Holy cow 24 subs! i need to have my carrier air focus on these guys next turn.

The battle so far.

The Soviets are giving kills to the germans at a 50% ratio good enough for me. I also used my mobilzed units to cut off the german spear head! I guess from last game he wasn't used to teh soviets being mobile. Good gosh you guys were right these mobile troops hopfeully can cause him a real pain in the ass. Every turn i'm bringing 6 more trucks online to try to keep a mobile reserve to make sure he respects his supply line which should slow the advance down.

This was one of the attacks we did by encircling a unit. We took more casulaties but we can replace ours more effectively. I have to show the germans he can not walk over me this time. If i do not attack i shall be destroyed piecemeal by the far more mobile german army.

This was one of the 3 armored divisions that were encircled pressing towards kiev from the NW road. We killed one tank at least with minimal losses. I hope i can carry the day or at least delay him long enough to build a european bridgehead.

With my limited chinese airforce i have now decided to strike the weak japanese HQ instead of hit the hardered front line units. I also worked on encircling the japenese army. Now their supplies must come from sea instead of via the road. It should at least distract him for a turn or two and take some pressure of chungking. Also an enemy air attack at the northern city where mao is did damage to me. But a stroke of good luck it also destroyed the bridge! so that will buy us a few turns so i can move those divebombers up there to strike him hard.

Look at those paltry defenses. My operation will be that i'm going to land a fully motorized division (halftracks) at amsterdam since it's undefended. Should be a nuisance. I'm also going to land engineers so i can blow those bridges and try to hold this town as a bridge head.

In a recent game, my western opponent bombed all Amsterdam bridges and blockaded the port with the Royal Navy, so the garrison was cut off from supply.

Glad to hear that!

Chinese arty in the hills, when placed with a strong infantry unit and a flak or two, can really piss off the japs. Unless they have arty of their own close by, that is.

West's turn.

Instead of engaging an dlosing a lot of my fleet i used my carrier air to pick him off slowly.

I forgot to get screens of my landings at amsterdamn. But it wen't perfectly.

Here i used my airpower to knock out most of his arty that will piss him off. He took kiev but my miniencirclements really did a good job as you will see going forward.

Here I hit one of the tank units that got encircled (But was freed but still he had 50% supply)
i managed to make him retreat forward into a pocket i reinforced and might make a good deal of damage next turn.

I attacked across the farthest north river and hit him from 3 sides! A huge victory for the soviet army.

NOte the nazi tank division which has 2 other infantry divisions under it. He might be able to break them out but he won't be focused on advancing!

He almost pushed me over my supply road and cut me off up north but i pushed him back with some attacks from my small air force. I built ARTY this turn and will use it to harass as instrusted

The start of operation windshark.

Interdiction of my med supply lines the greeks might fall yet if they keep this up.

Operation WindShark at the end of the first turn. Man mobile forces really do kick ass. It looks like compared to last game he had no time to build up his defense and i marhced in and took over 3 more cities that are all now producing troops and tanks and mortars for our push into france!

Things at the end of the western turn.
