Battle of the Norweigan sea May 1942
The Kreigsmarine Heavy units have engaged the Allies escort forces and sunk the RN 5th L Cruiser Sqn and
demolished the 1st Cruiser Sqn, There are Wolf packs around but I cant let this chance to engage and destroy
the German Heavy units slip away the Home Fleet and the US Atlantic fleet move in

June 1942 Norweigan Sea
The British Home Fleet has limped home after losing HMS Renown, A Heavy Cruiser Sqn a Light Cruiser Sqn and a Light
Cruiser Sqn almost destroyed, The US Atlantic Fleet took some damage but fought well whilst the Kreigs Marine lost
the Battleships Tirpitz,Bismark and the Battle Cruisers Sharnhorst and Gneisenau plus 2 CA 2 DD and 2 SS so I think
a victory to the Allies

Im confident that this front is now pretty secure leaving me to concentrate more MMP on other fronts.

a mixed force of Infantry Tanks Mech and Arty to launch an offensive towards Kursk and beyond from a start line
around Voronezh, This will be the turning point of the war in the east ( I hope )im spending most of the Soviets MMP
on this offensive for the next few turns.

RE: Allied ARR 1939 Campain
Overveiw of the entire ETO Late August 1942
Overall I think im in good shape to turn my defence in Russia to attack although the Axis are a little ahead
in Tech ive destroyed plenty of there units on my defence lines, Ive been saving MMP for the expansion of the
Red Army and will attack in September or October from the general area of Voronezh where there appears to be a
bit of a gap in the front line that is thinly held.
The Eight Army in North Africa will Invade Vichy Tunisia followed by Algeria and Sicily while forces from the US
and Britain will assault Spain and knock them out of the war.
At sea the Allied navies will continue to patrol the convoy routes and hunt down wolf packs while destroying any
Axis heavy naval units that appear
Im spending on tech with the priority being Inf Weapons/Tank/Air and ASW I need to catch up with and keep in front
of the Axis in this area

RE: Allied ARR 1939 Campain
I notice that the AI is using very badly its Panzerkorps .
It is especially obvious on the Leningrad front where it has 3 armies AND 3 Panzerkorps AND 1 artillery .
Normally your defence line should have evaporated in 2 turns because you have nothing there to stop such a force .
An attack 1 Army + 1 Panzer corps (let alone 2) = death for the opposing Soviet unit . Then the Army advances, the Panzers retreat, reinforce . Rince, repeat .
Once the German either destroyed or forced all your units to retreat in a marsh, the battle South of Leningrad is over .
I think that it is because there is only one important rule for the use of Panzers - never ever put them in a marsh unless there is no ennemy unit nearer than 100 km .
Yet the AI found the brilliant idea to put every single Panzerkorps in a marsh
Also there doesn't seem to be an elite German HQ in Luga where it should be to allow full strength reinforcement and readiness for all attacking units .
