Turn to West.

Oct. 1941.... winter's coming.... can't be good.....[:(]

More partisns killed.

More Allied subs go to the bottom of the Pacific.

Russian subs spying off the coast of China... can't attack.... [:@]

Allied troops routed from S.E. Asia.

Small advance in China.

Small landings in a couple of places....[;)]

Turn sent.
 
Landed in force in Cherbourg.  Blew bridges along the Seine to hinder reinforcements.  Hope to stay in France this time.
 
In the Pacific, converging fleets on Japan.  Took Saipan and did first bombing run on Tokyo.  The fleet was in port so I did not do much damage. 
 
 

Turn China30 sent.

Large Japanese infantry divisions arrived at the southern front near Kunming. The enemy has placed artillery there as well. An air strike on the artillery positions was not very successful. No guns eliminated. Chinese generals worried whether they will be able to hold Kunming.

In the north bombers attacked with small success.

At the Russian theatre the German army group at Vitebsk attacked successfully and caused heavy losses. Two Russian units had to retreat to the city. In a counterattack supported by tanks Russian forces managed to eliminate many SS rifles and forced the Germans to retreat.

Leningrad air division lost fighters in air attacks on Helsinky, while bombardment of fortification at Mannerheim line was successful.

German parachuters are trying to recapture Odessa. The weak partisan unit will not be able to defend. But a tank group advancing to support the enemie´s attack on Odessa is stopped as Russian units blew the bridges and were digging in on the eastern banks of the Dnjestr.

Turn to West.

Nov. 1941... winters coming....

Partisans chased and killed.

Allied subs and small fleet sent to the bottom.

One good and several bad assaults. [:'(]

Turn sent.
 
In Europe, I blew all the bridges across the Rhine.  There is not a standing bridge in France.  I continue to pour troops into Cherbourg.
 
In the Pacific, I land in Japan.  The home islands are not strongly defended.  Hope to grab a city or two. 

In 1945 it have been the German who blew the bridges across the Rhine.



Turn China31 sent.

Japan continues its attack on Kunming. Defenders southeast of the city had to retreat and enemy forces managed to reach the outskirts of Kunming.
In the north Chinese forces started an offensive and crossed the Yellow River.

In Russia the Germans launched a succesful attack on Kiev. The city fell to the enemy, Defenders retreated across the river. Further north German forces caused heavy losses of the defenders of Vitebsk. The division securing the western flank had to stand the main attack and was reduced severly. Some light tank battallions got lost as well. Suported by infantry a tank division crossed the Narva and moved on Tallinn. SS guards are defending the city.

Turn sended

Brrrr, winter time. No beans for my soldiers. They must find a way to keep themselve worm. Schnaps made of rotten aples are produced in the outskrits of Kiev. Recipe was found on one drunken Russian ( so drunk that it take 2 days and lots of beatings to sober him ). Soldiers got so drunk that they didnot advance. Russian counterattack are expected. Artilery and air attack on Smolensk with little sucess. Then land attack ( unfortunatly from only 1 way ) without any sucess. Some antipartisan moves as usualy ( too many partisans Tom, 6-8 per turn, too many ).
In France allied forces are massing and at the moment we cannot counterattack. But our subs may, so we sink some DD and other ships. And then we executed air raid on a single battleship and lost a fighter and divebomber. Tommies win a day again.
In Norway Tommies advancing over the hills. I wonder how is that passible - similar strenght in number of units, and I always lost. Something is missing in thouse Prussian drill. We are too soft . We must make a better training for our recruits.
Then after a long discussion an order of the day was issued.
German garrison in France wes under siege. We attack that a relif attack should be executed on a Tommies unit with 1 med tank and rifle lev 1. Our strenght was 10 rifle 5 SMG, 2 MG all lev 2. Units were pure Prussian stile - higly trained and wery expirienced. And attack went wrong. 1 squad lost his way, MG section take wrong callibar of ammo, and leader was bussy in local whorehouse where he make his HQ. German troops were masacrated and no demage was inflicted on Tommies. Seems to me that France part 2 will be a little diferent tan part 1. We will tray to make a happyend for part 2 also.
And we finaly retake one production city ( somwere near Denmark ). Tommies make our life missrable with taking this one. We finaly retake it but only after we suffered bitter loses in few turns.
And how is so that Italian soldiers lose morale ( like they have one, LOL ). I still have few rifle in Africa so continent is not completly lost.

Turn to West.

Winter in China is harsh... to all sides....

Allied offensive in S.E. Asia crushed.

More partisan hung.

Allied invasion of Japan severly mauled. Most of invasion fleet sent to bottom of Pacific.

Turn sent on.
 
In Europe, I dropped the bridges near Amsterdam and Breslau.  I also crossed the Seine and am moving towards Paris.
 
In Asia, I bridged the Mekong and will continue to move North.  My invasion of Japan was contained but I did take out almost 8000 in supply.

Who has the turn? Su?
 

RTF should have it

I recived turn yestrday, play it and send it on. Winter and partisans are hard combination to deal with. Didnot du much. Destroyed Kuwait, repair some demaged cities. Destroyed bridges in Europe reduce my movements and cost me some problems in transfering of armies.
In France allied forces got a hard grip and seemd to me that this time I will have a problem to beat them back. But maybe Tsunamy came and solve my problem. Good luck all

Sorry for the delay. Had been ill and unable to play.

Nothing important to reprot from Russia. Tallin is encircled and was attacked from the air, but not yet any attempt made to take the city. The enemy ha ssent paratroopers across the Desna, half way between Kiev and Vitebsk. Russian units are unable to engage due to immobility in hard winter. An artillery duell at Kiev caused some losses at Russian side.

Turn to West.

January 1942.

Not much in China as winter sets in hard. Killed some partisans but not all...

More Allies killed in SE Asia... gotta knock out that bridge.....

Japanese home islands safe again. Another US carrier goes to the bottom.

Turn done and sent.
 
In France, army inching forward to Paris.  Wx delaying more than the Germans.  Bombers cut all but 1 bridge around Berlin.  I flew into a Romanian fighter trap in Prague but I was still able to drop the bridges.  Hope to liberate Paris in the next turn or two.
 
In the Pacific, took Kwajelein and Palau.  Found a large, undefended airbase on Hainan and scooped up the planes with a landing.  I got about a dozen.  Hope to build up anti supply forces in region to cut off the south.
 

Russian forces took Tallinn. Now waiting for German division advancing to recapture the city.

Mannerheim line is steadily gunned down, but still too strong to be attacked.

German paratroopers moved deeper into Russian territory.

Hmmm. Russian forces took Talinn and are ready to withrow? Why they dont withrow all the way to Moscov. Bad and ugly SS division are coming.
All Russian wich put down their wepons will be accepted in our ranks, land ( according to their ranks ) will be given to them and at least 3 womens per soldiers will be provided. Food and shelter to wounded are secured. This is not a Goebels propaganda. This is a honest offer of Fuhrer to all Russians. Just dont attack us anymore and give us a free passge to Moscov. Once we deal with thouse invaders in France we may live hapily ever after.

Oh, no problem, comrad. Free passage is garantied. Just straight east til Sibiria. There is shelter, labor and sometimes enough food and clothes. Come on and take a ride to Sibiria, soldier!

Sibiria - no way. We heard that there is cold and long winters. We will hold our positions near Moscov if you agree.
I was not able to play turn yestrday. I will tray to play it today. Sorry.

Feb. 1942 to West.

Winter is a harsh mistress....

Sank an Allied destroyer with troops on it.
