06 Jan 1941: I have a bad feeling about Yugoslavia. I'm forced onto the defensive from the very beginning. I choose Hermann Göring because of his +10% Air Superiority. 08 Jan 1941: Research has been completed on the Junkers Ju 87 G 'Kanonenvogel '. I select the Army Doctrine Schwerpunkt next. Now that looks a lot better. My newly created Armee Ukraine. 16 Jan 1941: Finally, Fuel Refining II has completed research. I should have had this a year ago, I select Improved Infantry Equipment II next. That'll give all my Infantry a +5% attack bonus. My current Research. I create a Bf 109 A version of my old fighter. I don't want to throw them all out just because the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 is now in production. They have performed well in recent years. There will be 865 available for conversion. 20 Jan 1941: I begin upgrading my Air Wings to a compliment of 100 aircraft in each wing. 21/22 Jan 1941: A new standard Luftwaffe-wide. 23 Jan 1941: I also want my pilots fully-train

13 Dec 1940: I was right. Estonia is not an Axis nation therefore Haussers's 8th Army can go elsewhere. I ask the Russian Empire for Garrison support. 14 Dec 1940: They offer 1.1 million Manpower! My Panzers are using up too much Fuel so I order them to halt north of Moscow.  Key deficits everywhere. I place all my Air Wings on standby.... ....and transfer some to to southern Germany. The Resistance levels are disastrous. Only time AND peace will fix this. I can't remember annexing Murmansk but it's mine so I send a 6 division Garrison force there. At least it has low Resistance levels. I ask the Turkish Empire for Docking Rights in the hope that I can send ships into the Black Sea. Yugoslavia is being attacked in the north and from Albania in the south. Docking rights are granted but I can't enter the Black Sea. Maybe it needs more time so I'll try later. 16 Dec 1940: I'm renaming and reorganizing most of my armies but I'm not going to bore you with every c

09 Dec 1940: I have less problems with Resistance because most of it is not in Germany. I'm not sure why Harju is shown because Estonia is not part of the Reich. I remind the Dutch again. Why is the UK playing this silly game? I decide to send an Expedition Force to Yugoslavia - 4 divisions are permitted. I assign 50 Bf 109s and 60 Stukas for Air Support.... ....then offer the force to Prince Paul. The force is accepted and is on its way. 11 Dec 1940: There are three nations in the Latin Entente. Italy appears to be the chief warmonger. They are now planning to attack Greece. I believe that the UK won't appreciate that. They like Germany more than we like them (-5 versus -50). Next is France. The most powerful of the three with the Maginot Line protecting them from Germany. The people don't like the idea of war though: 29% Stability and 34% War Support. Finally Spain, still recovering from a long Civil War. They think highly of us - after all we did help them win the war. I
