3rd labs (all categories but navy have currently 2 labs bought) will be bought progresively since built up for Barbarossa will have a slight priority.shawkhan wrote:Are you able to keep up with your research?

Well, if the Allied player hopes to takes Tobruk using infantry attacks, then it may take quite a while...

Nice AAR,thx. Refreshing to see Axis properly defending Libya instead of buggering out to Sicily as seems to be the standard modus these days.

Re: Vokt (Axis) vs jjdenver (Allies)
This looks quite good. Mostly just the Italians are fighting in the Med, so you are not wasting too many German resources there. With only 3 land units in the vicinity of Tobruk, the Allies won't get anywhere anytime soon - they will need reinforcements. The Iraqi rebels will be a perfect distraction.
I'm a bit surprised that 4 subs didn't destroy that convoy. Bad techs? Anyway, it is clear that the Allies focused their naval power in the Med. IMO they suffer because of the dispersion of effort - in North Africa, their strength at sea is not followed by strength on land. With 1 TAC and 3 additional corps they would have been able to destroy the Italians easily. That being said, they still have more than enough time to conquer Libya, so I'm sure that they will get there, eventually, but you may be able to exploit their weakness in the Atlantic.

Re: Vokt (Axis) vs jjdenver (Allies)
It just seems strange to me that the Allies sent so many naval units to the Med without sending more land and air units. Now even if they send reinforcements, it will probably take more time, because they may have difficulty with assigning enough escorts. I hate being "stuck" in the Med with my naval units - it takes far too many turns to get back to GB to my liking.

Re: Vokt (Axis) vs jjdenver (Allies)
Bah, it seems that you will soon lose Tobruk, after all. And look, the Allies are coming! I'm wondering what's in those transports...
Southern strike in Russia seems rather underwhelming. I assume that you will be going for Leningrad/Moscow. Isn't it a bit too late for that?
Oh, and I must say that I've never seen SS infantry in 1941 before

Re: Vokt (Axis) vs jjdenver (Allies)
Very intense action! I think that you may have trouble with taking Leningrad in 1941. The Soviets have many INFs there and forested terrain doesn't make things easier. On the other hand, Leningrad defenders have only 1 entrenchment, so if you start bombing the city soon, you may have a chance...
Soviet defence line in the Central Front looks a bit strange too me. Units are positioned too far from Moscow, which may make them easier to destroy. You don't really need to take the city in 1941, just inflict high casualties.
In the South, I think that your air support is weak, so going for Rostov and Sevastopol at the same time would be risky.
I'm not sure how many naval units the Allies have in the Med. Considering that the RN has higher effectiveness than the RM, you may soon lose your naval units if the Allies counter-attack. Your subs seem a bit understrength, which is a pity.
In the Atlantic, things look quite good. I doubt that the Allies will be able to defeat you soon, unless they invested heavily in the navy and have many naval units in GB.
