You're not in the 6-month USSR can't attack lag period any more, either...Good luck, you're going to need it!
As a fellow beginner German playing AAR writer, I root for you the whole way! Excellent, and fun to read too.
Crap! I'm out of nails, bit 'm all off reading this report! Please update. quit your job, forsake your study, dump your gf, (but take her cpu, mind you) I don't care, Arggh, the suspense, it's killing me
Damn good game, damn good AAR. Nothing like a game were every milligram counts and all hopes are not quite lost, but in the proces of being missing..

Agreed; the best games, in my opinion, are those were you hang on by the fingernails, gets the advantage, loses it, and gets it again, until you eventually prevail.
This AAR have these qualities
I have been in the same situation....
Mimir,
This sounds like the second ever game of HOI I ever played.
I thought it was rough having the Allies declare war on my peaceful Germany, although my diplomatic corps earned me, Austria, Czech, Luxemburg and land from Demark. I had massed the bulk of my army around a neutral Poland only for the Allies to declare war without provocation! Needless to say after some strategic redeployment I engaged the Western Allies then had Poland declare war on me with no divisions on its borders! Once again some redelpoying of forces and a quick offensive began against Poland. I then had the M-R Pact event but I did not count on the Sovs to DOW on my ally Estonia - I let them keep Memel. So I was at war against the Allies and now the Soviets. What did say me was my decision to puppet Poland deliberately leaving as many Polish troops untouched to help fight against the Russians!
I managed to defeat the Western Allies - not the UK and focused on the Soviets.
The end result - I DOW on Lithuania (my only one for the game) - after an amphibious invasion so I could get a German province from which to claim the Soviet territories as I had no German border provinces! 2 1/2 years of fighting in eastern Europe the Soviets finally crumbled....I then gave up the game as Germany was now too powerful to make it much of a challenge.
I just wanted to say I have full confidence in your Germany and there is always good generalship to save you eg. encircling 50 Sov divisions to surrender - coup de grace done by the AI Poland!
Keep up the good AAR I can't wait until the next one - screenies or no screenies.

I had pretty much similar situation...
I was playing SU not Germany, but still. All went as badly as they could: France fell in Feb 1940, all the Balkan states and Japa joined Axis. Japan had almost finished China when the war began in May 1940. I just stood behind Dnepr moving troops anywhere they tried to attack. Luckily they never got through my lines, since I had no reserves. Whole autumn and winter I just made new infantry divisions. Then, I attacked Vitebsk with 72 divisions. Germans had initially about 25 divs there. Their divisions started to die, but they just poured in more. In the end, they had lost about 50 divs. Then I started to encircle small German units (20 divs). Finally, I managed to encircle more than 60 German divisions in south. When they were destroyed, Germany was all but defeated.
The lesson: Encircle and destroy. It's no use causing them casualties. They just hit reinforce button and all the damage they've taken is to organization.
