### Dec 21 2026###
Victory
With the capture of the capital city of Santiago Chile officials are forced to surrender.

###Dec 7###
Victory
PEACE
After moving its capital down to Rio Grande, Argentina officials met today and decided to surrender to the US. This brings peace to the US's front door, However knowing that many axis of evil still lay on the new borders of the US, it knows peace may not last long. This does not bring an end to WW3 thow as many countries are still at war, mainly in Africa thow. President Ruges pressures these countries to end its wars. Or it will intervene as it did in South America.

Below is the remaining countries at war.



Less then 100 nations remain in the UN.

###Dec 15 2026###
WAR
Uruagry has declared war on the US. Mobile ground forces already stationed on the border of the country begin to move in.

###Dec 16###
Victory
Peace
Less then 24 hours after Uruguary declared war on the US, American forces began surrounding the capital with an aggresive stance. See how there military was utterly destroyed withen the first 20 hours, Urugarian officials have decided to cease all aggressions and surrender to the capturing US forces. 1 US captured Agentina sub was destroyed when it was forced out of dry dock. Over 100 Urugain units where destroyed.

###Feb 20 2027###
Not a whole lot to report over the last 2 months. have been working on repairing all the units in the South American campaign. All are repaired except a few F-127's that went to repair in low supply area's. All ground units in the campaign are sitting in old Venezulia awaiting orders to load into thier designated AABG's. Spies have been sent out across Africa at key military facilities to gather intel in the region. 1 spy was killed from bombardment damage in Guian Besenia, from Guinia. Captured units have been sent to several allies who promptly send them out on defense dutties in an over populated area.

### Mar 27 2027###
Not much to report over the last month. The US has been enjoying its peace. It has even recalled the battle hardend mobile infantry from Europe. Leaving less then 10,000 troops to defend Asia and Europe. 10 Ruges Class CVN's are exspected to come out of dry dock and begin thier military service in the next week. This ships will hold the most advanced stealth CV's the 173rd class. The AABG's in south america have begun loading up thier hardware in preperation to head to designated hot zones. CBG-3 is ready to take on its squadrons and head to africa. A new major airfield is almost finished in Natal, which will have the capabilities to easily support the US's bomber groups in efforts to strike hostile African nations. The US is under allot of pressure from the UN to bring peace to the waring nations of Africa. In acord with the UN wishes the US has ordered Ghana to end its hostilies in the region or face military aciton.

###May 5###
US CBG's and AABG's leave South American ports for the coast of Ghana with an estimated 2 million US soilders. President Ruges demands all hostilies in the african continent cease.

###May 10 ###
US raises DEFCON lvl to 2

###May 17###
WAR
US Declares war on Ghana. US bomber groups begin targeting military hardware. Battleships let loose massive barrages.


###May 22###
All Ghana military hardware has been destroyed. Ghanan officials refuse to surrender. US has total air domanence over the region. Ground forces are still aboard transport ships awaiting the order to disembark. Generals still feel Ghana should surrender without ground force interdiction.

[Ruges]

Bleh misclicked and lost my post. will just give you the basic rundown, I went in with ground troops and destroyed Ghana in 24 hours once the first soilder touched the ground. Its been a week now and none of my new neighbors have declared war on me like I suspected they would do. I landed support vehicles consisting of transport trucks and AA. Enginiers are on thier way, new airfields and supply systems are being built. a massive spy network has been unleashed on Africa. Probly around 150 spies have been sent to varies points of interest. This should aid in bombing as we goto war. Also every pier has a spy so my subpacks should make easy work of clearing any enemy ships loitering without the need for air survalance. Atleast until I can get a decent coverage of the area. Although I might pass on full coverage, Africa is probly the hardest shaped and sized area to monitor with patrol craft. Plus I am already keeping tabs on the Atlantic and Pacific ocean. AABG2 and 3 are still fully loaded waiting for somthing to happen. with AABG1 mobile infantry unloaded and half its air calvery at shore, A few helo's took heavy damage, but noone where destroyed.

[catatonic]

Did your Scoreboard say that the USW had 6770 missile fabs?

[Ruges]

Did your Scoreboard say that the USW had 6770 missile fabs?

Yes, Well acualy it is only 677. But with 1.44 each fab does 10 missles each. So I can produce up to 6770 missles at a time.

[catatonic]

You don't seem to mention anything about supply units - air, land or sea.
Do you use them at all?
How do you mount a successful amphib attack in China without supply?

[Ruges]

I do have supply trucks and supply airplanes and ships. However they dont play as active of a role as they can. This is mainly becouse I use units like the XAV. This unit has an amazing amount of supply capacity So they can move great distances, and does not need tobe supplied all that often. And since I usualy have missles clearning out the hard targets, my ground units only have to fight garrisions mainly meaning they use even less supply. So they hop from city to city, which is supply hex to supply hex.

I like to keep supply ships with my fleets. even thow the carriers already have thier own cargo cap, I like to have the xtra supply with them just in case (and it has been needed before). Also with my battleship fleets I always have a supply ship with them. keeps them firing nonstop. I also like to have supply trucks escorting my AA and arty units, so they too can fire faster. I also keep cargo planes for those emergency times.

When I first went into china, the eastern side has allot of cities so it was easy to keep nateraul supply up. When I got to western china, I was also fighting in South asia and India. this caused my western china boarder to halt. giving me time to build some supply deopots and roads to keep the area supplied. I build a ton of roads as I am capturing these low supply area's. When I moved into Russia. I had allot of issue with keeping my units in supply. even my XAV's where having to pause. The stratagy I used here was have the XAV's rush every supply source they could. this would stop the spread of russian supply and slowly give the land back to me. But this proved a very slow method, and the land was so large and spread out. If I used more supply units I beleive I could have taken it faster. But I had allot of other stuff going on at the time to keep me occupied, So I was happy with the pace.

When I got into eastern europe, the cities where close to each other again, so no supply units where really needed.

My south american campaign I used allot of supply aircraft. I lost a few too. My units where rushing so hard supply was having a very hard time keeping up, and my units where sucking down the supply. Also in this theatre I was not using the XAV's as much as they where still in europe. I was using the Slav4-III's. while stronger units, they dont have the same supply benifiets the XAV's have. (and personaly I think the XAV's do better in combat becouse of this supply thing then the Slavs). But yea I was using my cargo planes allot here, The problem with them is they get shot at all to easily. I think I had around 30 of them in the theatre, with 3 or 4 going to each brigade. and then falling back to refuel and rearm when the ground units where in heavy combat area's. But again my stratagy is to take the supply sources and build up roads and supply depots quickly.

everytime I conqure a new country I build a road on its border and then criss cross the interior, placing supply depots in strategic locations. I try to keep 90+ percent supply in all my region. I should post some pictures of my supply network.

In my african campaign I have sent a large supply truck BG. while mainly there incase the AA or arty need them. I have put them on AI control. which should cause the AI to send them to units that are in need. But still I will need to watch them and make sure they dont get into any trouble. Plus I have my air supply units ready to head from south america to Africa once my new airfield (a series of 7 airfields) has been complieted.

[catatonic]

I hate to be a pest but this is a cool example of an AAR. I am trying to grasp the details so that I can convey them to the readers of Strategy section of the Wiki manual.

You don't talk much about how you pay for all of this - 677 missile fabs, 18 new shipyards, a trillion buck gift to Israel.

I'm wondering how you were ready to conquer the world in the first year.

You did mention selling a bond issue. Are you in deeply debt?
Do you trade with your allies? Trade techs and commodities to turn a buck?

Are you self-sufficient?

Didn't you have to build a lot of new electric plants and consumer goods factories when you took China?

What did you do with the thousands of units that you must have aquried when you took China and Russia?

How on earth do you get a DAR of 75%? I only ever got to 35%.

[Ruges]

I am getting better at this whole AAR thing. I think when I do my next one, I will make it more of a learning exsperience for the reader instead of a news report type AAR like this one.

I did play this game starting with no debt, as I did not want to spend the first few years doing nothing but repaying debt. As for current funds. I have found a good way to manage my economy to get a massive income. However it took a bit to get to where I am now. Basicaly its what I tax. I should post some pictures of this too. I am acualy on a decline right now. But this is becouse I am trying to finish up my research. only a few things left that I am going for. Once that is complete I should be able to stop all spending on research which will bring me somthing like an aditional 8 percent anual income or like 35 trillion. However when I bring my defcon up to 1 right now I loose like 15 trillion a year. But I will probly lower taxes once research is done, thats the promise to my peoples.

However if I remember correctly, early on in the game I believe I had to buy some bonds to jump start my economy. Exporting oil and consumer goods.

after I conqured china I dont think I acualy ran into the issue of acualy running out of a resource. however I did prepare and had allot of water and electricity plants being built. There where a couple times when I did massive buys on resources threw the market to keep my country instock. Although electricity is again one of my countries concerns. (infact a world concern as the world prices has skyrockted). But I have allot of power plants being built. And looking at it, I am hoping they will come online at the same time my reserves start to run out. as it will be difficult to buy off the WM.

While I have given tech money and resources to other countries, I dont think I ever really sold it. (well I think I sold some resources early on for cash, and I did do the whole loan thing for a bit). But I never did the sell a tech to every country type thing to support my economy. early on in the game I horded my tech. Only giving some military techs to Isreal and South Korea.

Yea I became self sufficient early on. And I try to maintain it. However my agriculter price is currently costing me more to produce then it is to buy off the market. I keep telling myself I want to turn the agriculter sector into an import buisness. But it seems like everytime I turn around and build a new industrial complex I am puting agriculture on the hex too. (I always strive to have 6 facilities on a hex, as I believe only have 1 to 3 is not cost effective as you have to pay for the hub still). Infact when I first started adding new structures in my game, I only added them to existing structures. which had two effects. One it did not raise my costs as much and Two they built faster.

I give all my captured units away. (probly why my game is running so slow. as all the units I give away and then deployed by my allies). You should see denmark, they get all my captured garrisions. (thousands of them). They have about twice as many hexes full of units as hexes they own, They also get all the artilary and leged infantry along with recon units. France gets all the planes and subs. Isreal gets all the ships excepts subs, they also get all the mobile infantry, and usualy tanks too, but somtimes I will send the tanks to anouther country. But really I dont get many tanks, as they seemed to get destroyed when I conqure the country. Also like I said in my AAR, Isreal usualy gets my hand me down units. Several of my allies have also goten random donations. Sweeden I believe has all of my UAW's. Tiawan got allot of interceptors. japan got allot of amphib transports.

As for my DAR being that high. my people love me. I even had it up to 100 percent once. I believe what happens is that when you conqure a country that your people dislike. your people like you more. Or when you conqure a country that has declared war on you, your people like you more. Although its kinda quick love, as it quickly starts to drop back down. I think I am back down to around 40-50 percent right now. But that should rise with the wars in Africa. And over the last few months I have been able to max out my social spending. But I will either have to cut that or research soon, now that I am at war and have to start funding my defcon and military higher with the war in Africa.

[Ruges]

Did your Scoreboard say that the USW had 6770 missile fabs?

Also if you look at page 3 of this AAR towards the bottom I posted a screen of my missle fab area. (although I do have more scattered around the world) this is just my main missle area. I even posted a list of the missles I was producing. Although since then I have canceled the production of about 6,000 GLM-177E Fire. In preperation to being production a nuclear arsonel.

[tkobo]

Your screenshots are very well setup,making the information very understandable.And its a good read to boot.

[catatonic]

I am surprised by your extravagant use of conventional Trident ICBMs. They are among the costliest and longest to build non-nuke missile units in the game.

How are your other modded super-missiles working out? How effective are they on the battlefield in terms of stealth and damage? Against AA sites, fortifications and armor?

Your MilCap is strongly biased towards missile production. I this for CB reasons? I understand that they do not count towards MilCap CB.

You must still have the highest MilCap in the game. Does this CB hurt you? I can see that you are still in the UN, despite your war record.

[Ruges]

I am surprised by your extravagant use of conventional Trident ICBMs. They are among the costliest and longest to build non-nuke missile units in the game.

In the above picture of the missle attack, those are not acualy Trident missles. They are the MGM-80 thermobatic missles. A land based missle. I think I posted the stats a bit back. They are costly and do have a long build time. I but they work wonders on soft targets, And are very effective at clearing entire stacks of units. If you notice I sent those missles towards the heavy stacks of units in the south while sending the smaller precision missles at single units instead.

How are your other modded super-missiles working out? How effective are they on the battlefield in terms of stealth and damage? Against AA sites, fortifications and armor?

I dont really have super missiles per say. Sure they are advanced, but they are balanced to what tech level they are. Infact allot of the missles I added are much weaker then the advanced missles BG added.

Your MilCap is strongly biased towards missile production. I this for CB reasons? I understand that they do not count towards MilCap CB.

The reason I have such a large miscap is becouse of the way the game handles missles. the units like to spray and prey with missles. Everyone of those missles will probly end up getting used by the time I finish with my african campaign. I also dont like to micromanage my air carried missles, I let the units themselfs target specific units. Even so I am short on sub missles. still need a 155 days till my Tap missles are come off the assembline. and then I will have like 10,000 of them. which hopfully should last me the next 3 years while more build.

You must still have the highest MilCap in the game. Does this CB hurt you? I can see that you are still in the UN, despite your war record.

Yes, pretty much everyone that is not my ally has 100 percent CB against me. Even thow I have only declared war like what 3 times? Only thing that is keeping my allies allies is I play at Very easy diplo becouse it lowers AI relations with each other.

###July 7 2027###

No fighter squadrons are in the area at the moment, however CBG-4 is taking on its remaining fighter squads off the coast of Florida to give assitance to the east African theatre. Although it may be as much as a month before they reach the area. Some AA from the west african theatre may be called to the scene if heavy air resitance is spoted.
