The british are lauching a full scale offensive all along the African Front, the only section that we're still holding the intiative is in the Est-Africa! Their display of strenght is really impressive, we were forced to adopt a defensive stance in Africa.
At least their assault in Windhoek failed, causing severe losses on their side,but theyr forces are still in good shape

the British power in Africa does indicate the AI will transport units around (if it has a fleet)
sorry about the Gibralter mess, worked well for me, but then there field army stayed in the fort while I landed so it was just a case of maintaining the siege and a naval blockade

HerrDan, could you post some images of the map "zoomed out" (MC filter) so we can have an understanding of who owns what in Africa at the moment? I think your situation is not that critical, but you may need to focus on one-two colonies at a time. The British AI, in my experience, tends to move around troops around theaters in very strange ways. By later stages of the game I tend to find Canadian troops in India, Indian troops in Africa, etc. The AI moves troops around a lot, sometime disregarding the potential inherent penalties some guys can have when they fight out of their locales.

Oh no problem, indeed it was a rushed move and with quite a quite unprepared force for the task, from my fortress n Tangier I couldn't see the british army there, so that took me by surprise. I was avoinding using my main armies in Germany in these attacks as it took quite a while to recover from the losses I suffered in the war with Russia, so I trusted a mix of colonial troops and mixed brigades could have a chance to raze Gibraltar, all my mistake.

All Fronts of the War report
The west African Front, where we have lost Lome, and Sokode is completelly surrounded, at least in Kamerun we have stabilized the front,
[ATTACH]28634[/ATTACH]
Further east we can see the british troops preparing to resume their offensive.
[ATTACH]28635[/ATTACH]
In Südwestafrika we have managed to capture a small portion of the british South African colony, but the british forces attacked us from the east directly into our regional capital Windhoek, the siege continues, even though we resisted their first assaults we cannot hope to resist for much longer without reinforcements.
[ATTACH]28636[/ATTACH]
And finaly Ostafrika, the only place in the african continent where we have managed to beat the british and keep with the initiative.
[ATTACH]28637[/ATTACH]
And now our greatest moment! After weeks of blockading the british isles we finally agreed on the landing in the heart of the British Empire, commanded by our former war minister Bronsart von Schellendorf, the same commander who led the sucessful landing on Helsinki in our last war with Russia, our 6th army sucessfully landed on the heart of England, now it's only a matter of time before London asks for peace terms!

Never underestimate the enemy, I won't ever commit this mistake again, as I did against the russians and could have lost that war. Ii's hard to supply my 6th armee from the sea, so we'll have to be very careful and use our resources very well, because the time is also on the enemy side, if it takes too long for me to capture London, we'll have to retreat from the islands. Lucky they have surrendered to me in Leicester without a fight and that gave my forces a boost of morale and also a good amount of supply fell into our hands, we'll need to use it wisely to prepare our assault.
The Kaiser and his generals in a meeting deciding the details of the Unternehmen Jörmungandr (code name for the operation for the invasion of the british isles). The plan, designed by Tirpitz with the help of Alfred von Waldersee and Bronsart von Schellendorff favored the region of Leicester for the landing as the british were expecting the landing of german troops to take place in Dover, where they assembled the bulk of their forces. With the support of the Norddeutsche Marine, the plan involved the participation of more than 100.000 soldiers and equipments to be landed in region Leicester, the greatet amphinious operation in the history of mankind, the german navy would provide support and protection for the transport of such a huge force through the North Sea to the british island.

I always thought this was an anachronistic picture!
Regarding the landing: why didn't you prefer the South East to land your troop? Not that it changes much, technically, even a day or two closer to move troops could make the difference.

Oh the picture is just to give a bit of flavor, don't spoil the party please
The place chosen for the landing was the less defended I found, and it's very close to London, so it's probably the best choice there.

to give yourself more time in the UK I'd look for a level 1 fort that has a depot, that'll ease your resupply issues. Don't rush at London as you risk becoming caught up in a long siege, it maybe better to grab the midlands and north first?

Thank you for the advice, the 6th army advance north, to York, instead of going straight to London, as the british have reinforced the defenses of their capital we'll adapt our plans now. What is good for us is that the british have too many forces deployed overseas and not so many soldiers to deploy against our forces in their island itself. If we advance quickly enough they'll fall very soon.
Another colonial battle victory against the british in Central-East Africa, Arthur Palmer Expeditionary force was captured by Götzen's troops. The german forces couldn't advance further into Zambia because of the strong british presence there, so Götzen forces decided to dig in Kasama until reinforcements arrive,

The British Front
Now in the british isles the Operation Jörmungandr is in course, Prince Leopold has successfully landed in East Anglia with his 7 army, and now he's going to take the command of the theater of operations in Great Britain to Schellendorff's dismay, while this the 6th army made a significant advance into Midlands where it has taken control of the important industrial city of Birmingham suffering very few casualties in the process.
The english army doesn't seem to have a force ready to launch against the german armies yet, but they are preparing an army south of Bristol as the reconnaissance troops reported, but we're still not sure about their plans. There's already some talk about the british government being transferred from London to Dublin or Belfast in Ireland.

The Battle of Britain Continues
The british have surrendered to our 6th army in Bristol without a battle, our 7th army captured Dover and we're completing the plan to surround London from all sides. There was also a "pre-battle" at the sea, but the british retreated when they noticed they stood no chance.
The Battle of Dover:

It seems the british forces are fatigued from the fight, with this low morale I expect them to surrender before the autumn leaves fall from the trees...
And a little exchange of shoots in the opening of a sea battle, the british navy is avoiding confronting our navy directly at all cost!

How's the supplies situation in Britain? Can you show us some consumption (map filter) and according to unit. I am worried about that 3600+ power in Bristol. Can They live of what they capture and get from the field? If yes, then the Brits are doomed, I think, unless there is some kind of Scottish liberation force marching Southwards... If not, then you better set up your logistics before moving on to new regions. There should be enough merchant ships in the North Sea MTB. These will beef up the amount of supplies and ammo shipped to Britain.

The Battle of Gibraltar
The german executed a brilhant landing at british fortress of Gibraltar, in spite of suffering high casualties in the difficult operation the german soldiers led by Gustav von Kessel managed to establish a firm beachhead in the enclave, it seems the british fighting strenght is dwindling as their morale is down with the bad news from the british front arriving to the troops.
Both von Kessel and von Haeseler (second in command in the operation), were congratuladed and shall be awarded with medals of honour when they return to Germany triumphant!
