So- after the longest time...
The fist screen is a good start without having to go through the mandatory MAP-Beginning.
In the middle left side there's the manufacturing closest to delivery- Three fat pieces of fortresses to bolster our defenses on the mountain.
Right side top corner the splitting of the Industrial Capacity. (IC points)
Out of 120 six and a half are for upgrading actual military units with the latest technology advancements.
This is both interesting and to be considered carefully, as completing the research for a new set of guns for the fighters or tanks is not enough- you also have to produce and field them...
Reinforcements are points spent to restock divisions with machines or ammo.
Supplies is... well, pretty much self explanatory- an army march on its stomach.
Productions are points spent on manufacturing displayed on the left side...
Consumer goods is what the population needs to keep on living.
All in all it looks sustainable. For now.
The good old research screen.
Most important now is the bottom bar with my current "expertise" in the related fields, and the leftmost bar- showing what's going to be researched soonest.
As of now a number of Armoured forces related goodies.
Ok, no A map is useful. As I begin around halfway into March situation is oddly different from real History.
Germany steamrolled its way over Poland but nearly immediately (and almost a year early) tried to take France by force.
Failing. Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg are basically gone. TO make things even more odd Switzerland sided with the Allies and was invaded.
With little success I might add.
A couple of weeks goes by and suddenly the fortresses upgrades are nearly there. (Red Elliptic Circle)
Unnoticed it went the big over-usage of stored Supplies (Green Elliptic Circle)
My problem is that even if I had double the Industrial Capacity it would still be far too little.
Having built those fortresses I really have to have the industry to catch some breath.
Luckily by the end of April a new Industrial plant is completed and I deploy it... It doesn't looks like much but it will be two very badly needed IC points more.
When assembled in the region I chose. A week- usually.
I finally can look back, at the end of this session, having reached halfway into May- and nothing new on the western front.
All the while the researches went on like this...
Good news for the tanks crew...
and the infantry...
The boffins managed to push the mind behind aircraft design forward...
And politically speaking, since I'm still affected negatively by the Japanese influence I try to act more friendly towards my immediate neighbors.
