So now that I have my copy of HoI Anthology, it's time to make my own AAR.
Now, I doubt that this will actually turn into a train wreck. I'll probably have a fairly easy time. But I'm sure I'll make all sorts of stupid mistakes. Luckily though, after all of the AARs I've read, I've managed to absorb a fair amount of basic information. i.e. don't start researching technology unless you've reached the appropriate year. So that will at least help me out.
So here it goes:
Country Germany
Difficulty Very Easy
AI Aggresiveness Normal
Version Doomsday v 1.3a (JCJS)
To begin, the German military is scattered throughout the county. Knowing that Europe is a powderkeg waiting to explode, divisions are shifted around. The divisions on the Austrian and Czech borders are moved to the French and Polish borders, as Austria and Czechoslovakia won't be existing much longer. The entire German navy is shifted from ports along the North Sea into the safer ports along the Baltic. The last thing I need is to end up losing them to the British until sea strength is adequate enough to defend itself.
Production is immediately focused on expanding current industry. Additional factories are ordered for various provinces right away and scheduled to be completed in mid-December, 1936. Left over IC is used to produce a few Infantry units to bolster the numbers of the German military.
As German forces moved towards the borders, divisions arrive in Cologne, thus breaking a stipulation of the Treaty of Versailles by re-occupation of the Rhineland. The act immediately sours relations with the UK, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
Midway through the year, war broke out on the Iberian peninsula. Spain had fallen into a civil war, fought between the Communist-backed Republicans and Fascist-backed Nationalists.
The German government opted to send supplies to Franco and his Nationalist forces. Supplies and money were shipped in an attempt to help out the Nationalists in their conquest of Spain. Just like the Rhineland re-occupation, this action angered the French and British, while also bringing Germany slightly closer to Italy. A Nationalist win would provide Germany with a potentially friendly nation.
After a few months of fighting, the two sides had established a long frontline stretching east-west across Spain. The Nationalists had taken control of the north of the country, including the capital of Madrid. The Republicans meanwhile, had taken the south of the country, as well as the Balearic Islands, and the Moroccan colonies. The front lines seemed to be rather stable with only the occasional change between the two sides. Over time, only small changes had been made to the borders. The Republicans took Salamanca, while the Nationalists took Castellon.
By mid-December the last of the new factories had been completed, increasing the German industrial capacity. German industry immediately began constructing weapons and vehicles for the war effort, with large numbers of tanks and rifles being produced.
