2v2_Rnd 2 A511/RJH vs Sandeman/MarshallArt

[Marshall Art]

WA Spring 1942 - Ignoring enemy defenses the Bomber Command launches a daylight attack on W. Germany yielding mixed results. It appears that the focus of the Japanese forces will be South/East Asia, as they have little resources available to steam towards PH. The oil embargo shows its effect.

It seems that Axis progress in Russia is diminishing, Roosevelt is pleased to see that foreign troops can do the job just as well as his own.

Su42 - GER
 
As a revenge to RUS's winter counterattack, GER has taken Stanlingard and has surrendered and destory the RUS army in Rostov!!

Japan Su42

The words above are sweet music to the Emperor's ears. Now Baku will most surely fall next quarter and that's going to cripple URRS's economy. Japan has decided to add his little grain by bombing USSR resources, also in China since the factories are too well defended we also attacked their resources.
Waiting for the US to enter the war WR 32-36 threshold 37. [;)]

SU/Ch Su'42

Germany sure pulled a good one, I had considered at the last minute they might be able to surround Rostov but I figured they wouldn't have enough left to take it... a mistake that cost me a good number of units.

However Germany took heavy losses in the fighting, and the Red army was able to damage and destroy a few more enemy units this turn.

WA Summer 1942 turn, Japan must have good INTEL since our own military officially only reported the WR level as 33-39 [8D]

So next turn we expect some Japanese actions that we shall consider unfriendly... Time to get our 10 CV's up and running, they have been sitting in our ports for more than 6 months...

Meanwhile our pilots explore Europe from various perspectives, some over S.Italy, other over France, a third group over Yugo. Axis supply levels are still low, and we do all we can to keep it that way [:D]

Any specific reason why we are not moving forward - do you have my file A511? Just checking [:)]

[a511]

GER has consolidated its force to face the possible counterattack by the allies.

Japan Fa42

The IJA reinforces its troops deployed in Siberia, bombing raids are flown into Wstern Siberia and Eastern Kazakshtan, swine soviets are lucky japanese don't see a damn (one resource damaged in each area, when they should have been demolished, the Emperor is sending an ophthalmologist

Another resource was damaged in Paotow.

The Rising Sun Empire does not understand why the US wants to declare war upon us, we have not entered their area of influence, we are just trying to get rid of comunism [;)][:D]
If the Japanese don't succeed american blood will be spilt in the future trying to accomplish the same thing, so stop supplying the soviets [;)]

Pity the Caucasus was not taken, it would have meant the destruction of 5 resources + the rail: 60 supplies total if those panzers arttacking Grozni wouldn't have been veteran and elite they could have pushed forward even if it meant losing it...

[Sandeman]

SU/Ch Fall'42

Our caucasus resources are safe for now, and Grozny as well as rostov was again retaken this turn. Even after the debacle in Rostov earlier this year, our army is strong enough to push into Kursk and also reinforce W.Siberia where it opposes the majority of the IJA.

SS of Europe...

Fall 1942 - Allies enjoy one last peaceful season, as the WR moves forward by just one for the second straight time. Japan appears to not be interested in preemptive strikes on Hawaii since they invited the US to declare war twice now. Confused by this strategy Nimitz goes back to playing golf until the leaves have fallen... [>:]

In Europe the 8th Air Force sharpens ist bombing runs, with Germany very low on supplies (35) it will be difficult to repair those resources we so nicely dismantled in E. France [:D]

As far as supply transfer goes, with Russia bravely fending off both Germany and Japan (how did they do THAT?) it is our pleasure to send some more Whiskey and Cigarettes besides Munition and Weaponry to our friends. Not sure if we can continue to be so generous once our transport capacity will be overloaded with supplies for our OWN troops in the years to come... [8D]

Any idea when we get rolling again? [:(]

[rjh1971]

Anthony has been very busy lately, both with work and family matters. Hetold me he'd do the turn as soon as he could. He hasn't forgot, just real life in the way.

[a511]

finally got time to play again ...
 
GER has further consolidated her gain and tightening up the defence.
in the only combat action of the turn ... a GER TB was gunned down by another autohit ... i think i just have enough autohit against me in this game [:@]

The US is at the brink of war, meanwhile Japan continues bombing Eastern Kazajistan, blizards prevents more damage due to poor vissibility.

SU/Ch Win'43

Soviets and Chinese make a few moves, but no combat outside a bungled air raid on E.Poland. Waiting for the inevitable U.S. help to arrive...

Winter 1943 - US declares war on Japan and Germany, Forces at Sea, Land and Air are mobilized to contain the Axis expansion plans. Another round of heavy bombardments shakes W. Germany despite heavy losses for the WA aircrews. They get their revenge over Romania though. The DEI are reinforced to prevent easy advances by the Japanese Carrier fleet which lies nearby Siam.

Hope everybody can try to get back to moving at a faster pace as most other rnd 2 games are done or almost done.

This is the situation in the Pacific.

Impatience bit me again, where are we here? [:)]
