Turn 32. Nov/Dec 1944. Allied #9.

USSR. Eastern Germany. A bit of miscalculation on the part of Stavka. No matter, Stalin considers the destruction of a Soviet infantry army and engineering division well worth the destruction of a very strong German anti-tank division. Though I doubt the Soviets in those units destroyed share that same sentiment.

Weather. Active (brutal) weather across the globe. Winter storms hit the Northern Hemisphere and rains/storms hit around the equator and in the Southern Hemisphere.

Turn 32. Nov/Dec 1944. Axis #11.

Actions. Both Germany and Japan take a combine. Italy, with really no units left, takes a pass.

German will use her combine to move two pre WW-1 Finnish battleships out into the Baltic to protect her supply of Swedish iron ore. More significantly, an order is sent to the German u-boat crews operating in the North Atlantic and Faeores Gap to locate and sink allied convoys in the hopes that such action will buy the Reich some time.

Japan will use her combine to move the two (just) reorg CP's out into the Sea of Japan. With storms raging there Japan's is confident (hopes) that these CP's will avoid detection by allied warships and submarines.
