Atheory AAR - GC 1936 - Nationalists Peluche

[atheory]

Hi Atheory - thanks for the AAR.

If you get a chance, can you explain what is happening on the naval side in some detail. For example, are the ships (and their sides) set at the outset or is there a random element that can see ships change side? How, if at all, are crew mutinies dealt with?

I look forward to reading more.

Just to add on to what RangerJoe said, as far as I know ships can only be captured if in port when a base flips control.

What modifications do you mean?

Oil ships are green and coal ships are gray...

(and sailboats are also green)

What? I think you may have misunderstood what I was saying. I said nothing about modifications so I'm lost.

I was just saying that I've never really experienced supply shortages so creating convoys has never been seen as a priority for me.

Fuel, you will need fuel.

Supplies, in order to build up your forces, you need the supplies. Shipments of supplies from Germany, Italy, and/or the USSR represent not just the supplies but the devices as well.

I look forward to see how the logistics plays out.

You can haul excess resources from Spain to Germany to make more supplies! You can also do that for Italy but in my last campaign game, the Republican air and navy was active in that theater and I didn't want to lose ships.

As Nationalists, you can get oil converted to fuel in Africa. Africa will also be a source of supplies. But be careful since you won't have many ASW vessels early and submarines can travel through the straits of Gibraltar quite easily. Those CD guns get deadly to cargo ships and even damage combat vessels, even sinking some of those as well. So the Republicans have difficulties moving ships through the straits while the submarines can be troublesome if you let them.

Small skirmishes continue as more forces reach staging areas for future battles.

Ship Repair update - slow and steady. CAPN Feuntes Lopez, captain of the Espana is often seen lounging at the bow end of the ship embracing the sunshine with a bottle of wine.

Yes, indeed republican air is quite relentless in attacking shipping throughout the med. I may be inclined to taking the long way around. Maybe do a relay through spanish guinea or canaries.

Curious if anyone knows if there is a way to prevent this pop-up when you hover over a unit icon?

Naval action -

Coastal batteries fire on the BB Jamie I, confirming the presence of the ship in the strait. The BB has received two hits from coastal batteries.


PG Dato valiantly protects the transport convoy funneling troops from North Africa to spain, engaging the republican destroyer Lazaga.

For those, like me, that don't really enjoy this side bar, simply hit that minimize button and forget about it. You can still issue orders directly through the unit screens and if you're already familiar with WITP then you'll feel right at home already.

Post it as a bug in the Tech area, someone hit "m" instead of the "space bar" which also happens with the "," button.

That's the devil's tongue there, trying to trick us into using more mouse clicks than is necessary. (I say in jest)

yes yes, I'm just having fun with it.

Also, we cannot forget the 3rd "S" Maybe the the third S stands for "special"
