GD 1938 third game

[lion_of_judah]

the Chinese have temporarily stopped my advance, but as I have air superiority i have time to bring up more tank forces which by the way is happening. i also have tank killer aircraft which are going to be in theater shortly, so only a matter of time until I break through.

On the middle eastern front, my forces are holding and so no worries here either. large soviet forces comprising 3 armies are now engaged in fighting on the western front assisting our socialist brothers (Nazi's) in their fight against the capitalistic west.

Italy has been defeated for the most part but hopefully now with soviet forces in theater this will stop the allied advance.

TASS.....News agency reports that the soviet offensive into China has stalled due to heavier than expected resistance. Now with our forces committed on the western front we cannot keep up a three front war, so one front will have to be purely defensive and hold with what they have.

Thanks for the synopsis of the turn 72 any chance I can have the actual turn[:)]

[lion_of_judah]

Soviet offensive in china has been stopped temporarily by stiff Chinese defenses. Western front has now saw the movement of a fourth Soviet army. waiting on new turn

Turkish front holding....

[ironduke1955]

The Soviet Union has shown relentless persistence in its attempts to break Chinese resistance. But it has been noted that the Soviet Unions efforts have become weaker and weaker. While its efforts in the west have found renewed strength.

This is from the Chinese perspective there is a lot more in the Area UK/France/US. Its a bit vague but its meant to be, this a AAR with very few pics. Loose pics cost lives.

[lion_of_judah]

i must say, the Chinese are putting up stronger resistance than I had imagined.......

[ironduke1955]

If you check a lot of the Chinese equipment you will find 'Made in the USA' stamped on the bottom.

[lion_of_judah]

it is looking like subs are gonna need building and cut off the supply line. my mistake was not building subs but that is going to be taken care of next turn.

[lion_of_judah]

we'll.....the soviets are fighting on three fronts. the western front is collapsing in the south and my fourth army is not in position yet, they are still in transit. my other three armies are collapsing as i do not have the reserves to fill my losses ( 3 fronts will tend to do that too you). my Turkish front is holding but i don't know for how much longer.

the Chinese front is stalemated, losing too may infantry that cannot be replaced. tank forces are strong on the Chinese front but now with the Chinese forces having U.S.heavy tanks "M-26" i do not know how long this front will hold. things are not looking good and so a decision will need to be made on which front I will have to withdrawal from. yeap things are looking a tad bit bleak right at this moment.....

So the only way to send troops to an ally for them to use is manually transfer from your headquarters to one of theirs?

[ironduke1955]

You can load them on troop ships and Cargo Ships for short trips say from a safe port to a port under air and naval interdiction. Its a good way of avoiding the losses from interdiction.

.......NEWS FLASH.....

TASS is reporting that the Soviet offensive in the Chinese theater of operations have ended. All offensive operations have ceased for now. main effort will be given to the western front which is on the verge of collapse...Soviet forces in China are strong enough to defend....repeat.....SOVIET offensive on the Chinese front has ended....all forces have been ordered to stand and defend.

[ironduke1955]

The Chinese will be launching a Offensive immediately. And by Immediately I mean when air superiority is established and the number of heavy tanks has been doubled or trebled.

[ironduke1955]

Turn is with the Lion of Judah I think Soviets

[lion_of_judah]

I do not have it, it is in the drop box.

[Twotribes]

Are you guys able to make formations of your own in allied territory? In the current incarnation I can not do so, meaning the US can not ship aircraft to Britain to form American air units. Ernie says it is not the game but maybe the current version of ATG? What version of ATG are you using?

[lion_of_judah]

i'm able to do so. the green + symbol is at the far right....
