Bwheatley vs abulbulian WaW v32 (abulbulian not to look!)

[bwheatley]

I will be posting here about my first AAR against a human. I will be playing as the Allies its a 1 v 1 game.

[bwheatley]

2nd turn poland falls!

[bwheatley]

We tried to be aggressive and launched an attack to the north of the maginot line it didnt make it. But we tried.

[bwheatley]

It sure is a pain organizing your supply chain as the Allies any recommendations from peopleon how to do it? I have UK subordinate to Canada since the farthest north canadian port is 99 ap from london. And Canada is making supplies so that means i can have the UK focus on weaponary. I have india as my main supply hub feeding Egypt and australia i am going to build roads to the west coast of austrilia so my AP is under 100 to india.

If i want to get supplies from india to UK i guess i have to ship it during a turn using cargo ships i take it?

[zook08]

If you route it through the Med it'll be killed by the Italians. Maybe try South Africa and Lagos.

[bwheatley]

But i will have to ship it manually to SA then manually to uk right? Since its more then 100 ap and more then 250 AP so i would lose alot of that supply if i try to do it automatically.

[zook08]

No, that supply isn't lost, it is just not sent (Vic clarified that point in my Supply FAQ thread). So if London requests 10,000 points and SA and Lagos each receive only 75% due to range, only 5,625 points arrive in London, the rest stays in India. Mind you, I've never tried, so you'd better try it against the AI before using it in this game.

[bwheatley]

Yea thats how it worked for me in my game as west vs AI. It sits in host city but i need more then 25% in the UK so i've thought i'd just build cargo ships and send it around the horn manually each game. 8 Cargoships can send about 2k supplies it looks like.

[bwheatley]

Turn 3 Pretty quiet just some moving around of units and preparing for the onslaught!

[bwheatley]

The last of the polish defenders were overrun and i was just building defenses. I'll start posting screens when you have something to see

[bwheatley]

We have big plans...to be posted soon!

[bwheatley]

From my opponent!

Damm your navy!


I used my bb's to hit kiel and rip apart a unit. I have to keep him guessing if i can make the germans unsure then perhaps i can stall them and bring victory!

[bwheatley]

Winter set in and i have started getting trains to the middle east so i can start ferrying in troops because i will have the middle east as a good base to strike back into the 3rd reich.

[bwheatley]

Harassing fire from my ships.

[bwheatley]

As admiral Ackbar would say "It's a trap!"

[bwheatley]

one fleet had been sunk and lesson learned.

He lured me back by putting another unit there and he said...

`Who said you need aircraft carriers to have carrier air...hehe

Germans can't afford the ship part, just the aircraft. I had to lure you back one more time. It takes all Berlin production for 3 turns to make 24 carrier air!!!
`

What do you think that says about my opponent? I think it says a lot but i want to know what others think.

[bwheatley]

Looks like the blitz is on

[bwheatley]

First turn of the blitz.

[bwheatley]

2nd turn of the blitz. Paris is declared an open city so i can get russia in the game.

[bwheatley]

We had fleets waiting off rome to bombard so we did.
