That is a... rough frontline with the fascists.

Hey, we may even have nice things at the end of this megacampaign....assuming Zhang doesn't faceroll everything.

I'm willing to bet that trying to run an empire bigger than real world China as if it's your personal mega corporation is going to have some inherent problems

Guillotine shaped problems.

If you see a Field Marshal running as fast as she can, that's probably a good sign to keep up.

The make or break of this war will be whether Italy is cut off by land. That's what I would be planning to do if I were playing the fash - it's easy to come down from those mountains, and hard to go up them. Putting an armored spearhead through those plains and then walking an army down the Italian peninsula when it can only be supplied by naval routes is the logical way to fight this war for the bad guys, especially if they can fill the Med with subs to catch withdrawing troops in the water.

I gotta say I appreciate we somehow have Louis Barthas as one of our generals.

Also, I think we might want to send some aid down to Indochina if we get the chance.

"Invite to faction" means we join the war wholesale, and also probably means the other side joins a faction and it goes global.

Thank the People that war is over, hopefully with enough time for the NGF to reconsolidate and build their forces up for the Big One down the road.

They will be a speed bump.

Depends on how pointy the speed bump ends up being.

No, it doesn't. In 10 years they still won't be more than a speed bump. It's just a quieter front with the german fascists beat, that's all.

tanks are good, but CAS is better.

It's situational based on how your fights are working out. All things being equal, I'd rather have the same production's worth of tanks than of CAS planes.

Concentrated armor penetrates fronts and encircles armies, whereas CAS (when you can get the air superiority for it to work) will move an entire front forward.

karmicknight posted:


CAS is damage that ignores penetration and air superiority (and I think CAS missions) slows down the enemy in general (especially enemy tanks). You only need a single 40w tank to win a war, but overwhelming CAS is a guarantee of not losing, especially if you want to take a defensive posture and just bleed the enemy.

CAS won't fly if you don't have a certain percentage of air superiority. You can assign the planes, but the mission won't happen.

In an ideal world, yes, you have air superiority. But if I have to choose where to prioritize my production, I'll get a functioning mech force together and put some AA in my infantry units rather than build CAS and the fighters to enable them.

Uranium, especially pitchblende, was a mining byproduct in Europe for a long time. They don't have to leave the continent.

Marie Curie isolated radium from a pitchblende sample, for example.
