WW2-Global

Adler, LBPB, and Tantor,

Thank you all.

It was a serious situation, but I recover fast.

I never got time to resume the work with the 362x326 map.
Will now change focus to version 1.6.
The goal remains though: the 362x326 map shall also be completed,
although its not possible now to say when it will be complete.

General comments on posts:

On Iowa and Yamato: What vingrjoe says in Post 1492 is correct.
I only want to add that "on paper" strenght always has to be compared
with real strenght.
British WW1 Dreadnoughts looked very good in theory but German
Dreadnoughts were better in reality.

On Destroyer-Flotillas: My impression is that there are more pro than con
with regard to these units. Thus my intention is that they should stay in
the scenario.

On Mobilization: It could have been done in another way, but as the
situation is now I do not plan to change it. It seems to work rather good.

This was a short general comment on all the posts there have been
during the time I was ill. I assure you that I (as always) have read all
the posts though. My intention is now to resume with individual answers
to posters.

When I look back on the scenarios I have worked with during the last years:
the ACW-scenario, TGW and Barbarossa, I can say that the response on
WW2-Global is very strong. Of course this is very important for my
motivation to further improve the scenario.

Week 52:
Reykjavik is mine. A British fleet appeared too late (7 CL). Now I can make a Uboat assault into the Atlantic. My Stukas sink a CL in the Channel and in the Atlantic.
Battle of Reikjavik: U 72 sinks HMS Ceres, U 74 HMS Sheffield, U 75 becomes Elite by sinking HMS Belfast, U 77 (type IX) becomes Elite by sinking HMS Hawkins, U 79 sinks HMS Aurora, U 12 sinks HMS Calypso and finally U 2540 (XXI) HMS Edinburgh.
In Africa at Abelessa my army can destroy both French tanks attacking.
BTW why isn´t there a Pz IVD tank????
Neverthelss my infantry takes Dakar. Frretown is mine as well as Macimboa. Salisbury is also taken by infantry.
In India Madurai is mine. Calcutta is mine. A new leader appeared there so I could build a new Pz IIIe army in India.
BoB: The last coastal defenders were eliminated by my Luftwaffe. I also damaged a British DD flotilla heavily. I lost a Do 17. A little price for that.

PC:
A French BB sinks Italian Elite CA Bolzano. But the ship is in range of my Stukas...

I have spend the last days on hospital due to health-problems,
but now I am back again.

There have been more than 100 posts since I was online last time,
so I can not make individual answers on them this time.

I will however try to sum up the most important aspects in the posts.

Sorry to hear you were in the hospital. I hope all is well now.

I have been playing my Japanese playtest more then my American one lately. I have been able to make steady gains against all foes at this point. China is down to 2 mountain cities. Communist China is down to a mountain and desert city. Russia has lost the line of cities on my northern border. America has lost all islands west of Midway, and most of her Pacific fleet. France is down to Saigon. Britian has been pushed back to the Western and Southern parts of India (I'm following the rail lines in the north). I've taken as far as Kashmir. Mostly, I'm doing this through a mixture of air power, heavy artillery and Marines. I've drafted up about 15 infantry, and I have 2 infantry armies that come along for support. I have the communist infantry wonder, so I've been replacing my MPs from my inner cities with them so I can have more infantry on the front lines.

I have about 7 cities producing units now, with a couple producing either a Marine or artillery every 3 turns. Tokyo is building a Yamato every 10 turns. 3 other cities are producing misc naval units. A British destroyer flotilla sunk one of my battleships, so I'm concentrating on building those right now. I have my navy split into 7 fleets and I had either a Yamato or BB as the flagship. I am going to change that to having at least one flotilla in each fleet as well. Those are nasty little suckers.

allin1joe,

Thank you for the report.

It seems like you have established good positions. it will be interesting
to see how Soviet-AI counter this. With its fleet wiped out I guess
America-AI will stay on the defensive for a longer period of time.
Maybe Australia is the right target to strike at now. I guess that you
soon will see a counteroffensive from Soviet though.

Welcome back.

Adler,

Thank you for the report.
A rapid German expansion so far! It should not take much time before
you control Africa. It seems like the British soon will lose control over
all its positions in Asia.

On the Pz IVD: I will include it if I can find a relevant formation that
it should represent. Relevant for the scale of the scenario I then mean.

Welcome back.

Week 1 1940:
I sunk 3 British CL off Brest.
Accra, Abijan (not Abijin), Canakry are mine. A Leader appeared by the conquest of Abijan. He is transformed to an infantry army which has the task to defend western Africa later. Laurenco Marces and Beira are also no longer Portuguese. They are eradicated. Zesfontein is also mine.

PC:
Italy declares war on Greece!

On Destroyer-Flotillas:

Based on info from playtest-reports, I will reduce the power
of Destroyer-flotillas and increase shield-cost in version 1.6.

I hope this will solve most of the reported problems.

Rocoteh,

glad your back and getting better. Remember, that as "easy" as being on the computer is, your still working and not helping yourself to get better.

Rocoteh -

Glad you are back - watch your health first!

Glad to hear that you will make adjustments to the DDF.

Bob1475,

Thank you.

Should the current Destroyer-Flotilla not work I will probably
go for a Half-Flotilla unit instead. First I will try reduced power for
the Flotilla unit though.

oljb007,

Thank you.

Yes, but I only spend a very limited time at the computer
compared to earlier.

Glad to have you back, Rocoteh! :)

I ordered my computer yeasterday, so I should have it before the end of the month... When I get it I'll start playing this scenario again... Then there's a chance I'll write some playtests... There's only a small chance, though... I'm pretty lazy... :)
 
Glad to see you again Rocotech! Now just take care of yourself and rest.
btw, I got a bit bored to scenario (no strong enemies except US.), so I started to play The Great War as Russians :D. It works faster, and has been great challenge so far. I'll post you some playtest repport's if you want. (to the right thread, of course)

Thanks for the guide Vlad1917_a, I may not use all of that, but I can see where you are coming from. I tried to stack up a ton of infantry in Wuhan and Foochow, but the 30+ air attacks and 10+ BB/CA bombarding Foochow were just killing my poor regulars left and right. Maybe if they had 1 more hp they would survive air raids better, I don't know. :( I just now realized Hvy. Arty. has lethal land bombard, while regular Art. does not! That may come in handy, maybe I will skip tanks altogether. ;)

The aa diffence Have killed all Japan air in 2 turns :)
Tanks are usefull because they can kill 2 units in the turn and produce leader to u.

Welcome back Rocoteh.
 
Glad to hear that you're feeling better, Rocoteh.
