portugal joins the allies!!!... which is kind of ahistorical to me ...

Portugal was historically an ally of England since 1373 but during WW2 the government was fascist style and I don't think Portugal would have any interest to declare war to Germany from which there was no threat and no gain to obtain. A fascist Spain at the border knowingly favoring Germany was surely not going to help a decision to join the Allies. Think this event should be scrapped entirely.

Japan Sp 44

The blockade was broken and the badly needed raw materials arrived to Japan.
More air attacks were launched against the US fleets, resulting in two BB sunk and one LF damaged.
Next turn our airforce will probably be wiped out, lots of US fighters in Formosa.

Turn to Sandeman

SU/Ch Spr'44

Soviet spring offensive commences in Kiev, resulting in the majority of the panzers and arty out of commission for a while. Kiev is not taken, however [:@]

And the result...

Spring 1944 - WA launches major air strikes at both Europe and Japan, with mixed results. However Allied losses should be replaceable while the Axis resource base was shrunk significantly. Germany has to choose between land units or air units soon.

GER Su44
 
things are not going the GER's way ... with PP hitting new low, GER found it really difficult to reinforce the eastern front.
 
the GER high command is wondering ... D-day this turn?

Japan Su 44

The emperor has ordered a counter strike against US CV based in Luzon, an this time HQ is pleased, we stung again, WA down to only 5 CV on service. Nonetheless we are having a serious problem with raw materials our economy is choking, this turn we broke the navel blockade, but it wasn't too tight.

Roger did you get the turn?
Who has it?

Soviets press on into E.Poland...

Turn sent to Marshall Art

WA Summer 1944 - Japan is left without transports while a landing attempt in Greece fell short - let's call it a commando raid to gain training experience [8D]

With Fall approaching it is time to finally push open the door to Western Europe, Axis infrastructure was bombed continuously.

Japan Fa 44

This time Japan didn't attempt to break the blockade since our merchant fleet no longer existed, nonetheless the airforce managed to sink two LFs and 4 enemy TF.
Production continued on behalf of a CV and a BB who had to be scraped [:@].
We need to hold on for four more turns [:)]

Turn sent to Sandeman.

oh Rafael u are so efficient in posting the AAR ...
 
this is the belated AAR for GER Fa44
 
the GER high command has further consolidated the defence ... not much GER can do to delay the Red Army and can only do what GER can to tighten up the atlantic wall.  things are not looking good and what GER can do is to delay the defeat.
 
interesting to know that at least the GER has delayed D-day and that could seriously affect the outcome of the WWIII ...

Out of town until july 18th.
Bty this is going real slow [:(]
Sandeman did you get the turn I sent 3 weeks ago?

SU/Ch Fa'41

Romania is occupied and W.Poland falls to the Red army with heavy axis losses.

Turn sent to Marshall Art.

Fall 1944 - WA attempt to advance near the hearts of the Axis with mixed results. While Korea is invaded easily as the last stepping stone towards Japan Europe proves to be a fortress, the 2nd front is postponed at least until Winter 1945. As our Russian "friends" are moving West quite nicely we shipped another batch of supplies to keep them moving. Hopefully the Red treat will force Germany to pull some of their Arty, Armour and Infantry away from the beaches of France, Italy and elsewhere. Would be a shame to allow the Communists to simply march into E. Germany [:D]

Turn ready to be sent to A511, however, I lost his Email address over the last weeks[8|]. So please if any of you guys reads this send me a PM with his address please.

GER Wi45
 
To stop the Red Army's advance, troops are indeed pulled back from the beach resorts in france let's hope the boys remains on the beach are enough to fend off the 82th and 101st ...
 
The Third Reich will not surrender ... at least not in Wi45 [:-]

Japan Wi45

Should have evacuated more troops when still had time, too late now. The blockaded is too tight to be broken, instead Japanese HQ orders his bombers to sink as many TF as possible, this time the air boys perform superb 5 TF sunk and 1 damaged (sub attack)

We need to hold on an attemp an armistice [8D]

Turn sent to Sandeman

SU/Ch Wi'45

Red army keeps rolling west, while China is powerless to eject the IJA who has been sitting on the coast for years [:@]

Turn sent to Marshall Art

WA Winter 1945 - With Greece and Spain invaded, WA finally have two feet in the door to Germany - we cannot grant Russia all of Europe [8D]

The Luftwaffe is down to negligible numbers, but several Allied bombers fell victim to the deadly German AA's positioned all over Europe in large numbers. Still, with the Red Army in W.Poland, the Reich is tumbling.

 Japan saw the preliminary bombardments of what will become the landing zone of Operation Olympic, as soon as weather permits [:D]

GER Sp45,
 
The Red Army had stopped at the gate of Berlin but will take the empty Yugo next turn ...
The GI will take the empty Paris next turn ...
But can they beat the clock and take Berlin ahead of the historical schedule??
