USA vs the World

Post by kg4ggl »

Just started a game with USA in the world scenario and decided to do an AAR. By the way, if anyone can tell me how to take a screenshot, that would help.

Started the game with Missile Limit off, Initial Funds High, and Monarchy as the government.
Step 1- Scrap all of my units excepting CVNs and SSBN-726. Shoot all the generals who protest. (No I would not do this in multiplayer). Set DEFCON to 5, reduce military init to 0. Change ROE to intiative medium, defensive contact to engage and set movement orders to quickest (global). Autobuild off, conscription to 18 and coed combat on.
Step 2- Begin to look at my economy and shudder at the thought of the long term and very expensive road ahead. Begin by upgrading, this will be continous until all of the factories, mines, what have you, are fully upgraded, 4 Nuclear Plants, 2 Industry Goods, 1 Consumer goods, and 2 uranium mines. Set Military Goods to 110% of demand no import or export.
Step 3- Lock Minister out of the research screen, completly. I prefer to manage everything on this screen myself. Send her to her room without any toys for whining. Then get to work. I know that I'm going to need oil, espiacally with my high speed military units, so research synthfuel. Also will be using missiles extensively so research Tactical Tomhawk, M39 ATCAM both variants, Harpoons for all three unit types, and M-40 NTACMs. Nothing like watching 4 Spruance DD unload 108 of these apiece. Set general tech to 0% and 50% on the other two. Social Safety Net to 0, Health Care raise it from 684.84 to 1,092M, Education to 1,073M, and Infrastructure to 1,110M.
Step 4- Although playing as America, I realize that some of the other countries have units that are as good if not better than I do. SO, ask for and receive from Russia plans for the AS-18AP and AS-18 Kazoo Missiles, AT-14E anti-tank, 9k58-B Smerch MLRS, MI-26 Halo Supply Helo, SA-20 400 Triumf all for a measly $4,484M. Ask South Pacific for ATTC Bronco Engineer Unit for 315M. Not because of any improved combat stats, just because it has a longer range 500km vs my standard unit 300km.

Have taken 4 extra strength pain relievers and fired next batch of generals for whining. On to the plan, ordered the production of 12 747-400ER Squadrons, 6 B-52 Squadrons, 12 Mi-26 Halo Squadrons, 3 E-2C Squadrons, and 9 F-14D Squadrons. Then ordered 14 SSN-774 and 8 SSBN-726 submarines. Also ordered the training of a Garrison unit, AT-14E and a M77E1 at Panama HQ. I'm going to have to wait until I have researched the rest of the tech but I plan on building a 100mm AA gun and a Eagle Sam at the same base. Begin upgrading all small bases to medium and begin scrapping all other land bases. Upgraded Comavagua Field to an Airbase and Puerto Cortes to a Sea Port. The current plan is to invade South America (SA) first and then take on other countries as units/time/politics allow. Up Research money by approx 1,500M.

Okay now that the basic layout is complete, I'll just post every gameweek instead of every day.

June 7, 2020

Econ Check, lets see Daily Profit of 1,896M, k that's good. Daily trade -589.69M split about even between water and consumer goods. Not great but I can live with it. Tax Rate of 44.7%, Inflation 3.4%, and Unemployment 6.1%. GDP/c is 21,184 and trending down. Annoying but not bad.

June 14, 2020

Econ Check, all right. Profit -176.02, ugh, well okay trying to jumpstart an economy is expensive. Trade -654.00M only consumer goods. I'm already taking steps to fix that, so can't complain. Tax Rate 45.4% up by .7%. Inflation is 3.4% same and Unemployment 6.0%. GDP/c is 21,136 and still going down. Only lost $48 dollars in a week, lets see thats about 7 and change a day. I don't like this trend so "marches into ministers office and throws her out window." Lets switch to Carol Mangis as minister, she has a high domestic and general IQ. Orders, let's see, Improve the Trade Balance.

During the week the Garrison unit in Panama finishes and is ordered to Entrench at LA PALMA (x176, y239). More of a trip wire than anything but its really the only land unit I have right now. Check the econ real quick here. Profit 559.34M much better, Trade -719.51M still in consumer goods. Tax Rate is 46.3% up by .9%. Inflation still 3.4% and Unemployment is 5.9%. Okay still pretty good. GDP/c is 21,063 and going down. Not good, but if I understand this right that means its costing me less to build stuff, so I'll accept it for now. Wonder over to the commerce department and noticed that I'm underproducing on Ore. Ordered construction of 10 new mines in the Great Lakes Region.

June 28, 2020

During this week, I finally got synthetic fuel plants researched. I immediatly order 35 of them. First I put on ear muffs so I wouldn't hear the screams from the Treasury Dept. Began research on Advanced Construction, the 8% increase in factory building will come in handy. Upgraded Manufacturing, again 7% increase in unit construction, always a good thing. Also M3A4 Bradley CFV for better recon, Thunderbolt AGS as my new MBT, M8 Ridgeway for airborne ops, MIM-120 Eagle and the MIM-120G Eagle. 100mm AA gun, or old faithful as I like to call them. Heavy supply truck and the ASV-AX Supply Vehicle. Also finished scrapping all of the outpost, silos, and radar stations this week. Excepting Panama HQ. I'm going to use that as a training post/rest and repair facility for the upcoming invasion.

Economy is Profit of 2.07M, at first I read this wrong and thought I was making 2B profit. Not funny when I realized the truth. Trade is -1,190M, ouch. Tax Rate is 46.5%, Inflation is up to 3.6% and Unemployment is 5.7%. GDP/c 21,344 and trending down. Uh? Must have been a small jump when I wasn't looking.

Began talking to the rest of the world. Mainly offering them money for tech I'm too lazy to research. Lets see, got Reactive Armor, ER-MLRS, ERFB-BB, and V-LAP for 10,700M. Yes, I know that I overpayed, but I didn't feel like arguing with the rest of the world, so I just applied some grease to the wheels. Okay lets see Profit is 22.79M, Trade is -1,516M, Tax Rate is 46.5%, Inflation is 3.6% and Unemployment 5.6%. Checked my artillery stats for M77E1 and saw that with the new tech it can shoot 105km. Which just happens to be the distance from LA PALMA to the first SA units on their side of the border. Began construction of an emplacement directly across from them. After its completed I plan on moving the Garrison and hopefully by that time, AT-14E and 100mm AA gun into the emplacement. I'll put the M77E1 and the MIM-120 in LA PALMA. Not much, but its only there to slow them down if they attack before I'm ready.

July 12, 2020

I've been busy with the diplomats this week. Let's see, now have full transit rights with Europe along with an Embassy. They won't let me have a defense treaty or full alliance with them. Africa rejects every attempt I make, and I don't care about the rest of the world. So, kinda disappointing really. I was going to use Europe as an advanced training center once Russia declared war on them. Oh well. Began training up the US 1st Army Engineer Heavy Corp. 5 Divisions of 6 ATTC Bronco Engineers (overstrengthed), 1 Division of 4 SA-20 400 Triumf and 2 M163 Vulcan, and 1 Division of 6 Supply Trucks (os).

My economy continues to struggle alone Profit -548.89, Trade
-1,714M, Tax Rate 46.5%, Inflation 3.7%, Unemployment 5.5%, and GDP/c 21,338 and going up.

Once there, you have to find a host site and upload the picture to it.Than you can link that picture on the site to your post.

Good thing for those generals that BG didnt put in that "execute" feature for our advisors eh ?
It would only of than been a short step from knocking off your advisors to your generals :P

Morning all, okay back to the game. And thanks for the quick response tkobo.

July 19, 2020

Looked at Commerce and saw that I was still underproducing ore (please be gentle about the next step, I was playing at 4 am and had just woken up) so I decided to build approx 46 more mines. In my defense I'm used to playing the America vs World scenario as Europe. My M77E1 finished and was sent to LA PALMA. Let's see "shuffles through notes" Profit -867.34M, Trade -1,906M, Tax Rate still 46.5%, Inflation is 3.8%(at what point do I really become concerned about this? Usually start taking steps at 15-18%), Unemployment at 5.4%, and GDP/c 21,409 and rising.

July 26, 2020

Emplacement was completed and Garrison unit ordered down as per plan. The Supply Division was completed for the 1st Enginner Corp and was ordered down to CINCO ESQUINAS (x158, y233). Profit -945.65M, Trade -143.69M, Tax Rate 46.5%, Inflation 3.8%, Unemployment 5.3%, GDP/c 21,463 and still rising. I'm losing money like a leaky dam and the average paycheck is increasing!!!

August 9, 2020

Was scrolling through my bases and noticed two not training anything, had to fix that. Ordered 12 M3A4 Recon Units. Noticed for the first time that I was overproducing ore by over 200k. Figured out what happened and after I stopped beating my head on the wall, decided to just let it ride out. Switched to full export and 120% of demand. Profit -909.21M, Trade -388.31M, Tax 46.5%, Inflation 4.0%, Unemployment 5.2%, GDP/c 21,562 and still RISING!!! My treasury is down to about 60B at this point.

August 16, 2020

Profit -1,180M, Trade 199.5M (Electricity and some ore), Tax Rate 46.5%, Inflation 4.0%, Unemployment 5.1%, GDP/c 21,681 and, as usual at this point, still rising.

August 23, 2020

AT-14E completed and sent to the emplacement. Profit -1,172M, Trade -1,478M, Tax Rate 46.5%, Inflation 4.1%, Unemployment 5.1%, GDP/c 21,681 and rising.

August 20, 2020

Sorry about the noise, my Army generals are still throwing a party. The 30 Engineers I had ordered are done and now they think that we're back in the war game. Sent all of the ATTC Bronco's up to the Synthfuel plants to hurry production along and then plan on using them to finish building up the Industrial goods, and Commercial goods factories. Began training the US 1st Mech/Armor Corp- 12 M2A3 Bradleys, 6 M1A3 Abrams, 4 M109A7 Paladin's, 2 SA-20 400s, 1 MIM-120G, 1 M163, and 4 Heavy Supply Vechicles. Also, since some of my research was completing, began researching the F-15K Eagle (I intend to phase this out when I can produce F-22D). Profit -3,277M, Trade -1,512M, Tax Rate 46.6%, Inflation 4.1%, Unemployment 5.0%, and GDP/c 21,774 and rising.

Fire next batch of Air Force Generals who are complaining that all they have to play with are the 12 new Mi-26 Halos. Sent all of them to the SA border area as the first step in my logistical support plan. Began training 6 F-18/C and 6 FB-111F F/B Squadrons. All my Air units are at max strength unless otherwise noted. All right, Upgrade Manufacturing compled, so I started Advanced Recycling II which means that I need to actually start on the prereq Consumer Recycling. The first 35 Synthfuel plants are done being built. Don't build any more for right now, although plan on building around another 70 as time/funds permit. Profit -4,112M, Trade -1,067M, Tax Rate 46.6%, Inflation 4.3%, Unemployment 4.9%, GDP/c 21,985 and climbing.

September 13, 2020

COMAVAGUA Field (my new AB) is complete, so I immediatly order 2 SR-71 and 1 E-8. Also order 6 JASSM and 2 more Tactical Tomhawks and 2 more M-40 NTACMS. Advanced Construction is done being researched, so I start Urban Heat Exchangers and Modern Naval Electronics. Profit
-1,136M, Trade 2,152M, Tax Rate 46.6%, Inflation 4.3%, Unemployment 4.9%, GDP/c 21,992 and still climbing.

Spetember 20, 2020

MIM-120G completed and deployed to LA PALMA. Ordered 7 more Synthfuel Plants. Finally, finished building 12 Bats of M3A4s. That at least gives me a rapid response force. Ordered them south to Panama HQ to begin their advanced training cycle (Leadership, Wargames, and Simulations). Upgraded Panama HQ to a small base and sent 1 Division of ATTCs down to speed up the process. Puerto Cortes, my new port, completed and I immdediatly ordered 6 CV-63s. Yes, I know that they are obsolete but, they only take a little over a year to build, are realitively cheap and have decent range. I plan on replacing all of my carriers with either CVN-79s or CVN-80s later. Ordered 2 Divisions (6 each) of M8 Ridgeway Tanks. 1st Mech Armor Corp's Artillery Division is complete so I ordered them down to SAN JOSE AFB to await the rest of the corp. Then I'll train it as one unit. Ordered 1 more Division of M8s.
Profit -2,877M, Trade 2,206M, Tax Rate 46.6, Inflation 4.4, Unemployment 4.8, and GDP/c 22,109 and climbing.

October 4, 2020

Moved all SSBNs and CVNs to Purto Cortes. I then began the lengthy process of loading the SSBNs with BGM-109D Tomahawks. 3 E-2Cs were completed and I sent them to COMVAGUA FIELD for advanced training, then ordered three more. Profit -3,286M, Trade 2,432M, Tax Rate 48.9, Inflation 4.6, Unemployment 4.7, and GDP/c 22,324 climbing.

October 18, 2020

PANAMA HQ finished upgrading and I immediatly ordered all 12 Battalions of M3A4s to begin training. Also ordered PANAMA HQ to begin constuction of 1 Heavy Supply, 1 ASV-AX, and 1 M60-AVLB as continous, no deploy. Profit -1,943M, Trade 3,473M, Tax Rate 56.8, Inflation 4.6, Unemployment 4.7, GDP/c 22,392 and falling. Also ordered 1 SSBN to load with Tactical Tomahawk missiles and moved it to approx 500 miles of the radar station located at the northern part of SA.

Octobor 25, 2020

Consumer Recycling finished being researched. 2 Divisions of M2A3s finished and moved south to join the Arty Division. Ordered 6 more LOSATs. Increased the settings on Enviromental, Family Subsidy, Law Enforcement, and Cultural Subsidy to recommended levels. This still left me with enough extra income to increase the research budget by 1,800M. Research done on the F-15K so I began research on M2A4 IFV.
Profit -3,857M, Trade 4,878M, Tax Rate 57.4, Inflation 4.5, Unemployment 4.7, GDP/c 22,266 and falling.

November 1, 2020

Urban Heat Exchangers completed and Augument Reality research begun. Africa, in a surprise move, DOW on Europe. Usually its Russia or the Middle East first. Profit -4,076M, Trade 5,284M, Tax Rate 57.4, Inflation 4.5, Unemployment 4.7, GDP/c 22,240 and falling.

November 8, 2020

Ordered the construction of 7 more Synthfuel Plants. Only 48 more to go. 21st Century Naval Vessels research completed, started the research on Zims and the Texas. 1st Mech Armor Corp SAM Division deployed and sent south. 22 SSN-774s completed and sent south to begin training. Ordered 8 DD963 and 10 LHD-1s. Saved the rest of the slots for when the Zims/Texas are done researching. 9 F-14Ds deployed and, you guessed it, sent south for training. Ordered 6 more F-14Ds and 3 F-15Ks.

November 15, 2020

1st Mech/Armor Corp Armor Division completed and sent south to train at Panama HQ. 6 LOSATs completed and sent to RAMA to await rest of 1st Airborne Corp. Started construction on 2nd Mech/Armor Corp (12 M2A3s, 6 Thunderbolt AGS, 2 SA-20 400, 1 MIM-120G, 1 M163, and 2 Heavy Supply, will start the 4 M109A7s and 2 more Heavy Supply when a base becomes available). Russia DOW on Europe. Tried again to get a mutual defense pact with Europe, was refused. As soon as all the units from 1st Mech/Armor Corp arrived near Panama HQ, began their advanced training.

November 22, 2020

Zimwalts done being researched, so I ordered 3 of them along with one Arleigh Burke 71. Consumer Recycling finished and I started on Biologically Based Textiles. The Texas class cruiser completed its research and I started the E-9 Recon. Middle East DOW on Europe. Tried yet again for a MDP, but was refused due to lack of diplomatic intrest.

November 29, 2020

Augumented Reality completed, started on Energy Conservation. M2A4 IFV finished and I started the XM-2001 Crusader. After this post I'll only post about once every game month.

December

As you can see from the picture, I've begun moving SSBNs into their pre-strike positions. The current plan is to use 12 SSBNs to launch BGM-109Ds at the six closest airfields to the Intial Point of Contact, to help slow down the SA air response. This will, of course allow me to dominate the air over the battlefield, lowering my casualties and increasing theirs.
Synthfuel Plants done so I ordered another 7. Only 41 more to go. Had some extra cash on hand and invested another 1.8B in research. Moved 2 SSBNs loaded with UGM-84Gs to within 210k of the sea port of BARRANQUILLE.
12 M8 completed and ordered south to join the LOSATs already down there. Ordered the constuction of 2nd Mech/Armor's Artillery Division. Biological Based Textiles completed so I started Waste Managment III. The XM2001 also finished and I started the LAV-600. The 12 M3A4's finished their advanced training so I moved them down to CHITRE. 8 SSBN-726s completed and ordered south to Porto Cortes to begin their advanced training. Also three E-2Cs finished their training and I ordered them onboard a CVN-68.
Ordered 4 each of AOE-1 and LPD-17. Scrapped 7 extra sea piers and plan on scrapping more as I find the time. Also plan on scrapping some airstrips. Yeah, reached tech level 108. The E-9 finished being researched so I started the V-27 for heavy airtransport and supply.
12 747-400ERs finished, a vital component to my plan for invasion. With them I plan on seizing key points with the finished 1st Airborne Armor Corp, the planned 2nd Airborne Armor Corp, and the planned 1st Airborne Infantry Corp. Does anyone know of a decent Airdrop capable Mech infantry unit? I usually use the M113A3. Ordered the 747s into reserve at COMVAGUA FIELD for now.
Placed an order for 6 more F-15K and another 3 each of FB-111F, F/A-18Cs. 2 SR-71 finished and I began training on one. The other one was sent to Europe to snoop around and see what those 4 countries are using. 2 B-2As began construction.
