Hummm the first time by mistake I only sent it to Gkar, but when I got your mail I resent to all of you. Gkar, Lucky did you get that second mail? If so you can resend it to a511, since I won't be able until I get home and late at night.
Bty this weekend I'll be out of town.

Fa41 JP,
 
The unsupplied CHN army in Changsa was eliminated ... CHN army only down to one militia ...

With the Eastern Front stabilizing somewhat, Stalin comes out of reclusion. Those generals who advocated a strong frontline presence are tried as traitors; the more fortunate are allowed to live and work as lowly munitions workers. Still the territory most vulnerable to German pressure, Lenningrad is fortified somewhat. Noting that German armour is still only marginally superior (although much greater in number), the Stavka is hopeful that if an attack against Lenningrad is mounted, it will be somewhat costly for the huns.

In the East, Changsha falls, leaving China two (!) remaining troops in Sinkiang. These, however, cannot be relied upon to take up arms, as the newly declared Uighur government secedes from China and declares its neutrality.

GAME note: one cannot see the 27 or so (if I recall correctly) inf and artillery in Kiev. Russia did a bombing run on undefended airfields in rumania and managed to destroy a tac bomber!

Germany Winter 41

A disastrous air campaign over the caucasus supposed two HB damaged, I'm greatly missing the "a" hotkey for withdrawing planes without fighting implemented in v1.03 and onwards, also three german fighters were damaged over Stalingrad for only one soviet chances were 3 to 2 not 3 to 1 [:@]. All in all a disastrous LW turn.

The Wehrmacht withdraws from the Baltic States. Airfields in France were reinforced.

Turn sent to a511.

With Russian winter, the Soviets find a curious lack of targets.... A valiant (elite) strategic bomber squadron damages the remaining German heav bomber squadron -- a sitting duck on Rumanian air fields. Germany has now 5 fighter squadrons, two tac bombers and two CAGs. These are largely concentrated in Western France. Thanks to heavy British support via Murmansk, Russian industry can concentrate on tech upgrades and production. In no time, the Germans will realize the error of their aggression.

China is still neutered. I suppose I should get around to sending her some supply from Russia.....

What IS Japan up to?

[GKar]

WAllies, Winter '42: Not much action, the US wonder if there will be something to do for them one day. No lend-lease this time due to a temporary lack of naval assets. "Who has the bigger air stack" is on at the channel.

[rjh1971]

Deutschland Sp42

The number of fighters in the UK was becoming to high and an attack was ordered, losses were high on both sides. Wolfpacks were ordered to hold fore until the US are at war, right now US WR is 30 to 35 and they declare war at 37, word from Japan is that they'll be ready in time to devaste the WA fleets in the Pacific.
In the east we retake Kharkov in order to launch the summer offensive and end this war...
Meanwhile a little information gathered from our spies would be most useful for our allies.

Thanks to the incredible efforts of the WA in support of their Soviet comrades, Russia is confident in her ability to handle any further German offensives. That said, Rostov is under pressure. Militia are sent to form a screen to prevent too many armour units from Belarus from joining an attack from Kharkov. Of course, these militia are 'dead men walking' but they are willing to sacrifice for the survival of the motherland..... In a major air engagement over Kharkov, Soviet fighters come off slightly better than the Luftwaffe, eliminating any German defensive screen in the region. The valiant Russian bomber unit takes out the lone transport flotilla in Rumania....

Of course, Churchill has his hands full with the seven major wolfpacks threatening her supply lines. Uncle Joe dedicates a memorial in Murmansk so that the sacrifice of the merchant marine will not be forgotten....

[GKar]

WAllies, Spring '42: US sailors watch Japanese maneuvers in the Pacific. Nothing else to report.

[rjh1971]

Germany Su42

An attempt to take Rostov was cancelled due to the huge amount of soviet artillery [:@], overall they have 45 arty units [X(][X(].
Instead the salient in Kursk was closed and some minor skirmishes in the north front. We have to regret the damaged of two arty's of our own.
U-boat campaign was again restricted this turn until the japs attack the US, we have been reported that allied ASW techonology has reached level 3, new improvements are on it's way for our subs [8|]

as expected, IJN attack ... the primary target, the LA got 5 fhts and 4 CAGs [X(] ... instead the secondary target, Seattle was invaded and ppl are learning japanese ...
 
elsewhere, typical pacific war and IJN found large garrison in india and sydney. big actions in the indochina penisular are expected.

The USSR starts the big rollback.... (albeit with no rolling). A major offensive in Kharkov inflicts heavy casualties on both sides. German ability to inflict major damage next season has been blunted.

[Lucky1]

Relative force dispositions. (p.s. Seattle invasion was a funny variant to the usual SW strike. Very costly damage) Turn sent to Gkar...

[a511]

Yeah, the invasion of Seattle is funny but IJN really prefers to bomb the USN CVs instead ...

Hmm, yes... [X(]

I didn't want to be caught pants down in California once more, so I thought I'd make it costly for any Japs coming there. Obviously I didn't think of fortifying NW USA though - although I do the same nasty thing to the AI occasionally. [:o]

[GKar]

WAllies, Summer '42: Surprised GIs prepare to take back NW USA. Several Japanese ships are destroyed near the US West coast. Stalin gets a new shipment.
