GD1938 GAME 16

[ironduke1955]

Peking is captured and Transferred to China, the Supreme Soviet requires no gratitude from China, in the communist world people act from. Mutual respect of moral autonomy, not from personal gain, long live the collective [;)]

France and Great Britain are fighting their battles against the Germans and Italians. In Metropolitan France the
Axis is chewing away at our defenses. The French are proud to have captured Tripoli from the backstabbing Italians.

Great Britain battles the U-boat threat across multiple oceans.

(We need a way to choose the routing of convoys! When there are two routes I want to choose the safest one!)

(The process of ASW that I use is sweep lines stretching across whole oceans. Does anyone know a better one. My method
take so much time and clicking!)

[Twotribes]

Well if we had shared recon then My boats could spot for yours and vice versa , as it is now it is just empty seas.

[falco148]

Nothing too dramatic to report from the Chinese this time around. One successful attack against the Japanese in the south and some rearranging of the lines to fill in some gaps.

The Red Army appears to squeezing the Japanese even harder in the north with their armies (the Japanese) now completely split in two.

May 39 Soviets

Kweisui and Port Arthur the two final northern Chinese cities were captured and returned to China. Kweisui proved the bloodiest battle of the war so far for the Soviets, the Japanese just did not want to give it up. Port Arthur proved easier as Japanese units had pushed out of the city in a ill advised offensive. Time is running out for Soviet involvement in this location hairs are tingling on the back of Soviet necks as the Germans advance across France and the thinness of Soviet western defenses become a problem.

[cpdeyoung]

France is shrinking as the Germans and Italians continue their attacks. The RAF is not pleased with the success of
air attacks on the Germans. We are not taking heavy losses but the German targets are not in ideal terrain, and the
targets are not easy ones.

The Royal Navy is also taking losses and finding it very hard to find more U-boats. We did kill one U-boat on the
East Africa coast.

[Twotribes]

The US Continues to deliver war materials to Japan. If the Soviets think they can just walk away from attacking the US they are sadly mistaken.

[ironduke1955]

Soviet Offensives revealed large quantities of US armaments and servicemen in Japanese hands and under Japanese control, the armaments were destroyed or captured the prisoners taken will be treated humanly by their Soviet captors, and returned to the USA on cessation of hostilities. In the meantime they will be made comfortable in Soviet facilities in Siberia.

[cpdeyoung]

Great Britain and France continue to resist the European Axis.

We view with considerable dismay the discord between the Soviets and the Americans. Surely a way to peace can be found in this counterproductive conflict.

July 1939 Soviet Union

The Soviets continue to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese Armor, the reason is clear the KV1 heavy tank that has reached high levels of experience and Morale against Medium tanks of inferior design, there are now many such units of KV1 tanks in China and Korea those reaching 50 experience or Higher are being designated Guards.

The Japanese fleet took a heavy blow in the Yellow sea, we had thought that the lesson had been learned, but the Japanese still do not appreciate the power of Naval air power.

[Twotribes]

Actually every tank every plane every troop you put in Japanese territory is one less you can use to defend the Soviet from Germany. And I promise that unless you withdraw I will make it my mission to ensure your troops either die there or remain there while Germany runs through the Soviet.

[ironduke1955]

Ahem cough! cough! you mean Chinese and Korean territory. Amusing to see the USA siding with the genocidal Japanese.

[cpdeyoung]

The French continue to defend the portions of Metropolitan France they still hold. The Germans continue to take
losses, especially from RAF strikes directly on units in the front line against the French. It is now mid-1939 and
the European Axis is still engaged with the French. Axis intentions are not known, but the Soviets are making hay
while the sun shines and look to be having success in the East.

In Spain and Portugal the British and French have opened another front. Lisbon is being pounded, and Cadiz is taken.
This is a serious campaign for the Allies, but it is also a distraction for the Axis. It seems the final withdrawal
from France may occur when the Iberian front is fully active.

[ironduke1955]

The Soviets continue the offensive taking the fight into Korea and Central China, pushing down the Chinese coast liberating city after city.

The supreme Soviet is aware of the titanic struggle ongoing in Western Europe, the price in blood for the Belligerent parties must be enormous, the Supreme Soviet watches with bated breath for who will emerge from that crucible the victor.

[cpdeyoung]

France is being driven from the Metropole, but the basis of a Free French command is in place. The French are now
down to two port cities and a bit of extra territory. The RAF is waging a fierce struggle with the Luftwaffe for
control of the European skies.

A major problem has arisen for the Allies due to the USA-Japan vs. USSR-China struggle. Our early alliance with the
United States now puts us in real danger of a war in the East which we cannot wage. We have asked the USA to release
us from out alliance, as any DoW by us to achieve this will involve catastrophic alliance resolution, including a
horrible war with France.

[Twotribes]

Who is Germany?

RufusTFirefly why do you ask ?

1939 September Soviets

Seoul is captured by the Soviets Pusan is within reach of the armored spearhead that contains 5 guards Tank corps.

The Soviets offered a alliance to the Germans to avoid the possibility of a second front, for both nations.

[cpdeyoung]

The alliance between the Soviets and Axis is such bad news for us. As France is being driven off the continent we are looking at standing alone against the Fascists. Our potential friends are fighting each other, and while we hope it never happens, multiple possible enemies stand in the wings.

We made some progress at sea, and the RAF did well.

(Sorry about the restart, I had trouble just after signing in as the British.)

[falco148]

The Japanese continue to make attacks in the south against the Chinese making incremental gains but nothing too serious. In the north Chinese advance south-east alongside their Soviet brethren. Soviets forces are now penetrating deep into the Chinese east coast. It appears now only a matter of time before the Japanese troops are completely cut of from supply in China.
