I think this is a good idea. It could simulate an accelerated US military buildup in response to the Axis invasion of Canada, although I do believe that a mandatory DOW on the US would be more accurate. The United States would have never allowed Germany to invade Canada without intervening.Stauffenberg wrote:

I just noticed a bug in the code. It seems the code checks for the northernmost port not being conquered and that means the Murmansk port hex. This hex can never be conquered so the convoys won't stop. They will continue to go to Halifax even if Halifax is taken by the Axis.
Instead I should have used the Halifax hex stored in a global variable as the hex the code should check for if London has fallen. I will fix this when I rewrite the code so the convoys go to Washington if Halifax is taken. I will also add the code about the convoys becoming US if Ottawa falls. That means the convoys will never stop. They will simply go to USA if Britain can't use the income. It's probably also a good idea to add code so USA will join the Allies if Axis units control a hex in Canada.

Turn 24:
Well well, Panzergeneral has certainly taken some advice, as he is on the offensive in the desert... I didnt want to move assets in that theatre because of my oil situation (gauge at 202...), but it just cannot be helped i cannot let the british have their way. SO i will show them how it is difficult to cross the desert without a fleet to protect your flank...
In canada, i am expecting the british fleet anytime now, and taking steps towards giving it a warm welcome. The Barbarossa preperations are underway. I do not expect do have a knockout punch on the Russians because of the strain of operations worldwide, but i will still be ablr to go deep into communist territory.
In England, it is obvious now that my opponent will not put a single PP on the theatre now that the game is up and canada is under direct threat, so from now on it will be an infantry's job to clear the damned place.
My sothern-northern preparations for barbarossa will lack the weight of so many units, but it will have a lot of punch. I would have liked to go full offensive in may, but i may wait until the historical date of june the 22nd.

Turn 25: Desert front heats up
Amidst heavy barbarossa offensive preperation and quiet front in Canada, the desert front heats up... The Italians will try to land in the back of the british.
Too bad Panzer general got some intel from someone basing on my plan posted last turn lol...

Re: Turn 25: Desert front heats up
Looking at his AAR, I don't see any evidence of foul play. It seems that those units were just straggling behind his main army and happened to be in the right place at the right time. You said "lol" so I didn't know if you were serious or not.supermax wrote:Too bad Panzer general got some intel from someone basing on my plan posted last turn lol...
Re: Turn 25: Desert front heats up
I'll back up joerock here - looking at PG's AAR, it looks like he either left some troops behind to guard his rear or they were lagging behind. Either way, they were there prior to you declaring your intentions.joerock22 wrote:Looking at his AAR, I don't see any evidence of foul play.

I don't blame you for being suspicious, though. My AAR on Freeverse lags way behind the current turn partially to avoid leaks, and even then I often insert slightly misleading or ambiguous info just in case.

Turn 26: Montreal in Flames!
German panzer elements take Montreal in a quick battle and almost overrun a british garrison. More reinforcements arrived in America, notably a TAC, an 2 INF Corps and a Garrison. The blocks are in place for a spring offensive that should see the demise of the british. We dont need overwhelming forces there isnt much exe we can move into anyway, and with the revenue the english will have, once the real fighting starts they wont be able to replace their losses.
I am afraid i wont be able to sufficiently punch the Russians i 1941, so the success of the Canadian operation will be critical, because if i do not succeed, i will ultimatly loose the game. This needs to work
In the desert, following Panzergeneral strong reaction and coevring of all the beaches, we have decided to retreat and let him have is way in the MEd... for now.The plain fact is that if i take Ottawa, all those troops and territory will be ultimatly mine with no fights anyway.

Turn 28: Canada heats up
The good weather returned last turn in Canada, heating up the theater. We will now start our drive towards Ottawa. Too bad there is that code glitch i would have TOTALLY crushed the canadians if it were not for those convoys... I tried to block them from entering port, but inexplicably, even if i position ships in front of the port and the convoy got intercepted by it, they still got thru and entered into port. At this point i do ont know what to do but let them pass, and concentrate on other things. The British can build infantry if they like, they just wont have the hexes to put them anyway...
In light of this new development, the OKH nas decided to send more troops to North America. I will need to send at least another 2 INF Corps and maybee a MECH, 3-4 GAR (Italians will generously help) and then i'll see if that kick in. I do have a lot of time on my hands before the americans intervene, but its going to be a VERY close call, i am unsure if i can make this work.

Sorry guys didnt have the time to do a screen capture last turn.
Destroyed the MECH transort, moved the DD to interdict british fleet getting into the interior canadian waters. Once i destroy the last troops transport (reduced it to 6 steps already with my bomber), the british fleet will be irrelevant.
I wasnt quite honestly expecting it to be that large at this point of the game. 4 BB 1 DD, 1 SUB and 1 DD still afloat for the british! Amazing This again make this game quite special in the sense that i will probably never to that again and i dont expect anyone to do it anytime soon either. This makes me rethink my strategic position with my fleet. I might have to expand it entirely to complete my land goals and destroy the remaining 6 steps on that transport. But once thats done and my reinforcements land in Canada, fleet, troops and the rest wont make a difference for the british.
I am also bringing more reinforcement to the Americas, my goals is to get 4-5 GAR + 2 INF on the short term to make sure i cannot get my lines of cumminication cut from any point on the long and fragile supply link ive got. Then i will be able to organize the final offensive in Ottawa with 1 HQ ARM , 2 MECH, 2 TAC, 2 INF and 1 IT INF.

You do a printscreen (that i guess you are able to figure out)
Then get a free account on www.photobucket.com. Then its as easy as copying and pasting the link from photobucket into the forum

Supermax,
Well your game with Panzergeneral has directly influenced changes to GS in v1.02 so that the axis will probably never again invade Canada; especially in 1940. It's games like this that help us better tweak and make the GS expansion more historically realistic. Thanks again for the game and AAR.
For GS v1.02 change log, see viewtopic.php?p=121696#121696

Well, too bad... I understand the reason for historical purposes,but for playability reasons, it would have been cool to keep it possible. I think its fun to play this game and renew my interest in it... Now lets hope i can make Canada surrenders.
Since its the only game i will be able to do what i did, i will commit a lot more ressources to this campaign to make it happen. So expect the Axis forces to grow significantly in the next 6 month for a USA Invasion. Barbarossa will suffer, but to hell with it i do not care anymore at this point, its going to be the last time i do something like that so i'll make sure i enjoy it.
