  1. Total war April 1941

    Germany elects to go for total war and place it's whole country, economy, society on a war footing - Speer is tapped as armaments minister and given total authority over war production

    yes- one time increase of 500 MPP- plus 25% increase in MPP production, cost 500 mpp (25mpp for 20 turns)

    no-no changes

    Hitler respects military institutions May 1941

    Hitler gives his generals tactical and strategic oversight over German Wermacht,

    yes- permanent morale increase 15% over all forces. Cost 1000mpps - 50mpps for 20 turns,

    no- German forces suffer temporary morale decrease 15%.

    Probably unbalancing but good what if historical situations

  2. I think in order for Japan to make a go at it is actually just hold in China ven have some meagre progress and focus on invasion of Australia-Burma and Hawaii as that is where the major deployments occur also for the allies. This gives more bang for the buck for Japan and inhibit the US from taking an active naval deployment in the Pacific. If we can do a cost benefit-ratio analysis (MPP, preventing units deployment, time), this stratagem would bear out and the Allies would be hard pressed to stop this. China can wait, Japan must secure it's outer-rim and have it's superior navy in play early on and dominate (not get bogged down in China for meager rewards). This is a more agressive strategy that fits into Japan's strength's.

    higher LR's, NW's, and better AL's are key.

    We need to ask the maestro Terif for his recommended plan - I do think neutralising mainland England with sealion is number one even if you get delayed or assume a defensive posture at first in the east. You cannot just sit tight in France and ignore England while you prance around in Russia. That was the major axis mistake in WW2 by not focusing on establishing air superiority over the English skies and invade. Axis navy and combined air power has to come to bear to get this done. This eliminates a major base of operations for the allies. England was nearing breaking point for it's airforces during that time when Hitler stupidly shifted to bombing population areas ( we know how that turned out ). The drawback is that the USSR and America increase their readiness due to the fall of mainland England. Would you prefer England to frolic freely in your own backyard? And then open up antoher fight with the USSR at the same time? I would even get what Italian resources there are to serve as transport fodders/screen just to make this work.

    This would be my strategical viewpoint on how to conduct the war for the axis powers.

    Any other ideas?

  3. That is the kicker- you only have to take London- it is probably a script thing issue that Hubert is going to address in the new patch. To make it easy, if you don't want to go through the experiment of going out all costs for London- you can modify the scenario to give yourself uber Axis units and just take London early to replicate this. But it works if you take London by July 1940.

  4. If good weather permits for an early attack into Benelux and France, and you amphib The UK and take out London by July 1940, the whole UK surrenders!

    It takes a lot to weaken the UK navy and you would have to bring in over the Italian airfleet to the English coast. Big gamble though and you have to invest in purchasing tac bombers so that you would be ready to drop in. A lot of of your units will die also and you might be weak for Barbarossa. It's fun to try though.
