AAR, I'm going for the annex option as a primary objective, so I'll not be using puppets unless the situation goes critical.

3. At this point my TC drain from occupied provinces and partisan activity is about 100-150 points. The annexed non-national provinces don't drain TC, but the partisan activity in them does.

4. @rasmus40 - I have found that if you keep your partisan activity level to < 10% you won't have problems with revolting. I have had it happen in past games, but only when I let the activity level get too high. I am concerned, however, that such a revolt might occur in the UK before I get enough garrisons in place.

5. @Holdfast - Bingo. On both points.

6. For the record, my highest scoring ship captains are by Battleship captains, not the CV captains. The Tirpitz was the #1 ranking captain last time I checked, with over 10 kills. The Big Guns are the glue that holds the CVs together in night and bad weather. The CVs only get kills during good weather during the day.
 
And let me just add that for TC management, my experiment with Engineers is looking good. Not only are my offensives much quicker to their objectives, but Engineers are extremely low supply users, which is keeping my TC down considerably. I'd expect Arty/SP Arty Brigades on all those units would cost me another 50-100 TC load.

"Comrade, are you sure these purges are necessary? The fascists have completely destroyed our sphere of influence along with the entire capitalist alliance and even at this very moment build up what obviously seems to be a force for invasion."

"Do not question my wisdom, maaaaaaan....I consulted with the all powerful spirit of Juche and he said the nazis are tooootally bluffing. They can feel our vibes, dude. The vibes of the working man. Now get me another cup of opium tea before you totally ruin my buzz."

Does this mean that you guard every province with ten or higher partisan rating?
Does the partisan rating decrease over time reflecting nationalism of the other Paradox games?

Now I will stop asking all these questions so you get some more time to play and write.

Thanks a LOT, Crisisman! Your AAR and your clarifications are great :) I appreciate your time and patience with us.

And now, to conclude with Rasmus40, lets stop distracting you with our questions so you can focus on your WC. Go go go!

Cheers!

I hope not :eek: :)

Not to hijack or anything but SU should really do something when the pact is not sign and germany also attack the baltic states right infront of their nose.

THAT I agree with. :)

why not? :) maybe it should not be automatic as players could exploit that but it should certainly be very likely. If SU does not attack then they are almost certainly doomed to be defeated when Germany turns all its attention to it. Germany will be fighting a one front war now.

Anywhy, sorry for hijacking the thread , this will be my last post on this topic here.

Maybe it was because you wrote SU to attack Russia. Maybe he's not a big fan of civil wars :D
 
Guys, shut up and let the man write his AAR without answering questions all the time. :p

Like the AAR so far, and I look forward to seeing how you handle Barbarossa and the invasion into the Middle East. :) Keep it going!
 
Excellent AAR! Keep it up :)
Eagerly awaiting Barbarossa.

EDIT: how do you manage to keep the US out of the war? Should they not have DoWed you by now?
