It was hard to argue with his skills though, particularly when he adjusted the Army's logistical system to reduce wasted supplies.Д®arly in the year MacArthur ordered all air wings and all ships to congregate in San Diego. In a move that many people scoffed at MacArthur lobbied for and had himself appointed as Chief of the Army as well. He pressed Douglas MacArthur into service as a bureaucrat as the Chief of Staff to implement some new training methods in order to churn better troops out. At the beginning of 1936 Roosevelt shuffled his cabinet slightly to begin to redirect America's efforts towards defense. They must push forward important projects and somehow spin them so that they were not met with dissent from the American people. These men banded together and decided to try to figure out a way to trick the American public into preparing for war - a war they predicted would come from the far East. There was a faction within the upper echelon of the staff that predicted that war would come to America, whether she wanted to believe it or not.

Possibly even before the elections set for November of that year.ДЄs such, the US was forced to continue its isolationist policies. Roosevelt knew that any major spending on anything besides domestic issues would likely have him thrown out of office. Whether or not Roosevelt agreed with them did not matter the American public was interested only in solving their own problems. Parts of Roosevelt's staff were already ringing warning bells about the aggression of some nations on the planet, particularly the Japanese. The beginning of 1936 was a trying time for the US, particularly for the top decision makers. Normal difficulty, easy hard Japan, wimpy Pacific (the struck through settings were the game settings for my last game, where this happened), normal Soviets, normal hard Germans, normal hard Italy easy Black Ice Difficulty. I'm playing TFH 4.02 with Black Ice 6.21. Of course, any feedback is greatly appreciated.

If you know how to use GIMP and see me doing silly things around these parts, feel free to educate me (or point me towards some educational material). I'm certainly no graphic artist, but I'm going to try to make some decent screenshots or combinations of screen shots to make things a little more exciting around here. I think this will end up being a History Book style, although who knows, maybe I'll switch up part way through, maybe I'll have a post or two from different view points. Feel free to tell my why my division make up is sub-optimal (analysis or links to analysis would be great) but don't get upset if I don't change it. I suppose we'll mostly be talking about techs and build queues.

I'll likely try to get us to Dec 1941 fairly quickly, although the Black Ice mod does add some interesting decisions for the US early on.

#HOI3 BLACK ICE 9 UPDATE#

I'll aim for an update every 1-2 weeks or so. I'll be posting updates as I play, although to be honest I don't have a set schedule. Could be a short one if I lose Midway, Guam, Wake and Attu in February of '42.

I'm also not sure how any of those tactics work in Black Ice. I'm not a min-maxer, but I don't mind taking advantage of some game tactics here and there. Well, that and I've been trying out the Black Ice mod and have been getting fairly hilariously stomped in the Pacific by AI Japan, so I figured I'd put it out there for the world to see.

So, this will be my first AAR - I've been playing the game for a while (since HOI 1 actually), although I haven't been playing much lately (XCOM took over all my gaming time for quite a while.) Anyway, I've been enjoying some other AAR's these days, so figured I'd put one together.
