GD1938 Game 27

[cpdeyoung]

8 January 1940

The USSR is well aware of the German and Italian presence on our borders. A powerful force of Bf-109Es has been sighted in the skies above Warsaw.

We are well aware of the strength the Axis can throw at the USSR, but we have not been sleeping.

[cpdeyoung]

Could we get an ETA on a turn.

Lordlau is Germany. Guess we're waiting for him to make an appearance.

[cpdeyoung]

5 February 1940

The Soviet Union is unhappy with the powerful armored forces mustered by Italy on the Turkish border.

There can be no reason for these concentrations except aggression.

[LJBurstyn]

Japan has some small success against China....Captured Canton and Hanoi (from China). Not sure if I'll be able to hold onto Canton but it denies China that production for however many turns I hold onto it. In the Northern area China seems to be attacking...So moving troops to the area. So am using my artillery to cause what loses I can inflict upon them...Maybe sometime they would be willing to talk ceasefire...but I don't really expect that.

4th March 1940

It is silly to talk about the intentions of the Axis. We have no idea of their plans, but we see their capabilities. We are calling out to other nations to ally with us in a coalition.

The Red Army is not weak, but if Germany and Italy see other nations oppose their aggression it may deter them.

USA turn is up!

1 April 1940

The USSR considers peace fragile as the Germans have so much artillery the wind across the barrels plays tunes at night! It is like a huge organ. You can hear them in Minsk.

Germany should not attack, but who knows what imperatives drive them.

The USSR welcomes the Tunisian Soviet to the fold.

PS : @Juergen (USA) I forgot to greet you with a message. Please accept the fraternity of the Soviet people. We understand the constraints placed upon your nation by representative democracy and will check with you as times passes.

29 April 1940

The USSR looks with deep unhappiness at the Axis buildup on our borders.

The German and Italian peoples, and perhaps the Japanese people, should let their leaders know they do not want this huge war.

[LJBurstyn]

I'm too involved in my own little war against China to be interested in joining a larger war. Captured some more Chinese territory but the Chinese in Northern China are doing a good job of delaying and stopping any advances I make. Moving more troops into the area and hope to take the offensive back soon.

Really tired after my eclipse tour but saw great but too short eclipse. Hope to be back to full gaming mode soon.

[lion_of_judah]

United Kingdom just posted new turn for USA. The RAF continue to hold the Luftwaffe in check and maintain Air Superiority.

[LJBurstyn]

Japan and China continue their war....

[cpdeyoung]

27 May 1940

The Soviet Union sees massive German and Italian forces on her western borders. Only a failure of memory could lead to war. The Great War was horrible enough, why would nations enter into another.

USA Turn is up

24 June 1940

The Soviet Union does not understand the diplomacy of the United States. We think this must result in tectonic shifts in the alliance landscape.

The Red Army stands ready to defend the Motherland against all comers.

[RufusTFirefly]

Waiting for Britain nearly 10 days now. How is playing GB?

[LJBurstyn]

Japan continues to attack China....no news there...some small advances. Doing this as methodical as possible.

[cpdeyoung]

22 July 1940

The methodical attacks against the Chinese people have gotten the attention of the Politburo. China is fruitful ground for Communism, and we do not look with favor on the Japanese Empire expanding at Chinese expense. Red Army resources are moving east to support the Chinese.

The USSR is now at peace with Germany and we will be normalizing the border between our nations.

[lion_of_judah]

[cpdeyoung]

Very sorry to hear that! Enjoy your play, and pause when it gets a bit much.
