Nah... They have three times my power at the start of the year, and are adding like CRAZY, while the Empire can't produce anything because I borked my resources completely.

<r> Yeah, I looked at the map for a long while now and I can't pull this out anymore. <br/>
<br/>
I <B><s>[b]</s>literally<e>[/b]</e></B> forgot that you could upgrade your resource hexes, that's why I have nothing to produce with. Ten years later, still sucking at the game. <br/>
<br/>
I will ...

<r> An army in shambles!<br/>

<r> April 1936<br/>
<br/>
Multiple breakthroughs in the south threw the entire front into complete disarray and utter shambles. The Caliphate continues to roll over VII Corps, bursting through the thin line between II and VII Corps and severing the railroad leading southwest from Jingmen, cutting ...

<r> March 1936<br/>
<br/>
In the midst of the catastrophical supply situation, the recently conquered aircraft factory near Mizhi was shut down after barely starting production. We don’t have raw, we don’t have oil – the Empire doesn’t even have enough shovels to dig a ditch behind the Jingmen ...

<r> February 1936<br/>
<br/>
Oh bother – are things going pear-shaped! <br/>
<br/>
VII Corps is melting away while it is impossible to reinforce it. At least IX Corps has spawned its divisions (after an almost year-long march to the front…) behind it and will be ready to catch the crumbling ...

<r> January 1936<br/>
<br/>
The current state of Imperial Chengdu led to a slight change in plans. II Corps had to grab that oilfield, and quick, before the Caliphate would get it. <br/>
<br/>
The Caliphate was close to achieving a serious breakthrough against VII or V Corps. The amount of tanks ...

<r> December 1935<br/>
<br/>
The southern sector keeps getting shoved, and the encirclement of the foremost Caliphate elements was easily broken by relief forces. <br/>
<br/>
Much of the month was about consolidating lines and clearing the immediate vicinity of Mizhi. <br/>
<br/>
As far as ...

<r> November 1935<br/>
<br/>
This month ended up a bit of good news / bad news. Good news: Mizhi fell to the Empire. Bad news, it’s mostly burning. Tubingen fell to Germania a while ago. <br/>
<br/>
Also, good news: we spotted an oilfield in Imperial Chengdu hands in the sector of II Corps. Bad ...

<r> October 1935<br/>
<br/>
Caliphate counterattacks have dealt considerable losses to VII Corps, which is in a sticky spot in the deep south, and also gets shelled by Chengdu artillery regularly. Not only is the Corps stretched out quite a bit, but it is also hard to supply and about impossible ...

<r> September 1935<br/>
<br/>
Just minor gains on all fronts. Also, an air bombardment on I Corps’ left flank went awry when the Caliphate actually sent in fighters to counter our pilots. Of eight planes of the 45th Air Wing, three were lost, while the bombardment had little to no effect. Since we ...

<r> August 1935<br/>
<br/>
A rather dull month that was partly spent moving up stranded equipment and such. A new IX Corps was formed to be added to the Eastern Front to relief the pressure on the VII Corps in the deep south, but with the way our chronic shortages work, it was formed in Minsk ...

<r> July 1935<br/>
<br/>
The Caliphate again conducted some local counterattacks in the middle of the desert, ravaging some of the Eastern Empire’s divisions. The 67th InfDiv (VII) was badly mauled, and there was a small breakthrough in the line at the III and V Corps that was however quickly ...

<r> June 1935<br/>
<br/>
All six front corps were subordinated to the new Front HQs this month, and at least I, III, and V Corps managed to shed their trucks and start to move up. VI Corps HQ f.e. remains grounded, which is a problem, since VI Corps is in front of some very juicy targets, two ...

<r> May 1935<br/>
<br/>
The Caliphate has reformed their frontline opposite I Corps and conducted a local counterattack, but overall the entire front kept moving nicely, even if at different paces. VII Corps is becoming stretched, though. <br/>
<br/>
We did spot some targets. VI Corps is coming ...

<r> High command is having a collective depression.<br/>

<r> April 1935<br/>
<br/>
More success in the glorious face of global Eastern Empire-ism! <br/>
<br/>
The Caliphate started a general retreat opposing the (future) Eastern Front, but despite lacking any meaningful mobilization, the three corps there managed to round up a significant number of ...

<r> March 1935<br/>
<br/>
The Caliphate is conceding defeat for the moment, and pulled back the western half of its remaining front along the river. Here is where it gets interesting, since Imperial Chengdu is also trying to pierce into the void generated by the partial withdrawal. <br/>
<br ...

<r> February 1935<br/>
<br/>
Great success!<br/>
<br/>
Our agents in Germania managed to convince the German High Command that the filthy Chengdus were conducting experiments to poison all hop plants in Germania, thus leaving the country without its beloved beer! German High Command swiftly and ...

<r> January 1935<br/>
<br/>
Not much is new on the front, except that only one Caliphate division remains north of the river. Everything else has been thrown back and the Empire’s charismatic, yet gruesome, leaders think that the tide might be turning on the Caliphate in 1935. Their attacks were ...
