2-16 January 1942

Snow stops any progress anywhere else except in the south where the bridgehead south of Rostov is expanded.

Overall a very poor turn, but the weather was brutal.

A better turn in China for the Japanese. In the north two armies and a corps are destroyed, but perhaps most importantly, Chengchow is occupied.

Brunei, Kuching and Kukum are all captured.

The only action in the Soviet Union once again is in the Caucasus, where the bridge south of Rostov is expanded further, and a Soviet army is destroyed in the Taman Peninsular.

Army Group Terauchi just fails to destroy a Chinese army in the far north. The Communists will be in (probably next turn) so I need to decide what to do with this army group and how far it intends to pursue the Chinese into the hinterland.

Itagachi's forces push south from Chengchow with a view to trying to destroy any Chinese forces caught between the two rivers. Umezu's forces do the same on their left flank.

Better news for the Germans on the Eastern Front in the north. The Finns destroy a Soviet corps west of Belomorsk. To the south the defenders of Parnu and Pskov are finally overcome. The Germans use a liberal smattering of Paratroopers in both attacks, but the Soviet fighters mean they pay a heavy toll.

In the south the Germans take Krasnodar, with a view to pushing east.

Well that was unexpected - and frankly jolly naughty. The Soviets have declared war on the Japanese...

That means I have to get an HQ and some decent infantry on the scene PDQ.

In better news for the Japanese, two Chinese armies were destroyed.

The Italians are about to be kicked out of North Africa. Poor play really. But I felt the boys in East Africa would continue to delay things and the Italians would be better off in the USSR....

In the Soviet Union/Finland, some progress is made. The Finnish III Corps manages to reach Archangel. while IV Corps will be looking to head south toward Volkhov.

Two German armies, supported by the 10 Panzergrenadiers, press on toward Tallin.

In the Caucasus the Romanian tank corps gets over-excited and runs into trouble west of Grozny. But otherwise. steady progress is made.

I need to clear Orel before (hopefully) turning on Moscow. But I can't occupy the city.

Things already looking desperate in Manchuria... Manchouli falls and not a lot left to hit back with.

...but now is not the time to panic.

Umezu continues to press and his forces destroy an army and the fortifications it was defending, northeast of Ichang. Further south, another army and more fortifications are destroyed, southeast of Kweichow.

In the Soviet Union things become tougher, although some progress is made in the Caucasus, where the German/Romanian force push toward Grozny and Stalingrad.

To the north however, little progress is made and there can be no direct assault on Moscow without securing the flanks.
