Germany - Upgrading the Wehrmacht - 19 Jul to 28 Aug 1939
19 Jul 1939: It's time to upgrade my Panzer II A tanks. I give the same gun and engine as the Panzer
III A as well as more MG's, smoke launchers and extra armour.
There are already 608 available and more will arrived as they are replace by the Panzer III A'sI adjust my Panzer production. The 1774 total light tanks includes other models. A formidable force.
I need more Tungsten so I import it from Norway this time.
20 Jul 1939: The battleship Gneisenau has joined the Scharnhorst in training.
23 Jul 1938: My Research - next month I shall be receiving the 1940 Cruiser Hull and the MP 38.
25 Jul 1939: I reduce my Sicherungs-Divisionen from 6 battalions of infantry to 4 battalions. That will save manpower.
26 Jul 1939: The 7. Panzer-Division is fully-trained and I assign it to 1. Panzerarmee.
Six Sicherungs-Divisionen have been deployed and I place them in training.
I now start recruiting 10 divisions per batch.
28 Jul 1939: I send a Lend Lease package to Greece....
....and they accept. The material is good enough to fight the Yugoslavians.
04 Aug 1939: Sweden can't supply the Tungsten I require....
....so I import it from Portugal and the British Empire instead.
The British amphibious assault (green) in Romania appears to have gained a foothold.
06 Aug 1939: I don't need to build anymore Convoys at the moment. I can use those three Dockyards in the production of Capital Ships.
My current Naval production plus new 1940 Destroyers.
I need more Chromium which I import from Greece.
I can select a new Air Doctrine so I take Direct Ground Support.
10 Aug 1939: I create two new Air Wings at Lwów.
16 Aug 1939: The 1940 Cruiser Hull has been researched....
....and I select Advanced Armour Protection next.
18 Aug 1939: Forces of the British Empire are at the gates of Bucharest.
23 Aug 1939: Now they have to deal with a Civil War in India.
My Focus Reichsautobahn has completed....
....and I select German War Economy next which gives me 6 more Military Factories.
28 Aug 1939: We have completed researching MP 38....
....and I choose to research Advanced Engine next.
My current Research projects. I have all the bits and pieces except for a new Tank Gun.
My Logistics table with Support Equipment being the only problem zone.
My Construction queue. I have enough Civilian Factories (58) but I could use more Military Factories and more importantly I need to improve the Infrastructure in Poland and Eastern Europe.
Finally the Global Summary and I have just realized that I have more divisions than the Russians, more aircraft and more than twice as many factories. Their war against Japan is taking its toll.
I guess that time is on my side. Maybe I should consider sending Japan some Lend Lease.
