Fa '45.
Stalin entered Berlin. The war comes to an end. First time Goran and I won.

Thanks, everyone, for a fun game.

Japan had no chance. Who'd figured that Germany will outlive Japan!?
But I did commit most of my resources to the Pacific area.

This will be my last entry in this game, as Germany has no chance of surviving the next turn.
Thank you, Rafael, Tim, and Goran for a fun game!

WA SU '45.
And the WA attack.

SU '45.
Germany survived the Red army attack.

Thank you, there's always something interesting to learn in AWD. This game is so deep, that's why it's so interesting!

Here's the WA research screen at the end.

Here's the current situation in Japan.
Now even the god of winds can't save Japan, and it will surely fall from the mighty WA armada. Both nations should fall in the summer of '45.

Marines and paratroopers have taken Kyushu, supported by the airforce and naval bombardment.
I was not aware that I can land only like 5 units with amphibious landing? I had enough transports and troops for double the amount.
But with 4 paratrooper units, it was enough.

WA SP '45
My follow-up went similar. I had like 1% chance of success.
Germany will fall next turn.

After a little delay, the war is on to its final stages.
First SU spring of '45 attack from Goran. Germany holds.

The stage is set for the Spring offensive.
Will Germany survive the next turn?

Similar action over Honshu Island.

WA winter of '45
Air raid over Germany wiped out almost the entire Luftwaffe.

SU '45 winter.
Goran forced a winter attack, and the results were expected.

Yup, spring it is, no way we can break you with winter snow.

On the Pacific front, I've taken Korea and the strategically important Ryukyu Islands.
It takes time to bring all the needed units and supplies, so this turn I've only damaged a few air units over the Japan (FT-s and an HB).
There are still 7 IJA FT-s remaining, and they are vastly outnumbered by ...

SU FA '44
Goran attacked with everything into E. Germany, but it was not enough to dislodge the stubborn German defenders.
Losses were close to equal.

WA FA'44
I couldn't attack from Austria, odds were 2:1 against me and no chance of taking W. Germany. So, I've postponed the attack ...

After the battle, my navy is executing a blockade of Japan's home islands, as I'm trying to stop any more army units from coming in from China.
I've even tried bombing the home islands with my HB-s, but 3 of my HB-s drew evasion 1 and gave Japan's flak units a few big hits. My elite and veteran HB-s ...

One IJN CV remained nothing that my LF-s can't clean up. This ended the great Yellow sea battle and broke the IJN navy.

I had enough TF-s and supplies to execute everything, I moved the CV-s in range. I've launched the FT-s cover from the Philipines over it to prevent a counterattack and all the FT-s from French Indochina into one massive battle.
It went according to plan, a massive WA victory! No surprises there, my ...
