Need to keep researching... Advanced tanks and fighters for Germany at a minimum. Infantry weapons for Italy at a minimum. Advanced fighters for Japan at a minimum.

Aye to that last post; lose the air tech war lose the Western Front. It's likely too late for the economic techs for any of the Axis countries, which wasn't necessarily a bad idea since it basically won you Russia. But in the main I am a bit shocked that you have a grand total of ONE chit invested for all 3 countries...

As I said he pulled out of Moscow so he could place new units elsewhere once the capital got moved (and save a few by pulling them out). Not sure about Leningrad tho since he basically had you stalemated up there. You need to get at least one HQ over to France + at least 6 ground units (+ any fighters you can spare), ASAP. Has he started bombing any mines or cities over there?

He's made 1 strategic bombing run a few turns back.

Turn 94. Axis. April 9, 1943. Opening Messages.

[rkr1958]

Turn 94. Axis. April 9, 1943. Greece/Med. End of Turn.

1. Biggest news was that the allies reduced the axis garrison defending Kalamata to 1-step and landed a tank unit at 6-steps northwest of Kalamata.
2. The axis were able to reinforce the damaged garrison back to full strength (5-steps) and to my surprise and joy destroy the offending allied tank unit.

Turn 94. Axis. April 9, 1943. Research. Germany & Japan.

1. Both Germany and Japan buy an advance fighter research chit.

[rkr1958]

Turn 94. Axis. April 9, 1943. Production. Germany.

1. Germany adds a corps w/available upgrades to their production queue.

[rkr1958]

Turn 94. Axis. April 9, 1943. The Western Front. End of Turn.

1. von Bock is recalled from Russia to command axis forces on the Western Front.
2. Also, the Luftwaffe upgraded a fighter unit based in Berlin.

Turn 94. Axis. April 9, 1943. Battle of the Atlantic. Murmansk Convoys (1/3).

1. U-boats sink 28 MPPs headed to Russia last turn.
2. Unfortunately, U-505 was lost.

[rkr1958]

Turn 94. Axis. April 9, 1943. Battle of the Atlantic. Murmansk Convoys (2/3).

3. U-377 in Bergen reinforced to 8-steps.

[rkr1958]

Turn 94. Axis. April 9, 1943. Battle of the Atlantic. Murmansk Convoys (3/3).

4. German U-boats to date have sunk a total of 1023 MPPs headed for Russia.
5. 1282 MPPs have gotten through.
6. This means that U-boats to date have sunk 44.38% of the convoys intended for Russia.

Turn 94. Axis. April 9, 1943. Battle of the Atlantic. UK Convoys (1/3).

1. Axum continues south.

[rkr1958]

Turn 94. Axis. April 9, 1943. Battle of the Atlantic. UK Convoys (2/3).

2. So do U-30 & U-37.
3. The axis sunk 17 MPPs headed to the UK last turn.

[rkr1958]

Turn 94. Axis. April 9, 1943. Battle of the Atlantic. UK Convoys (2/3).

4. To-date the axis have sunk 871 MPPs headed to the UK.
5. Though 7715 MPPs have gotten through.
6. That 871 MPPs only represents 10.14% of the convoys meant for the UK.
7. However, that's equivalent to 2 to 3 elite tank units and 3 to 4 elite infantry corps. That's better than nothing.
8. Unfortunately, the Battle of the Atlantic has already past apogee from an axis perspective.
