Spr45 :
As noted, the Japs are poised for a major invasion somewhere in the Pacific. This is Spr45 ! Italian subs report no combat ships in port on the W coast of USA, Panama, nor Hawaii.
In the Atlantic, Italian BB again sneaked past Gibraltrar to damage the Brit BB w of Gibraltrar and send the other Brit ships into Bay of Biscay. One begins to wonder what restricts the Italians from invading Gibraltrar.
A lone Brit tank has moved across central Africa to capture Italian E Africa. Without transports, one wonders what it is now to do. Another is trundling across N Africa...but with no sea supply and few combat units...it is fearful of the rear for food and water supplies. It is hot in this part of the world.
The Allied troops in Sicily might as well be in POW. Some 4 inf + 3 MIL + 1 flak have been surviving there for a year. Awaiting good news is depressing as there have not even been subs to provide cheer and fresh supplies. Being ignored by Italian/German forces seen moving around us...is the ultimate insult.
The G continue to reinforce Iraq to the noted disappointment of R forces in N Persia. This discourages capture of S Persia and leaving N Persia somewhat vulnerable to G advancement and then zero supply for the R forces. G has some 20 supply in theatre for activities.
The only bright spot is the gradual westward crawl of G forces. Even this is somewhat disallusional as evidenced by the air raid this turn. One R Bmbr destroyed and one R Bmbr damaged...not to mention the additional 2 damaged ground artillery. This G is also notorious for traps with his multitude of tanks. Advancing without tanks of R as noted in the R commentary above is an invitation to who knows what sum of mayhem.
To avoid further distress, I, the German; offer the option for my opponents to surrender to the Axis powers...per the attached email sent to them.
To my opponents...Al and Wayne :
My observation of the Pacific is that there exist no Allied shipping in theatre other than transports awaiting demolition on the seas.
Likewise, the Atlantic also looks bereft of allied combat ships.
Without combat ships, prosecution of the war against Japan is a non-starter.
The war against Germany can be pursued...but becomes less and less likely to succeed. I note the Brits are finally building some fighters. He will need sufficient to equal my ftr forces over W germany before H Bmbrs dare appear in skies over W Germany.
Air battles this turn over W France resolved 4 Brit air destroyed to 4 G air damaged. The troops meandering their way to Netherlands, E France, S France were likewise obliterated.
Russia is starting to move westward. It's economy and repair of rail infrastructure to get supplies and troops to the front line will be a hindrance. The Japs are advancing from the East as a further restraint on supplies.
I offer honourable surrender to you.
I admit saluting Wobbly for NOT giving up on the game.
I expect Ben and I would accept a counter match with us being the Allies. If i were to be allies, i humbly ask for either of +5 supply or +1 combat. Game would be v 1.040 .
Should your admission of surrender be acceptable to you, I ask that each puts in commentary to the AAR on the Matrix web site. I-being Germany would be first, followed by Japan, Russia, Allies.
