In the rubbish weather the Germans are really struggling to make any headway - the supply situation being a particular problem.... Forgetting to move Manstein doesn't help either...

Meanwhile the Japanese try the usual ground strike and get the usual result [8|]

I just don't know how to get the China campaign kick-started [&:]

I think that it rather looks like it will be a short war for the Germans. [;)]

Quite [:)]

Italy "lost" her oil for some reason last turn which didn't help the Axis either. As soon as the Amphibs are available, I think Sicily and/or Sardinia are toast - that will give airbases to launch an invasion of the mainland.

Germany have not hit the Soviets anywhere near hard enough and the latter are getting more reinforcements each turn.

Japan - well what can I say!! Their aircraft are rubbish - I cannot ground strike anything and with the low odds, that means I cannot afford to attack.

Oh well, its been invaluable experience in getting back into the game. I will plough on and see where it takes me.

Impulse: 7

There is not much the Germans can do but re-group and await better weather. When that arrives its time to start taking some chances...

Turn: Jan/Feb 1942
Impulse: 9

The Allies pass with all to try and end the turn but it fails...

Turn: Jan/Feb 1942
Impulse: 11

Back to the Axis and the Blizzard conditions mean no air strikes are possible...

The turn eventually ends but with little achieved by the Axis.

All my German oil seems to have disappeared and the oil being saved has turned to idle...[&:] I try and save three oil this turn but do not know if I will be able to organise units this turn [&:]

Impulse: End of Turn

Similar problem with the CW - no oil.. I have tried saving three but can only save two - no idea why the 3rd one won't take.
