New AAR Keith Vs Ian

[professorhex]

The only Axis search to find anything is in the distant waters of the South Pacific. In clear weather the heavy cruisers Tone and Suzuya destroy a Dutch cp.

[professorhex]

A solitary attack in storm-lashed southern Russia against a dis/oos Ski Division.

[professorhex]

Weather improves globally as the impulse ends. German forces in Western France steel themselves against the expected assault from the growing Allied force south of the Loire. Strong German reinforcements drive through the Ile de France, and formerly mothballed Ju86G bombers take up positions to support von Leeb's army Group.

AXIS #6 SEP/OCT 1942

Kuomintang forces captured Chihkiang, but took losses too. A bit awkward at the palace as the Emperor thought Umezu dead already.

3 land actions.

[professorhex]

For the third time the Luftwaffe attempts to ground strike Yeremenko's HQ north of Moscow. There is air combat ...

[professorhex]

Italian bombers hit one of the Greek Mtn Corps guarding their resources.

[professorhex]

Japanese bombers score a hit in south China, but hoped for more.

[professorhex]

Exhausted Ethiopians occupy Nairobi, Kenya.

The Germans have the better of air combat above the attack in S Russia, but lose a good FW190.

[professorhex]

This time the Allies get their best bombers through.

[professorhex]

The Japanese continue their offensive along the Wei Ho River.

[professorhex]

Terauchi's Army Group is successful against communists south of the Wei Ho.

Another success to the north of the Wei Ho by the Japanese against Mao's beleaguered forces.

[professorhex]

Both sides take losses in W France as CW Mech forces hold the line.

[professorhex]
