October, 1942

We know that Crispy is "cooking up" something. Turkey will be allied in one or two turns. US troops and ships are in Mediterranean sea. Soviets have enough forces to launch offensive operations...

However, in East Theathre our german forces are still better than red ones and we can still advance (very slowly, but advance)

This is our main movement in our last turn (but this operation has been going on during the whole summer).

Eastern Front

Most activity is now focused on the Eastern Theater (summarized in screenshots below).

Turkey

Turkey is leaning 87% towards the Allies on the backs of British and American Lend Leases and invested diplomacy. Through Turkey, the Allies could soon have a launching pad into Europe.

The Mediterranean

The Italians have lost 2 Battleships and a Heavy Cruiser in recent fighting, while USA lost a Heavy Cruiser in near the coast of Greece.

Executive report at December, 1942 [;)][;)]

December 1942

Turkey

Backed by the arrival of additional military equipment promised to the Turkish government in December 1942 (via decision), Turkey has agreed to declare for the Allies. As a result of previously agreed Lend Leases (1941) and the most recent Allied commitments to the region the Turkish Army is better equipped for war with Germany who I am now aware has preemptively moved forces into Bulgaria in anticipation of Turkish entry. In response to the Axis build up, British and American infantry have arrived at Istanbul to support Turkey and have deployed along the Bulgarian border awaiting clashes with the Wehrmacht.

The Atlantic

German and Italian Coastal Bombers operating from Portuguese and Spanish territories in the Atlantic and off the coast of Africa have been problematic as we look to clear the convoy lanes of Italian and Spanish surface raiders near the Canary Islands. Though we have suffered losses ourselves, we are quite sure that the German U-boats have been sunk in this region as a result of our naval operations. Spanish coastal raiders and at least one Italian Battleship is known to be in the region.

The Eastern Front

The Soviets have opened a continuous front against the Axis invaders who will now have to fight for each and every mile of the motherland. German offensive operations have stalled and it is questionable if they can regain the initiative on the Eastern Front.

Tunisia

Under German command in North Africa, Axis forces continue to rebel the Allies at the Tunisian border. If Tunisia and Algeria are to fall, the Allies will need a new plan of attack.

Finland

Soviet forces continue their offensive towards Helsinki. Germany never made any true commitments to march on Leningrad and as a result the Finns have been abandoned to their fates.

Western Europe

All remains quite in Western Europe as I am sure the Axis are continuing preparations to defend the long Atlantic coast from possible Allied invasions.

1943

1943 will be critical for the both sides. Due to the ferocious bombing campaign and year long Sealion invasion against Great Britain the Axis have stolen much time from the Allies to prepare for the next phases of military operations.

From the Axis perspective , it is not clear if the Axis have the capability to return to the offensive. The Germans have failed to capture any oilfields, and the scales are slowly tipping towards the Allies. The inclusion of many types of divisions does cloud the overall unit Report, so it is not 100% clear if the Allies truly hold the advantage in this regard or not. Time will tell, I wish my opponent good luck in 1943!

Allied player is pushing hard in the borders of Axis Empire but our forces are still stronger when there is a direct fight.
1943 will be a very much excited year!
