November 1935
France surrenders; another 3 colonies for the Kaiser. Did I mention that he likes collecting colonies?

October 1936
Our only real threats are USA and Britain. Also, we are behind in aircraft carriers. Our plan therefore is to build a CV, then a 90,000 ton super battlecruiser, then more CVs.

BC Sanssouci
The 90,000 ton Sanssouci is based on the Friedrich but with an extra X turret. It is intended to counter the 70,000 ton battleships the Japanese are building.

April 1940
Tensions have risen with Russia so I have increased readiness on all the fleet. The Sanssouci class BCs will soon be finished. I don't think Russia will be enormously hard to beat.

May 1940
We are at war with Russia. Our destroyers have attacked a Russian airfield that was in the Gulf of Finland. I'm not sure how they did that.

September 1943
In other news, Kaiser Wilhelm II has sadly died and will be missed by all. The new Kaiser, Wilhelm III, is interested in football and is also a warmonger. [modelled in game by choosing the most tension-increasing option in events]
Wilhelm III has ordered the construction of 3 new battleships. The Weiss class battleships are similar to the Weissenburgs, but with heavier AA, electro-optical directors, and with armour concentrated over the magazines.

September 1944
The Kaiser said in a press conference that Italy was "a sh1th0le of a country, with a worthless navy to boot". I felt it my duty to agree. I think this might start a war.

March 1945
We have declared war on Italy. The Kaiser has asked me to invade Albania. This is intended to force the Italian navy to fight.

April 1945
We have sunk over 100 enemy merchant ships. It is likely that our submarines will force the Italians to capitulate.

May 1945 - the destruction of the Italian fleet
Our navy engaged the Italian fleet while on a mission to bombard the Albanian coast. The Italian fleet suffered heavy losses, with all ships sunk except for those that wisely stayed in port.
The "best shooting" award goes to the BC Sanssouci, with 81 main armament hits.

Did you mod the game?

Yes it uses the mod for larger AI player battleships. Makes fighting late game battles more interesting.

June 1945 - the invasion of Albania
For the invasion of Albania, the fleet is split up into 4 groups. From left to right they are:
The Scouting Force: the powerful BCs Cabatirpitz and Friedrich.
The Main Fleet: 5 BB/BC
The Invasion force: 7 troop transports
The Carrier Force: 3 aircraft carriers
The carrier force will stay with the invasion fleet, while the main force and scout force will be out in front, clearing the sees of any Italian forces.
Italy only has one dangerous battleship, the 59,000 ton Guilio Germanico which with 9x16" guns is similar to the Cabatirpitz.

Invasion of Albania...
And we have contact with the enemy. they appear to have a northern group with CVs and a southern group with 2 BBs and a CVL. The Scouting force will investigate the southern group.

At night the scouting force encounters some enemy ships. Radar returns suggest cruisers. It moves in to investigate and destroy them.
