I am fairly addicted to the game [:)]. I thought I had enough but now I want to try out the new patch so here we go again. Ill continue making AARs until someone tells me to stop [:)].
Playing against Battlevonwar who I read in the forums have like 20 PBEMs under the belt more than I have so unless I screw up too much should be a close and nice game.
I have always just gone for a maximum buffed as super as I can make it Barbarossa. It has worked really well for me before. But with this patch with no Yugoslavs on your side it will be weaker than before so we will see what I want to do in this game. I have for a long time felt that the western allies build up a bit too fast and I know Alvaro says if you build subs it will be a lot harder for them to do so. Problem of course is for one that more subs = weaker Barbarossa and for 2 because Bismarck takes up so much of the shipyards its difficult to build subs because I also like to build some landing ships. But a more limited aimed Barbarossa and more resources to the Battle of the Atlantic could be an option to try something new and too see how it works out.
The Italians I find it hard to do something with but I am a bit inspired by Flaviusx defence of Italy in my game vs him and might try and do something similar.
Turn 1 as axis I do the same thing as always
Set replacements to 0. Invade Luxemburg. Prepare for Denmark turn 2 and the Netherlands turn 3. All the Italians on garrison mode. I dislike Poles running around behind my lines so I screen them off. This method probably not the best but usually Poland falls in 2 turns sometimes in 3 and that difference doesnt matter so much.
