Uxbridge's ETO Axis vs. all

[cpdeyoung]

September 1, 1939 : The KM runs for home, with multiple UBoats screening the two patrol groups heading in from the far reaches. We choose not to spend for research this turn because of the uncertainty surrounding the atack on Poland.

[cpdeyoung]

September 9, 1939 : We press forward in Poland. For the first time in my experience the German ships got off scot free, returning to port safely and doing a little damage too. The Germans did see a little negative PP growth.

[cpdeyoung]

September 16, 1939 : The Polish reinforcements have arrived before Warsaw. The French probe into Germany.

[cpdeyoung]

September 24, 1939 : We are making substantial progress in Poland.

[cpdeyoung]

October 1, 1939 : We have the PP to spend for research, and things go so well in Poland that we begin to look west.

[cpdeyoung]

October 9, 1939 : Things heat up on two fronts.

[cpdeyoung]

October 16, 1939 : Poland falls, releasing many units from duty in the East.

[cpdeyoung]

October 24, 1939 : We begin to campaign in the West. The weather will slow us down.

November 1, 1939 : Campaigng in the West.

Yeah, unit upkeep in ETO is no joke. The Germans can hardly build any units until at least France falls. Even the Russians are largely restricted from new builds pre war due to upkeep costs, unless they choose to completely ignore tech investment.

[Uxbridge]

Yes, this is fully intentional. Germany must husband her resources in the early part of the game or suffer consequences later. I also raised the upkeep for USSR. The USSR player will have the choice to go for either a less numerous amount of high quality units, or only basicaly trained hordes. Remember that you pay for high quality "twice". First when you raise the level, then each month due to higher upkeep.
