An advanced beginners AAR, and what i've learned so far and hope to learn

[Banjo]

CW oil usage

[Banjo]

Before I get too far along, I wanted to show the units lost this turn. Add to this the only units lost last turn, were the Polish units.

I think there have been some very lucky rolls so far. But luck will only hold out for so long.

In the breakdown phase, the Germans broke down a 5-2 inf, which gives them about six divisions for casualties.

The CW break down a 4-3 inf in Calcutta. This should have been done from set up. One of the div rails to Bombay to protect the factory from partisans. I learned the hard way in one of my earlier games.

German builds

The Synth oil plant build last turn, killed the gearing limits for this turn.

I am still not satisfied with spending my last two BP because I had them. The CV will not win the battle of the Atlantic, but the fact that it is in Kiel is enough to tie down a few units of the CW.

Italy Lays down a naval transport.

[Banjo]

Japanese Builds

Like Germany, the synth oil plant hurt the gearing limits.

Two unused BP saved.

[Banjo]

China builds and INF and Militia.

The Sian Militia returns.

[Banjo]

CW builds

[Banjo]

France builds two militia. Like Russia, they will need an army to slow the Germans down. Nothing fancy. They had no INF corps available. 2 BP saved in Paris.

[Banjo]

US builds

[Banjo]

USSR build 1 garrison, and 2 INF corps.

Thanks to Centuur's answer to my question concerning captured factories, four blue factories in China have been razed by the Japanese.

[Banjo]

Germany scraps two obsolete bobmbers, and two 1 class CV air units. From the additions to the 1940 force pool.

It is officially 1940

[Banjo]

The Gneisenau is replaced to recieve upgrades, and goes into the repair pool.

[Banjo]

Before I forget to add this,

[Banjo]

Japanese scrapped units.

[Banjo]

CW scraps

[Banjo]

Axis wins the initiative, and will pass it to the Allies.

[Banjo]

Something I need to pay attention to towards the end of the turns is the remove air units phase. Have to free up the pilots from on the board obsolete units.

I am also becoming more familiar with scrapping units. My games have not gone on long enough to judge what to scrap for the long haul, so I am still conservative with scrapping.

[Banjo]

Germany is going west not east.
