New AAR Keith Vs Ian

[professorhex]

Von Bock's artillery division hits Soviet AAA.

[professorhex]

The Germans miss in response to the Soviet attack against Rommel in the east and also miss Bradley's HQ, though an accompanying Mechanised Division is hit.

[professorhex]

Paras are deployed again, this time against Yeremenko's HQ.

[professorhex]

In Yugolsavia, an Italian antipartisan operation is an embarrassing failure.

[professorhex]

But von Rundstedt drives on against the eastern edge of Yeremenko's beleagured armies.

[professorhex]

Yeremenko somehow survives Guderian's pincer attack.

[professorhex]

The Italians lose two divisions in a failed invasion of British Aden.

So it isn't all going the Axis' way, despite that bloody nose for the US Navy.

[professorhex]

Turn ended on a 1! Axis isn't sorry.

[professorhex]

Partisans across the Balkans are emboldened by news from Yugoslavia.

[professorhex]

French partisans deny more resources to the Germans.

[professorhex]

Maoism retains some appeal in China.

[professorhex]

AXIS #4 MAR/APR 44

Allies won initiative, a quiet impulse.

Italy & Germany land, Japan naval actions.

Japanese naval searches fail.

The Allies decline to intercept three Luftwaffe ground strikes in the snow, generally wisely.

Tankbusters miss Bradley's HQ and the American tanks in Netherlands.

Only the Royal Marines are hit.

[professorhex]

The Axis press the attack on Bradley regardless of having failed to ground strike him.

This time the Allies confront ground supporting aircraft.

[professorhex]

A violent engagement. New model FW190s perform well against the excellent RAF Typhoons.

Goering is impatient for the new generation jets.

The Allies abort once the Maryland and Stukas are through.

[professorhex]

Some bombers from both sides clear.

[professorhex]

Italian rear area units are successful against partisans in Yugoslavia at the second attempt.

[professorhex]

Rommel's HQ has reformed and has remained in the west. Elements of this new Army Group eliminate partisans in Strasbourg.
