Thanks for sharing, guys. I do have to say that it looks like Tom needs to ratchet up the PP costs of the tech upgrades, and in a major way. It just seems so wrong to have Fighter IV's and Rifle/SMG III's running about in the middle of 1940. Given that the tech trees have been consolidated into so many fewer branches, the branches really should each be made significantly more expensive than they are now.

Freeboy and I are playing the same mod, with him being the Axis in it, as well. My tech ramping hasn't been as drastic as you've done, but we've just finished turn 9, April 27, 1940, and I've already got my Ships, Fighters, Infantry, and Guns to level II, plus a whole pile of PP's in the bank, waiting to see what needs to be upgraded next.

Yeah i am planning to make a mod of my own. Will take a long while though. But Freeboys idea is excellent, if i would make Planes and Tanks and Ships etc. only upgradable within their type this might be very interesting.
So a german Mark IIIe only can be upgraded to the other MarkIII models like G,H,J, but eventually you might have to switch to Mark IV or V. But first i am making the map.

Nearly zero action in the september turn. I waste a rifle corps with 40 rifles trying to take Bergen which is garrisoned, but my recon was too limited to reveal them.
So -4000 points for the Allies, but the Allies sink 6 subs and destroy 10 paratroopers and 2 smgs.

Paris should fall any turn now.

Octoberturn 1940. Freeboy took Marseille with italian troops. He sank a small royal navy fleet consisting of 1 cargoship and 1 cruiser in the north sea with a fleet consisting of 6 subs and 1 destroyer. We sank this fleet in return in our turn.

The situation in Paris is now hopeless. It will fall any turn now. But at least it hold out much longer than historically and will probably significantly help russia to survive the german onslaught next year.

Just a finishing note. Freeboy and me decided to call the game a draw. Paris would eventually have fallen and then if we would have kept our houserule for historic barbarossa start germany likely would have lost, but if the germans would have delayed it half a year or so they would likely have nontheless won. We decided then to rather try my small Waw mod for which Freeboy already started the AAR. The Allies get there some extra resources so i think it doesn't matter there if the axis try to delay barbarossa. Most likely they will be "forced" to try to attack russia asap, so in spring or summer 1941.
