North Allies Front

South Allies Front

Forces and Casualties. Quite a difference from 6 months ago.

Production.

Interesting that of the 3 Allied Powers the US has the least manpower.

Also Russia continues to lose 2 MS per turn even into negative numbers and even though there has been no raiding in several turns.

Tech Advances. I will not bother showing the Deployment Queues as at this stage all the Allies are building is supply trucks.

NOVEMBER 3, 1944

Germany, the only Front that matters now.

NOVEMBER 17, 1944

The Allies tighten the noose by a couple more hexes.

DECEMBER 1, 1944

And a couple more hexes. Looks like the Axis will hold out until 1945.

Even after destroying 20+ Axis Armour and Mechanized in 1944, the Germans still have 8 left (1 is off map).

DECEMEBER 15 AND 29, 1944

In these two turns the Allies gain a few more hexes in their advance on Berlin and Dresden.

JANUARY 12 AND 26, 1945

The Germans surprisingly vacated Dresden. This leaves just Berlin to be taken. Over these two turns the Allies made numerous attacks. In these attacks the Allies sustained 40 step losses and the German Mechanized 13 step losses.

If Stjeand wanted to extend the game he could replace the Mechanized defender with a fresh unit. But I don't think he is interested in extending the game.

This really worries me. In almost 3 years Russian national air experience has only increased 4% (from 35% to 39%). And it is not like I haven't used the Russian air force. They have sustained 358 casualties, the 2nd highest number of casualties of all the combatants.

If this is typical, than I can see why some people just disband the entire Russian air force. I may do the same in the future.

This is way too slow a progress and I hope Alvaro fixes this.

JANUARY 26, 1945 REDONE

Very, very odd. It seems my January 26, 1945 turn did not save to the server and I had to redo my turn. But I didn't get the "screen of death", so I don't know what happened. The only thing I can think of is that instead of clicking the "End of Turn" Button I accidentally clicked on the "Exit" button. But I have never done this before and then I should have noticed when I was returned to the Multiplayer screen it was still my turn. But I didn't notice this. And why is there an "Exit" Button in multiplayer anyway? Isn't this just an invitation to cheat?

Anyway here is Germany after my redone turn.

FEBRUARY 9 AND 23, 1945

After two more turns of unrelenting attacks, Berlin is finally captured. End of game right?

MARCH 9 ,1945

Germany did surrender.

But the brave Finns fight on.
