It's A Long Way to Tipperary

[Finarfïn]

Hello,

after a lot of hesitation i'm sending here an AAR of my new game (i play mostly to learn the rule and interface).

So this is the beginnning (hope you'll enjoy, feel free to comment[:)])

It's A Long Way to Tipperary

You can find here my set of option

[Finarfïn]

Next step i choose for each eligible Major to make a request and to agree or not:

As CW i ask for the Buffalo, not a good plane but it seem to me a lot of air unit arrive in the Pacific theatre of operation.
As Chinese i ask for a TB3 just to let the Father of the people to have a "bad" bomber less with out having to scrap it.
I hesitate with the french bombers but finally decide not to ask for them.

Next , let's see how is US mood.
2 chits for the Ge/It and 1 for Jap

[Finarfïn]

Strangely it's as usual the USA which are required to setup first

WASHINGTON POST MARCH

First scrap all this ol' fashioned stuff

[Finarfïn]

Next setup the seeds of the futur superpower.

Don't think i've made it very original Atlantic fleet incuding two TRS in Norfolk with Nimitz, a div and an AT.
Pacific Fleet in San diego with 2 TRS and all the SUB. 3 CP in Caribbean Sea, 1 in the Gulf of Alaska.

[Finarfïn]

Next step the other super power : USSR

USSR National Anthem

Once again i have to scrap all this old (or sabotaged by the ennemy of the Labor Mass[:D])
I don't scrap any land unit, having reading others AAr make my feel Red Army will need every men, even the worst, to stand against the facist menace.

[Finarfïn]

I set up navies in Leningrad and Sevastopol (i have an hesitation with Rostov or spread it over several ports).
In Europe i setup against Rumania threatening Ploesti

[Finarfïn]

Not a lot of units in center and north, there is a GAR unit in Murmansk

[Finarfïn]

In Siberia, i try to setup agressively (i say i try ;p). In a multi player, in fact i'll try to have an agrement with japanese to be able to sent troops from Siberia to Europa. As i play a solo game i will have a deal but another game i'll try a Russo-japanese war.

[Finarfïn]

Now Italy will begin the show :

Giovinezza Fascist anthem

As usual first Il Duce has to decide what will be scrap or keeped.

[Finarfïn]

Next where to place the heir of Roman Empire .

In Northern Italy

[Finarfïn]

Libya

[Finarfïn]

AOI

[Finarfïn]

Next Major to setup is China

Chinese Traditional Song

First sent too old stuff

[Finarfïn]

South China

[Finarfïn]

North part

[Finarfïn]

It's Commnunist China turn

The Anthem of the Chinese People's Liberation Army

[Finarfïn]

Now maybe the tough work begin with the CW:

British Anthem, God Save the Queen

Scrap

[Finarfïn]

The hard work (Convoys lines...)

[Finarfïn]

As for CP lines setup is wide spread across the map.

Also a corp in Gibraltar, a DIv (ENG) in Malta Some CA/CL in Africa, Asiatic Fleet in Aden
America Fleet in Halifax and a few in Trinidad. Royal navy mostly split between Liverpool, Plymouth ( where you find stronger CV/BB) Gib and Alexandria. 2 SUB in Malta TRS between Liverpool and plymouth (with the liners).
