Turn 11 - Paris is an open city so i'm getting lend lease now.

Another shelling of italy with my fleet. Don't want to wear out my welcome or germany will send down some dive bombers.

We're pushing quickly into North Africa .

My English defenses does anyone have any ideas or complaints?

He tried to send his Carrier air after me and i hit them with all 3 battle groups.

The germans have declared war on the balkins. Again i use my bb's to pound the italian soldiers and my 8th army is moving on tripoli!

Wow the italians have spent quite some money on carriers i count 6 of them! I think someone has designs on control of the med!

I used my bb's to spot targets on france too. I took 3 ships killed against 45 Carrier air in the med. I took out 15 Carrier air though. I quickly retired my 3 british fleets to port they are in major need of overhaul. The middle east has been empowered nicely with 8 Tanks and a few hundred rifle II's. Once the germans begin their attack into russia i plan on using my cargoships which i have been steadily building to invade italy in force. Before that comes up i need to find and engage the 6 italian aircraft carriers and sink them. The germans building aircraft carriers is certainly a waste of resources that i can use to my own benefit becuase every ship he builds he can not build 1 tank to invade the soviet union. THe line in the USSR i have been building forts and hope to have a line 2 rivers back to hold until i can get to winter and get my counter attacks going.

Looks like the germans just bypassed my troops in greece. I was hoping he would be cautious and fight them all out of the boot. So i will have to hope for a miracle. I think the greek troops are long for death.

The russian line. I have ample reserves in my HQ's to build adhoc units to throw a stop on the german advance if possible. trying to build as many fortifications as possible so that i can dull the german knife edge.

I started strat bombing lille. Greece fell. I'm having supply issues with britian but i think i got them squared away by focusing 100% on supply for now.

Well the british navy got the crap kicked out of it by the i'ties. 1 Carrier gone 4 battleships gone. Its hard.

That was just the first attack but it was brutal. It was the one thing the british had that i felt like it couldn't be taken from me. Boy was i wrong.

Revenge!! It is small but it is something to hit him for the humiliation of the sinking of the british fleet.

We have a feeling he is going to bomb malta into 1000 pieces tomorrow so we bombed and then moved those fighters to mainland africa where we have a firm foothold.

Germany lands on malta!

I did the last turn at work so no screens. the german attack started and it started hard core. And it started for japan and china as well. The germans took gibraltor and have a heck of a navy. But i seem to have the med for now. It seems like no matter what the germans have so many units i can't stop them. But i might try to launch a limited invasion of france to work some stuff out. AND spain joins germany too..yikes!

Yikes that is a lot of losses. But we killed 1 arty and 1 tank. Alsol turning my turn i was able to husband 10 dive bombers & 10 fighters and we took out 4 tanks took. I also threw a suprise up at a few critical bridges level 2 tank destroyers. The AI used them with great success against me so i bought about 10 over the past 2 turns then just switched back to INFANTRY. I have a pretty good line and there are only about 4 turns until winter sets in so i think i can do this. I'm also planning a 2nd front as the allies which could distract him.

With a turn full of bad news seeing a unit 1/3 the strength of the nazi unit hold it off was heartening. Of course the next combat it was completely annihilated by the tanks. My infantry is going toe to toe with his infantry and holding him. It's just his freaking uber tank units. i've counted 8 of them and each has 1 Heavy tank 5 med tanks and 4 light tanks. SO that is a lot of tanks but hopefully as we get into the interior of russia i can start to find places to kill them 1 by 1. Also i upped my fighters & bombers to level 2 to give me some more punch with my airpower. I can use it to blunt the sword just a little bit. but this is certainly a fight for my life.

Here is my densive line in russia.As you see he's bypassing every single hard point which is fine but those are troops i can use to supply later with transports. And even if they are not in supply and he tries to kill them they will kill a german or two. Every single drop of blood helps me. Especially with winter coming.

The same line with units enabled this time.
