I also finally laid siege on the Chinese port on my shores and although I took a number of expected casualties in the attack I also heavily damage his remaining forces in the city. Without further reinforcements from the Chinese mainland I expect I will take this city next turn.

[chesire]

TURN 28:

I've finally broken through the Turks western front and connected with my forces on the Northern front.



I just don't see how the Turks can hold out much longer.

[chesire]

TURN 29:

Finally, on Turn 29, I've capture the Eastern Port on my mainland, beating back the entrenched Chinese in a vicious battle. Alas, they had nowhere to retreat so they were completely eliminated.



Now I've started production of cargo ships so I can start preparing for an attack on the Chinese mainland and eliminate that regime once and for all.

[chesire]

TURN 30:

In addition to cutting off the Turks, I've begun to spearhead into German territory to split their forces in two.





This should make it more difficult for Germany to make a concentrated attack on my forces. On the other hand I'll be fighting on two different fronts, but so far I've manage to be successful in that so I'm willing to risk it. Germany now is the biggest force on the map so the more I can do to disrupt their forces the better.

[chesire]

TURN 31:

Looks like the Chinese want another shot at taking the Peninsula.

[chesire]

It didn't go well for them...

[chesire]

TURN 32:

I got some new technologies to keep up pace with the other regimes.





I also purchased the cruiser technology to support my ships as I prepare to attack the enemy regimes island strongholds.

[chesire]

TURN 33:

I continue to push the Turks back on the Western front. Soon the Germans and I will both be pushing them northwards.

[chesire]

TURN 34:

I've split the German forces this turn with a long drive through their eastern flank.





With any luck, I'll be able to hold this and tighten the noose on my way towards their capital.

[chesire]

TURN 35:

I took some heavy losses this turn... especially in my armor divisions.

[chesire]

I also finally landed an amphibious assault on the closest Turkish island but I may have under estimated their forces.





So I don't make that mistake again in the future I decided to create some air units to perform recon and eventually to conduct air strikes before landing another force on the island.

[chesire]

TURN 36:

I started this turn with some interesting information. There's a result that I haven't seen before (AS kills) which are quite high.





If that's what I THINK it is that means I killed 439 enemy infantry with Air Strikes?! If that's true I can definitely see what people were talking about regarding the importance of air power. Wow.
Hmmm I looked it up in the manual and it might actually refer to Anti-Supply. Maybe the fact that infantry “casualties” are listed means that 439 enemy infantry were affected? I'm not really sure what it means. I couldn't find AS Kills specifically in the manual. Can anyone comment on exactly what this means?

[chesire]

Meanwhile, the Turks are fighting hard for their city named... “Outer”? Alright who's coming up with these names??? Anyways, it's been a back and forth fight. They're digging in and won't give up without a fight.

[chesire]

TURN 37:

Not surprisingly the Turks have repelled my amphibious assault.





Still producing an air wing to try and handle that. It's just not going to be as “quick” as I thought. So in the meantime I think I'll transfer some units out of that city to help on the north front where my lines are getting a little thin.

[chesire]

Here's a look at the overview map.





Interestingly Germany is now on the decline while Turkey is starting to regroup and cause me quite a bit of trouble. I'm at a stand still now on my northern front and I can't get any foothold yet on their island.

[chesire]

TURN 38:

Things have stalled a bit on the northern front. The Turks are really dug in and I'm having a hard time getting enough units there to make a dent. I'm also having some supply problems which I'll hopefully rectify with more supply producing city and more engineered roads.

[chesire]

TURN 39:

I decided to finally start using my bombers so I could start making progress on the northern front. I know this will ensure the opponents start making anti-aircraft weaponry but I feel that my air force is now strong enough to handle it.

In my first use of bombing I managed to wear down the armor guarding the Turkish city of “Outer” and take it back.

[chesire]

TURN 40:

I made another amphibious landing on the Northwest island owned by Turkey and I'm realizing just how strong air support can be.





With their armored forces severely reduced I'm hoping this next landing is more successful than the last.

[chesire]

TURN 41:

My island assaults have begun. I've landed on the Chinese coast and it's obvious they are sending forces towards mine as well. I already fought off the first wave but more are coming... including a force of Germans it appears.

[chesire]

I also took over the Turkish city on the western Island, but not surprisingly their navy is better than mine with the Cruiser II units already afloat.
