Worst Naval AAR Ever 1945

[Zardnaar]

Its not to hard to build an uber navy with one of the major powers, or even some of the smaller nations such as Canada and Australia. I thought I would do something a little bit different.

Game start date 1936
AAR start date January 1st 1945.
Normal difficulty
Armageddon 1.3
Tech Team capture on.

As part of the AAR you will have to guess what country I will be playing as. His imperial higness has ordered the construction of a deep water navy. Unfortionately this country doesn't have a naval tech team although it does have a naval doctrine team (not a very good one).

Even with 3 countries annexed and tech team capture on I still don't have naval engineering team. One of the countries annexed has alot of oil. Nevertheless lvl IV carriers will hopefully be laid down in 1945 although with less than 80IC only 2-3 will be in the initial build. All of the other naval techs are good for 1918. Numerous puppets serve this new empire.

Germany and Japan are still in the game and the USSR is on its last legs. The current navy has a massive 3 transport ships and 120 odd convoys. For glory the emperor demands it.

Goal defeat one of the following nations. UK, USA, Germany
Guess the country. More hints may be provided and I'll kick it off.

 

[Iwo Jima]

Mongolia?

 

[Zardnaar]

Not Mongolia.

 

[unmerged(142503)]

Angola? Egypt?

I would say Colombia, but the "Imperial Highness" thing is disorienting.

 

[unmerged(130734)]

Saudi Arabia, Persia?

 

[Timmie0307]

Hungary? (With a restored imperial highness?)

 

[quaazi]

Hungary sounds likely, landlocked but with a naval TT.

Wait scratch that, Hungary has both doctrine and model tech teams. Well, at least my version does, but I've modded it pretty much.

 

[unmerged(40779)]

Ethiopia?

 

[Zardnaar]

None of the above. My country isn't landlocked and is ruled by an Emperor- perhaps even the last one. No mods used except for the graphics improvement patch and one slight tweak made in 36.

 

[Timmie0307]

Manchuria?!!

 

[quaazi]

I was going to say it can't be Manchuria because he annexed an oil-rich land, but then... the Dutch Indies.

Huzzah!

 

[Zardnaar]

Timmie307 is correct. Manchurian (Manchukuo) wurld empire Bwa ha ha.

 

[Timmie0307]

''Sir, we're being invaded...'' By Whom? ''The Manchurians sir, the Manchurians...'' imagine these ships near England

 

[guy_montag]

Timmie307 is correct. Manchurian (Manchukuo) wurld empire Bwa ha ha.

ach! i was thinking the same too late, maybe
anyway good luck with the manchurians!

A World At War. Timeline of Events.
1936, Jan 1st. Japan releases Manchukuo from puppet status in return for unconditional support in any fututre conflicts. Manchukuo launches a 5 year industrialisation plan due to be completed in 1940.

1937. Japan DoW's China. THe obsolete and untrained (0 doctrine) Manchu army helps where it can.
1939. Japan defeats and puppets nationalist China. Manchukuo's IC reaches 40, Hitler invades Poland and starts WW2.
1940. France is defeated and the Vichy regime set up. Industrialisation is complete and Manchukuo has around 46 base IC or so. a single production run of X8 tac bombers is launched with the rest of the IC used to build infantry, mountaineers, and cavalry.
1941. Phony war and not alot happens.
Early 1942 Japan DoW's the Allies and the USA which promptly joins the Allies. USSR DoW's Nazi Germany and slowly pushes them back (winter).
Mid 1942. Manchukuo declears war on the USSR. Over fifty divsions and 8 wings of tactical bombers invade the Soviet far east. Local numerical superiority and encirclements devastate the Red Army while the airforce wrecks havoc due to large distances and low infrastructure required for retreats.
Late 42. Tannu Tuva and Mongolia are Annexed. Their tech teams are worse than MAnchukuo's. Winter arrives slowing the advance to a crawl and forces around Vladivistok are redployed to the west.
1943. Laying down new airfields as they go the Manchuko army and airforce launch a summer offensive into Central Asia. Japan bogs down in Burma, Germany bogs down in the Ukraine/Baltics. Summer ends with the Manchukuo army west of Sverdlosk.
1944. USSR collapses. Manchukuo and the Germans gut the USSR. Manchukuo beats the Germans to Moscow capturing large amounts of resources. In the anticipation of a Soviet Surrender Manchukuo releases oppressed peoples in the USSR. Kazakhstan, Siberia, Trans Ural Republic, and central asian and Caucasus states join the Empire.

Eurasia Jan 1st 1945. Persia the oil rich land is about to be annexed soon.

In the west the front line had more or less stablised in Persia. Allied reinforcements poured into Iraq. The main Manchukuo army was poised to attack India.

The longest March in the world. Manchukuo army invading India from the west via the USSR and Persia.

Who cares about the army. I promised you a naval AAR. the Manchukuo nation lacks a naval tech team, and has average tech teams at best. That didn't stop them. Oka Keijun and Mansyu Hikioki Seizo carry the hopes and dreams of the Manchukuo nation. We can almost build modern carriers!!!! Unfortionately the rest of the naval technology lags a bit and it will be a while before we know how to use our non existent toys. Hopefully carriers will be layed down soon once the technology is ready and a few more nav bombers are complete. Mansyu Hikioki Seizo has been a very busy tech team since 1939 researching planes and carriers.

The country known as the USSR decides it doesn't want to exist anymore. Incensed at being defeated by a country on par with Hungary and Bulgaria, Stalin commits suicide in the Kremlin. Evil.org will rule the world. With the Soviet surrender Manchukuo finally has a naval tech team and rocket specialists. New destroyers and aircraft carriers are promptly researched.

The first naval engaement of the resurgent Manchu empire. Pu-Yi in his glory decides to spare the allied fleet any humiliation by promptly advancing in a different direction. Counfounded by their innovative tatics not a single transport ship is lost while the resource rich provinces of Ceylon join the empire.

After 9 years of epic struggle the time has arrived to build a deep water navy. 3 new aircraft carriers are ordered for constuction in mid 45. While a little bit obsolete they are probably better than what most countries of the world have- the exception being that big blue mass across the pacific ocean.
