GD 1938 v 2, testgame

[Twotribes]

Well it was good while it lasted, I shall miss the ongoing battle, assuming you all haven't quit.

[Jeffrey H.]

I don't know what's going on either. But it seems to be the axis players turn. I'm a bit concerned I'm not getting any emails so I hope we're still going.

[Bombur]

I sent my turn in 10/26. No reply since then....

[Jeffrey H.]

Kombrig posted his on the 29th. So, I would expect the turn to be in axis hands.

[Jeffrey H.]

Well, it seems to be in my hands, I was left off the message from Kombrig to everyone else. I have the turn now, I'll run it off this evening.

[Twotribes]

Going so bad none of you feel like posting? Someone must be winning.

[Jeffrey H.]

USA has the turn now. GB's turn was relatively quiet. Forces are bracing for the worst but hoping for some good news.

[Bombur]

USA troops disembark in the Marianas unopposed. Japan is taking massive supply losses due to submarine warfare. The end is near for the Empire of the Sun. The Phillipines will be relieved soon.

[Jeffrey H.]

There are signs Germany is weakening, or at least building up for another, different confrontation. For instance, last turn I launched a fighter sweep over Frankfurt and turned up...nothing. Completely unapposed. However recon elements discovered numerous aircraft sheltering in France. Could it be that the Germans have taken cover and are hiding ? What great scheme are they cooking up next ?

interesting......I love it when my adversaries think this...I think the Russians would disagree with this assessment.

[kombrig]

The heroic Turkish Red Army has repulsed a huge enemy offensive at Istanbul. The Italians took heavy losses.

[Jeffrey H.]

Approximately 60+ Axis aircraft destroyed this round. The Italian grip on Spain is slipping. The Burmese line holds.

......news flash.....

air battle over Eastern front. Luftwaffe continues to maintain air superiority on the Eastern Front. German High Command concedes that air superiority on the western front is now contested.

German forces launch limited counter offensive, breakthrough achieved pushing forces through gap

[kombrig]

The German "limited counter offensive" ended as a full scale disaster:

[Bombur]

USA/China turn

Pacific: Japan loses more than 3000 supply to American subs, we expect Japanese economy will come to a halt soon....there are already rumors that the Japanese fleet is immobilized due to lack of fuel. Aircraft are reaching the Phillipines and a new group of American volunteers, flying P-40´s arrived to China.

China: No news, the defensive lines are hoding and Japan made less air attacks this turn.

Atlantic: After three months of poor results, American ASW forces sank 7 German submarines. Supply and equipment flowed to Africa with no losses

Spanish Front: American aircraft are starting to attack Italian ground forces

Diplomacy: Colombia joined our alliance

[Jeffrey H.]

German subs reappear off the coast of France and in the English Channel. The unit off the coast of France was eliminated and the unit in the English channel sparked an air duel which saw 40 odd German planes go down in flames. In the pacific, AAA fire knocked down another 10 raiders over the Burmese theater bringing this turns total to ~50 Axis aricraft downed.

The Brasilians have joined the British cause.

In Spain, another devastating turn of attrition for the Italians, including a reversal of the invasion and splitting the remains into two groups, one now cut off from supply and the other facing both the American and the British forces.

A Japanese sub group off the coast of Singapore nearly destroyed and sent away.
