Image
08 Jul 1936: I transfer these to Marineschule Kiel for Naval Exercises. The Emden too. 12 Jul 1936: I add 2 MIF's to my Construction queue. I expand the Gebirgs-Brigade to a Gebirgs-Division. I add 2 x Gebirgs-Battalionen.... ....plus an Engineer Company and a Motorized Recon Company. That looks a lot better. I change the division's name.... ....and change the name of the already deployed Brigade. Finally I place it in training. 16 Jul 1936: Done. 17 Jul 1936: The Spanish Civil War begins. The two opposing forces. I won't be sending volunteers to help the Nationalists. Let Italy do that. 26 Jul 1936: Great news. That didn't take long. 29 Jul 1936: Also the Focus Concentrated Armaments Program  has been completed. I select Establish the Reichswerke  next. That gives 2 more CIF's and an Excavation  bonus. I also remind the Dutch again. The UK isn't reacting. In my Panzer-Division template I now have enough Trucks to change a Kavallerie Battalion to a Motorized Inf...

Germany - My Plans For Poland - 06 Jul to 08 Jul 1936

Image
06 Jul 1936: Now that I have my economy running I can adjust a few things. I remind the Dutch again. This needs to be 4. Panzer-Division. Next I change the names of my two Flottillen. Less to write. I want to upgrade Type II U-Booten to the Type VII standard so that they are not trash. I upgrade to Engine II.... ....and they need 2 x Torpedo Tubes II. Its MIO is HDW. That name is a bit silly so I'll change it. There are 2 U-Booten which can be upgraded so I do so. Now I can justify the War Goal for Poland. It will take 250 days. Plenty of time for more preparations and worst of winter is over in March. My Naval Bombers need Pilot Exercises. Three Armies so three plans. My Flammpanzer is coming along fine. It will soon be ready for production. 08 Jul 1936: My Support Equipment is always a problem. Good. My 2 Type II A's are queued for upgrade. I need more Dockyards. I order Pilot Exercises for 2 Geschwader in Königsberg.  I need to read more about Research Facilities. I'm su...

12 Jun 1936: I deploy 5 Infantrie-Divisionen early.... ....then place them in training. I assign U-28 and U-29 to II. U-Boots-Gruppe.... ....then assign the Panzerschifff Admiral Graf Spee and the Destroyer Möwe to Ostseeflotte. 15 Jun 1936: I order Naval Exercises for 6 Type II U-Booten. I remind the Dutch again. 17 Jun 1936: Research has been completed on Basic Machine Tools .... ....and I select Concentrated Industry I  next. 24 Jun 1936: The Focus Establish Production Targets .... ....and I select Concentrated Armament Program  next. 30 Jun 1936: I assign 6 trained Infanterie-Divisionen to Armee Ostpreussen. I convert Kawallerie Commando Insterberg to a Panzer-Division.... ....then place it in training. The current Panzer-Division is Panzer-heavy.... ....so I remove a Panzer Battalion and add 2 x Kawallerie Battalionen. 03-06 Jul 1936: I place all 4 of my Panzer-Divisionen. Armee Ostprussen now has 10 Divisionen. My Army, Panzer snd Aircraft production. We have a large Pan...
