Meanwhile, the Western Allies move forward into new bases in Siam.

Summer sees the Soviets move into Hungary and Rumania. The Western Allies reinforce France. The situation in Europe during the Western Allied turn.

And a world-view, also during the Summer turn. Note the Japanese also began to move out of parts of China - and the Chinese seized these territories.

Fall sees a fairly successive spoiling attack by the Germans against East France that delays the Allies.

Both Allied powers undertake an air offensive to break the Luftwaffe. The Allied fighters are somewhat inferior - but numbers make up for it. First, the Red Airforce attacks.

Then, the Western Allies attack. Note also the Soviets consolidated their forecs in a strong position in Poland.

Near the beginning of 1944, here is some info on casualty rates so far. It has been a bloody couple of years!

And here are current forces.

Winter sees a substantial airbattle between the Allied land-based-air and the remaining Japanese forces.

A little more detail about the battle.

After previously taking out the Vichy regime, the Allies take Mussolini's Italy out of the war. These two moves are designed to squeeze Germany's esconomy before the final push.

Springs sees attritional battles against Germany. But the Reich holds.

The West.

One last casualty report while both Axis powers remain - near the beginning of Summer of 1944.

And after 5 long years of fighting, Berlin falls and the Third Reich surrenders in Summer of 1944! Japan remains.

Fall of 1944 sees the Allies hit Japan's airforce and the Russians take Hokkaido. At the end of Winter of 1945, the Allies develop the A-bomb - leading to Japan's surrender and staving off a bloody invasion of Fortress Japan. The situation sometime during the last turn - showing the formidable Japanese defenses.

And that's it! Thanks to Gkar for a good game. [:)]

Lazy Chinese should of got in the last second land grabbing action there. [:'(]

The situation sometime during the last turn - showing the formidable Japanese defenses.

Fortifying Japan was one of the few things I did right I guess. I even managed to improve AA air attack and artillery land attack. [:)]
Too bad that I forgot to use the kamikaze option, I wanted to see what can be done with it.

Thanks to you for an - ahem - inspiring match and a nice AAR. To those wanting to read the story from my point of view and with lots of pictures, go here. Don't forget to brush up your German first though! [:D]
