KR Trip Report Canada --> UK, State of the War and the World, November 26th 1944



The Liberation of Western Europe

Exploiting the manpower shortage of the Germans the combined assault of the Entente forces punish the German forces gravely and managed to surround and force the surrender of several divisions.



With France secured and the frontlines advanced into German territory, the government of the Kingdom of France is approached and presented with an offer: ally with the Entente and be restored as rulers of France. As the French regime in exile had already been at war with Germany, seizing Morocco from the, since before Britain's own war with the German Empire, they eagerly accept this offer and the government relocates to Paris. French troops in Africa are gathered in Casablanca to be embarked on Canadian transport fleets to take them to the frontlines of the war in Europe where 280,000 experienced soldiers will be warmly welcomed.



Upon returning to Paris the French government announces the restoration of the suspended constitution and begins preparations for a general election to strengthen the legitimacy of the new royal government, even allowing the participation of a socialist party, under certain conditions, though it is also announced that only Frenchmen will be allowed to participate in the elections, the Africans who sheltered the regime in exile and supported it with troops are excluded and remain second-class colonial subjects.



Further south the collapse of German resistance in France allows Entente forces to quickly liberate the Iberian peninsula and restore the rightful governmnet which cedes Gibraltar to the United Kingdom in gratitude, Portugal is kept under military administration for the time being.



As the offensive against the Italian Republic has stalled due to mountaineous terrain and surprisingly determined resistance an attempt is made to land elite troops behind enemy lines and hopefully cause an opening that will enable the Entente to knock Italy out of the war. Unfortunately Italian reinforcements force the attempt to be abandoned for fear of Entente forces being surrounded and captured, though the attack did cause much disruption and has caused widespread panic amongst the Italian civilian population many of whom were forced to flee their homes.



In late November the offensive against Germany runs into trouble as American troops, who make up the majority of the Entente troops in France at this point, mutiny complaining about poor preparedness for fighting during the upcoming winter and general disgruntlement at being receiving less supplies than the British and Canadian troops despite them bearing most of the responsibility for holding the frontline against the Germans who have now regrouped their forces and begun counter-attacking across the line. A decision is made to halt the offensive and the troops on the frontline are ordered to dig in and assume defensive positions for the upcoming winter, the leading mutineers are punished and several American commanders are removed from duty and replaced with new commanders. Silently the military leadership address the complaints adressed by the American mutineers, noting that they will have to rely less on these troops as French troops from Africa arrive.



With German troops freed up after overwhelming success in the east, this course of action is probably wise as it will allow British troops to be deployed to deal with the recent German incursion into occupied Norway. The war with Germany will likely continue well into 1945, there was an unspoken enthusiasm amongst the government and military leadership that a breakthrough could be achieved which would allow Berlin to be taken by Christmas, this ambition is shelved as planning for the winter campaign commences.





The War in the East and the Pacific

To say that the Soviets underestimated German arms would be to put things mildly, their attempt at enforcing their territorial claims against Germany's ally Ukraine has been a military disaster of unimaginable proportions. Vast swathes of the country have been occupied by German and Ukrainian armies who have seized both Moscow and Petrograd, attacked in the rear by the Qing Empire they can only offer token and guerilla resistance at this point. Entente strategist note that the German war effort in the east is probably what enabled their armies to advance so rapidly and decisively in Western Europe, it is also generally acknowledge that the fall of the extremist government in Moscow is an outcome desirable to those favoring future peace and stability.



Further east the star of the Qing Empire is rising as they have taken advantage of the military misfortune of the Soviet Republic and launched their own attack against them, annexing Mongolia and seizing Soviet lands in the east.



Further south German lands in China are under assault from Japan and Indochina. Japan is ruled by the emperor Yasuhito who allied with the military to usurp power from his nephew, this alliance of emperor and military have vowed to return Japan to its bushido ways and to carve out a Japanese empire in South East Asia and the Pacific. Indochina has been at war with Germany since 1938 when syndicalist guerillas under Ho Chi Minh overthrew the colonial government in German Indochina, they have repelled German attempts to restore their rule and have even expanded into Burma, their territorial aims against Siam have been thwarted as Siam allied with Japan to protect itself against the Syndicalist threat.




As a reward for their loyal service in liberating Britain from Syndicalist oppression, the Australasian Confederation has been granted a carte blanche to seize German holdings in the Pacific, which Billy Hughes has currently exploited to seize control of German New Guinea, though his ambitions are far from sated with this. This war might very well see Australasia rise to become a great power in the Pacific as a balance against Japan. Also of note is the Dutch colony in Indonesia, the Netherlands have managed to stay neutral for the entire span of the war so far and are probably the most democratic nation in the world.





The Rest of the World

The Hapsburg Empire, as it is, has stayed out of the war. This is no doubt a result of fears that becoming involved in a new great war simply is not in the Empire's best inerests as the last one so decisively proved. Furthermore Austria has not been able to centralize the Empire which remains only a loosely bound system of alliances and dependencies. Austria even faced the humiliation of defeat against the Italian Federation (which no longer exists, annexed by Socialist Italy) losing Venice and was afterwards defeated by the secessionist Bohemians as well to make matters even worse. With knowledge of these events, the policy of neutrality is likely the only thing still keeping the Empire afloat, a strong wind would probably be sufficient to send the whole thing crashing down.




In the Balkans Bulgaria emerged victorious in wars against Serbia and Romania who have both been made her puppets, whilst in the Middle East the Ottoman Empire weathered the storms of Kurdish independence and Arab nationalism but ended up being forced to acknowledge partial Cypriot independence. The recent death of the former Sultan has not yet seen the Ottomans attempt anything but to continue existing.



In Africa, Morocco has been seized by the Kingdom of France whilst Mittelafrika has stayed out of the war at large which probably has saved it from being gobbled up the French and Entente-aligned South Africans.



In 1938 Delhi left the Entente under the influence of prime minister Jinnah who has made Delhi the leader of a military alliance that includes the Princely Federation of southern India, Afghanistan and Persia. This alliance waged a savage war to destroy the Bhartiya Commune. Though the Commune's forces seized Delhi, forcing Jinnah and his government to relocate to Karachi, the massive casualties suffered by the Commune in its two-front offensive and an Allied amphibious landing that almost succeeded in taking Calcutta, eventually ended up forcing a peace treaty where the Allied leaders agreed to recognize the Commune in exchange for territorial concessions. Entente military planners note that the strategic position of Delhi is tenuous at best and due to their belligerent foreign policy an Entente war to restore order to India and bring the criminal leaders of the Indian states to justice and restore the Indian Empire is not completely out of the question.




North America has not really changed since the Canadian intervention to restore order to the beleaguered and civil war stricken United States. In Canada King Edward VIII retains personal rule, though the country has seen regular riots protesting conscription ever since the resignation of Prime Minister Mackenzie King as Canadian feel that they have already sacrificed enough by leading the way to restore the British Empire and many feel that the continuing war with Germany is not in Canada's best interests. The American puppet states continue to be ruled by authoritarian regimes of corporate, military and political elites who have served the Empire by conscripting hundreds of thousands of young men to serve in "Volunteer Corps" on the battlefields of Europe, a policy not entirely popular with a population who have been through a vicious civil war only to be opportunistically subjugated by their more stable neighbor.




Tensions continue to run high along the Mexican border. The military government of the PSA and the socialists in Mexico both seized upon the chaos of the Second American Civil War to seize territory for themselves and now their armies face each other across the border as both lays claim to the other's territory, sooner or later something has to give in this staring contest.



At the outbreak of civil war in the former United States the Canadian Navy seized the Panama control and has retained control over it in order to further the Entente war effort, problems could arise with the United Provinces who lay claim to Balboa and Syndicalist Centroamerica who have territorial ambitions on all of Central America.



South America has seen a number of small wars following the end of the Monroe Doctrine, the most notable of which was the war between Brazil and the alliance of La Plata and Chile which saw the Brazilians decisively beaten and reduced to a military governed puppet state feeding money, food and resources into the La Platan economy and military. Another disturbing force in the region has been the syndicalist regime of Bolivia which waged short war against the alliance of Venezuela and Peru for minor territorial gain.




The Home Front

In Britain the National Party regime has had to deal with the re-emergence of the IRA which has assassinated military leaders, robbed banks and bombed factories causing some disturbance, it is probable that harsher measures need to be introduced in Ireland in order to crush Irish nationalism once and for all. In the meantime priority in research and production is directed towards developing a weapon which scientists and engineers say will be capable of a level of destruction unheard of before in human history, though it is feared that German scientists, who are much more knowledgeable on the theoretical underpinnings of such a weapon, are much further along towards this goal than Britain currently is leading to some pronounced fears amongst the segments of the government and military and scientific elite involved in this secret project underway in Carlisle.




Casualties

Looking at this it appears the various wars around the world have resulted in somewhat short of 30 million military casualties so far.
Entente forces have so far escaped with relatively light casualties compared to the horrendous losses suffered by Mitteleuropa and the Internationale.







So, yeah, this ended up being a pretty big post and mostly written kind of in character, it just came out that way and was therefore easier to do.

e: Just got an idea! Instead of immediately shipping those French troops to reinforce the line against Germany I am going to use them to invade Sicly and Southern Italy!

e: 280,000 French troops, not 200,000. Alot of them are cavalry divisions and motorized infantry.

CAS are shorter-ranged but more powerful. They cannot have escort fighter attachments, so they're a bit more vulnerable as well.

TAC are longer-ranged but less powerful. They can trade-off some of their range by taking escort fighter attachments, which makes them less vulnerable.

You should not use either in a stack of less than 8 as doing so will multiply your chances of losing an entire wing in a bad engagement.

If it's anything like HoI2 vanilla, CAS are used for Ground Attack (damages Strength, best used to follow up an attack and deal horrific casualties to losing or retreating units) while Tac Bombers are used for Ground Support (damages Org, best used to tip the balance in a ground battle).

This is not the case in Darkest Hour, both plane types are used in the same way - Ground Support on an enemy army that is already in combat with your forces, then Ground Attack once they're retreating.

Ground Support damages their Organisation so they retreat, then Ground Attack damages their Strength while they retreat and cannot effectively defend themselves.

Darkest Hour navies bear little resemblance to those in reality. In Darkest Hour, all fleets should number 30 ships and be commanded by a Grand Admiral. Here are some combinations that work:

30 submarines with torpedoes - will kill anything EXCEPT heavy cruisers you encounter on their own. Those are immune to subs due to a weird quirk of the rules. This fleet is very cheap and nasty to fight against.

15 carriers with 15 escorts - an escort is a heavy cruiser or smaller ship. The advantage of this fleet is that it will be able to engage any slower fleet from outside that fleet's range, and bomb them while taking no damage. Faster fleets will catch it though, and carriers have zero sub attack so will get massacred by submarines since they'll engage at the range of their escorts.

15 battleships with 15 escorts - good against anything it can catch, but most things will be faster, submarines will eat it alive, and carriers will bomb it from out of range. Usually only good if you start with lots of battleships (EG: UK) or if the enemy is nice enough to not field carriers or subs (EG: Italy)

30 heavy cruisers with torpedoes - kind of the ultimate fleet. Immune to submarines, fast enough to catch carriers, and such a fleet will even give a battleship-type fleet a run for its money.

To be honest I've been kind of winging it, but I've been doing quite well at sea regardless having won most of the ecounters so far and had very little trouble in keeping my naval dominance. Though it must be said that it seems the Germans are mostly hiding from me and the UoB did the same as their navy was away from Britain. What I've been doing though is generally going for large fleets 20-30 flotillas in order to concentrate power. Carriers go together with light cruisers and destroyer squadrons with anti-air and ASW add-ons, these fleets are used for combat patrol, interdiction or generally finding the enemy fleet and blasting it apart. Battleships, battlecruisers and heavy cruisers with light cruisers and destroyer squadrons (with AA and maybe ASW) go together in fleets meant to support ground forces (often in invasions) with shore bombardments. Submarines are in their own fleet and either convoy raid, patrol or interdict. I usually stick a few destroyers with AA or ASW in transport fleets in case of stray subs or aircraft. I've also found that placing a few smaller fleets of obsolete capital ships and such in ports and putting them on naval scramble is useful to engage enemy transports and such, as the AI will sometimes attempt such sneaky invasions wasting away their transports (of which they don't seem overly fond of building).

At least that's what I've been doing, almost entirely winging it, except the submarine thing which I think TheMcD told me to do.

You can put air units in stacks of 8? Whenever I try to put them together in a unit it never lets me do more than 3..hence why I never really use air units.

The Germans are really stepping up the frequency and intensity of their attacks now. Hopefully the line should be able to hold and they don't have some monster units returning from the east and capable of making a breakthrough.



On the plus side the French invasion of Italy has started, with 200,000 more troops incoming and keeeping in mind that my forces in the north that will either hold up a good portion of their strength or invade when they expose themselves, I am confident that I can have Italy out of the war within a few months, which should give me a marked superiority in men and material over Germany at the western front.



EDIT:

This German winter offensive is becoming more and more violent as they keep laucnhing attacks against Alsace-Lorraine, recently each subsequent attack has been larger than the one before. I really need to wrap up Italy so I can put a decisive stop to this.

Spanish government is often pretty hosed far as I can recall, though you get the option to ally with the CNT-FAI I think (though this might lead to them just annexing you, I dunno). In civil wars the general idea usually is to produce militia divisions, lots and lots of militia divisions, you need bodies on the frontline more than you need fancy equipment and training.

e:

Today marks liberty day, a celebration to mark the return of the King to Britain, the government orders it to be marked with all befitting pomp and glory even as the war in France is turning increasingly into a meatgrinder and Italian forces are putting up a heroic defense giving their lives stave off the Entente troops invading their homeland.



Developments in the east




e2: Italians seem to have super high organization which leads to them resisting almost to the last man. In the last few battles against Italian armies they have resisted for weeks while outnumber 5:1 or more, not retreating until they have suffer more than 2/3 casualties or more.

e3: Just got this event



Simply put I'm allowing whoever bothers to have an opinion on this to decide my new PM as I'm thinking I'll stop playing here for now. First past the post decides (so the thread won't be cluttered up with votes if it turns out lots of people care)

So as Kingdom of Spain, I did all right, but had two contradictory problems. I had the syndies cut off in the south but just couldn't finish them. The first is that I didn't have enough units- I couldn't properly encircle them and have a garrison against the Carlists. Secondly, I didn't have enough supply capacity for what units I did have, and thus they couldn't follow up offensives well enough. Speaking of which, how the hell were they being resupplied with no connection to their capital for several months? (I'm assuming if you win a battle against an encircled unit it's eliminated.)

Also, a) what should I be using my two strat bombers for and b) what happens if you take over a capital? The Carlists have theirs right on the border, a quick punch should be able to grab it.

Got my second Darkest Hour/Kaiserreich tutorial video set up, this time featuring actual gameplay. I run through an invasion of Flanders-Wallonia as the Commune of France and explain why I do the things I do for those who are totally new to the game. You can upscale the things I did to fight a much larger war against a more evenly-matched opponent.

The video's a bit shorter and I spend a lot less time talking about UI poo poo and more time actually playing and fighting, so it should be more interesting.

The only thing I didn't really cover in either video is naval stuff. If there's enough demand I'll do a much shorter third video for that, then call this exercise finished.
